Xi Jinping looks silly in an army uniform.

Trump is going to look even sillier because once he sees this, there's no stopping him.

They need better formal uniform. Those Battle fatigue do not look good.

It'll be some old guys in suits with their hair dyed black.

[Monoriu]

60 is considered young by party standards
