Chen Sisi, star of a song-and-dance group run by China's nuclear-missile corps, is playing her part in a barrage of dream-themed propaganda unleashed by the Communist Party. On November 29th, two weeks after his appointment as the party's general secretary and military commander-in-chief, Xi Jinping visited the grandiose National Museum next to Tiananmen Square. Flanked by six dour-looking, dark-clad colleagues from the Politburo's standing committee, Xi told a gaggle of press and museum workers that the greatest Chinese dream was the great revival of the Chinese nation. The National Museum's "Road to Revival" exhibit is a propaganda romp through China's history since the mid-19th century. Xi's words implied that the Chinese dream, in contrast to its American namesake, was about something more than middle-class material comfort. His backdrop made it clear that he was flexing his muscles as a nationalist and as a party believer. Since that debut in November Xi has returned to the idea of the dream on many occasions. Xi's repetition of the slogan, as if rallying demoralised troops, hints at the party's sense that for all its stellar economic achievements, it is still struggling to win public affection. But Xi's talk of a dream will always run the risk of sharpening appetites for change.
