In China, pretty much every party leader's "theories" are added to the party constitution, and every party leader has their articles and speeches and books published, and all of these 'theories', articles and books are applauded by lower level officials as great achievements. The leaders will downplay their achievements while simultaneously bringing those same achievements up in conversation as often as they can, basking in the praise of their inferiors. They pretend to be very humble while keeping an iron fist on the levers of power. Oh Confucius, did you not see this coming?
