In a significant departure from the convention, Chinese President Xi
Jinping, rather than the premier, delivered the National Day speech. This
shift in leadership roles has raised questions and speculation about the
dynamics within the Chinese leadership. President Xi’s decision to
personally address the nation on National Day suggests his desire to assert
his authority and maintain a solid public image. It also highlights his
central role in shaping China’s domestic and foreign policies. This move
could have far-reaching implications for the country’s political landscape
and relations with the rest of the world.
