From one of the most respected reporters on China today! Party of One: The Rise of Xi Jinping and the Superpower Future of China shatters the many myths and caricatures that shroud one of the world's most secretive political organisations and its leader. A vital new account of the political education of Xi Jinping, the authoritarian leader of China whose hard-edged tactics have set the rising superpower on a collision with Western liberal democracies. Many observers misread Xi's intentions during his early years in power, projecting onto him their own hopes that he would emerge as a liberal-minded reformer who steers China toward more political openness, rule of law, and pro-market economics - and overlooking how he has advanced his career by masking his beliefs under a cloak of strategic ambiguity. Combining narrative drama and incisive analysis, Party of One explains how Xi has shaken up the world's most populous nation with hard-edged authoritarianism, and set this rising superpower on a collision course with Western liberal democracies. Chun Han Wong draws on his years of first-hand reporting across China - spanning conversations with Party insiders and grassroots members, insights from scholars and diplomats who've studied and interacted closely with the Party bureaucracy, as well as analyses of official speeches and documents - to piece together a broad, digestible account of how Xi inspired fear and fervor in his Party, his nation, and beyond. Wong has been a reporter with The Wall Street Journal since 2010. He has chronicled Xi Jinping's campaign to accrue personal power and enforce Party control - from crackdowns on corruption, dissent and independent scholarship, and efforts to enforce the Party's narratives in online spaces, businesses, schools and even private homes. In August 2019, after the Chinese government refused to renew Chun Han's press credentials, he moved to the Journal's bureau in Hong Kong, where he has continued covering Chinese politics.
