In his victory speech last week, Donald Trump said some people told him that God had given him the chance to fix the country and fulfil his pledge to make America great again.
This is a slogan he had used in his two previous campaigns but it was given an even more prominent position during this year’s presidential election.
The vision shares some similarities with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s vision of China’s great rejuvenation, although their methods and policies are very different.
One must look at how the two leaders define the successes of their goals.
There are several key elements to Xi’s great rejuvenation vision, sometimes described by state media as the Chinese dream, the most important of which is strong Communist Party rule. But it also includes an economically and militarily strong country which justifies that rule.
