The Communist Party of China (CPC) has named President Xi Jinping as the
lingxiu
— a status that has been bestowed only to iconic leaders Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.
The People’s Daily , the official newspaper of the CPC seeking absolute loyalty towards Mr. Xi, posted an article on Monday Jan 15,2018, which, for the first time, elevated Mr. Xi as lingxiu — or “leader”.
“We are fully aware of our responsibilities. We should resolutely support the core, faithfully follow the lingxiu, use our courage and morale... and make strides toward a brighter future,” read the article.
The word lingxiu means “leader” with a positive political connotation and refers to highly revered state leaders
