Xi Jinping: The Governance of China I

Great book.

This is more a series of articles than a complete book. The speeches/articles here were mostly likely written by Xi's speechwriters.The content was mostly designed for those long, dry communist meetings that the Chinese Communist Party loves so much.Most of it is basically Xi self-righteously praising the Party he is the leader of. Now that he has abolished terms in China, he needs to try and build a cult of personality to survive. The problem is, he has no personality. He's a dull and dishonest man, as this book shows.

It’s hard to believe some of the positive reviews given. I would suggest to those in the U.K. who have given such a review - go and spend some time in China.I lived there for 10 years. My children were born there and my wife is as fluent as a native. The Chinese people deserve better than this. Their leaders and government are taking China on a path of destruction and this book is a mouthpiece of misguided dogma that will propagate their destruction. Xi’s supposed wisdom reminds me of the wisdom of King Cnut. No matter how much you will the tide not to come in - it will.We can not defy natural law or economics - none of us on this planet are superhuman. We all share our common destiny. Lying and covering up our failings in handling pandemics, lying about the origins and birth rights of a nation, defying the basics laws of capitalism whilst shamefully claiming to be communist. President Xi - your game of Global Jenga is about to fall in on you - the tide is coming in. You are not a superhero and your pious dogma and untruths will simply lead to more pious dogma and untruths that eventually can’t mask the extent of your failings.I sincerely hope that - like almost happened recently - your system of lies doesn’t spill over and destroy the Free World. I hope that you don’t attempt to cover up the impending economic collapse of China with an aggressive military excursion into the territory of your free neighbours.The truth will always shine through eventually. Your lies will unwind.To the pragmatic amongst you - study the history of previous nationalistic regimes if you want to see where this will go. Ask yourself - if I lived in 1930s Europe and I had the benefit of 20/20 hindsight - would I have bought a German car?Every penny you spend is a vote for the World you want to live in. If you stupid and naive enough to believe that this is the future - keep buying Chinese goods and keep reading this nonsense.If you believe in humanity being free and eventually finding a collective free destiny for us all - then spend your money in places that also think that way. And don’t be naive enough to believe in ‘net zero’. There is no net zero - Greta is right. There is only ‘absolute zero’. It simply doesn’t matter how little carbon you use within the borders of your own country. You MUST consider what you export to others. You should not test easy in your bed if you are buying from a country that is massively expanding the of it’s coal fired power stations. Net zero means nothing.Free Tibet, free Hong Kong, free Western China and more over - free the Chinese people from their evil overloads.

Really a terrible book from a terrible dictator- avoid this tosh.

Free Tibet, free east Turkistan (Xingjang), free Hong Kong, free inner Mongolia & Taiwan is a free, independent and democratic country

Do you like free speech? Do you dislike censorship? Do you think the ministry of truth is a.bad place? I know I do.

I would not recommend this. It is communist propaganda. Better to read on Amazon one of the biographies if you are interested in finding out more about him.

Don't bother
