It's an extremely dull collection of speeches. Honestly only of interest to those interested in foreign policy, doesn't have any literary merit of its own. The whole production is, of course, carefully curated to define and toe the party line, which is exactly what makes it so boring.
However, there is an amusing passage in Volume II in which he name-drops a bunch of (Western, politcal) philosophy that he's read (Plato, Federalist Papers, Montaigne, people like that) and then basically just says "they all had interesting things to say". I have the first three volumes but I haven't bothered to acquire #4.
Its just boring trash that's mostly ghostwritten anyway. Since Sun Yat Sen, its been tradition for Chinese leaders to have their own distinct ism. To have their own specific doctrines or whatever that add something new. Xi isn't a great intellectual or even a deep thinker. He's a corrupt politician who climbed up the ladder, eliminated rival factions, and established his own clique as the only relevant one within the CCP. So as you can imagine his ideas change all the time. He's inconsistent as frick. At one time he was a Marcuse loving Chinese New Leftist, then he was an authoritarian Westernizer, then he dabbled in a sort of neo Maosit kitsch and even pretends to be a New Confucian. The only real beliefs Xi has are that A. China should be a strict dictatorship and not introduce a seperation of powers and more democracy as people like Hu Jintao believed B. China is a great ethnic nation destined for greatness and we need to accelerate the rate of development to make China great again just like America. So he's a sort of Chinese chauvanist and power hungry Machiavellian with strict legalist beliefs who pretends to be a socialist Confucian when it suits him.
One wonders what would happen if a white invasion replaced the current Chinese government and carried out Lord Clive's bold project.
This great man thought he only needed an army of thirty thousand men to submit the whole Middle Kingdom, and we are inclined to believe his exact calculation, to see the chronic cowardice of these poor people, who do not want to be torn from the gentle digestive fermentation they make their only business. Suppose therefore the conquest attempted and completed. What position would these thirty thousand men have been in? According to Lord Clive, their role should have been limited to garrisoning cities. As the success would have been achieved for a simple purpose of exploitation, the troops would have occupied the main ports, perhaps pushed expeditions into the interior of the country to hold the submission, ensure the free movement of goods and the return of taxes, and nothing else.
At the first generation, the leader and the foreign army, very exposed to being kicked out, will still have all their racial energy to defend themselves and will know how to pour, without too much trouble, these dangerous moments. They will take care of forcing their new notions into the government and in administration. Europeans, they will be outraged by the pretentious mediocrity of the whole system, the hollow pedantry of local science, the cleverness created by bad military institutions. They will quickly put the axe on it and renew, in new forms, the literary proscription of Tsin-chi-hoang-ti.
In the second generation, they will be much stronger in terms of numbers. A tight row of mestizos, born of indigenous women, will have created a happy intermediary with the populations. These mestizos, educated, on the one hand, in the thought of their fathers, and, on the other, dominated by the feeling of their mothers' compatriots, will soften what intellectual importation had too much Europeanism, and will better accommodate local notions. Soon, from generation to generation, the foreign element will disperse among the masses by modifying them, and the old Chinese establishment, cruelly shaken, if not shed, will not recover; for the Aryan blood of the kschattryas has long since been exhausted, and if their work was interrupted, it could no longer be resumed.
On the other hand, the serious disturbances in Chinese blood would certainly not, I just said, lead to a European-style civilization. It must therefore be concluded:
1° That in China, conquests of the yellow race, which can only humiliate the strength of the victors in front of the organization of the vanquished, have never changed anything and will never change anything in the secular state of the country.
2° That a conquest by whites, under certain conditions, would have the power to modify and even reverse forever the current state of Chinese civilization, but only by means of mestizos.
Mao is better. Also his subordinates are more useful, I recall threads about Wang Huming and his America against America book a few years ago, fairly big brained analysis that wasn't pure propaganda.
Xi is a fact-man. Like most successful people he is concerned with reality. The physically and socially crippled IQfyerate doesn't know what to make of this, she only knows how to consume sanitized abstractions.
Shit, I kind of want to read it now too.

third world schizobabble

The 'two whatevers' do not accord with Marxism.

Just save yourself the time and don't read it.
>He's a corrupt politician
Literally the most meaningless, loaded buzzphrase.
>chauvanist
He meant to say "jingoist"
He’s a follower of the thought of Derek Chauvin (pbuh)
This is blasphemy against St. George, delete it right now.
If you're dumb enough to buy physical copies: indoctrination via platitudes.

The paper they used for my copy stank like chemicals and gave me a headache.

Denial of mass genocide personified
No proof laowai. Show respect.
