Do you recognize the man below? Well, maybe you should. His name is Xi Jinping and as China’s president he is one of the most powerful people in the world.
Xi Jinping was born in 1953. He was the son of Xi Zhongxun, a revolutionary who helped to found the People’s Republic of China. That way, Xi got politics with his mother’s milk. Today he is not only the president of the world’s most populous country, but he is also the boss of the Communist Party that is ruling China with an iron fist. Since China is not a democracy but ruled by the one party, he will most likely lead his country for the next decade. Just recently, he visited England and met David Cameron. A pretty busy guy, ruling over nearly 1.4 billion people. But he still finds it worthwhile visiting our tiny islands.
