Xi Jinping Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
It has been a packed week for Xi Jinping with both high-profile diplomatic appearances and symbolic gestures that shape his global and domestic legacy. Just yesterday, September 9, 2025, Xi sent a congratulatory message to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on the 77th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK, affirming the unshakable importance China places on strategic cooperation with North Korea and emphasizing his commitment to strengthening ties between the two nations. This follows Kim’s own recent visit to China for the major events commemorating World War II’s end and the resistance against Japanese aggression. This repeated public alignment is seen by analysts as reinforcing China’s influence in Northeast Asia, and marks a notable episode in Xi’s leadership as regional power dynamics shift, according to official Chinese government releases.
Xi’s calendar has also included key face-to-face meetings with European leaders, most notably on September 9, when he met Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro in Beijing, celebrating 20 years of the China-Portugal comprehensive strategic partnership. Xi highlighted successful bilateral cooperation, the resolution of Macao’s status through peaceful means, and a willingness to deepen collaboration in sustainable development, green tech, and cultural exchange. He also emphasized China’s call for true multilateralism and safeguarding the UN system, a veiled critique of the West’s approach to global governance as reported by Xinhua.
In terms of global economic leadership, Xi sent a congratulatory letter this morning, September 10, to the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services, pledging that China will continue high-standard opening up in services trade and actively promote cooperation to drive global growth. Days earlier, he underscored the centrality of artificial intelligence to both global and Chinese development in his letter to the World Smart Industry Expo, casting China as a responsible AI power and calling for international coordination. These policy messages reflect Xi’s priority of positioning China at the frontier of economic modernization.
Public appearances continue to be carefully choreographed: on September 3, Xi inspected the grand 2025 Victory Day military parade in Beijing, marking the 80th anniversary of Japan’s WWII surrender and showcasing the might and modernization of China’s military, delivering remarks on China’s historic sacrifices and its determination to resist intimidation. These statements were broadcast widely and are considered part of Xi’s narrative of Chinese rejuvenation.
Looking ahead, Xi is scheduled to appear virtually at the BRICS summit, where he will push for a more equitable multipolar order and advocate “win-win” cooperation among emerging economies, as forecasted by the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson. On social media, coverage inside China has been highly curated, focusing on Xi’s international diplomacy and leadership at major anniversaries, while outside platforms continue to debate his positions on the West, North Korea, and economic openness.
