Hell I realized myself the other day that there were two leaders between Deng and Xi who I couldn't name and know basically nothing about.

Oh well that's easy, before Xi Jinping there was Hu Jintao, who was a kind of moderate technocratic kind of guy. Always about plans and numbers. And before Jintao there was a magic toad wizard who wore George Romero glasses and would yell at journalists when they asked him stupid shit FrogPog

If you are lying to me about this I do not want to know the truth

I don't think we even have emotes for those guys, and we have a million emotes!

My impression was both of then were fairly boring technocrats but I'm interested to learn more about this magic toad wizard.

This is the only thing I know about Jiang Zemin and I think I might be okay with that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kGPJzusNPA

Omg that's like straight out of a movie. I've seen that "too young, too simple, sometimes naive" quote before but I had no idea that's where it's from. I love it.
