The first published work by a sitting Chinese President, Xi Jinping: The Governance of China offers a unique look inside the Communist Party of China and its vision for the future. Under the leadership of Xi Jinping the Communist Party of China has set off in a new direction of reform and modernisation. The Governance of China is a compilation of President Xi's major writings from November 15, 2012 to June 13, 2014. It offers new insights into the inner workings and current thinking of CPC policy and theory as well and of Xi Jinping himself. The book presents excerpts and summaries of 79 speeches, talks, interviews, instructions, and correspondences in 18 chapters. Each item is accompanied by relevant notes about China's social system, history, and culture.  The Governance of China contributes greatly to the concepts and principles of governance within the CPC leadership, China's future path of development, and the nation's domestic and foreign policies, as well as responses to international concerns about China.
