created peace in china and now china has achieved so much more under the leadership of the communist party don't forget that that is the message why i one of president g. is his grip on power now absolute and unchallenged. well it's not on challenge because there are unfortunately for him there's the hong kong problem which he has not managed to resolve so that obviously is for the chinese to see even so the interpretation of what's happening there is carefully scripted by the party but still it is obviously a scratch in his image and it creates doubts on this authority but basically of course he has still been attached to show he has it calmed and he may be the strongest political his strongest political leader ever since more it's a term that's is the image she wanted to create and i think he achieved that and so how visible than 30 hong kong protests to people in mainland china. well as
