FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“There was no golfing when he came over on this trip, that was for sure, and
you know how you see a lot of that kind of thing when important people go on
trips.”
Mr Xi slept in a bedroom belonging to her sons Gary and Mark who had recently
departed for college.
“It had football wallpaper and Star Trek figurines. How did he see that? I
don’t know,” she recalled, “When he looked out of the window he would have
seen a large driveway, with a lot of cement and a basketball hoop. He
probably thought ’how many children have in China that outside their home?’.”
Mrs Dvorchak needn’t have worried that she was making a favourable impression;
next week she will be one of 17 past and present Muscatine residents who
will meet with Mr Xi to share tea, champagne and raise a toast to ’old
times’.
The reunion will provide a perfect photo-opportunity for Mr Xi, symbolising
the hopes of a warmer, more personal engagement with America at a time when
relations are strained over many issues from trade to Syria; Iran sanctions
and human rights.
Mr Xi, a so-called ’princeling’ who is the son of a Communist revolutionary
hero, will be striking a careful pose, poised somewhere between the
flamboyance of the late Deng Xiaoping – who wooed America in 1979 by
attending a rodeo and wearing a ten-gallon hat, and Hu Jintao, the dour and
inscrutable man he succeeds.
Diplomatic stage-management and political realities aside, Muscatine
residents say they hope that the time Mr Xi spent with them should help, in
some small way, to bridge the gap between two countries separated by such a
deep ideological divide.
For all the warmth of the occasion, Mr Xi appeared to display some antipathy
to the US in 2009 when, in an unguarded moment on trip to Mexico he railed
against Americans as “foreigners with full bellies and nothing better to do
[than] engage in finger-pointing at us”.
“We treated him like another member of the family, so we hope that gave a
good impression,” recalled Sarah Lande, 73, who visited China in 1983 and
cooked Mr Xi a meal of corn-fed beef, mashed potatoes and apple pie “he got
a real slice of American life.”
Although it wasn’t appreciated at the time, Mrs Lande said that they had
subsequently read about Mr Xi’s life and the hardship he endured after his
father Xi Zhongxun was purged during the Mao-inspired Cultural Revolution.
“If you read the story of his life, he’s had some good times, some privileged
times, but also some time in the countryside too,” she told The Telegraph,
“He often said that he had many new American friends and that relations
between China and the US are improving because of the many friendships that
have been formed. He seemed to have soul.”
Joan Axel, a local lawyer who also helped entertain Mr Xi, was similarly
charmed after spending evenings with him at a picnic on the verandah of a
local farming family and on a yacht cruising the Mississippi.
“I found him to be enormously curious, very pleasant. I didn’t think it was
an artificial pleasantry at all. I remember not feeling like I had to work
very hard at our exchanges. It didn’t feel stilted, he was very genuine,
although somewhat reserved, of course.”
Even so, no-one guessed that Mr Xi, who is also said to be a big fan of
Hollywood where he will visit after Iowa, would one day become the president
of a nation that many Americans now fear will soon to challenge their place
as the world’s only superpower.
“Oh my lord, no, we never guessed he’d become the president of China,”
concluded Mrs Dvorchak, “He was polite and mild-mannered, with an easy-going
polite personality. I think he’s going to get along with whoever becomes the
next President of the United States.”
