Similar to Time's Person of the Year; it can be any person or thing that has shaped this decade, either for the better or worse.

Probably someone who has changed the societal landscape for whatever reason. I would say someone involved in raising awareness of climate change. Maybe Attenborough or something.

Xi Jinping - Completely been China's decade and also since the Beijing Olympics of 2008 that sort of opened China up they've probably been the country that has had the most headlines this decade

Wang I disagree. Teclis is a man for all seasons, years, decades....centuries. Timeless.

Zuckerberg is an obvious choice. I'd second that.
We probably should have a woman though.

This should be a global figure. Some of these suggestions are pretty parochial. Not sure any Britons make the grade tbh, with the possible exception of K-Middy.

He maybe a cvnt but its hard to see past the Don tbh. Typifies everything really: inheritance, mediocrity, vulgarism, populism and antiglobalism all wrapped up in a certain sort of feral genius.
