Who's Xi Dada? These international students who are living in China spoke their minds as to how they see Chinese President Xi Jinping as a person and as a leader. They were also asked about what would they do or how would they feel if they were given a chance to meet the "cute" president.

People's Daily Online, an online newspaper that is also tagged as the Communist Party mouthpiece, published a PR video ahead of Xi's visit to the United States. The three-and-a-half minute clip featured university students from 15 countries and titled as "Who is Xi Dada?".

Watch this PR Video to know more about "Xi Dada".


Xi Dada is a term of affection in Chinese which translates into "Uncle Xi" or perhaps, "good old Uncle Xi".

As a leader, Xi Jinping is said to have a very strong international reputation. Most of them said that he is wise and powerful but remains to be humble, making him gain much respect from his people.

On the other note, he is also seen as someone who is funny, nice, friendly, and a gentleman -- all these make him a potential husband to most girls.

A lady and a lad from Mexico said that "He is not only a business man but also a family man."

Some of these university students also said they want the Chinese president to visit their countries specifically in the U.S., France and Spain as Xi is very much welcome while another guy invited him to have a pizza together in Chicago.

Thus, some wished their 'Uncle Xi' good luck and shared pieces of their advice: Continue to be a corruption buster and keep up the good work!

They also expressed their love and admiration for Xi. Benedikt, an Austrian guy in pink even exclaimed "Xi Dada, so cute!"

Most of them bid goodbye in the video by saying, "Xi Dada, come on!" while the other four students concluded theirs with "Xi Dada, Ni Hao!".

As of this writing, there is no news yet as to the PR video's sequel or anything of that sort.
