politics, joining the CCP in 1974 while his father was still in prison. Xi studied [[Marx]], laying the foundation for a career in politics. Xi even went off to join a "worker-peasant-soldier revolutionary committee", a label given provincial governing units during the Cultural Revolution. It was an "open secret" that it was through the "worker-peasant-soldier revolutionary committee" that Xi got his "bachelor's education." Xi's first degree was not a "real" university education, but instead a three-year degree in applied Marxism. Xi's official biography provides no information on Xi between his assignment to Yanchuan county, Shaanxi province, in 1969, and 1975, when, it states, he became a student at Tsinghua University, graduating in 1979.

According to a [[CIA]] assessment leaked by [[WikiLeaks]], Xi is considered a true "elitist" at heart, and believes that rule by a dedicated and committed Communist Party leadership is the key to enduring social stability and national strength, as in the elite-dominated society of his youth, knit together by family ties, elders and male authority. Xi has a genuine sense of "entitlement," believing that members of his generation are the "legitimate heirs" to the revolutionary achievements of their parents and therefore "deserve to rule China." For this reason, Xi could never be a "true member" of President [[Hu Jintao]]'s camp. Xi and other first-generation [[princeling]]s derisively refer to people with non-Party, non-elite, commercial backgrounds like Hu Jintao as "shopkeepers' sons," whose parents did not fight and die
for the [[revolution]] and therefore do not deserve positions of power.<ref>https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/09BEIJING3128_a.html#</ref>
