    NEWSBloomberg Xi Jinping Millionaire Relations Reveal Elite Chinese Fortunes By Bloomberg News June 29, 2012 – Xi Jinping, the man in line to be China’s next president, warned officials on a 2004 anti-graft conference call: “Rein in your spouses, children, relatives, friends and staff, and vow not to use power for personal gain.” As Xi climbed the Communist Party ranks, his extended family expanded their business interests to include minerals, real estate and mobile-phone equipment, according to public documents compiled by Bloomberg. Those interests include investments in companies with total assets of $376 million; an 18 percent indirect stake in a rare- earths company with $1.73 billion in assets; and a $20.2 million holding in a Xi Jinping, vice president of China, visits the China Shipping terminal at the Port of Los Angeles in Los Angeles, California, U.S., on publicly traded technology company.

As someone who grew up in a remarkably small rural town, my early intellectual development owes largely to my blissful ignorance of the astonishing labors and successes of my phenomenal parents, James and Denise Brosius. They have provided me their endless support, a place to grow, and, perhaps most importantly, grounded me from becoming hopelessly detached. Were it not for their support, I understand rather strongly what other options awaited me. My primary mentors during the course of this paper ultimately changed over time due to my own problems – something I hope dearly to have addressed.

  • Downloaded by [New York University] at 22:32 06 August 2016 Chinese Politics in the Era of Xi Jinping
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 22:32 06 August 2016 Chinese Politics in the Era of Xi Jinping Renowned for his coverage of China’s elite politics and leadership transitions, veteran Sinologist Willy Lam has produced the first book-length study in English of the rise of Xi Jinping—State President and General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). With rare insight, Lam describes Xi’s personal history and his fascination with quasi-Maoist values, the factional politics through which he ascended, the configuration of power of the Fifth-Generation leadership, and the future directions of domestic and foreign policy under the charismatic “princeling.” Despite an undistinguished career as a provincial administrator, Xi has rapidly amassed more power than his predecessors. He has overawed his rivals and shaken up the party-state hierarchy with a thorough anti-corruption campaign. With a strong power base in the People’s Liberation Army and a vision of China as an “awakening lion,” Xi has been flexing China’s military muscle in sovereignty rows with countries including Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines while trying to undermine the influence of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. While Xi is still fine-tuning his art of governance, his zero tolerance for dissent and his preoccupation with upholding the privileges of the “red aristocracy” and the CCP’s status as “perennial ruling party” do not bode well for economic, political, or cultural reforms. Lam takes a close look at Xi’s ideological and political profile and considers how his conservative outlook might shape what the new strongman calls “the Great Renaissance of the Chinese people.” Willy Wo-Lap Lam is Adjunct Professor in the Centre for China Studies and the Department of History of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
