China Entering The Xi Jinping Era (China Policy Series)

How will China develop under the new leadership of Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang? This is a key question for both China and the wider world. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the key areas and issues within China, assessing how things are likely to develop under the new leadership. It considers the economy, trade, politics, demographics; appraises the leadership, both at the national and provincial levels; and discusses potential flashpoints in China's relationship with its neighbours. The book emphasises the great uncertainty surrounding the next phase of China's development, highlighting the deep social cleavages which exist over issues such as income disparity, rampant corruption and unequal opportunities in social mobility, and arguing that the political purge of Bo Xilai in the period leading up to the most recent party congress has not been resolved, with many of the polices, practices and rhetoric of the discredited Bo Xilai model continuing to exert a strong influence.
