Xi Jinping Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
In the past week, Xi Jinping has been highly visible and active both on the global stage and within China, making several notable public appearances and engaging in key diplomatic and business dealings. On September 3, he presided over the grand 2025 China Victory Day Parade in Beijing, overseeing a show of military power that featured more than 12,000 troops and cutting-edge weaponry. Xi’s speech at the event was resolute and unmistakably aimed at the West, asserting that China’s national rejuvenation is “unstoppable” and the country will “never be intimidated by any bullies.” He positioned the People’s Liberation Army as a “heroic force” and emphasized China’s central role in safeguarding world peace, a stance that has gained wide coverage in outlets like Wikipedia and RFE RL.
The parade’s sidelines saw a rare moment with Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un together, producing a headline-grabbing hot-mic exchange between Xi and Putin about human organs and lifespan—a conversation later censored by the Chinese authorities. Putin later clarified their discussion centered on biotechnology and the future potential for extending human lifespans, a moment which, although unusual, may influence Xi’s public image with whispers of “immortality” aspirations floating across social media. While rumors and memes swirled online, official Chinese channels quickly removed content related to the exchange, showing Xi’s media management remains rigorous.
Diplomatically, Xi has been strengthening China’s international network, meeting Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro for extensive talks in Beijing and exchanging congratulatory notes with global leaders such as Guyana’s president and Switzerland’s president, highlighting China’s approach to “solidarity and cooperation.” These gestures, reported by China’s official news outlets, reinforce his strategy to deepen ties with countries from Europe to Central Asia. Notably, at the BRICS Virtual Summit on September 8, Xi emphasized unity among BRICS nations, denouncing protectionism and urging the grouping to act as the “leading voice” for the Global South. He proposed stronger multilateral cooperation and greater Belt and Road Initiative engagement—signals of his intent to shape the next phase of global governance.
On the business front, China inked billions in new investment deals alongside the recent Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, especially in Central Asia, with Kazakhstan signing agreements worth $15 billion. Chinese companies are accelerating their overseas expansion, marking a boom year for international ventures in technology, infrastructure, and energy, according to RFE RL’s reporting.
With the opening of the National Cybersecurity Awareness Week looming, Xi has sent greetings to educators for Teachers’ Day and extended congratulations to major trade and technology expos, cementing his domestic visibility. Amidst this activity, however, there have been crackdowns on critics of the military parade, with a handful of social media users detained for disparaging remarks—an uncompromising reminder of the boundaries within China’s digital landscape.
As Xi Jinping maneuvers through this dramatic and high-stakes week—full of military parades, summit speeches, world leader meetings, and social media storms—his leadership continues to shape both China’s future and the global narrative.
