Xi Jinping (born 1953).
President of People's Republic of China. Once I posted his pic here but things have changed and since he'll become a kind of "president for life" I think it's worthy to repeat him.  |

Before returning to A, here are the final letters of the Scandinavian alphabet, for change:
Robert Åsbacka (b. 1961), Finnish (finlandssvensk) novelist. [aka "Swedish O", pronounced as a long O.] Tauno Äikää (1917 - 2008), Finnish organist and pianist. [Ä is quite common in Finnish - though not in person's names - , pronounced as the 'a' in 'mad' or 'cat'.] Hanne Ørstavik (b. 1969), Norwegian novelist. [Ö: compare the pronunciation of 'bird' or 'her'.]  |
