Event Details
Much has happened during Xi Jinping's administration since he took office. Kerry Brown, author of The New Emperors, has looked into this leader and his leadership and will speak on his upcoming publication on Xi Jinping entitled China's CEO: Xi Jinping.
Brown's yet-to-be published book looks at the issue of where, institutionally and in terms of people, power is located in the modern Chinese party-state system. It includes an outline of Xi's career, from his upbringing in Beijing to his time in rural China during the Cultural Revolution, and his provincial career in Fujian, Zhejiang and Shanghai to his final appointment as a national leader in 2007. The book then looks at the sorts of political and economic programmes that have been prosecuted since 2012 under Xi's leadership, what sort of vision of the world he has articulated, and where China might be heading in the next decade or so under his leadership.
