The Political Thought of Xi Jinping

Join us for an insightful conversation as Rowan Callick interviews Steve Tsang on his latest book, The Political Thought of Xi Jinping, co-authored with Olivia Cheung. This event will delve into the profound influence of Xi’s “Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” on China’s political, economic, and social landscape, and on its heightened global ambition. Xi’s Thought, the first such formulation since Mao Zedong to be elevated to such a high status, has taken a central place in Chinese education, its study also required by decision makers at every level. Xi’s intense focus on ideology, encapsulated in his Thought, has far-reaching implications for China and the world, shaping the nation's aspirations toward the "China Dream of national rejuvenation" by 2050.
