About Xi Jinping's Hongqi sedan: Why Biden admires it so much?

Last November, China's President Xi Jinping visited the US for the first time in 6 years and met with his counterpart Joe Biden in San Francisco, for talks aimed at easing friction between the two superpowers over military conflicts, drug-trafficking and artificial intelligence. At the end of the meet, Xi's presidential sedan caught Biden's attentions. Biden was excited and called it a "beautiful vehicle". Xi's tailored ride Hongqi is a homegrown brand, which means "red flag" in Chinese. It was born in Mao Zedong's era about 70 years ago, and is now offering sedans for Xi's officials in both state visits and government events. It took China so long to have its own presidential car that can be brought overseas. Why Xi insists on using Hongqi? Why he brings this "huge beauty" with him wherever he goes?
