San Diego, CA – In an unprecedented move, residents of San Diego have started a petition to invite Chinese President Xi Jinping to their city, not for diplomatic talks or trade discussions, but for what they believe could be the ultimate solution to their urban cleanliness challenges.
The campaign, humorously titled “Operation Clean Sweep: The Xi Jinping Effect,” comes after San Francisco reportedly underwent a rapid transformation, cleaning up streets and removing vagrants ahead of the Chinese leader’s visit. Inspired by these events, San Diegans are hoping for a similar miracle.
“Look, if it takes a visit from a world leader to get our streets in shape, I’m all for it,” said local resident Mark Delgado, who claims he hasn’t seen the sidewalk on his street in months due to the clutter. “Maybe if Xi Jinping plans a tour here, we’ll finally see the original color of our pavements again.”
The petition, has gained unexpected momentum, with thousands of signatures and social media shares. It suggests that if the presence of a high-profile international figure can spur city officials into action in San Francisco, perhaps the same could happen in San Diego.
