Buckle up because we’re about to uncover the 9 political tricks Xi Jinping uses, and how YOU can apply them to level up your influence game. Oh, and stick around for an Amazon recommendation that’ll turn you into a power player overnight.
The “Disappear & Reappear” Strategy – Controlling the Narrative
Ever notice how political opponents, billionaires, and even movie stars just… vanish in China? (Looking at you, Jack Ma. ) Xi understands that controlling information = controlling power.
Lesson for You: Control how people perceive you. Be unpredictable. Take social media breaks. Go ghost, then return with a bang, like a boss.
Rewrite the Rulebook (Mid-Game!)
Xi eliminated term limits so he could rule indefinitely. That’s like rewriting your exam paper after submitting it! Genius? Maybe. Manipulative? Definitely.
Lesson for You: In business and life, rules are made by people, so change them to work in your favor. Think outside the box.
Use Fear as a Loyalty Test
One day, you’re a powerful Chinese politician. The next, you’re facing corruption charges. Xi keeps everyone in check with sudden “anti-corruption” purges.
Lesson for You: Fear isn’t always bad. Keep people on their toes. Make them respect your presence. Be mysterious.
The “Great Firewall” Tactic – Control What People See
No Google, no Facebook, no Twitter, China’s internet is a locked-down zone. Xi ensures his people only see what he wants them to see.
Lesson for You: Manage your online presence. Delete those embarrassing old tweets. Craft your personal brand with precision.
Divide & Conquer – Keep Enemies Fighting Each Other
By pitting rivals against each other, Xi ensures no one unites against him. He lets factions battle it out while he stays untouchable.
Lesson for You: Don’t let people gang up on you. Create controlled chaos. Keep rivals distracted while you rise.
Mass Surveillance – Always Be Watching
China has facial recognition cameras everywhere. Everyone knows Big Brother is watching, and that keeps them in line.
Lesson for You: Always be aware of what’s happening. Knowledge is power. Monitor conversations. Stay sharp.
Strategic Censorship – Silence the Noise
Xi doesn’t waste time arguing with critics, he simply removes their platform. Problem solved.
Lesson for You: Don’t engage with negativity. Mute, block, delete. Protect your energy.
Economic Leverage – Make People Dependent on You
China controls supply chains, loans, and trade deals. If you rely on China for business, good luck speaking against them.
Lesson for You: Make yourself indispensable. If people need you, they won’t cross you.
Cult of Personality – Become the Brand
Xi has painted himself as a larger-than-life figure, his face is everywhere, and kids even study “Xi Jinping Thought” in school. He IS the brand.
Lesson for You: Want influence? Make yourself the main character. Own your story. Market yourself like a pro.
The Secret Weapon You NEED to Build Influence
If you want to master the art of influence, you need to learn from the best. That’s why every power player should read Robert Greene’s ‘The 48 Laws of Power’, the ultimate guide to strategic domination.
This book has been used by CEOs, politicians, and even celebrities to navigate power struggles like a pro. Don’t miss out.
