Qiao Liang strolled along the beach below the Santorini Mansion, accompanied not only by several bodyguards but also a group of Greek politicians...
The youngest among them was the current Greek Prime Minister, Tsipras!
Born in '74, Tsipras, as the representative of Greece's Radical Left Party, had always been somewhat unconventional.
In '09, he threatened the European Union with default, and then between '09 and '14, he initiated protests against the Greek government's austerity measures, which earned him immense support within Greece. In '15, he smoothly became the president.
However, he quickly got a lesson from Germany, France, and the European Union combined.
When he took over the mess, Greece's GDP rapidly dropped to 75% of where it was 20 years ago. Saying people were destitute might be an exaggeration, but it was true that the common folk couldn't make ends meet.
Facing the predicament, he had no choice but to bow to the European Union.
