Zhao Leji on Family

Zhao Leji's documented positions or explicit statements concerning the concept of 'Family' are sparse in the available public record, suggesting it is not a central theme of his political discourse. However, his actions demonstrate adherence to formal protocol regarding family matters within the political elite. Specifically, he has been documented participating in acts of respect and sympathy toward the families of deceased high-ranking officials. For instance, in December 2025, Zhao Leji was photographed shaking hands with a family member of the late Peng Peiyun to express deep condolences following her cremation, an act that also involved other top leaders. Similarly, in another event, he met with the family members of a late senior legislator prior to a commemoration symposium.

These public appearances suggest that while Zhao Leji maintains a formal, respectful stance toward the family unit in the context of official mourning and condolences for colleagues, there is no readily available evidence detailing his stance on broader social or policy issues related to the structure or support of the average family. His documented public engagements emphasize his role within the Party's hierarchical structure and his observance of traditional rites for political figures.
