The book Xi Jinping: The Governance of China, a great work by President Xi, also General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), fl ows from thoughts, concepts, ideas and practical work that have shaped the vital governance landmarks of China and the strategic insight of the country’s top leadership to the vital issues of global governance.
Xi’s thought, as refl ected in his speeches and written works contained in the two volumes, traverses a range of important topics. These include profound theoretical clarifications and elaborations, practical governance issues of policy making and implementation, key strands of insight on the emerging global architecture and China’s role on the world stage.
Volume I, first published in 2014, is a 515-page tome that offers readers outside China a firsthand understanding of Xi’s thinking on deepening reforms as the strategic driver of the country’s modernization efforts and features an elaborate explanation of the CPC’s core values. This includes discipline, wholehearted devotion to serving the people and maintaining unalloyed fi delity to theoretical innovation and exploration as the lifeblood of the Party, through which it will consistently reinvent itself to remain on top of current issues and even anticipate the future with confidence. Xi has boldly raised the task of reinvigorating China through the pursuit of the Chinese dream.

The second volume continues the clarifications of fundamental issues in the governance of modern China and puts forward clear, fundamental elements of China’s foreign policy and international relations.

The CPC is the main social force and political formation leading modern China, in close collaboration with other noncommunist parties and social forces. In his book, Xi makes it clear that the Party’s work is far from complete, despite universal accolades for its achievements. He writes in Volume I, “Having been pushed ahead for more than 30 years, China’s reform has entered a deep-water zone. It can be said that the easy part of the job has been done to the satisfaction of all. What is left are tough bones that are hard to chew. This requires us to act boldly and progress steadily. To act boldly means to advance reform despite difficulties and be eager to take on challenges, chew tough bones, and wade through dangerous shoals.”
The book disperses the vague interpretative ambiguity that has been the bane of contemporary Western scholars, where China is maliciously depicted as having abandoned the theoretical foundation of Marxism-Leninism, or at best paying lip service to it, while allegedly honing its economic modernization in the context of Western liberalism.
The book sheds light on China’s framework of state governance, which, in the past several decades, has shaped the meteoric development of modern China. It provides fi rsthand information on the original thought and particular China-nuanced policy context that have driven the world’s most astounding reform and modernization efforts.
Xi’s work clarifies this subtly woven ambiguity, which has impaired a clear understanding of the core issues of the governance of modern China. It underscores the foremost theoretical foundation of Marxism-Leninism and the integration of China’s specifi c national conditions, historical context and social reality as the crucial factor driving its trajectory.

Through several elaborations in his book, Xi presents China as a responsible country that will shoulder more responsibility in global governance. However, as is traditional to the People’s Republic of China’s foreign policy since its founding, the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, which are the motivating force of its diplomatic engagement, are consistently enriched to meet the changing international arena.
Xi’s two volumes are an invaluable resource material for vital insight into the governance of China and understanding the critical issues of contemporary China.
It is a foundational work for anyone seeking to understand fi rsthand how modern China works and highly recommended for anyone who wants to gain an insight into the unique nature and structure of governance in modern China.
