Does Xi Jinping have a new speechwriter? Less boasting about the CCP and a more humble tone. Starting with this uncharacteristic sentence:
— Ken Moriyasu (@kenmoriyasu) December 31, 2022
“The Chinese economy has remained the 2nd largest in the world” pic.twitter.com/cF60elEDPM
3/ “It is only natural for different people to have different concerns or different views on the same issues”
— Ken Moriyasu (@kenmoriyasu) December 31, 2022
(Acknowledges the protests) pic.twitter.com/d7AqfI4BUL
5/ A nudge to China’s youth, in effect, telling them that lying flat is not the answer.
— Ken Moriyasu (@kenmoriyasu) December 31, 2022
“For China to develop further, our younger people must step forward and take on their responsibilities”@lajohnstondr pic.twitter.com/wLBazw1lks
7/ And finally a nod to the people working on New Year’s Eve.

I think the new speechwriter is better than the last one.
Anyway, Happy New Year everyone! pic.twitter.com/J855gRZyAz
7/ Also mild on Taiwan.

“The people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are members of one and the same family. I sincerely hope that our compatriots on both sides of the Strait will work together with a unity of purpose to jointly foster lasting prosperity of the Chinese nation” pic.twitter.com/sCjNaNvuEm
