{{Quote|The Chinese Dream is about making our country prosperous and strong, revitalizing the nation and bringing a happy life to its people. It is a dream of peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit. It has many things in common with all the beautiful dreams, including the American Dream, of people all over the world.|Xi Jinping, June 2013}}
'''Xi Jinping''' (born June 15, 1953) is a Chinese strongman and politician serving as General Secretary of the [[Communist Party of China]] (CPC), President of the People's Republic of China (PRC), and Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC). Often described as China's "paramount leader" since 2012, he officially received the title of "core leader" from the CPC in 2016.

As general secretary, Xi holds an ''ex-officio'' seat on the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China, China's top decision-making body. He is also the first general secretary born after [[World War II]] and the establishment of the People's Republic of China.

== Biography ==
The son of Chinese Communist veteran Xi Zhongxun, he was [[exile]]d to rural Yanchuan County as a teenager following his father's purge during the Cultural Revolution, and lived in a cave in the village of Liangjiahe, where he worked as the party secretary. After studying at Tsinghua University as a "Worker-Peasant-Soldier student", Xi rose through the ranks politically in China's coastal provinces.

Xi was governor of Fujian from 1999 to 2002, and governor, then party secretary of neighboring Zhejiang from 2002 to 2007. Following the dismissal of the CPC Secretary of Shanghai Chen Liangyu, Xi was transferred to replace him for a brief period in 2007. He joined the Politburo Standing Committee and central secretariat in October 2007, spending the next five years as Chinese paramount leader Hu Jintao's presumed successor. Xi was vice president from 2008 to 2013 and vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission from 2010 to 2012.

Since assuming power, Xi has introduced far-ranging measures to enforce party discipline and to ensure internal unity. His signature anti-corruption campaign has led to the downfall of prominent incumbent and retired Communist Party officials, including members of the Politburo Standing Committee. Described as a Chinese nationalist, he has tightened restrictions over civil society and ideological discourse, advocating internet censorship in China as the concept of "internet sovereignty".

Xi has called for further socialist market economic reforms, for governing according to the law and for strengthening legal institutions, with an emphasis on individual and national aspirations under the slogan "Chinese Dream". He has also championed a more assertive foreign policy, particularly with regard to China-Japan relations, China's claims in the South China Sea, and its role as a leading advocate of free trade and globalization. Xi has sought to expand China's African and Eurasian influence through the Belt and Road Initiative.

Considered the central figure of the fifth generation of leadership of the People's Republic, Xi has significantly centralized institutional power by taking on a wide range of leadership positions, including chairing the newly formed National Security Commission, as well as new steering committees on economic and social reforms, military restructuring and modernization, and the Internet. Said to be one of the most powerful leaders in modern Chinese history, Xi's political thoughts have been written into the party and state constitutions, and under his leadership, the latter was amended to abolish term limits for the presidency.

Due to his accumulation of more power than anyone since [[Mao Zedong]], the significant increase of censorship and mass surveillance, significant deterioration in human rights, the return to a [[cult of personality]] and the removal of term limits for the President in 2018 under his rule, Xi Jinping has been called a dictator by many political observers. However, Xi Jinping remains widely popular in China. A YouGov poll released in July 2019 found that 22% of Chinese people list Xi as the person they admire the most.

In 2017, ''The Economist'' named him the most powerful person in the world. In 2018, Forbes ranked him as the most powerful and influential person in the world, replacing Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] who had been ranked for five consecutive years.

Beginning in 2017, Xi established re-education camps in Xinjiang in an attempt to suppress extremism, terrorism, and separatism among the Uyghur population of that province. Conditions in these camps are brutal, and some have called them "concentration camps" or "gulags". In 2020 it was reported that under Xi's order's, Uyghur women were forced to use contraceptives, get sterilized and get abortions, while use of contraceptives was actually declining across the rest of China. This caused severe drops in Uyghur birth rates, declining 24 percent from 2019 to 2020. Because of the decline, many have accused Xi of genocide.

==Concentration Camps==
Since 2017, the CCP under Jinping has operated a network of [[concentration camp]]s in the Xinjiang autonomous region as part of a [[Uyghur Genocide|campaign of persecution against Uyghur Muslims]].<ref>[https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/8/10/one-million-muslim-uighurs-held-in-secret-china-camps-un-panel One million Muslim Uighurs held in secret China camps: UN panel], ''Al Jazeera''</ref> Between 2017 and 2021 operations were led by [[Chen Quanguo]], a CCP Politburo member and committee secretary who led the region's party committee and government.<ref name=Quanguo>[https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-27/the-architect-of-china-s-muslim-camps-is-a-rising-star-under-xi The Architect of China's Muslim Camps Is a Rising Star Under Xi], ''Bloomberg News''</ref> The camps are reportedly operated outside the Chinese legal system; many Uyghurs have reportedly been interned without trial and no charges have been levied against them (held in administrative detention).<ref>[https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/04/19/break-their-lineage-break-their-roots/chinas-crimes-against-humanity-targeting “Break Their Lineage, Break Their Roots” - China’s Crimes against Humanity Targeting Uyghurs and Other Turkic Muslims], Human Rights Watch</ref> Local authorities are reportedly holding hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs in these camps as well as members of other ethnic minority groups in China, for the stated purpose of countering extremism and [[terrorism]] and promoting social integration. Widespread medical experimentation, rape and torture have been reported in the Uyghur internment camps.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-55794071 'Their goal is to destroy everyone': Uighur camp detainees allege systematic rape], ''BBC News''</ref><ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-xinjiang-uighur-muslim-detention-camps-xi-jinping-persecution-a9165896.html Prisoners in China's Xinjiang concentration camps subjected to gang rape and medical experiments, former detainee says], ''The Independent''</ref><ref>[https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-03/uyghur-renew-calls-for-action-report-rape-abuse-xinjiang-camp/13118190 Uyghur advocates speak out after horrifying accounts of rape and torture in Xinjiang camps in China], ''ABC News''</ref> A number of Uyghur children have reportedly been separated from their parents and forced to assimilate into mainstream Chinese culture,<ref>[https://www.ft.com/content/f0d3223a-7f4d-11e8-bc55-50daf11b720d Uighur children fall victim to China anti-terror drive], ''The Financial Times''</ref> at least 16 thousand mosques are thought to have been demolished on the Chinese government's orders<ref name=Quanguo/> and Uyghur women are alleged to have been forced to undergo sterilization and abortion procedures to keep birth rates down.<ref>[https://apnews.com/article/269b3de1af34e17c1941a514f78d764c China cuts Uighur births with IUDs, abortion, sterilization], ''Associated Press''</ref> 

The internment of Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in the camps constitutes the largest-scale arbitrary detention of ethnic and religious minorities since [[World War II]].<ref>''Why Scholars and Activists Increasingly Fear a Uyghur Genocide in Xinjiang'' by Joanna Finley, ''Journal of Genocide Research''</ref> As of 2020, it was estimated that Chinese authorities may have detained up to 1.8 million people, mostly Uyghurs but also including Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and other ethnic Turkic Muslims, Christians, as well as some foreign citizens including Kazakhstanis, in these secretive internment camps located throughout the region.<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-xinjiang-rights/15-million-muslims-could-be-detained-in-chinas-xinjiang-academic-idUSKCN1QU2MQ 1.5 million Muslims could be detained in China's Xinjiang: academic], ''Reuters''</ref>

In May 2018, Randall Schriver, US Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs, said that "at least a million but likely closer to three million citizens" were imprisoned in detention centers, which he described as "concentration camps".<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-china-concentrationcamps/china-putting-minority-muslims-in-concentration-camps-us-says-idUSKCN1S925K China putting minority Muslims in 'concentration camps,' U.S. says], ''Reuters''</ref> In August 2018, Gay McDougall, a US representative at the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, said that the committee had received many credible reports that 1 million ethnic Uyghurs in China have been held in "re-education camps".<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-45147972 China Uighurs: One million held in political camps, UN told], ''BBC News''</ref> There have been comparisons between the Xinjiang camps and the Chinese Cultural Revolution.
