Xi Jinping’s Three Wishes About Chinese Football
China’s heir apparent brought up football again this week during his meeting with Sohn Hak-kyu, South Korea’s main opposition Democratic Party leader.
From Xinkuaibao via Xinhua:
After the meeting, Sohn Hak-kyu gave a football autographed by Park Ji-Sung to Vice President Xi as a present. As a football fan, Xi expressed that China’s World Cup qualification, hosting of the World Cup and winning the World Cup are his three wishes.

We already saw Wen Jiabao play basketball earlier this year. When do we get to see Xi Jinping take to the pitch for a few minutes?
That’d make an interesting picture, lol. Is this really him kicking a ball?
