Saint-Tropez? No, thank you. China's top leaders will spend their holidays in this modest coastal city

Every summer, Xi Jinping and China's top leaders disappear from public life for several days. The destination is Beidaihe, a discreet coastal city where holidays, political power and decades of secrets intersect. This vacation tradition in Beidaihe contrasts with other luxury destinations like Saint-Tropez, which Chinese leaders refuse. The city remains largely out of the international press spotlight, maintaining a strong character of secrecy. The article suggests that this location serves not only for rest, but also for strategic political meetings among the most powerful figures of the Chinese Communist Party.
