Its manufacturing underpins the world's economy; its military is growing at the fastest rate of any nation and its leader--Zi Jinping--is to set the pace an and tone of world affairs for decades. In 2017 Xi Jinping became part of the constitution--an honour not seen since Chairman Mao.

In this captivating book we discover Xi's beliefs, how he thinks about communism, and how far he is willing to go to defend it"--Back cover.
