Xi Jinping’s Radical Secrecy
Xi Jinping has never given a press conference. He is the head of China’s ruling Communist Party—a colossal, sprawling political machine with 96.7 million members—yet he does not have a press secretary. His office does not preannounce his domestic travel or visitor log. He does not tweet.What are billed by the official media as important speeches are typically not released until months after Xi has delivered them in closed forums.
