Over the course of a decade, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has implemented extraordinary changes in China that have profound implications not only for the Chinese people but nations throughout the world. Given how swiftly and fundamentally China's relations with the rest of the world are changing under Xi's rule, it is imperative that we know what “Xi Jinping Thought” is, how it evolved, and why it is so important.In The Political Thought of Xi Jinping, Steve Tsang and Olivia Cheung provide an authoritative overview of Xi Jinping Thought, explaining what it is, what it is not, and what it means for both China and the world. Xi, now effectively the leader of China for life, has worked to ensure that Xi Jinping Thought becomes cemented as the new state ideology. Clearly inspired by the doctrine of Mao Zedong Thought, which shaped the parameters of acceptable thinking during Mao's quarter-century reign, Xi wants his doctrine to define what he calls the “China Dream of national rejuvenation” and serve as the pathway to its fulfillment by 2050. As Xi conceives it, the China Dream is about making China great again-restoring China to the height of its power, influence, and international standing in the mythical era of grandeur-the long centuries before the “century of humiliation” that began in the mid-nineteenth century. Drawing from close analyses of Xi's speeches, writings, and policies, Tsang and Cheung conceptualize Xi's vision independently from interpretations provided by the Chinese Communist Party or other sources. They further examine and explain how Xi seeks to transform this vision into reality. An authoritative analysis of the leader-driven ideological revolution that is currently transforming China, this book will be necessary reading for anyone interested in where China might be headed in coming years.

[A] clearly written, crisply executed study of the latest official ideology in China... an excellent study. It sets out accessibly, clearly, and authoritatively an answer to the question of what at least the top-most leaders and the leader right at the heart of this group, Xi Jinping, want the world to think they believe.
