HONG KONG, June 14 (Reuters) - Bill Gates, Microsoft Corp's The meeting will mark Xi's first meeting with a foreign private entrepreneur in recent years. The people said the encounter may be a one-on-one meeting. A third source confirmed they would meet, without providing details. The sources did not say what the two might discuss. Gates tweeted on Wednesday that he had landed in Beijing for the first time since 2019 and that he would meet with partners who had been working on global health and development challenges with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation and China's State Council Information Office, which handles media queries on behalf of the Chinese government, did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. Gates stepped down from Microsoft's board in 2020 to focus on philanthropic works related to global health, education and climate change. He quit his full-time executive role at Microsoft in 2008. The last reported meeting between Xi and Gates was in 2015, when they met on the sidelines of the Boao forum in Hainan province. In early 2020, Xi wrote a letter to Gates thanking him, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, for pledging assistance to China including $5 million for the country's fight against COVID-19. The meeting would mark the end of a long hiatus by Xi in recent years from meeting foreign private entrepreneurs and business leaders, after the Chinese president stopped travelling abroad for nearly three years as China shut ...

HONG KONG — Xi’s third five-year term became official when he was the first to walk out onstage at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, where a Chinese President Xi Jinping walks with members of the Chinese Communist Party's new Politburo Standing Committee in Beijing on Sunday.

Since he came to power in 2012, Xi has tightened the party’s grip on the state and society, sidelined political rivals and Over the years, Xi — whom the party named a “core” leader in 2016, putting him on par with Mao and Deng — has increasingly surrounded himself with people unlikely to challenge him or his policies. “What we’re starting to see is sort of an undermining of a lot of the rules, both formal and informal, that were put in place by his predecessors in favor of him getting his allies into the top jobs,” said James Gethyn Evans, an expert in Chinese history and politics at the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University.

Surrounded by party elders, the oldest of them 105-year-old Song Ping, he presented a vision of continuity even though he has moved Xi’s speech will be examined in depth by analysts monitoring China’s path, and Chinese officials for whom the text will be compulsory study. Here are five key takeaways: Hong Kong and Taiwan One of the most bellicose sections of Xi’s speech covered It had achieved “a major transition from chaos to governance”, he said. “Thanks to these moves, order has been restored in Hong Kong, marking a turn for the better in the region.” In a sign of growing focus on “If you’re putting it in the section when people still have an attention span, it means you’re putting it under the microscope,” said Wen-ti Sung, a political analyst at the Australian National University. Xi did not make any significant change from Beijing’s long-term position that China seeks “peaceful reunification” with Taiwan, but will use force if necessary. But he used aggressive language to make a barely veiled attack on US “interference”. “Resolving the Taiwan question is a matter for the Chinese, it is a matter that must be resolved by the Chinese.” The longer party congress work report – of which the speech is an excerpt – said “reunification” remained a requirement for Xi’s dream of the “great rejuvenation” of the Chinese nation, which he aims to complete by 2049. The economy China’s economic growth, turbo-charged for decades, has begun to dramatically slow, leaving officials worri...

BEIJING, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Xi Jinping emerged from the 20th Communist Party Congress with a precedent-breaking third leadership term and a Politburo Standing Committee made up entirely of loyalists, cementing his place as China's most powerful ruler since Mao Zedong. Under Xi's decade in power, China has undergone profound change, both domestically and within the global context. Here are some of the ways that China has changed under Xi. 1. Perceptions of China in the West and U.S.-allied countries have worsened U.S.-China relations have deteriorated sharply in recent years, a decline that accelerated under former U.S. President Donald Trump's hawkish turn on Beijing. But western perceptions have also been worsened by concerns over human rights as well as China's increasing aggression towards Taiwan. Reuters Graphics 3. The taming of once-unruly borderlands The regions of Tibet, Xinjiang and Hong Kong, all far from Beijing, have long created headaches for China's ruling Communist Party. Xi launched unprecedented, sweeping security crackdowns that brought the borderlands under control. In Xinjiang, that included the internment of an estimated one million minority Muslim Uyghurs in camps; in Hong Kong, Beijing responded to major anti-government protests in 2019 with a sweeping national security law.
