In 2012, then-CCP General Secretary Hu Jintao visited a certain laboratory. The reception staff handed him disposable shoe covers. The top leader Hu, not knowing what they were for, thought they were dust-proof hats and put one on his head. Xi Jinping, following behind him, also put one on.
The accompanying officials were all stunned, but no one dared to say the leader was wrong, so everyone put shoe covers on their heads.
This is the arrogance of power.
Do you think "The Emperor's New Clothes" is really that far away?
