Chinese leader Xi Jinping took a veiled jab at the United States on April 20 during a speech given at the annual Boao Forum for Asia. Xi’s words immediately drew scrutiny given the communist party’s aggression in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and its lack of good will over calls for transparency over the CCP virus pandemic.
“Bossing others around or meddling in others’ internal affairs will not get one any support,” Xi said in his keynote address at the forum, according to an English translation published by China’s state-run media Xinhua. The Boao is China’s equivalent of Davos, an annual conference held by the nonprofit organization The World Economic Forum to boost public-private sector cooperation.
