Xi Jinping

Does China have a New “Emperor”?
AKA
Paramount Leader

Xi’s career was a gradual, unspectacular rise through the ranks of the Communist Party, beginning in the 1970s. His voice was added to other leaders in the actions taken to quell the 1989 uprising. He is seen as a perfect fit for China’s current position as, arguably, the most powerful nation in the 21st century.
