| Description: | Select Guide Rating A revealing biography of the man making China his own. Xi Jinping wants to become the world''s most powerful leader. To succeed, he must balance Mao''s Little Red Book with the Analects of Confucius, and more.For Xi, the task ahead of China is to preserve the guiding ideology of Marxism, while challenging mistaken credos like neoliberalism, constitutional democracy, and ''universal values''. China must have total faith in its own brand of socialism, blended meaningfully with Chinese tradition. And this system must revolve around one man--around Xi and ''Xi-ism''.François Bougon''s compelling biography exposes the historical, philosophical, political and personal narratives that Xi has skilfully woven together to create a superpower in his own image. Is Xi''s China a land of ''new market totalitarianism''? Will this be the price of the Chinese dream? |
