Xi Jinping is a Chinese politician who has been the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) since 2012, the President of the People's Republic of China since 2013, and the Chairman of the Central Military Commission since 2012. He is one of the most powerful leaders in China's recent history and has been known for consolidating his power and pursuing a more assertive foreign policy.
Xi Jinping was born on June 15, 1953, in Beijing, China. He is the son of Xi Zhongxun, a veteran revolutionary and former Vice Premier of China. Xi Jinping's political career began in the 1970s, and he rose through the ranks of the Chinese Communist Party. Before assuming the highest offices, he held various leadership positions at the provincial and central levels.
During his time as China's leader, Xi Jinping has focused on several key initiatives, including an anti-corruption campaign, economic reform, and asserting China's influence on the global stage through the Belt and Road Initiative and a more assertive foreign policy, especially in the South China Sea.
Xi's leadership style has been characterized by a centralized and authoritative approach, and he has sought to strengthen the power of the Communist Party. His ideas and policies, often referred to as "Xi Jinping Thought," were added to the CPC's constitution in 2017, further solidifying his influence.
Please note that my knowledge is based on information available up to September 2021, and there may have been developments or changes in Xi Jinping's political career or China's domestic and foreign policies since that time.
