About this listen
Chinese President Xi Jinping has been in the spotlight this week with a flurry of high-profile activities that underscore his focus on domestic priorities and international diplomacy. According to CGTN and Xinhua reporting, Xi completed a two-day inspection tour through Beijing from Monday to Tuesday, February 10th, where he visited primary-level officials and residents while extending Spring Festival greetings to Chinese people both at home and abroad. His first stop was a national information technology innovation park in Beijing E-Town, where he examined cutting-edge developments in artificial intelligence and robotics. Xi expressed newfound confidence in China's technological capabilities, telling researchers and enterprise heads that scientific and technological self-reliance is absolutely key to building a modern socialist country.
But here's where it gets interesting for our biography listeners—Xi then pivoted to more personal, humanistic concerns. On Tuesday morning, according to People's Daily and Xinhua, he visited a seniors apartment complex in Xicheng District, where he spent time chatting with elderly residents and touring a community canteen. He emphasized that caring for the elderly is a shared societal responsibility, urging officials to create conditions for seniors to enjoy fulfilling twilight years. He also made a surprise appearance at the Longfusi commercial area Spring Festival market, mingling with shoppers and vendors in what felt like a calculated gesture of accessibility ahead of the Year of the Horse celebrations beginning February 17th.
On the international stage, Xi has been remarkably active. According to reporting from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and China's Foreign Ministry, he's been deepening BRICS cooperation and hosting diplomatic delegations. The APEC China 2026 First Senior Officials Meeting kicked off in Guangzhou this week, marking the official launch of a year-long series of activities. Xi's Foreign Minister Wang Yi announced that China will prioritize openness, innovation, and cooperation throughout the year.
Additionally, within the past twenty-four hours, Xi attended a Chinese New Year gathering with non-Communist Party personages on Wednesday, continuing his festive season outreach. He also reviewed armed forces combat readiness and extended greetings to service personnel, according to Xinhua.
What emerges from these developments is a portrait of Xi balancing technological ambition with social welfare concerns, all while advancing China's international positioning.
