Even the most ambitious people can hardly match the talk of a Fire Rooster.
It is often overlooked that the 12 zodiac animals also rotate in five characteristic elements: earth, metal, wood, water and fire. While the 12-year-cycle basecoat Rooster is already loud and flamboyant, its 60-year-cycle fire-elemental upgrade can talk the civilized world to cinder.
In such a potentially hotheaded year, how do we even start to talk about the sudden explosion of Chinese soft power in the world?
