What he lacks in physical stature he makes up for in statesmanship.

President Michael D. Higgins is not the world’s most physically imposing of people, which makes us wonder why the organisers of his speech at the Shangri-La did not give him a proper platform to stand on during his speech at the Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai last Thursday.

He’s in there somewhere. We promise.
