The book starts with a "comparative study of communist theory" and explores the causes of the Xi Jinping phenomenon from four major perspectives: the leader's personality, centralization of power (historical positioning, party-state relations, party discipline enforcement, central-local relations), domestic power expansion (economic development and social control), and external expansion (international trade, international politics, and Taiwan policy). In total, there are thirteen chapters, offering a comprehensive review of China's policies under Xi Jinping's ten years in power.
