China's new leaders: Xi Jinping heads line-up

Xi Jinping has been confirmed as the man chosen to lead China for the next decade.

Mr Xi led the new Politburo Standing Committee out onto the stage at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, signalling his elevation to the top of China's ruling Communist Party.

He replaces Hu Jintao, under whose administration China has seen a decade of extraordinary growth.

The move marks the official passing of power from one generation to the next.
Mr Xi was followed by Li Keqiang, the man set to succeed Premier Wen Jiabao, and five other men - meaning that the size of the all-powerful Standing Committee had been reduced from nine to seven.

Those five, in order of seniority, were Vice-Premier Zhang Dejiang, Shanghai party boss Yu Zhengsheng, propaganda chief Liu Yunshan, Vice-Premier Wang Qishan and Tianjin party boss Zhang Gaoli.

The new leaders had great responsibilities, Mr Xi said, but their mission was to be united, and to lead the party and the people to make the Chinese nation stronger and more powerful.

"The people's desire for a better life is what we shall fight for," he said.
Corruption had to be addressed, he said, and better party discipline was needed. But the new leaders would strive to deliver a good performance in the eyes of the people and the eyes of history.

The new Standing Committee was endorsed in a vote early on Thursday by the new party Central Committee, but in reality the decisions had been made in advance.
The new leaders will gradually take over in the next few months, with Hu Jintao's presidency formally coming to an end at the annual parliament session in March 2013.

Mr Xi has also been named chairman of the Central Military Commission, a Xinhua news agency report said, ending uncertainty over whether that post would be transferred from Hu Jintao immediately.

Mr Hu's predecessor, Jiang Zemin, held on to the post for two years after he stood down from the party leadership.

Mr Xi, a former Shanghai party chief, was appointed to the politburo in 2007.
A "princeling" - a relative of one of China's revolutionary elders - he has spent almost four decades in the Communist Party, serving in top posts in both Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, as well as Shanghai.

The 59-year-old is said to be a protégé of Jiang Zemin, while Li Keqiang is said to have been Mr Hu's preferred successor.

Vice-President Xi Jinping is expected to become China's next president and Communist Party chief.

Current leader Hu Jintao must retire as head of the party in 2012 and from the presidency in 2013, and Mr Xi's current positions all suggest he is in place to assume the top jobs.

The 59-year-old, seen as a "princeling" - a term applied to senior officials who are thought to owe at least some of their success to family connections, is already on the Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.

He is also one of the vice-chairmen of the party's Central Military Commission, which controls the army.

Analysts see this appointment - a position Mr Hu held before he secured the top post - as a key indicator that he is tipped for the very top.

Path to the top Born in Beijing in 1953, he is the son of revolutionary veteran Xi Zhongxun, one of the Communist Party's founding fathers.

Xi Zhongxun was purged from the post of vice-premier in 1962 prior to the Cultural Revolution and eventually imprisoned.
The younger Xi was then sent aged 15 to work in the remote village of Liangjiahe for seven years, like most other "intellectual youth" of the time.

A local village official who knew Mr Xi at that time described him as "very sincere and honest", adding that he was just like one of them "so everybody liked him very much".

Mr Xi has acknowledged that this time spent working alongside villagers was a key experience for him.
He went on to study chemical engineering at Tsinghua University in Beijing, which has produced many of China's current top leaders, including Hu Jintao.

The Associated Press reports he tried to join the Communist Party at least nine times but was rejected because of his father's issues.

Accepted into the party in 1974, Mr Xi served as a local party secretary in Hebei province and then went on to ever more senior roles in Fujian and then Zhejiang provinces.

He was named party chief of Shanghai in 2007 when its former chief, Chen Liangyu, was sacked over corruption charges. Shortly after, he was promoted to the party's Standing Committee and became vice-president in 2008.

Xi Jinping is seen as pro-business, after working hard to attract foreign investment to Fujian and Zhejiang.

In 2005, when he was the Communist Party secretary in Zhejiang, he told media that "government should be a limited government".

He said that whenever there were issues that the government was incapable of handling, the public should be given back the power to tackle them.

Seen as having a zero-tolerance attitude towards corrupt officials, Mr Xi has twice been drafted in to trouble-shoot major problems.
In Fujian, he helped to clear up a corruption scandal in the late 1990s which involved the jailed smuggling kingpin Lai Changxing.
In 2004, he reportedly told officials: "Rein in your spouses, children, relatives, friends and staff, and vow not to use power for personal gain."

But a Bloomberg investigative report in June 2012 that examined the finances of his relatives saw the company's website blocked in China - even though the report said there was no indication of wrongdoing by him or his family.

Xi Jinping is also known as a straight talker. In Mexico in 2009, he hit out at concern over China's growing might.

"Some foreigners with full bellies and nothing better to do engage in finger-pointing at us," he said.

"First, China does not export revolution; second, it does not export famine and poverty; and third, it does not mess around with you. So what else is there to say?"

Other comments he has made - vowing to "smash" any attempts to destabilise Tibet, for example - have contributed to his image as a tough speaker.

Some analysts think that the world will see more of the tough talk after Mr Xi assumes the top job.

"With rising nationalistic sentiments in China, Xi Jinping will have to become more assertive," said Dr Bo Zhiyue, a senior research fellow at the East Asian Institute of the National University of Singapore.

But to many in China, Mr Xi is most famous for his celebrity wife, the singer Peng Liyuan, who also holds the rank of army general. The couple have a daughter named Xi Mingze, who is reportedly studying at Harvard University in the US.

Peng Liyuan has described her husband as frugal, hardworking and down-to-earth. "In my eyes, he's just my husband," she has been quoted as saying.

Little is known of his hobbies beyond his liking for basketball and - according to a leaked US diplomatic cable - Hollywood war movies.

This may have stemmed from his time in the US as a young man. Back in 1985, Mr Xi stayed briefly with a family in the small Iowa town of Muscatine, where he studied some advanced hog-raising techniques.

He visited the town again in February during a US trip seen as a move to raise his international profile.

The visit went down well with those who remembered him. "He was stately, but not at all reserved," resident Joni Axel told the Muscatine Journal. "He had a smile for everybody, and he remembered an event with each old friend."

During the same visit, he called for deeper "strategic trust" between China and the US through closer communication to reduce misunderstandings.

And he called Sino-US relations an "unstoppable river that keeps surging ahead", emphasising that a prosperous China was a positive force for global peace.
