The government of China has released a statement describing President Hu’s height as 5 feet 3 inches — but that’s a lie. In a recent picture where Hu was standing next to Danny Vito, Hu looked like he was only slightly taller than DeVito who is only 4 feet 11 inches but is currently shrinking.
If you look at the State Dinner wine toast — you can see that Obama not only towers over Hu, you will also notice that Obama’s glass is full to the brim with wine while the little Chinese guy had just a splash.
