Xi Jinping's China Renaissance: Historical Mission and Great Power Strategy

Xi Jinping's China Renaissance: Historical Mission and Great Power Strategy is about the most important issue in the 21st century of human history as well as the most significant historical event in China's five thousand years.

This book for the first time makes it clear that Xi Jinping's historical missions are: to complete the three leading ideals of Chinese governance - the governance of the Party, nation and the global community; to avoid two pitfalls - the middle-income trap and Thucydides' Trap (where a rising power causes fear in an established power which escalates to war); to achieve a big leap - to jump over from the developing to developed countries and achieve the great renaissance of the Chinese nation.
