Xi Jinping: The Backlash

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A look at how Xi Jinping rapidly made himself the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao Zedong, and how in turn his authoritarian ways have sparked a backlash against him at home and abroad, from the Lowy Institute.

Xi Jinping: The Backlash explores Xi Jinping's transformation of China, both internally and on the international stage, with a speed and aggression that few anticipated when he rose to power in 2012. Now, he faces resistance. Domestically, disgruntled officials and disillusioned technocrats pose challenges, while internationally, a coalition of Western nations appears poised to counter China's geopolitical and technological expansion.

With tensions heightened between the United States and China, Richard McGregor delves into how the global landscape has evolved, creating a world seemingly divided in two.
