I checked gov.cn, and see it using "Mr. Xi" and "President". For example: https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/wjdt_665385/zyjh_665391/t11...

But maybe I'm not really understand your point. Are you saying there is another English word that would better describe Xi than President, or that English should add one? Are you thinking "President" is insufficient to capture his power, and something like "Dictator" would be better? That has such negative consolidations that I would be hesitant to use it.

But yeah, its not a big point to squabble over.
