扬帆远航 | yángfān yuǎnháng

On Sept. 4, Xi Jinping addressed the BRICS Summit leaders in Xiamen. Much of the language revolved around sailing imagery. Not only were the countries likened to ships setting sail on a great voyage, but their leaders were the captains, and they were setting sail at the correct tide. This message of correctly interpreting the trends of the times is critical to understanding Xi’s actions and his views on China’s historic rise.

MEANING

Hoist the sails on a great voyage; undertake a great mission
