CNN: Misteriosul Zhou Hongxu, „omul forte” al lui Xi Jinping a fost identificat la Casa Albă. Aparițiile sale stârnesc speculații

A Chinese security official, Zhou Hongxu, has been identified after years of mystery, following a guest list from the White House. Zhou, director of the Central Guard Bureau, has been seen alongside Xi Jinping at significant events. His role was confirmed when the White House listed Chinese officials attending a state dinner. Zhou's increasing visibility suggests he may be entrusted with greater responsibilities within the Chinese leadership. The Central Guard Bureau, akin to the U.S. Secret Service, is responsible for protecting top leaders. Zhou's background remains largely unknown, and his appearances have been rare, often only captured in fleeting media images. Analysts note that his presence at high-profile diplomatic events indicates a potential shift in leadership dynamics ahead of the upcoming Communist Party Congress.
