Chinese Security Chief Zhou Hongxu Identified Near President Xi Jinping at Diplomatic Events
Zhou Hongxu, a previously unidentified Chinese official frequently seen near President Xi Jinping at major diplomatic events, has been publicly identified through a White House guest list. Zhou is a 55-year-old PLA major general and director of China's Central Guard Bureau, responsible for protecting senior leaders including Xi. His role is typically secretive, and his public appearances at summits like G20, APEC, and meetings with foreign leaders have offered rare insight into this key security figure.
