The Red Emperor. Xi Jinping and His New China
Hurry! Only 0 Left in Stock!
This book will overturn your view of China and its leader. Drawing on two decades of work as a reporter in Hong Kong, Michael Sheridan portrays Xi Jinping not merely as a ruler, but as the heir to a “red dynasty,” raised in a world of terror, punishment, and betrayal. The author explains how specific events, Stalinist doctrines, and ancient Chinese texts shaped Xi’s worldview and his distrust of the world.
The book reveals the mechanisms of the party-state, which keeps the army, the economy, and people’s thoughts under total control. Through clan secrets, the party’s “anti-corruption” purges, the disappearances of ministers and generals, sex scandals, and a sea of killings, it presents an image of an empire of fear, where one person’s word is law for everyone. This is a story of power, control, and a carefully constructed illusion of stability. A masterful analysis of how a modern neo-emperor emerged from the ruins of revolution.
