On Xi Jinping: How Xi's Marxist Nationalism Is Shaping China and the World

Categories: Politics & Social Sciences

Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, a fluent Mandarin speaker and longtime China watcher, analyzes the ideology that drives Xi Jinping. Rudd argues that Xi has moved China to the left in politics and economics and to the right in nationalism, a shift he calls Marxist nationalism. Drawing on Chinese Communist Party texts, he explains how this worldview shapes Beijing's domestic policies and foreign relations, and what it means for the United States and the rest of the world.
