As a tall man myself, I am a Big Fan of this mindset: if I was a in a position of dictatorial authority, I am unleashing the MOG WAVE, creating swarms of beastly sons who tromp around the countryside, the fields of grain bristling under their boots, demanding tribute and sacking the granaries of my enemies.
My own take is that this is simply an attempt by the CCP to reconstitute the cultural splendor (dare I say...the objet petit?) of Mao Ze Dong's physical height. He was 5'11', and 'towered' over everyone around him in both literal and geopolitical senses. (Neither Stalin nor Khrushchev was over 5'4)
He looks bad. The good kind of bad. Only thing, someone never taught him how to tie his shoes. If he gets in a tussle with those laces... it could go wrong.
