China needs a homegrown superhero

The Belt and Road Initiative is brilliant and the Long March rocket program is admirably ambitious. But if China really wants to sound a clarion call on the world stage, it needs a homegrown A-list superhero.

Think about it. America has Superman. Canada has Wolverine. Russia has Red Fury and Britain has Judge Dredd.

Even the Cayman Islands has its own elite crime fighter in Fishkar, an environmentalist who was murdered by being thrown into a toxic waste overflow, then returned to life as a half-fish, half-human mutant seeking revenge on industrial polluters.
