摘要 The high-level domestic travels of central leaders serve as a platform for conveying political messages and spotlighting regions and policies of interest. However, there is a gap in the research that examines how these visits reflect networks among leaders. In this article, we underscore the significance of network analysis in scrutinizing the inspection tours of Chinese leaders. We posit that as China’s paramount leader Xi Jinping consolidates his power, his network naturally contracts due to institutional constraints. Utilizing various network analysis tools, we find that Xi Jinping’s inspection network has reduced in size since his first term. An examination of the network positions of individual officials in Xi’s inspection network indicates that those occupying pivotal network positions also hold key posts in the Party. Furthermore, we observe that a cadre’s importance in this network significantly influences their political advancement, and this has notably intensified throughout Xi’s second term with respect to promotion to the Politburo. This suggests that Xi might have been more inclined or better equipped to bring along his trusted associates on local visits later in his tenure. This article both presents empirical evidence to illustrate how Xi’s network has become smaller and more isolated and contributes to our understanding of the highest levels of Chinese politics.
