Inside The Mind Of Xi Jinping

François Bougon

In this biography of the Chinese premier Xi Jinping, the journalist François Bougon exposes the historical, philosophical, political and personal narratives that Xi has woven together to create a superpower in his own image. For Xi, the task ahead of China is to preserve the ideology of Marxism, while challenging credos such as neoliberalism and constitutional democracy. He believes that China must have total faith in its own brand of socialism blended with Chinese traditions.
