Introduction : The "Chinese dream" --
The renaissance man --
The "anti-Gorbachev" --
Son of the Yellow Earth --
The Maoist national myth --
The heroic father --
Back to the classics --
Comrade Confucius --
Culture wars --
Shedding the low profile --
"Xi-ism."
Xi Jinping wants to become the world's most powerful leader. To succeed, he must balance Mao's Little Red Book with the Analects of Confucius, and more. For Xi, the task ahead of China is to preserve the guiding ideology of Marxism, while challenging mistaken credos like neoliberalism, constitutional democracy, and 'universal values'. China must have total faith in its own brand of socialism, blended meaningfully with Chinese tradition. François Bougon's compelling biography exposes the historical, philosophical, political and personal narratives that Xi has skillfully woven together to create a superpower in his own image. Is Xi's China a land of 'new market totalitarianism'? Will this be the price of the Chinese dream?
