Xi Jingyi is a Yuaneze politician who served as the President of the People's Republic of Yuan, a position he assumed in 2014 and lost in 2022. As the central figure of the fifth generation of leadership of the People's Republic, Xi has significantly centralised institutional power by taking on a wide range of leadership positions, including chairing the National Security Commission, as well as new steering committees on economic and social reforms, military restructuring and modernization, and the internet. Xi's political thoughts have been written into the party and state constitutions, and a cult of personality has developed around him. Xi has been labelled a dictator by some political observers, citing an increase of censorship and mass surveillance, deterioration in human rights, and the removal of term limits for the presidency under his tenure, granting him many international condemnations from the Coalition of Crown Albatross.
After the escalation of the Jinchon Sea crisis and ACWAC-military action against Tasiastan in 2022, the People's Assembly removed Xi from power and replaced him with Qin Chen, who was previously the Vice-Premier. Xi was placed under house arrest.
