BEIJING, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping topped the second place amongst 50 people in the 5th annual Market Most Influential Ranking that was recently announced by Bloomberg Business.
According to the Bloomberg, the world is waiting for Xi and the Communist Party of China to exhibit their ability to steer the world's second largest economy through turmoil.
The Chinese government responded to the stock market crash by strengthening supervision, curbing leveraging and other risky illegal actions in the market and undertaking market reform, said the report.
Xi was after Federal Reserve Chairwoman of the United States Janet Yellen, the first female head of the Federal Reserve. Apple's CEO Tim Cook ranked the third, with Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett came the fifth and U.S. President Barack Obama the sixth.
Meanwhile, the number of Chinese people got on the list this year marks a record high. Among them were Bao Fan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at China Renaissance (22th); Wang Qishan, the head of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (33rd); and Wang Jianlin, Chairman of Wanda Group (37th). These people signify China's growing influence towards the global markets.
