The Political Thought of Xi Jinping

Autor Steve Tsang, Olivia Cheung
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 ian 2024
An authoritative examination of "Xi Jinping Thought"--now the official dogma of the Chinese Communist Party--that marshals Xi's personal words and writings to reveal his plan to make "the China Dream of national rejuvenation" a reality in the coming decades.Over the course of the last half dozen years, China's supreme leader Xi Jinping has made extraordinary changes which 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 what "Xi Jinping Thought" is and is not and what it means for both China and the world. Xi, now effectively leader 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 for a quarter century, Xi wants his doctrine to define what he calls the "China Dream of national rejuvenation" and serve the pathway to its fulfilment by 2050. As Xi conceives it, the China Dream is about making China great again, or restoring China to the height of its power, influence, and international standing in the mythical era of grandeur in its long imperial history. Drawing from original research 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 essential reading for anyone interested in where China might be headed in coming years.

Recenzii

This is the first book-length study that not only offers a clear, systematic, and comprehensive reading of Xi Jinping's political thought, but further links it to the key policy initiatives that have shaped his tenure. Tsang and Cheung offer an impressively clear and comprehensive map of contemporary Chinese politics and is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand what China's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong actually thinks, and why.
While many authors attempt to explain the nature of Xi Jinping's ideas and power, few if any do so better than Tsang and Cheung. By looking carefully at his actual words and policies through a careful reading of numerous Chinese-language sources, they provide an indispensable guide to understanding how Xi's thought is transforming rule in China.
A vivid and persuasive close reading of the words of CCP leader Xi Jinping which brilliantly clarifies Xi's ambitions for himself and the PRC. A marvelous analysis.
This book is not a simple introduction to Xi Jinping's political thought, it brings to life of Xi's vision and ambition for China's totalitarian system and big power aspiration. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand China's totalitarian turn internally and increasingly assertive international behavior in Xi Jinping's new era.
Tsang and Cheung make a very timely and valuable contribution to the study of contemporary China, with a solid and comprehensive analysis of 'Xi Jinping Thought' and also a masterful demonstration of how to read and translate Beijing's dogmata.
Tsang and Cheung have delivered this year's must-read China book. In clear and concise prose, they demystify 'Xi Jinping thought' -providing a road map for understanding Xi's thinking, how that thinking becomes policy, and why some Xi-directed policies succeed while others fall short. A fascinating account of one of the most important and least well-understood aspects of China today.
[The Political Thought of Xi Jinping] will appeal to readers interested in current-day China, especially Chinese political philosophy.
An eye-opening new book on what [Xi Jinping] really wants and how he intends to get it.
This book is the most surefooted guide you will find to the mind-numbing and at times faintly comical language in which the CCP clothes its ideology and actions....For as long as Xi is in power this book will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the aims of the CCP.
Writ[ten] with great authority ... an important analysis.
Insightful.
A probing new book ... it dissects what must have a claim to be the most important yet least understood political philosophy of our age ... patient scholarship is deployed to slash through a jungle of jargon and impenetrable doublespeak until shafts of light shine through.
A piercing -and concerning -analysis of the PRC's trajectory and its implications for the rest of the world. It should be required reading for anyone with an interest in contemporary China.
Concise and important.
In this groundbreaking and cogent book, Tsang and Cheung (both, Univ. of London) explain what the political thought of Xi Jinping is and what its future might be in Chinese politics ... An excellent analysis of Xi's thinking, the China Dream, and the implications for China and the world.
Tsang and Cheung have given all China-watchers a mass of valuable evidence.
It ought to be required reading for anyone responsible for analysing and reporting on China and high priority reading for anyone seeking to develop or maintain a responsible and informed opinion about where China is heading and what Xi's vision is for China and the world.
Essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the underpinnings of Xi's actions, or to make an informed guess at his next moves.
In this groundbreaking and cogent book, Tsang and Cheung (both, Univ. of London) explain what the political thought of Xi Jinping is and what its future might be in Chinese politics... It has effectively put Xi, the Party, and the country in three concentric circles, with Xi at the core, making them one and the same. An excellent analysis of Xi's thinking, the China Dream, and the implications for China and the world. Highly recommended.
This is a book of intense academic rigour, drawing on a vast array of original language sources, and gives compelling insights into how the CCP has changed under Xi and where this may lead...it should be required reading for those on HMG's post-beginner China capability courses and for those who undertake China's role in wargames.
Steve Tsang and Olivia Cheung analyze available speeches and contributions by Xi Jinping for their measurement of the political thought of the Chinese President and General Secretary of the Communist Party of China: Thus, in addition to the Chinese social contract, the cult of personality and the development of a party-centered nationalism by Xi, the presented study also deals with economic errors of Xi's thinking, which is based on Confucianism, Maoism and Leninism. Rainer Lisowski reviewed the book for us.
