Same. I see China as a kind of silver medal for civilization. I think the west is, or was, better and that our metaphysics tend toward greatness but also court greater risk. China is a stable controlled marathon runner compared to the wests reckless sprinting, and this stability will likely win in the long run.

China is looped footage of a runner for 30 minutes when in reality he keeled over from dehydration after the first 5.

Xi's writing is not a whole lot better than Trump's
Trump's is clearly ghostwritten, as are all his books, which ironically means it's actually higher quality than one might expect when jumping into a book unironically entitled
>Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again
which is just about the most boomery, pretentious moral grandstanding name I have ever seen
Xi's writing does seem, credit to the man, to be in his own words, but DAMN he is not a writer. He explains some of his concepts well enough, but there is a constant tone of flatness and bureaucratic, sterile prose.
Perhaps it's better in the original language, I've only read an English translation. But I hear from people who have read it in the original language that it's about the same

Generally, if I'm going to be reading a politician's book, I'm going to be reading an Indian politician. They're beautiful writers nearly universally, and many of them are extremely talented innovators in governance as well.

I remember especially being impressed with A. J. P. Abdul Kalam. I know the India 2020 plan was a bit of a meme on here, but the book that the policy was originally proposed in is fascinating, and seems like a fairly accurate prediction of India's trajectory in the world, as we stand one year past.
