His family was politically connected from his birth.
It's not like he was a pig farmer, and then suddenly the leader of China.
Old connections did bring him to the top.
Yes, but the connections also brought him disasters. Remember he was sent to feed pigs in rural areas because his father was the underdog in Cultural Revolution.
If Cultural Revolution didn't end the way it did, Xi's fate would be unknown, he might be nobody, or he might be killed because of his father, who knows.
Exactly!
PandaLivesMatter: But his connections together are like one of those treasure swords, it can be the best weapon to win wars to make one the King, but it would also be used to kill the King. It depends on how that sword is pointed. Commoners like us who have no political connection, bad or good, are therefore common and , we may not even survive during a crisis like the cultural revolution. Xi is no ordinary Joe and that's the fact.
As if it's a general rule "old connections = top". Most people are tired of the old flocks having the same feather. May be Xi Jinping is different from his old connections.
Well said.
You might think he made it to the top with political connections but it was the political connections that made him live in a fricken cave. He applied to join the party 10 times and failed 9 times... that shows you how much his political connections did for him.
during Xi's childhood having a father that was a high level official was like having a father who was a criminal, Xi was lucky he even got to have the chance to live in a cave. Deng Xiaoping's son was thrown out of a 2 story building and was paralyzed for the rest of his life.

This video overlooked a big portion of Xi's fight for power--his 10 years in Fujian and Zhejiang as top provincial leader. During the time, he successfully proved himself of being capable to handle both economic and cultural development issues of one economically less developed province--Fujian, and another more developed province--Zhejiang. He only spent one year in Shanghai because he was not meant to rule Shanghai for long--he was "promoted" to become the party secretary of Shanghai simply because the by-then shanghai leader was purged from the party. And Xi was there to stabilize the situation and to clean up the shit. In another word, he proved his loyalty and capability during the previous 10 years so that he earned the trust from the central committee. The reason why he ruled the two provinces successfully and handled shanghai's issue perfectly is not that he "inherited" his father's connection in Beijing, he earned it.
He cemented his power by orchestrating Beijing as the site of the world olympics, which is a substantial win in the eyes of the CCP. The I.O.C, and the W.H.O are all politically tied with Xi JinPing, it's no surprise they tend to parrot whatever message he wants when it suits him.
You weren't expected any Western media plaforms to tell you the truth, were you?
He is a little troll
thanks everybody, thanks the world, now hand me the Oscar statuette
hello,Mr, president
Wtf where did you came from?
beijing ofcourse
Will the real Xi please stand up

As a Chinese, I deeply feel the misunderstanding of the West in China. If you want to understand China, then you must abandon Western thinking and look at China objectively to understand China.

Other two are for decoration...
In Croatia we have 158 parties. In the end, only 2 are important. Btw our system now is much worse, then the communist system we had in Yugoslavia
Do they still teaching history in western school? Possibly not, no one remember how Greece ended and who is Adam Smith.
As an Asian-European, I think Xi is showing the world that time is valuable, don't waste it, take actions. He is archiving goals after goals, while most of the world are just unsure about what they want for their countries...and soon, it might be too late.
admirable
Any country can be prosperous , when it actually focuses on its people and nation. When corruptions are removed , incompetent figures are replaced and strong goals and objectives are set in place with a strong will to accomplish them. This is how i view China and its dreams.
You remember that one poor kid in class where everyone looked down upon, The kid is China when it grew up.
wait, we are not No.1 superpower in the world, and we dont want to be(at this time), we just want the Chinese people have better life standard, period.
Very well said!
Colin Yuan no.1 government,yes ,no.1 chinese ,no, marjority chinese still can not have proper education and also they are living in poverty.
@boiled frog give me your definition of "majority" and "proper". how many people can be called "majority", and how proper can be called "proper"?
I still wonder how you get into youtube, I mean did you just break PRC law?
Jose Vu which law? point it out plz
China Rose to the top with massive speed but staying on the top is the most hardest part. XI jinping is trying to bring about a soft landing to Chinese economy and place in the world it's one of the most difficult task a President can perform... His one belt one road initiative along with his support for green energy is the future for China. We Pakistanis are with xi hundred percent, we believe in the Chinese president vision, that are connected world is a stable and progressive world....
maggie lin - as opposed to the most recent world order which kept most poor countries poor... that's why they are jumping to it... the old way wasn't working for most. the rich countries got richer.
Phil,when you do the right way,how amazing that is,the wealth and success are overflowing into your life ,and you don't know what you gonna do with your wealth perhaps.but greed must be elimated inorder to becomes successful in your life. thats all and thanks,
Sorry bud, the authoritarianism, surveillance state, and social credit scores is a big no for me.

Legends say he is still feeding pigs.
He has become the very disgusting pig himself.
No, wait, that's an insult towards pigs.
He's truly a DEMON is the flesh!
If true, I would feel sorry for the pigs...
he is the pig himself
But of a different kind...with 2 legs and no spine...
🤣😂
Ask those foreigners that live in China or truly know something about China, they would tell you how much respect this man has earned back for his country and himself. We are proud of him, period. Keep an open mind ... there are so many things that you don’t know as an outsider. Man up and stay out of it, let our people find our way to become better.

Im glad this vision includes clean energy, and I thought I read they were banning coal too. I was getting sick of the stereotypes about a place where most us Americans have never even visited.
I wish there was some way I could visit China for free, you know since we're good'ol chums(allies)
Where do u think all the pollution from crap u buy was displaced last 40 years China is a toxic nightmare.they burn lots of coal still mixed with trash n u fund it
I wish China all the best. Wondeful culture and people.

I think one Chinese mode can be promoted every where. That is if you want to be a nation leader, you should have 10 years experience of a province leader first.
china isn't a democracy, its a meritocracy
He actually has an engineering degree from one of the top universities, and at that time, you actually need great intelligence. Though his father and mother both have great powers, so there is a lot of connections.
"need great intelligence"
"engineering"

HE SHOULD HAVE STILL FEED THE PIGS
My great grandfather migrated from China to Thailand for better 100+years ago. He worked and sent money back to help his family back China. When the communism came to Thailand, Thai government targeted all Chinese, consequently my grandfather adapted Thai name and surname and stopped contacting his family back in China. Then around 30 years ago, his relatives came on visit to my grandfather in Thailand (asked for financial help). My father told me he was really sorry for them and they were really poor.
Around 8 years ago, my father followed his uncle on his routine visit to China. My father's uncle always sent money to his relative in China and often visited them before he passed away a few years ago. Moreover he built a few houses for his cousins. My father told me that they were not poor anymore and were wealthier than us in Thailand.
Now their lives are even better!!!
CHINA IS A

Trust me , xi is more uneducated than any Chinese leader in history.
Andras Buzas neither stalin nor mao,both of them are bad leader
From feeding pigs to ruling pigs
Hahaha....that's so funny
A leader that have gone through adversity will learned humility. Humility will allow him to be patient and plan strategically from bottom up in a rationale and efficient manner. A leader without ego will make an excellent leader...
You are delusional. That guy is a killer!!! His power comes from propaganda, fear and corruption. They pay billions every year to people to make videos like this, glorifying “ the success” of a dictator.
@@GR-gq1us Better than nutty Trump or perhaps sleepy Joe? Look at US full of hipocrites. Didn't American media brainwashed whole country to hate chinese as part of their strategy to shift from domestic chaos.
I respect this guy
All he wants to do is to Make China Great Again
And it worked.
You don't see any Mexicans in china.
He's pretty much a dictator right now. He's bent the rules to where he can be president until he dies by dropping term limit. He has also put all his competition in jail. Nobody can really challenge him. People have little rights as the government censors information like in the novel 1984. Here the stupid Americans talk too much about trump when you get thrown in jail for criticizing Xi.
Jack Seerman
It's not nearly as bad as that
nigerian princess I mean Mexico's a thousand miles away from China so I mean you'll find any body from the West there
Those tough years taught him to be diligent, patient, understanding, wise and bite the nail with a smile---qualities a leader needs to rule the rising super power of the world ! Congratulation to China and patriotic Chinese all over the world !
I think his drive for success is the restore his family name and revenge against the type of people who destroyed his father's career
Jimmy Carter went from farming peanuts to President of the USA. But he was also a nuclear engineer who graduated from US Naval Academy at Anapolis. Likewise, Xi Jinping was a chemical engineer and highly experienced in politics throughout his life.
Same with Angela Merkel. Seems like there’s more to chemistry than we’re lead to know…
Wow, things took another turn since then...

So' during farming he pondered and found:
it's so easy to control peoples like farmer raising pigs
reading is power!
President Xi Jinping came from a political family but poor. He works hard to landed where he is today, who's leading a nation of China with the world largest populations.
worked hard for himself, like all representatives of government. as always in China and everywhere else: it’s about money, power, control and ego. whatever fairytales you hear from them is for you to keep quiet and don’t cause trouble. social sciences, lecture 1
Same with suddam Hussain
I find him a quiet spoken decent guy. I admire his cool demeanor, his stable, grounded, stoic & disciplined character.
Why?
Those "human rights" activists are not for human rights but dollars.
yes……If China is ruling by those so-called ‘human rights activists’, it will be splitted and more corrupt
You’re wrong.

This video came on my recommendation when Xi Jinping visited my country Nepal, two days ago. 😂
He wishesh nepal wasnt ur country
Shut up, dorks.
The patience and the determination of some ambitious men are just out of this world. Xi managed to get the position he wanted after decades of struggles and another decades of proving himself to the party. Now that he got the position he aimed for, his work is only just begun.
India's prime minister Narendra Modi used to sell tea in his childhood days.
Yogesh Desai i heard he used to sell his ass to the holy cow
T Rf what is your problem? why you have so much hate? is this because Narendra Modi is more popular even in China than Xi Jinping?
And he’s a virgin, and he’s a faithful man... and that’s relevant to the video how?
"why you have so much hate? is this because Narendra Modi is more popular even in China than Xi Jinping?"
-on the contrary, who the hell is talking about modi here? this video is about xi jinping.
why do indians always feel the need to bring up irrelevant topics (mostly about themselves), in videos about china. is it because bloomberg is talking about xi jinping and not modi?
and where do you get that modi is popular in china? after the recent border skirmishes, he's anything but popular there lmao.
Modi is an educated person, I believe he got his position because of his work. But Xi even did not graduate college properly.
Saying he went from "feeding pigs" is like saying George W Bush went from being a cowboy.
Reagan didnt purge George Sr though
Almost 3 years later... things have changed drastically.
How do i find this kind of background music?
I live in the US but I was born and raised in China. To be very honest, between better lifestyle and complete freedom of speech, I choose better lifestyle, and that means better infrastructure, better public transportation, better standard of living and better health coverage. The only thing lacking in China right now is health coverage which includes food quality and safety, and it should be the next focus.
Freedom of speech...if you look back in history, what has freedom of speech brought to people of China? Civil wars, change of government power which brings wars and death, economic disaster... The majority of people in China are not politicians, nor do they want to be one. They just want simple and better life for their family. At the current stage, with Western powers constantly wanting to prevent China from economic and military growth, having limited political freedom is an effective way. I'm surprised a lot of people don't see this or are choosing to ignore it. The numbers have spoken, just look at where China is at. "Freedom of speech" and "democracy", in Asian background? Sure, take a look at Taiwan and tell me they have a better future.
The word "freedom" has been used and abuse by every western interest groups to pushed their own political agenda that it has lost all meaning. What is freedom and how much freedom should a society grant to its citizenry? Absolute freedom is total anarchy. In fact in order for a civilization to function, its citizens must yield to it's governmental authority so that society can benefit as a whole. In other words, government puts a cap on an individual freedoms. But that begs the question, would that leave corrupting uncheck. Yes it would. But if the government grants its citizenry too much freedom, it cannot allocate the resources to push any initiatives. The government becomes inefficient and cannot function. Both extremes yields anarchy. Just look at india. The question is not about "freedom", but how much freedom should be granted to its citizenry with maximum returns. It is a careful balance. Therefore it is in both in the interest of the people in government and those who are govern, that harmony exist between the two because both groups will lose out if chaos ensues. I believe this is the core of Confucian ideology.
Freedom of speech might be more important than you think, I bet you don't want to live in a place like1984.
宝宝你的分析很到位，给你点个赞。谁要世界第一啊，只要过更好的生活而已。美帝太狭隘，老是丑化中国。他们自己也好不到哪儿去。
I totally agree with what you said. Thanks a lot.

From feeding pigs to being a winnie the pooh
xi jinping on his way to resign because a sinophobic 14 year old on the internet called him winnie the pooh
One thing I immediately thought upon seeing the headline: Didn't King David feed the sheep before he ruled the people?
Respect and propaganda too
Don't get why the western media keep describing him as the most powerful Chinese man in decades...HE IS NOT!
All he did is following Deng. ..
The title should be: From feeding pigs to befriending a piglet.
No wonder I found him so familiar like I see him everywhere..
How many different race using Chinese nicknames and pictures pretending being Chinese for just commenting this clip as anti China,,,,, how you called yourself Chinese at the same time insult you're own people? You can't fool anyone
smart guy
yeah! they use chinese nicknames and still call chinese people as"you people", "them"... that's weird! but you just made a good point.
A lot of people from HK or Taiwan hate China, and they love to pretend that China has nothing to do with them.
China and chinese is different. One a nation and one an ethnicity so don't be confused. Chinese are everywhere around the world and there are many chinese who dislike china particularly those from Taiwan because of some deep rooted civil war in the past and decades long of oppresion against them that hinders their participation and recognition in the world stage.
Dude I hope everyone has the same thought as you did
WHAT ABOUT WINNIE-XI? hhahahhahaha
"Dude uncool"
A great leader, even through this very biased report.
The title and the intro. Purposely want the viewer to connect Xi with pigs, toilet and other negative things. The title could be more neutral like work as a farmer. 😂
He is a GREAT leader!! History will tell......
“Xi” is pronounced “Si”, not “Shi”. Cave houses or “yaodong” (窯洞) are traditional Chinese houses in the Loess Plateau region (黃土高原) of the western Central Plains, in provinces such as Shaanxi (陝西省), and millions of Chinese people still live in such cave houses today which are known to keep the inside of the houses warm in winter and cool in summer.
Okay once you see the resemblance with Winnie the pooh... you cannot unsee it
Awh how things changed in just two years..
Chairman Xi and most definitely the most powerful man on earth without a doubt.
I agree.
I can see Winnie the Pooh is doing quite well for himself nowadays.
I like Winnie the Pooh way more than Donald Duck and Goofy 🤣🤣

I didn't know winnie the pooh raised his friend piglet.
inspirational leader came up from nothing now he is the world's most powerful man and will be so for the foreseeable future
What bothered me the most is the tone embedded in the title of the village “…from feeding pig to…”. So much discrimination and disrespect against the farmers. Regardless of the subject matter here, educated and cultivated people would not despise the farmers as they are the hard working ones who make honest living by providing food to all of us and feeding our basic needs year after year!
No one despises farmers. You're too sensitive
That’s how a true world leader understand the true fundamental of human needed. Not like USA leader threatening the world leader one after another: is this how we want to rule the world???
XI: In his spare time he was reading book. TRUMP: In his spare time he tweets CHINA!
Man its great seeing that place where nothing happened April 19th 1989
It wasnt majority It wasnt even 1 percent of population.
FYI, Xi doesn't "fight corruption", he pins the term corruption on those who he doesn't like.
Typical dictator behavior, like Poohtin
He did the pigs a favor by leaving
Don’t be feeding me lines😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is just motivating
