Xi Jinping's New Model of Development for China in the 21st Century Deconstructed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789769740419)

This work is a deconstruction of Xi Jinping's discourse of the new development model for China in the new era/ new normal of the post 2008 21st century going forward. This new development model, made necessary by the post 2008 condition of the Chinese economy; its evolutionary path coupled to an increasingly hostile geopolitical environment arising from North Atlantic attempts to stymie China's path to modernisation. Xi Jinping's development model is hinged on three signposts which will indicate the success or failure of the development model: attaining moderate prosperity for all in all respects by 2020, attaining the Chinese Dream of complete modernisation by 2049 and common prosperity for all by 2049. This development model puts in place the philosophy and methodology to create a modernised China which presents an alternate model of development to that of the hegemonic white world order of neo-liberal imperialist power for the first time in the history of the world since 1492. A beacon of hope to the Global South!
