qiángguó 墙国
Xi Jinping's hope for wall nationhood. (Source: @democracy8964)
Reference to the Great Firewall; visual pun on "mighty nation" (qiángguó 强国).
There is much talk in China about rising up after years of foreign aggression to become a "mighty nation." While might conjures power on the global stage, the pun "wall nation" alludes to the Great Firewall, the digital barrier between China and the rest of the world.
"Mighty nation" and "wall nation" are only distinguishable in writing, as the characters "mighty" (qiáng 强) and "wall" (qiáng 墙) are pronounced identically.
