【Xi Jinping and his wife watch a special North Korean evening performance; giant portraits of both leaders appear at the curtain call — reminiscent of China’s Spring Festival Gala and the Two Sessions venue】CCTV 4-minute version: On the evening of June 8, Xi Jinping and his wife watched a special arts performance together with several thousand North Koreans. During the show, North Korean singers also performed several Chinese songs. At the curtain call, giant portraits of Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un appeared on the stage backdrop. From set design to program lineup, the whole venue style had a bit of a Chinese Spring Festival Gala knockoff feel. The scale and style of the attendees also felt like the Two Sessions at the Great Hall of the People — for Xi’s party watching the show, there was hardly any sense of being abroad; truly feeling at home!
