It is very different to assert that Xi is implicitly following Han Fei's authoritarism (a fair statement, but asserted by an analyst) that to say that he is his favourite philosopher.

young photo
there should be a photo of Xi as a youngster. I have seen some great photos online. Would be nice if one of the CPC editors here could release one into wikimedia and add it here. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 10:07, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
I was thinking of a photo of him in his young boy atire, but that might not yet be in commons. Certainly, 2008 is better than nothing just today. Misplaced Pages should be encyclopedic and my favorite thing about encyclopedia Britannica decades ago was looking at the interesting photos.
Image for his article
I have noticed that most of the edits involving in Xi's article includes the change of article image involving the images shown below. We need to establish a consensus on the main image of the article, because I see some minor disagreement on this. Should we choose First or Second? I request the editors to reach a conclusion on which should be the article image. Toadboy123 (talk) 14:56, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Second image
@Toadboy123: Apologies for the late answer. Funny you should mention this, since a landmark decision for Vladimir Putin was made in March. Aside from MOS:LEADIMAGE, MOS:PORTRAIT, which recommends that the portrait be oriented towards the article text, should be considered. The two images you suggest look alright, but not amazing, as representations of the article's subject in my opinion. Both have a low resolution that I'm not a fan of personally. Image 1 has harsher lighting and looks away from the article but is clearer, while Image 2 has softer lighting and looks into the article but is lower-res.
Thus, based on a cursory search of Xi's Wikimedia category, I'd also like to add these images (they may or may not align with MOS:PORTRAIT, it's mostly a guideline after all). These images date from 2016:
New Image (6): Images 2 and 4 are too pixelated. The current image is not too terrible, but it has bad lighting along with the rest, except for Image 6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rousillon (talk • contribs) 14:39, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
My preference is for images that make him look as much like a pug as possible, as such that means image 1 or 6; I kind of think images 2 and 4 are kind of cute as he looks a lot like WTP (which I simply cannot unsee). But in all seriousness, I think one without a distracting background would be best. New Image 2 or 8 fit this bill, but a real image 8 this time. -- Ohc 12:33, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
Wrong "favourite philosopher"
This article states that Xi Jinping's "favourite philosopher and political thinker is Han Fei" and put as a source a hit piece who talks about the authoritarianism of "China’s dictator, Xi Jinping", and says that pro-authoritarian Han Fei must be his favourite philosopher. That is not an academic source, and the article never gives any evidence (when or where Xi has stated that his favourite is Han Fei). Hong Kong free press is an openly anti Xi press (that's totally legit, I happen to agree in general with that spirit) but not a serious source.
It is very different to assert that Xi is implicitly following Han Fei's authoritarism (a fair statement, but asserted by an analyst) that to say that he is his favourite philosopher.
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
