Xi Jinping Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Xi Jinping has been highly visible on the international stage these past days, sending strong signals that reveal both his strategic vision and current political priorities. Fresh off the giant September 3 Victory Day parade in Beijing—the largest military spectacle China has held in six years—Xi stood shoulder to shoulder with Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, signaling a tightening axis among China, Russia, and North Korea. According to The Conversation and Forecast International, this highly orchestrated tableau telegraphed China’s ascendancy as a military power aiming for primacy by 2049, while unveiling new laser air defense systems, satellite killer missiles, and stealth drones. Xi used this platform to remind the world of China’s pivotal role in both past and future struggles, declaring that the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is unstoppable and warning off foreign interference, with clearly implied warnings to the United States regarding Taiwan.

But Xi hasn’t just been projecting power—he’s been busy networking. Over the course of about a week, Xi delivered consecutive congratulatory messages to three different major trade and technology fairs, each time reaffirming China’s commitment to high-standard opening and asserting that China will seek new global partnerships even as the world’s economic landscape faces disruption. According to China Daily, Xi promised a continued push for trade liberalization and international cooperation, inviting business communities to share in China’s development opportunities.

Xi’s diplomatic overtures continued beyond China’s borders. The Chinese Foreign Ministry and Ankara-based Anadolu Agency report that Xi is expected to visit South Korea next month for the APEC summit. This visit could see both Xi and Donald Trump in South Korea together, a clear sign that the biographical contours of Xi’s leadership now intersect with a complex web of regional power plays and trade negotiations.

On the bilateral front, Xi raised the profile of relationships with Zimbabwe and the Republic of Congo this week, upgrading both to “all-weather” or “high-level” communities with a shared future, underlining China’s deepening engagement with the Global South and alliances outside the Western sphere.

Domestically, Xi is tightening economic discipline, as Xinhua reports. He’s called for the “orderly exit” of outdated industrial capacity and is cracking down on chaotic local government investment policies, aiming to repair excessive domestic competition that he calls “involution.” This aligns with new economic data showing sustained, steady growth, which the National Bureau of Statistics credits to Xi’s push for innovation-driven development.

And in headline social media buzz, Xi’s name is all over international coverage as he prepares for a direct phone call with Donald Trump to finalize the deal keeping TikTok alive in the US. ABC News Australia reports the much-anticipated conversation will seal terms around technology ownership and likely open the door for further economic concessions.
