The Political Thought of Xi Jinping Tsang, Steve (Professor of China Studies and Director of the China Institute, Professor of China Studies and Director of the China Institute, SOAS China Institute)

In The Political Thought of Xi Jinping, Steve Tsang and Olivia Cheung provide an authoritative overview of what "Xi Jinping Thought" is and is not and what it means for both China and the world. Xi Jinping intends to stay the leader of China for life and is working to make "Xi Jinping Thought" China's new state ideology, something that will define what he calls the China Dream of national rejuvenation and the pathway to its fulfilment by 2050. Drawing fromoriginal research of Xi's speeches, writings, and policies, the authors conceptualize Xi's vision independently from interpretations provided by the Chinese Communist Party or other sources. They further show how Xi seeks to transform this vision into reality.
