World
Hong Kong(CNN) — Xi Jinping has a plan for how the world should work, and

and center. That bid was in the spotlight like never before last month in
Beijing, when Xi, flanked by Russian President Vladimir Putin, United Nations
Secretary General Antonio Guterres, and some two dozen top dignitaries from
around the world, hailed China as the only country capable of navigating the
challenges of the 21st century.
