Xi Jinping

This book examines the policy ideology and politics of Xi Jinping State President and General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Chinaâs âœruler for life. â Through comparisons with former CCP leaders including Deng Xiaoping it assesses whether having abandoned many of the key precepts of the Era of Reform and the Open Door the conservative supreme leaderâs restitution of Maoist standards might enable China to sustain economic growth and project hard and soft power worldwide. The book also examines whether the Communist Party will succeed in retaining the support of 1. 4 billion Chinese in the face of unprecedented challenges in the economic and geopolitical arenas. It also provides a comprehensive picture of Xiâs rise to power; his AI-assisted and âœlegalisticâ surveillance and control mechanisms; Chinaâs evolving economic system; Xiâs foreign and national-security policies and the implications of the 20th Party Congress of October 2022 from both domestic and foreign perspectives. Being among the first books in English on the ambitious and multi-faceted agendas that Xi has laid out taking China up to the early 2040s this will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Chinese studies China-US relations East Asian politics and Contemporary Asian history. .
