Under President Xi Jinping, China seems to have become the world's bully no one is willing to confront. And yet, In an hour-long address at the centenary celebration of the Communist Party of China, Xi struck a belligerent tone, warning he will not allow anybody to bully, oppress or subjugate China. Xi claimed that “foreign forces” attempting to bully the nation will “get their heads bashed”. How would the aggressive stance of Xi Jinping affect the world? Will this lead to more confrontations?
