Xi says Ball is Life
Gavin Newsom gifted Xi Jinping a custom Golden State Warriors jersey. Xi is printed on the back.
That is the happiest photo of him on this whole US trip

Jesus, Newsom and his wife are the most California looking people I've seen in my life.
They look like the type of people that would play the President and First Lady in a Hollywood film.
30 0 ReplyYeah, the term is overused, but Newsom really is straight out of central casting.
21 0 ReplyIt's funny you say that when Trump recently described Xi that way

13 0 ReplyLmao fucking what why would you do this.
12 0 ReplyBasketball is one of the most popular sports in China. Xi is passionate about sports. They are in San Francisco for this meeting, it's a San Francisco NBA team jersey, the jersey is for the local NBA team. Gavin Newsom is the governor of California. To me, the gesture of the gift is meant to symbolize to Xi, "you are on our team". It is common for sports fans to wear team jerseys when they watch a sport, to support the team.
In the video, upon receiving the gift, Xi jokes "Would I be great if I wear this?" Gavin jokes that Xi would be the MVP (Most Valuable Player). It seems like a very thoughtful gift, in my opinion, and Xi looks genuinely happy to receive it. I think it's a great photo. The dudes are rocking.

Xi has a photo with the Golden Gate Bridge that he really likes, it's probably a reference to that.
