Xi Jinping: from a boy to China’s leader
As Chinese legal authority is drafting its first Internet administration law, which is believed to be used to control people's speech freedom online by some foreign media, China's State-owned media Xinhua is releasing life photos of Xi Jinping, Communist Party of China's new leader, collectively. It is rare for Chinese media to do so, especially when it comes to the leader's family, who also appear in the photos. It is believed China's new leadership is taking this action to shorten their distance with common people. In China, State leader's life has never been public topic in the State-run media before the death of the leader. When a taboo becomes an open topic, Xi is giving people new hopes that more changes will occur to China during his reign.
