Description

CEO, China: The Rise of Xi Jinping by Kerry Brown is an authoritative biography and political analysis of Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and President of China.

The book explores how Xi consolidated power to become one of modern China’s most powerful leaders. Former diplomat and China scholar Kerry Brown examines:

• Background & Family: Xi’s relationship with his revolutionary father (who was purged under Mao Zedong) and his background as a political “princeling”.

• Political Rise: His progression through regional power struggles and rise within the Communist Party of China (CPC).

• Corporate Structure Analogy: How Xi manages the Chinese Communist Party much like the CEO of a massive global corporation, balancing ideological control, anti-corruption campaigns, and economic strategy.

• Global Ambitions: China’s foreign policy vision, internal political dynamics, and long-term strategic goals under Xi’s leadership.
