Dear reader,
China may be an atheist state but Donald Trump’s attack on Pope Leo and
portrayal of himself as a Christ-like figure were met with disbelief in
the country. Trump’s lack of respect for the leader of the world’s 1.4
billion Catholics reflects a complete lack of restraint and the
depiction of himself as Jesus is beyond laughable. For many, the US
president's eruption of ego also points to an equally great internal
failure. In Chinese philosophy, too much pride on the outside is a sign
of profound weakness on the inside – and an inability to reconcile
reality with self-delusion. Not the kind of impression you want to make
just before a summit.
