President of the World Game - Official Thread

[Bacon King]

Wen Jiabao
Communist Party
Premier of the People's Republic of China (2003-Present), Vice-Premier with agricultural, environmental, and financial portfolios (1998-2003)

Wen, unusually populist and charistmatic for a high-ranking Chinese official, is running for President of the World to apply the Hu-Wen administration's successes in China throughout the developing world. His platform highlights an international adaptation of China's "Scientific Development Concept" which calls for sustainable development, social welfare, increased democracy, and a 'person-centered' society. He also supports strong measures against corruption.

He highlights his successful management of China's extraordinary economic growth, but notes such advancement must occur hand-in-hand with egalitarian policies that ensure the world's poorest citizens aren't left behind.

In order to preemptly assuage fears that his Presidency would not have the non-Chinese world in mind, Wen has placed his campaign headquarters in Paris, France.

After inagurating his campaign with an internationally televised speech in his Paris headquarters, Wen meets residents throughout the city. He visits a factory, has a meal in a local bakery, and briefly meets with the national leadership of the various Communist and Marxist parties in France. Though he spends more time with the PCF due to its larger size, he entirely distances himself from the divisiveness of the French parties and argues to each party he meets with the ideological views they share with his campaign. He also meets personally with several Communist MPs as well as Christian Favier, the leader of the Val-de-Marne province immediately Southeast of Paris. Wen ends his day with an open-to-the-public townhall meeting hosted by the Parisian university system.

I'm assuming there's been a bit of increased international cohesion due to whatever brought about this world government scenario in the first place.

Regardless, he's emphasizing his commitment to social and economic justice to these party leaders and, when questioned about Chinese governance, highlights the fact that the current government believes strongly in reform to a more democratic and egalitarian nation, and indeed such a policy of utmost importance, but the Chinese Politburo is ever-cautious and advances slowly but steadily on these fronts. He emphasizes that he is very much among the most reform-minded of Chinese officials, but notes that the upper echelons of the PRC government revolves around forming a rough concensus for the sake of stability in the huge nation. He privately points to his groomed successor Xi Jinping's practically open commitment to significant political reform, and highlights that he's long done all he could to push China in the right direction. He privately confindes in the officials that without the Chinese governmental tradition tying his hands, he could more directly and positively influence the world towards the views he shares with the PCF/etc.

In fact, that'll generally be his answer to anyone regarding problems people have with the Chinese government that he's personally unconnected with.
