Certainly a speech for everyone with any interest in world affairs to pay attention to.  China's accomplishments have been enormous and the clarity with which they deal with their problems has been impressive and singularly effective.  

I doubt many Chinese would trade the progress they have experienced over the past 70 years for liberal sensibilities.  Still, Xi appears to allow for and promote nationalist values in his pitch for adoption of a flexible Chinese socialist model.   

Based on results alone, and backed by increasing Chinese investments, Xi's "helping hand" has to be pretty attractive to many countries.  This is particularly true as the west, with its disconnected elites, struggles to revive egalitarian democracy as most people envision it.  The west no longer provides the ideal working model and this vacuum of vision undoubtedly suits Chinese ascendancy very well.
