"Commanding the world's second largest economy is an arduous task, as Chinese President Xi Jinping knows well. China commenced its broadest reform in more than 30 years in 2014, leaving Xi with an active domestic agenda. In addition to efforts within the mainland, the Chinese leader has spent nearly a quarter of his time raising China's international profile.

This year, Xi made seven overseas trips that took him to 18 countries spanning five continents, where he attended a string of international meetings including the Nuclear Security Summit, G20 Summit, Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS Summit. Within China, Xi has not only frequently met with visiting foreign leaders but also presided over two important international conferences—respectively the Fourth Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence-Building Measures in Asia in May and the 22nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders' Meeting in November."
