Where has President Xi's personal time gone?

BEIJING, Feb. 18 -- "Where's my personal time gone? Surely, most of it has been occupied by work," said Chinese President Xi Jinping in an interview with a Russian TV channel in Sochi early February 2014.


According to the data collected by the Beijing Youth Daily based on official media reports, Xi has conducted more than 80 kinds of activities during the 15 months since the 18th CPC National Congress in November 2012, which include domestic inspections, overseas visits, and conferences.
