CEO, China: The Rise of Xi Jinping

Autor Professor Kerry Brown
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iul 2023
Xi Jinping's China is powerful, aggressive and single-minded and this book will become a must-read for the Western world.

China has become the powerhouse of the world economy, its incredible boom overseen by the elite members of the secretive and all-powerful communist party. But since the election of Xi Jinping as General Secretary, life at the top in China has changed. Under the guise of a corruption crackdown, which has seen his rivals imprisoned, Xi Jinping has been quietly building one of the most powerful leaderships modern China has ever seen. In CEO China, the noted China expert Kerry Brown reveals the hidden story of the rise of the man dubbed the 'Chinese Godfather'. Brown investigates his relationship with his revolutionary father, who was expelled by Mao during the Cultural Revolution, his business dealings and allegiances in China's regional power struggles and his role in the internal battle raging between the old men of the Deng era and the new super-rich 'princelings'. Xi Jinping's China is powerful, aggressive and single-minded and this book will become a must-read for the Western world.

Recenzii

One of our most perceptive and accurate foreign observers of China
Xi Jinping, president of China, is now undoubtedly one of the most powerful men in the world. This is the first biography of Xi in English and provides a lucid and readable account of his background, rise to power and political background.
Dazzlingly detailed
...this one is the best book I ever have read on the exercise of power in contemporary China.
Xi is determined to reshape China and bring it into the centre of the international stage. We all feel these profound changes, but few of us have the ability to step back, put Xi in perspective, analyse his rise, and guess where Xi will take us. Kerry Brown has it, and he delivers. This book provides an excellent account of Xi's rise, his visions, his determination, and the future he is making for China and for the world. All who are interested in China and its global role should read it.'
One of the most useful studies available of how power works in today's China. I doubt any other writer provides as many insights into how a closed system makes decisions and allocates authority.
...a thoughtful and thought-provoking study of China's current leader. A fascinating glimpse into the workings of the Chinese leadership.
