ReviewsXi Jinping, China, and the United States is a uniquely comprehensive and meticulously documented biography of the world's most powerful national leader, China's Xi Jinping. Drawing on a remarkable range of foreign reporting and analysis, Dr. Wang has brought together in one volume real-time interpretations of Xi's formation as a youth, rise in the Party, political machinations, foreign policies, and relationships with U.S. Presidents Obama, Trump, and Biden. This is required reading for students of contemporary China and its foreign relations., Identifying the key elements shaping a leader's foreign and domestic behavior is tricky. This is especially so in the case of China's Xi Jinping. Are early childhood and adolescent experiences key in explaining Xi's increasingly assertive domestic and foreign policy stance? Policy objectives? Or, naked personal power interests? Has the mix of considerations changed over time as Xi has moved from trying to survive as a subordinate, to competing for supreme power as a rising party member, to maintaining and enhancing power once achieved? Professor Wang Chi's masterful Xi Jinping, China, and the United States cautions analysts never to underestimate the role of self-interest., "Identifying the key elements shaping a leader's foreign and domestic behavior is tricky.

SynopsisAs Xi Jinping begins his historic third term in office, many will try to understand Xi as both person and leader. This book examines Xi's life and career with special emphasis on the West's changing perception of Xi and the important relationship between the United States and Xi's China., As Xi Jinping begins his historic third term in office, many will try to understand Xi as both person and leader. This book examines Xi Jinping from his childhood during China's Cultural Revolution all the way through his second term as China's paramount leader. The author analyzes not only Xi Jinping's life and leadership but also Western perceptions, assessments, and interpretations of Xi and how this has affected China's dynamic relationship with the West. It will trace how early and mostly optimistic expectations gave way first to denial or attempts to explain away his consolidation of power and then reshaped into the assessment of a new China under a powerful Xi. The book gives special attention to the vital US-China relationship and the dynamics between Xi and the US leadership.
