With the theme "China Dreams: Opportunities and Challenges," this book contributes to emerging debates on Chinese new leadership's adaptability to important political, economic, social, and global issues. Can China's political system sustain "China Dreams", a slogan ushered by Chinese President Xi Jinpin? Does the fulfillment of "China Dreams" require political reform? Does the initiation of the agenda of "China Dreams" facilitate China's economic transition? To what extent does "China Dreams" pave the way for China's peaceful rise? By exploring the preceding questions, the essays by Lowell Dittmer, Thomas Gold, Victoria Tin-bor Hui, Chin-fu Hung, Scott L Kastner, Huey-Lin Lee & Scott Y Lin, Chih-shian Liou, Raviprasad Narayanan, Kellee S Tsai, and Chung-min Tsai provide a comprehensive analysis of the agenda of China's new leadership.
