Xi Jinping was expelled from China at the age of 15 by Mao
China's President Xi Jinping, who was elected to the post on March 14 in 2013, was expelled from the country at the age of 15 by China's founder Mao Zedong during the Cultural Revolution in 1969. Jinping then worked as an agricultural labourer in the countryside for seven years. China recently amended its Constitution allowing Jinping to remain President indefinitely.
