10 Shocking Things Xi Has Done As President
Happy Weekend Everyone! I’m back with an important video this week as the 20th Party Congress has officially ended and Xi Jinping has begun his 3rd term as China’s President.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve heard nothing but negative things about Xi Jinping and China’s government in the west, however when we compare what China looked like in 2012 to what it looks like in 2022, it’s a shocking difference. In today’s video I break down 10 major things Xi has done as president (but to always stay objective and fair) I also mention the 6 biggest challenges facing Xi and China in the future.
The 20th Party Congress is officially over and Xi took his Standing Committee to the important city of Yan’An. According to the readout of the Yan’an visit:
“Xi Jinping stressed the need to carry forward the great spirit of party building, carry forward the spirit of Yan'an, firm up historical confidence, strengthen historical initiative, carry forward the spirit of struggle, and unite in striving to achieve the goals and tasks proposed by the 20th Party Congress”
I think this is a significant move from Xi. When the congress met here in 1945 it marked the first time in history that the Party was united under “one thought”. At the time that of course was Mao Zedong thought, and Xi brought his committee back to Yan’An to symbolize that once again the Party is uniting under “one thought” and that thought of course will be Xi Jinping in the foreseeable future.
Will Xi be able to accomplish the Party’s main objectives in this next 5 year term? Watch to the end of today’s video and I also highlight (6) of the biggest challenges facing China in the future.
