Xi Jinping: China's Greatest Chessmaster

Great empires rise, great empires fall, but China always remains. From the days of the Romans to the Holy Roman Empire, from the age of exploration to the age of the internet, the Middle Kingdom has watched the tides of history rise, fall, and rise again.

Over the course of millennia, China's endured, it's prospered, and in the modern day, it's become the world's preeminent rising superpower.

Today, it's a nation of 1.4 billion people, defined by one man. A ruler, a dictator, an enigma. Xi Jinping is the President of China, the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, and the paramount leader of China and its people.
