The Third Revolution: Xi Jinping and the New Chinese State
By Elizabeth C. Economy
Why this book?
Those of us who study Chinese history know that the global dominance the West has enjoyed over the last couple of hundred years is a mere blip on the radar to scholars and leaders in China. That’s what makes China so fascinating to me and drives me to write so many novels set there and to teach Daoist arts like tai chi and qigong. China was long known as the Middle Kingdom because it really was the social, cultural, and military center of the world. This author, a well-known scholar, policy expert, and now member of President Biden’s “China Team” sets the stage for how and why Xi Jinping is a serious adversary with his sights set on dominating the world.
