A psycho-biographical analysis of Xi Jinping based on his formative years

U.S. intelligence agencies have a long history of studying foreign leaders. Dr. Enrico Suardi recently gave a speech on the psycho-biographical profiling of Xi Jinping. How did Xi Jinping’s formative years help shape his beliefs and character? The best person who can answer that question is Xi Jinping himself. He gave a lengthy interview almost 20 years ago about his life on the Shangbei Plateauu. Getting a glimpse of Xi’s early life will help us understand CCP’s politics and geopolitics.
