| The 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx on Friday illustrated how times have changed in China, as a group of seven of Donald Trump's trade hawks spent the day in Beijing negotiating over the impending trade war.
Chinese President Xi Jinping gave a major speech on how Marxism still drove China onwards, while across town, his top economic advisor, Vice Premier Liu He, upheld the principals of globalisation and free trade in talks with the American group.
The Marx anniversary speech, which was televised nationally, highlights that Xi is pushing the ruling Communist Party and its philosophy into the centre of Chinese life – on university campuses, in business and in government.
