Since 2012, Xi Jinping has been the highest-ranking official in China. In 2016, he became the fourth person after Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, and Jiang Zemin to receive the 'leadership core' title from the CPC. After becoming the president of PRC, Xi Jinping went on to introduce measures to enforce party discipline and internal unity. His far-reaching campaign against corruption led to the downfall of several 'Communist Party' officials. Xi is known and respected for his integrity, which he managed to keep intact despite the party being named in scandals. As the paramount leader of CPC, Xi constantly works toward the betterment of the country and its people. His vision to establish China as a super-power is the driving force behind his actions.
