Past and present leaders, from Robert Mugabe to Vladimir Putin, have donned red ties for talks with Xi Jinping. First ladies have often gone further
The Honduran president is hardly the first foreign dignitary to pay sartorial homage to China by wearing the national colour. Past and present leaders, from Robert Mugabe to Vladimir Putin, have donned red ties for talks with Mr Xi. On at least two occasions Narendra Modi, India’s prime minister, has slotted a red handkerchief in the pocket of his Nehru jacket when greeting China’s president.
To the Chinese red represents prosperity and good fortune. In the 14th century Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming dynasty , declared it “the most distinguished colour”. Over time red became associated with popular customs. Chinese people give red envelopes stuffed with cash as holiday gifts. New parents often receive red eggs to celebrate the birth of a child.
