When I was studying in Shanghai back in 2012, The Economist published an article about why you should remember the name Xi Jinping. Mr. Xi was about to become General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and, subsequently, the country’s president. Since then, Xi Jinping has definitely made a name for himself. Not only in China but globally as well. He is without doubt the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao Zedong. Many books have been written about his early love for the Party and rapid rise through its ranks. Despite his secretive and highly choreographed personal life, Mr. Xi enjoys strong support at home and non-stop (critical) attention abroad. For better or worse, his name will be remembered.
