Xi Jinping

Xi Jinping is the paramount leader of China, serving as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and President of the People's Republic of China since 2012.

He has consolidated power to a degree unseen since Mao Zedong, abolishing presidential term limits in 2018.

His name is often censored on Chinese social media when used critically: Comparisons to Winnie the Pooh got Xi Jinping's image banned in China.
