Xi’s southern tour of China yields no surprises
Xi Jingping's southern tour has been compared to Deng Xiaoping's trip in 1992 and described by critics as unimpressive, but what more did they hope for?
Southern tours, made famous by former Chinese paramount leader Deng Xiaoping in 1992, are not what they used to be, but it is unrealistic to expect that they should.
Blame it on Deng Xiaoping, China’s paramount leader from the late 1970s until 1997. China watchers have high expectations of southern tours.
It is difficult to imagine what he might have done to win their applause, but President Xi Jinping’s 2018 southern tour coinciding with the 40th anniversary of China’s “reform and opening up,” which was initiated by Deng, has broadly been met by China watchers with yawns.
