There is an occupational hazard for anyone who chooses to write about Chinese politics in the second decade of the 21st century," admits Professor Kerry Brown of King's College, London, in his dazzlingly detailed new book, CEO, China: The Rise of Xi Jinping. "We may live in an age of openness and information, but the inner workings of the Chinese political system ... remain one of the few bastions of opacity." More presumptive "experts" should follow Brown's lead and humbly offer their "expertise" with modesty. Few do., CEO China: The Rise of Xi Jinping. That is the new and excellent book by Kerry Brown. Almost all books on China are either bad or mediocre, but this one is the best book I ever have read on the exercise of power in contemporary China. Every page is good, here is a short excerpt: 'More important than a cabinet in the Western system of government, yet ostensibly separate from day-to-day decision making, the Politburo owns the crucial function of dispensing ideological, spiritual and political leadership. This description means it covers nothing and everything. It has the broadest framework within which to operate, which means it can wander into every area of administrative and governmental life in the country. But like the ideal city described in Plato's Republic, in a strange way China is really run on the model of philosopher kings.' Definitely recommended, one of my favorite non-fiction books of the year so far. I can readily imagine re-reading it., Xi Jinping, president of China, is now undoubtedly one of the most powerful men in the world. This is the first biography of Xi in English and provides a lucid and readable account of his background, rise to power and political background.

Synopsis
China has become the powerhouse of the world economy, its incredible boom overseen by the elite members of the secretive and all-powerful communist party. But since the election of Xi Jinping as General Secretary, life at the top in China has changed. Under the guise of a corruption crackdown, which has seen his rivals imprisoned, Xi Jinping has been quietly building one of the most powerful leaderships modern China has ever seen. In CEO China, the noted China expert Kerry Brown reveals the hidden story of the rise of the man dubbed the 'Chinese Godfather'. Brown investigates his relationship with his revolutionary father, who was expelled by Mao during the Cultural Revolution, his business dealings and allegiances in China's regional power struggles and his role in the internal battle raging between the old men of the Deng era and the new super-rich 'princelings'. Xi Jinping's China is powerful, aggressive and single-minded and this book will become a must-read for the Western world.
