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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Political Thought of Xi Jinping\u003c\/em\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteve Tsang \u003c\/strong\u003eis Director of the China Institute at SOAS University of London.
