Biography

Xi Jinping (born 15 June 1953) is a Chinese politician who is the paramount leader of China. He has served as the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and chairman of the Party Central Military Commission (CMC) since 2012, and as the president of China and chairman of the State Central Military Commission since 2013. The elder son of Xi Zhongxun's second marriage to Qi Xin, Xi was born in Beijing. He is considered a princeling but kept a low-key image in his early career. As a teenager, his father was purged, and he was sent down to the rural village of Liangjiahe, Shaanxi, during the Cultural Revolution. He lived in a yaodong there, joined the CCP after several failed attempts, and served as the local party secretary. After studying chemical engineering at Tsinghua University as a worker-peasant-soldier student, Xi rose through the party ranks. He served as governor of Fujian from 1999 to 2002 before serving as governor and party secretary of Zhejiang from 2002 to 2007. [1]

Early Life

Xi Jinping was born on 15 June 1953 in Beijing as the third child of Xi Zhongxun and his second wife Qi Xin. A Chinese Communist Party (CCP) revolutionary, Xi's father held a series of posts after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, including head of the Party Publicity Department, vice premier, and vice chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. Xi has two older sisters, Qi Qiaoqiao, born in 1949, and Qi An'an (齐安安), born in 1952. Xi's father was from Fuping County, Shaanxi. Xi went to Beijing Bayi School, where students were primarily the children of high-ranking military officials. In 1963, when Xi was ten years old, his father was purged from the CCP and sent to work in a factory in Luoyang, Henan. Following the start of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, Xi was persecuted due to his father's status. Student militants ransacked the Xi family home. [2]

Leadership

Political observers have called Xi the most powerful Chinese leader since Chairman Mao Zedong, especially since the ending of presidential two-term limits in 2018. Xi has departed from the CCP's previous collective leadership practices. Observers have said that Xi has seriously diluted the influence of the once-dominant Tuanpai, also called the Youth League Faction, which were CCP officials who rose through the Communist Youth League (CYLC). Xi has had a cult of personality constructed around himself since entering office with books, cartoons, pop songs and dance routines honouring his rule. Xi's cult of personality has been especially pronounced in Xinjiang. In 2016, the sixth plenary session of the 18th Central Committee officially announced Xi as the leadership core, making him the fourth leader to have been given this designation after Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin; Hu Jintao was never given this designation. Xi was re-elected as general secretary and CMC chairman by the 19th Central Committee after the 19th Party National Congress, held between 18 and 24 October 2017; the 19th Politburo was noted for containing no potential successor. In March 2018, the first session of the 13th National People's Congress passed constitutional amendments including removal of term limits for the president and vice president, the creation of a National Supervisory Commission, as well as codifying the leading role of the CCP.
