'Kerry Brown's Xi is the perfect primer for understanding Xi
Jinping's status as China's greatest ruler since Mao and as this
century's least assailable statesman' John Keay, author of China: A
History 'A valuable primer for anyone looking to get up to speed on
Xi Jinping's rise to global power' Jeff Wasserstrom, Guardian
'Offers a nuanced and thorough explanation of Xi's China and why
the Communist Party, for all its flaws, has long life in it' Oliver
Farry, Irish Times Although Xi Jinping came to power a decade ago,
he remains an enigmatic figure in the West. His priority has always
been to keep Chinese society as stable as possible, steering a
course through a period of astounding economic growth, while
ensuring that nothing challenges the political status quo. But with
unrest stirring in Hong Kong, reports of human rights abuses taking
place in the Xinjiang region and, devastatingly, the outbreak of a
virus that would change the world, suddenly understanding Xi's
China is more important than ever before. In this short and timely
book, academic and author Kerry Brown examines the complexities
behind the man, explaining the impact that his rule is already
having on the West. But who is Xi really, and what is his vision
for China's future? And, crucially, what does that mean for the
rest of the world?
