Xi Jinping, who had served as general secretary of the Communist Party for three decades, was largely an unknown quantity. #3 Xi Jinping, the new general secretary, spoke at a press conference shortly after the new leaders made their appearance at the Great Hall of the People. He called for the great revival of the Chinese nation. #4 The Chinese Dream is the idea that China should double its percapita GDP by 2020, have a military capable of fighting and winning wars, and meet the social welfare needs of its citizens.
