China · 2012–
Xi Jinping
Party control over a large private sector, nationalism, and a surveillance state.
Xi Jinping is on the world-leaders chart for China, 2012–. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: Party control over a large private sector, nationalism, and a surveillance state.
The dot is economics -6 and authority +86, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is near the middle on economics. The other axis sits toward authority. Left means a larger public role. Up means more authority. Neither direction is treated as the correct one.
A second note separates what was said in public from what the government then did. Said: National rejuvenation, an end to poverty, and a party that cannot be corrupted or opposed. Done: An anti-poverty campaign, a surveillance state, and a term limit removed. The gap, when there is one, is part of the placement. A promise that was kept and a promise that was dropped are not given the same weight.
The nearest other figures on these two numbers are Ruhollah Khomeini (Iran, -8 / +90) and Vladimir Putin (Russia, +14 / +80). Nearest means nearest on the chart, not alike in character.
Two governments can share a number and share nothing else. The source is the public governing record, not a news write-up and not a campaign advertisement.
