Notable Father/Son Duos: Xi Jinping and Xi Zhongxun

Chinese president Xi Jinping and his father Xi Zhongxun are just one of several notable father/son duos who have participated in our programs. As Guangdong's governor, the senior Xi led a 1980 provincial leaders delegation to the United States that the Committee arranged. Thirty-two years later the junior Xi, then vice president, was the guest of honor at a National Committee luncheon in Washington, D.C. Other father-son pairs who've engaged with the Committee include Deng Xiaoping/Deng Pufang and Zhu Rongji/Zhu Yunlai.
