Xi's move to head up the new Central Internet Security and Informatization Leading Group comes amid increasing tensions between the United States and China over concerns about cyber-intrusions carried out by both governments. It also takes place on the heels of a crackdown by Chinese authorities on online dissent that has resulted in the arrest and suppression of numerous bloggers.
