This book tells a story of a complex political relation between two powerful neighbours – India and China – while also offering a first hand account of the author’s experiences of the country. It covers a wide range of subjects from President Xi Jinping’s leadership style to expansionist strategy, the government’s tight control on the media and historical narratives, its economic prowess, internal conflicts and its growing dominance in the Indo-Pacific region. The book comes at a time when the standoff between India and China in Eastern Ladakh has hit a stalemate, making it even more relevant.
