Global China Research & Policy Papers

Xi Jinping: comrade and core leader

Giovanni B. Andornino
Global China T.notes

The 18th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party conferred Xi Jinping the title of 'core leader' at the end of the 6th Plenum last week; yet, "the political significance of this latest development in the Chinese semantics of power appears to be overstated", T.wai Vice President Giovanni Andornino writes.

      “I think there was this idea that China should do more in the Middle East, but it seems like the Chinese experts are not able to spell out what “something else” is. There was no appetite for developing any regional partner or for building a relationship like the one that the United States has with Israel. There was no real appetite for military intervention.
