Xi Jinping succeeded Hu Jintao as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party in 2012, and later in 2016 was proclaimed the CCP's 4th leadership core, following Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, and Jiang Zemin. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

The name Xi Jinping administration is officially called the "Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as General Secretary" (以习近平同志为总书记的党中央) from 2012 to 2016, and "Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the Core" (以习近平同志为核心的党中央) since 2016.

Xi's political ideas and principles, known as Xi Jinping Thought, have been incorporated into the party and national constitutions. As the central figure of the fifth generation of leadership of the PRC, Xi has centralized institutional power by taking on multiple positions, including new CCP committees on national security, economic and social reforms, military restructuring and modernization, and the Internet. He and the CCP Central Committee passed a historical resolution in November 2021.

His rule is often described as an authoritarian leader by political and academic observers, while his tenure has included an increase of censorship and mass surveillance, deterioration in human rights, including the internment of a million Uyghurs in Xinjiang (which some observers have described as part of a genocide), a cult of personality developing around Xi, and the removal of term limits for the presidency in 2018.

In economic policy, Xi has prioritized poverty alleviation and creating common prosperity to reduce disparities in wealth. Xi's administration seeks to implement common prosperity in part through its education policy, including through drastically curtailing the tutoring industry and reducing homework burdens. Xi continues to emphasize the need for global development, including through the Belt and Road Initiative.

In foreign policy, Xi emphasizes the Community of Common Destiny. He seeks to increase China's ability to shape international norms in emerging policy areas (described as "new frontiers") like space and the internet, where China can position itself as an early entrant. Xi also seeks to increase China's discourse power, which he frames as China's "right to speak."

Economic policies

Xi Jinping has set three overarching goals for China's economy. ^{[4] : 10} First, to increase China's capacity for innovation so that it will be able to more actively shape global economic rules. ^{[4] : 10} Second, to enhance order and security in China's domestic market. ^{[4] : 10} Third, creating common prosperity and increasing wealth distribution to the poor. ^{[4] : 10}

During the Xi Jinping era, the Chinese government continues to use SOEs to serve non-market objectives and CCP control of SOEs has increased ^{[5] : 138} while taking some limited steps towards market liberalization, such as increasing mixed ownership of SOEs. ^{[5] : 141} Although China has promoted its national champion companies since the Jiang Zemin administration, ^{[6] : 158} it has done so particularly strongly since 2017, especially in the technology sector. ^{[7] : 91}

Since 2015, the CCP has issued several industrial plans designed to emphasize high-tech innovation and digital development. ^{[8] : 135} These industrial plans include Made in China 2025, the "Action Outline for Promoting the Development of Big Data", and the "Three-Year Action Plan to Promote the Development of a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Industry". ^{[8] : 135} China's Thirteenth and Fourteenth Five-Year Plans have also emphasized high-tech and innovative development. ^{[8] : 135}

During the Xi Jinping administration, China has emphasized an economic strategy of dual circulation. ^{[9] : 170} First, it seeks to rely more on China's domestic consumers. ^{[9] : 160} Second, it seeks to innovate more domestically developed technology and thereby reduce China's reliance on western technology. ^{[9] : 160}

By 2020, China became the largest trading partner of more than 120 countries. ^{[10] : 228} At the end of that year, China signed major free trade agreements with the European Union as well as fifteen different Asia-Pacific countries. ^{[7] : 259} As of at least 2023, China is the world's largest exporter, a status it has maintained continuously since 2010. ^{[9] : 88}

China's was the only major world economy to experience GDP growth in 2020, when its GDP increased by 2.3%. ^[7] In 2021, China's GDP growth reached 8.1% (its highest in a decade) and its trade surplus reached an all-time high $687.5 billion. ^[7]

Education reform

See also: Education in China

Xi has implemented a number of education reforms. ^{[4] : 155} Schools are required to adjust their opening hours to be consistent with work hours in their area so that parents can pick-up their children directly after work (in order to reduce reliance on private classes for adult supervision after school hours). ^{[4] : 155} Schools must also promote health by requiring outdoor physical education classes daily and providing eye examinations twice per term. ^{[4] : 155} Educational reforms have also limited the amount of homework students can be assigned. ^{[4] : 156}

As part of Xi's 2021 directive on "double lessening" (reducing excessive off-campus tutoring and reducing homework burdens), schools may not assign homework to children to grades one and two, homework is limited to no more than 60 minutes for children in grades three to six, and no more than 90 minutes for middle school children. ^{[4] : 156} In July 2021, China enacted a series of rules designed to shutdown the private tutoring sector. ^{[4] : 156}

The government's rationale was that rising educational costs were antithetical to the goals of common prosperity. ^{[10] : 67} Shutting down private tutoring was intended to narrow the education gap between rich and poor. ^{[11] : 5} Rules issued in July 2021 prohibits new registration of private tuition tutoring centers and required existing centers to re-organize as non-profits. ^{[4] : 156} Tuition centers are prohibited from being listed on the stock market or receiving "excessive capital." ^{[4] : 156} They are no longer permitted to offer tutoring on the weekends or during public holidays. ^{[4] : 156}

Since September 2021, private schools providing compulsory education can no longer be controlled by foreign entities or individuals. ^{[4] : 57} Only Chinese nationals may serve on their boards of directors. ^{[4] : 157}

Foreign policy

Main articles: Foreign policy of Xi Jinping, Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, and Belt and Road Initiative

During the Xi Jinping administration, China seeks to shape international norms and rules in emerging policy areas where China has an advantage as an early participant. ^{[4] : 188} Xi describes such areas as "new frontiers," and they include policy areas such as space, deep sea, polar regions, the Internet, nuclear safety, anticorruption, and climate change. ^{[4] : 188}

In his effort to build additional institutional capacity for foreign policy coordination, Xi Jinping created the National Security Commission (NSC), which absorbed the NSLG. ^{[12] : 180} The NSC's focus is holistic national security and it addresses both external and internal security matters. ^{[12] : 180} Xi introduced the holistic security concept in 2014, which he defined as taking "the security of the people as compass, political security as its roots, economic security as its pillar, military security, cultural security, and cultural security as its protections, and that relies on the promotion of international security." ^{[13] : 3}

During the Xi Jinping era, the Community of Common Destiny has become China's most important foreign relations formulation. ^{[13] : 6} In his foreign policy discourse, Xi cites the examples of "foreign friends of China" to acknowledge other countries' sacrifices to assist in China's national liberation, particularly with regard to the Second Sino-Japanese war. ^{[14] : 42} For example, during diplomatic visits to other countries, Xi has praised the contributions of people like Claire Lee Chennault, Norman Bethune, Dawarkanath Kotnis, and Soviet pilots. ^{[14] : 42}

Xi emphasizes his desire to increase China's discourse power in international matters, often characterizing this in terms of China's "right to speak". ^{[15] : 103}

During Xi's administration, China has often extended state-backed loans for energy and infrastructure-building in exchange for natural resources in regions like Central Asia and Africa. ^{[16] : 87}

Political thought

Main article: Xi Jinping Thought

"Xi Jinping Thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era" was formally launched at the 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party having gradually been developed since 2012, when Xi became General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party. ^{[4] : 21–26}

In his political discourse, Xi incorporates historical examples and themes. ^{[14] : 32} He describes history as "the best teacher" and "the best textbook". ^{[14] : 32} Especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, Xi encourages the Chinese people to develop "historical self-confidence". ^{[14] : 32} Xi includes ancient history in his political discourse, characterizing China as a "splendid civilization" and highlighting its five thousand years of history. ^{[14] : 33} He often cites the Four Great Inventions as a source of national pride and China's contribution to humanity. ^{[14] : 33} In his discourse for foreign audiences regarding China's peaceful rise, Xi quotes the Confucian saying, "If you do not want to have it yourself, you should not want to impose it on others." ^{[14] : 64} In his discourse on the community of shared future, Xi cites the third century scholar Chen Shou's saying that "delicious soup is made by combining different ingredients." ^{[14] : 64}
