In this revised paperback edition of The Third Revolution, esteemed China scholar Elizabeth C. Economy delves into the profound transformations underway in China today. Under the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping, a series of transformative measures have been implemented, including the centralization of power within Xi himself, the expansion of the Communist Party's influence in Chinese political, social, and economic realms, and the establishment of a virtual regulatory wall to tightly control the exchange of ideas and capital between China and the outside world.

Through a comprehensive examination of Xi Jinping's key political, economic, and foreign policy objectives, including the fight against corruption, Internet management, state-owned enterprise sector reform, innovation capacity enhancement, air quality improvement, and elevating China's global stature, Economy identifies the tensions, challenges, and accomplishments of Xi's reform efforts throughout his tenure in office. She also assesses the broader implications of these reforms for the world and offers recommendations for how the United States and other nations should navigate their relationships with this vast nation in the years to come.

This updated edition includes new material on China's response to the rise of President Trump and his economic nationalist policies.
