The Overseas Residence Status of Xi Jinping’s Family

According to an in-depth investigation by Bloomberg published in 2012, along with subsequent reporting, the overseas residency status of members of Xi Jinping’s family can be summarized as follows:

  • Qi Qiaoqiao (elder sister) and Deng Jiagui (brother-in-law): Both have been confirmed to hold Canadian permanent resident status. Qi Qiaoqiao and her daughter, Zhang Yannan, also possess Hong Kong permanent resident identity cards.
  • Xi An’an (second elder sister) and Wu Long (brother-in-law): The couple have long resided in Australia and have been identified by multiple media outlets as Australian permanent residents or citizens.
  • Xi Yuanping (younger brother): Xi Yuanping has publicly acknowledged living in Australia for work and family reasons. Verified information indicates that he holds Australian permanent residency as well as a Hong Kong permanent resident identity card.
  • Ke Lingling (former wife): Following their divorce, Ke Lingling emigrated to and settled in the United Kingdom.

At present, there is no public evidence that Xi Jinping himself holds significant overseas assets. Reported family wealth appears to be concentrated primarily in the hands of his elder sister Qi Qiaoqiao and brother-in-law Deng Jiagui. Although the family is said to have reduced certain assets after 2012 to mitigate political risk, their overseas residency statuses, offshore holdings, and extensive business ties continue to draw scrutiny and stand in stark contrast to Xi Jinping’s carefully cultivated image of personal probity and anti-corruption.
