Abstract
Xi Jinping (Jinping), China's most powerful leader, was born to Xi Zhongxun, who was an early comrade-in-arms of Mao Zedong (Mao), in 1953. Jinping was forced into hard labor for seven years after his father was imprisoned. Jinping survived the experience and became resilient. Subsequently, Jinping joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1974, as a Personal Secretary to the then Minister of Defense Geng Biao. Jinping's profile continued to surge within the party after he was appointed to the China's top decision-making body 'Politburo Standing Committee' in 2007. Eventually he became the General Secretary in 2012 and the country's President in 2013. Thereafter, Jinping quickly consolidated his personal power while cementing China as the regional superpower. Under Jinping's rule, China took more assertive stance in both regional and international affairs including launching of aggressive campaigns against corruption, aggressive military build-up in South China Sea, and the trade project 'Belt and Road Initiative'. Further, Jinping's ascent kept rising, as he reached the same status as late leader Mao. In October 2017, an amendment was made and Jinping's name was added to the Chinese constitution. Further in March 2018, China's Parliament backed by CCP abolished the presidential term limits from its constitution, approving Jinping the right to stay in office indefinitely, and ratifying his status as China's most powerful leader. However, this move of China was criticised by experts, as it was perceived to be against the public interest and could harm China's economy and make Jinping venerable in the long run. Against this backdrop, would Jinping be able to make China the 'Global Powerhouse'?
