Xi has Hu manhandled.

As a consequence Xi has lost respect in the eyes of impartial observers.

Hu is a frail old man so the behaviour of Xi is appalling, regardless of what issues may exist under the surface. A president who manhandles any ex-president in public disrespects their own office

All parties need to replace hubris and paranoia with some humility, kindness, collaboration and a listening ear. The childish nonsense needs to end if the PRC and its trading partners are to prosper.
