My Take
I approach Xi Jinping less as a celebrity and more as a figure who will define how historians write about this century. What strikes me is the sheer concentration of his trajectory: a Tsinghua-educated party insider who, since 2012, has centralized authority in a way few modern leaders have managed. The list of foreign decorations on his record reads like a map of shifting global alliances, which I find quietly fascinating. You do not have to admire him to study him; in fact, the less you admire him, the more carefully you should watch what he does next.
