Xi Jinping’s ‘No-show’ state shifts attention from statesman to China ‘emperor’
As Xi Jinping strengthened its image as ‘Global Statesman’ he began with tactful blitz. As he now all set for ‘no show’ on world leaders meet, which is not yet clarifies the true reason behind.
There could be any reason though, its yet thought as a diplomatic infighting with India, cold-shouldering the G-20 Summit meeting in India. Or in mood to sustain newly set BRICS medium. Even reasons could be of handling the economic state of China with the largest property developers of the nations.
Whatsoever the reason be, his absence would have made a major difference in connecting with others, and how he operates his power. This could also buff his image as a peacemaker after ‘Covid isolation’ in last year meet in Bali, Indonesia.
Previously Xi Jinping said – ‘It’s a Statesman responsibility over getting along with other countries’ and now him dodging the big event in India, in thought of getting questions overs it’s economic trajectory and aggression of military towards the Taiwan and of course his support to the Russia on invasion on Ukraine.
For which China being unpredictable on his joining the G-20 Summit. On the other hand, China recently joined the South Africa BRICS summit, made a glaring statement which also included India and now saying no to G-20 Summit means little off from his side in building relations.
Xi’s decision passes out a lot more transparency in Asia 2nd biggest economy. “China-India” ties are more consequential and it raises question on whether this G-20 Summit will be the key to it, or is it reaching the end of effective lifespan.
