Ha, since Xi Jing Ping is the big boss, you have those "Chinese Dream" slogans with nice traditional art. Those are much less "in your face" than those found in countryside place, like "save food", "save water", "protecting environment is kinda cool", "together united we gonna rock the world".
You also have those TV adds with the same messages. Many of those TV spots are well made and easy to understand. Like, those about putting the right trash in the right bin to help recycling. They are too mild, they should show real footage of people not using the garbage bins, spitting, etc... with "zhu ba jie of the day" footage.
