The first thing that Xi should do is to articulate a clearer, more specific, and inspiring version of the China Dream, and stop letting the CCP’s propaganda officials define it for him. The China Dream may include all of the economic benefits and material comfort that ordinary Chinese desire, but it will not be complete without the human rights and dignity that citizens in civilized societies take for granted.
习近平应该做的第一件事情是要明确给出一个更清晰、更具体且鼓舞人心的中国梦版本，并阻止中共宣传官员代他去下定义。中国梦可以包含所有普通中国人想要的经济利益和物质需求，但如果缺乏文明社会公民视为理所当然的人权和尊严，中国梦就会是一个不完整的理念。
