Video: President Hu Measures Oval Office Drapes

Uri Friedman Jan 19, 2011

Last time we saw President Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao interact courtesy of Taiwan-based Next Media Animation, the two world leaders were engaged in a rap duel about China's undervalued currency and America's indebtedness to the Chinese.

In a new video released by NMA in honor of Hu's visit to Washington this week, the Chinese president descends upon D.C. in China's new stealth jet. From the start, his swagger suggests he's fully aware that China is America's largest creditor and poised to overtake the U.S. as the world's superpower. Hu treats a bumbling, obsequious Obama with disdain, whether he's replacing Obama's Oval Office portrait of George Washington with one of Mao Zedong or leaving the president to his oratory at a press conference to lap up alcohol off a woman's stomach.
