Experts decode the body language of Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un: who is the leader.

Refinement of body language at China’s military parade

According to The Sun: Body language experts evaluated the interaction between Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un during the military parade in China. One of the leaders took a dominant position, while the other behaved unusually.

Handshakes, back patting, and arguments over a luxurious limousine became obvious signs of who really controls this new world situation.

"It was all about asserting power, about demonstrating power, of the President of China"

His colleague Judy James highlighted who controls the situation among the 'political trio'.

She noted: 'As the host on home soil, the final rituals of power certainly belong to Xi.'

'Stepping onto the balcony to greet the crowd, Putin and Kim Jong Un stand alongside but slightly behind the Chinese leader.'

When Xi stepped onto the central stage, he emphasized his authority by occupying the central position and ascending the steps.

Judy also noted how Xi subtly demonstrated his power in relation to both men.

One way of such demonstration was the handshake.

When he shook Kim's hand, it was particularly warm hug in front of the world.

The greeting with Putin was similar, emphasizing Xi's control.

Xi demonstrated his power and dominant position in all meetings with his allies.

Torches, massive new missiles, and thundering tanks — China’s largest military parade was a sophisticated exhibition.

The visual effects with the unfurling red flags and booming soldiers were aimed at the West.

Xi sent a clear message: 'I am now the boss.'

Commenting on his honored guests Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin, Xi overshadowed them like a mafia chief.

Throughout the parade, the three leaders appeared as friends, which may raise concerns among Western countries.
