Xi Jinping On The Global Stage: Chinese Foreign Policy Under A Powerful But Exposed Leader (Council Special Report)

Xi Jinping is the most powerful Chinese leader since Deng Xiaoping, and with his sweeping actions and ambitious directives he has fundamentally altered the process by which China's domestic and foreign policy is formulated and implemented. Xi's popular anticorruption campaign has cowed senior party and military officials and allowed him to amass dominating power in a short span of time. With this transcending authority, Xi has ended China's carefully evolved collective and consensual leadership structure, marginalized the bureaucracy, and put himself at the center of decision-making on all consequential matters. This report discusses Xi's transformation of China's domestic politics, his background and beliefs, the challenges he faces from China's slowing economy, and the implications of his foreign policy for the United States--Introduction.
