In a major speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Chinese President Xi Jinping positioned himself as a defender of globalization and free trade.

Xi said there's "No point" in blaming economic globalization for the world's problems, many of which have nothing to do with global trade, The Telegraph reports.

While the speech was well-received by the crowd at Davos, according to The Guardian, there's also a healthy dose of skepticism about China's actual commitment to global free trade - let alone concerns over human rights or censorship.
