Xi’s tenure has been marked by anti-corruption crackdown, repressive policies in areas such as Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong, and an increasingly assertive approach to foreign relations.

However, Xi warned against the withdrawal of “Cold War-era” divisions in the Asia-Pacific region on Thursday during a speech on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit, along with the ongoing tensions over Taiwan.
