#1 Xi Jinping: General Secretary, Communist Party, China
The leader of the world's most populated country and second largest
economy (GDP), Xi Jinping holds a firm grasp on China's only political
party.
In March, China's parliament amended its constitution, broadening
Xi's power and scrapping term limits.
After ascending to the presidency in 2012, Xi was quick to see the
benefits of privatization-friendly reform.
He is widely credited with the slogan Chinese Dream - a set of personal
and national ideals for the advancement of Chinese society.
He has a surprisingly assertive public profile, even allowing the state
media to publish a day-in-the-life account of his workday.
