The title is the namesake of a recent cover story of the Economist.  The magazine tries to tell the world what kind of a leader President Xi Jinping is for ruling a big country like China.  Here are its observations about him.

He is a man of charisma for sure, being adequately using charm offensive to win him wide popularity in Mainland China, from which he even allows himself playing to the gallery or lets media to lampoon him with caricature to a tolerable extent.  His personal figure, as tall as 180cm, is further embellished by his graceful, elegant wife, Peng Liyuan, a well-known singer of PLA, who is always accompanying him to all of the state visits abroad.  Anyway he is the image represents a brand new China that is now open to the world. 

Although the decision made collectively by CCP's central standing commitee is still the final say of China, Xi has appointed himself as the leaders of every important sector on top of the committe.  In so doing, he intends to carry out the decision with his personal will, as well as takes the responsibilty to let the buck stop in front of him.

He has gained much more publicity from public attention or party mouthpiece than any of his predecessors, except Mao, but he hasn't yet received any interview from media, either from foreign or from domestic.  I think, the magazine may  think as well, that is the strict basic training of a communist that he will never shed any secrecy to anybody until his goal finally comes to fruition.  He is a princeling all right, but he'd received same hardship during Cultural Revolution as others did.  He was cheery-picked through keen competition and numerous odeals, and thus clung the rungs of politcal ladder upward to the top.  Leaders of Taiwan, are you ready to deal with such an opponent?  I might say no one in Taiwan qualifies.
