【Red Second-Gen Insider Scoop】 At noon today, Xi Jinping convened a meeting with Chinese Finance Ministry officials to discuss the country’s severe economic troubles.
After listening to the grim report, Xi thought long and hard with a serious expression, then solemnly asked the Finance Minister:
“If tonight we take our last $1 trillion in foreign exchange reserves and buy all of Argentina… and if Messi performs normally, couldn’t we instantly get $2 trillion and solve China’s economic problems in one go?”
The moment he finished speaking, all the officials immediately facepalmed, furrowed their brows, and fell into deep thought. Some were trembling all over from thinking too hard.
The red second-gen added: “The conference room was so quiet you could hear everyone’s hearts shattering.”
Note: this is a widely circulated joke on Chinese social media.
