According to the Economist, the Washington Post quotes Trump as saying that China’s current leader, Xi Jinping, is “probably the most powerful” China has had in a century. However, the United States is still the world’s most powerful country, but its leader is weaker at home and less effective abroad than any of his recent predecessors. The article titled “The world’s most powerful man China’s Xi Jinping has more clout than Donald Trump. The world should be wary” says Xi projecting what for China is unprecedented military power abroad. The Economist also says that one-man rule is ultimately a recipe for instability in China, as it has been in the past.
