Selected in Secret              Yes                  Yes

Corruption Fighter            Yes                  Yes

Critical of West                   Yes                  Yes

Universal Values                Yes                   Only on Paper

And the winner is. . .Francis, who actually believes in the universal values he espouses.  Chinese exceptionalism isn’t a big seller here.
