Xi Jinping



"Xi Jinping. The General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, the President of the People's Republic of China, and the Chairman of the Central Military Commission. If Jinping finds out, he must've been trying to make China look strong once again so it can terrify Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, the three capitalist nations of Asia, and impress North Korea as well."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Rise of Lori Loud
