Xi Jinping's China

'Xi Jinping's China' offers a comprehensive analysis of how China's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong has fundamentally reshaped both the nation's domestic landscape and its global role. The book expertly weaves together three crucial themes: Xi's distinctive authoritarian leadership style, China's economic transformation, and Beijing's increasingly assertive international presence, collectively defining what Chinese officials term the 'New Era.'
Through meticulous research drawing from government documents, economic data, and insider accounts, the book traces Xi's remarkable journey from provincial governor to 'core leader.' It reveals how he has consolidated power through anti-corruption campaigns and institutional reforms while pursuing a unique model of authoritarian state capitalism. The work particularly emphasizes Xi's break from his predecessors' collective leadership approach, highlighting his combination of Communist Party ideology with nationalist aspirations.
The book's three-part structure progressively examines Xi's domestic governance, China's economic evolution (including signature initiatives like Made in China 2025 and the Belt and Road Initiative), and its changing international relations. Rather than making simple predictions, it provides readers with analytical frameworks to understand China's complex transformation and its implications for the global order. This balanced approach, incorporating multiple perspectives from state media to international observers, makes it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to comprehend China's trajectory in the 21st century.
