Xi Jinping likely to secure fourth CCP term
With the 21st CCP congress due in late 2027, Xi Jinping appears likely to be confirmed for a fourth five-year term, extending his rule to 2032. Joseph Torigian's biography of Xi Zhongxun traces events that shaped Xi Jinping, including his father's purge in 1962, exile during the Cultural Revolution, work on economic reforms and a fraught role after the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. The book links those family experiences to Xi Jinping's rise and his current concentration of power, and it highlights a central uncertainty for China and the world: whether Xi will maintain tight control or permit visible succession planning.
