Xi Jinping will upend Chinese political traditions cementing his status as one of the world’s most powerful leaders — and take on the U.S. to become the dominant superpower — when members of the country’s ruling Communist Party extend a third term as general secretary at the Party’s 20th National Congress.

Xi, 69, ascended to China’s top job in 2012. During his decade in power he’s had far-reaching influence at home and abroad. He has centralized power and relentlessly cracked down on dissent. He has poured billions into international infrastructure projects and aggressively pursued island construction and militarization in the South China Sea.
