Xi is head of state as president, but not head of government (like King of England).

Li Qiang is head of government as premier and is chief executive of the Chinese government.

If you ask a Chinese citizen what their biggest problem is, many of them would say too much federalism. Individual provinces have more individual authority than even US States and most controversial policies (1 child, social credit, lockdowns) you hear about are provincial and not federal policies.
