I watched the video of Xi's speech during his visit to San Francisco titled: "Xi Jinping on U.S.-China relations" in November. One of the most interesting things he said:

> Our achievements, however great, would be very small when divided by 1.4 billion. But a problem, however small, would be huge when multiplied by 1.4 billion.

To me this gives insight into Xi's way of thinking (and presumably his party). A problem, however small, means to be talking about problems of the individual - multiplied.

Xi may have unintentionally highlighted the fundamental difference between American and Chinese systems in a meeting intended to bridge the gaps.
