Description
Xi Jinping: Understanding the World's Most Powerful Leader Xi Jinping, the Chinese premier, is a figure shrouded in mystery, despite his regular appearances on television and in news headlines. Historian and writer Michael Dillon sets out to unveil the character of Xi Jinping, revealing the complexities of his rise to power and his hold on China. From his childhood, shaped by the Cultural Revolution, to his mission to eradicate poverty and his persecution of Uyghur Muslims, Xi Jinping's story is one of intrigue and paradox. Dillon's book provides a concise and essential primer on Xi Jinping, exploring what he wants and how the West often gets him wrong. But this is not just a biography - it's also a examination of the implications of Xi's leadership for the world at large.
