In On Xi Jinping, former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd provides an authoritative account of the ideological worldview driving Chinese behaviour both domestically and on the world stage—that of President Xi Jinping, who now holds near-total control over the Chinese Communist Party and is now, in effect, president-for-life. Rudd argues that Xi’s worldview differs significantly from those of the leaders who preceded him, and that this ideological shift is reflected in the real world of Chinese policy and behaviour.

Over the course of the last half dozen years, China's supreme leader Xi Jinping has made extraordinary changes which have profound implications not only for the Chinese people but nations throughout the world.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China over seventy years ago, five paramount leaders have shaped the fates and fortunes of the nation and the ruling Chinese Communist Party: Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping. Under their leaderships, China has undergone an extraordinary transformation from an undeveloped and insular country to a comprehensive world power. In this definitive study, renowned Sinologist David Shambaugh offers a refreshing account of China's dramatic post-revolutionary history through the prism of those who ruled it.

Once described by Mao Zedong as a "needle inside a ball of cotton", Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China's radical transformation in the late 20th century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao's cult of personality, and loosened the policies that had stunted China's growth. Obsessed with modernization, Deng opened trade relations with the West, which lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. Yet he also answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in 1989 at Tiananmen Square.

Chinas viertausendjährige Geschichte ist reich an Kultur, Wissenschaft und Philosophie. Die älteste der großen Weltzivilisationen brachte schon früh eine eigene Schrift hervor. Seit 2000 v. Chr. wurde China von bedeutenden Dynastien regiert, vergleichbar mit europäischen Königshäusern. Die Epoche der großen Dynastien endete 1912 mit der Abdankung des letzten chinesischen Kaisers. Im Jahre 1842 erlangte Großbritannien nach den „Opiumkriegen“ die Kontrolle über Hongkong und die imperialen Großmächte Europas beuteten die Region gezielt aus. China erlebte ein schweres 19. Jahrhundert, welches als Trauma in die chinesische Geschichte einging.
