Born in Hong Kong but based in Shenzhen,[6] Xie competed in karting across Europe and Asia from 2018 to 2021, though he often did not complete full seasons in Europe.[7] He finished third in the 2020 IAME Asia Cup in the junior class.[8]

Formula Renault

Xie made his car racing debut in the 2022 Formula Renault Super Challenge, driving for H-Star Racing.[9] Entering from the second round onwards, he took pole position and won both races with the fastest lap in his debut round,[10] and did the same again in the final and third round of the championship, taking the overall title, 32 points ahead of nearest rival Jason Wu.[11]

Formula 4

Xie competed in the 2022 F4 Chinese Championship with Smart Life Racing Team. He dominated the opening round at the Ningbo International Circuit, taking a double pole position and winning three of the four races, retiring from the fourth.[9] At the second round, also at Ningbo, he took another double pole and won all four races, with fastest lap in each.[12] After qualifying second behind Andy Chang,[13] he held off Charles Leong to win the opening race of the 2022 Macau Grand Prix (the third round of the championship),[14] and finished second in the main race, sealing the championship title in the process.[15] In the final round of the season at Pingtan Street Circuit, Xie again took double pole position and won all four races with the fastest lap in each,[16] to win the championship by over 160 points, the largest ever title-winning margin in a Chinese F4 season.[17]
