Omschrijving
In an age where democratic norms are eroding and global power is shifting, one man stands at the heart of the world's most ambitious authoritarian revival—Xi Jinping. From political exile to absolute ruler, from the shadow of Mao to the helm of the world's second-largest economy, Xi has forged a dynasty of control, surveillance, and calculated ambition.
The Dragon Reborn: Xi Jinping and China's New Dynasty is a riveting exploration of how a single figure has come to dominate the modern Chinese landscape, not just politically, but also ideologically and globally. This book traces Xi's journey from his early life as a disgraced princeling to his rise through the ranks of the Chinese Communist Party. It uncovers the legacy of his father, the purges of the Cultural Revolution, and the trauma that shaped his iron-willed determination never again to be vulnerable.
Step by step, the narrative unfolds the mechanisms of power that have enabled Xi to ascend to a level of dominance unseen since Mao. We explore the restructuring of the Chinese military, the tightening grip on internet freedom, the digital surveillance systems blanketing the nation, and the ideological campaign that has elevated Xi Jinping Thought to state scripture. His elimination of rivals, revival of Maoist loyalty, and systematic dismantling of collective leadership have turned the Party into a tool of personal rule.
But The Dragon Reborn is more than just a political biography. It is an examination of how Xi's domestic agenda—suppression of dissent, reeducation camps in Xinjiang, aggressive nationalism—is tightly bound to China's foreign policy. The militarization of the South China Sea, economic coercion of neighboring countries, and strategic alliances with Russia and the Global South reflect a new world order taking shape—one where Beijing, not Washington, holds the reins.
Through 25 deeply researched chapters, this book offers a panoramic view of China under Xi: from economic transformation to ideological conformity, from the promise of reform to the tightening of control. It charts not only Xi's rise, but also the systemic vulnerabilities that come with such total centralization of power—economic slowdowns, demographic crises, global backlash, and a growing silence that masks underlying instability.
For readers of political history, global affairs, and authoritarian studies, The Dragon Reborn is both timely and timeless. It invites readers to confront the most important question of our era: what happens when a modern empire is shaped entirely in the image of one man?
This is the definitive account of Xi Jinping's China.
And the story has only just begun.
