Xi Jinping is Not My President

A story on BBC yesterday got my attention because it talks about the sudden springing up of posters in English and Chinese saying Xi Jinping is Not My President.  These spread from US universities to those overseas.  It is a little ironic that the Not My President movement in the US was directed at Donald Trump.  It was also ironic that one of the targets of Russia during the US election last year was that same group.  Russians gave them money to help stage rallies.  Yes, they funded them on both sides of the issue, but Not My President was one of the biggest contributions.

Now, I wonder if the Russians are still funding it, this time with Xi as the target.  I thought Russia and China were the best of friends.... Maybe, whoever is doing this knows a good idea when they see one.  Soon we will see Vladimir Putin:  Not My President posters on the streets of Russian villages.  I would love to see them in the south of Ukraine and all the NATO countries that border Russia.  Will someone start a crowd funding site for that?
