Furthermore, the book explores whether the Communist Party can retain the support of 1.4 billion Chinese citizens amidst unprecedented challenges in the economic and geopolitical realms. It provides a detailed account of Xi's rise to power, his AI-assisted surveillance and control mechanisms, China's evolving economic system, his foreign and national-security policies, and the implications of the 20th Party Congress, held in October 2022, from both domestic and foreign perspectives. As one of the first books in English to comprehensively examine Xi's ambitious agendas for China until the early 2040s, this resource is invaluable for students and scholars of Chinese studies, China-US relations, East Asian politics, and Contemporary Asian history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032301372\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Willy Lam","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44528853942522,"sku":"9781032301372","price":141.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692379429567_book.jpg?v=1693481695","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/xi-jinping-the-hidden-agendas-of-chinas-ruler-for-life-9781032301372","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
