The Pomp And Ceremony Of President Xi's Oath Taking, President Xi's Body Language


I read the Chinese President XI's body language as he took his oath of office for the South Chinese News.
When I do body language reads for foreign publications I don't always get the link to the story, in this case it will come out in print. So here are my rough notes.
In the video you can skip to his oath, though i think the highly stiff and tense pomp and ceremony is fascinating!



Xi Jinping on Saturday became the first Chinese state leader to take a constitutional oath, as the country’s president and head of its military. The ceremony – which took place after Xi received unanimous support from lawmakers to serve a second term as president – was a symbolic move to show the significance of the constitution, which was revised last week to include Xi’s political theory, “Xi Jinping Thought”.
