Xi Jinping
Born in 1953 to a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader, Xi Jinping worked his way up the party ranks to become a major player in the Chinese Politburo. Xi Jinping was the son of Xi Zhongxun, who once served as deputy prime minister of China and was an early comrade-in-arms of Mao Zedong.
The elder Xi, however, was often out of favour with his party and government, especially before and during the Cultural Revolution (1966–76) and after he openly criticized the government’s actions during the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident.
In 1974, he was finally received into the party, beginning his political career as an aide to Geng Biao. Geng was a top leader of the ‘People’s Liberation Army’. Xi served three years as the party secretary in the Hebei province of China.
