To solve the kind of problems confronting us in this day and age, the wisdom and strength that we ourselves have discovered and developed is not enough – we must also be able to access the sources accumulated over the course of human history. Xi Jinping: The Governance of China is a repository of such wisdom and strength. It is a key that will unlock understanding of China's past history and present reality, and a lamp to shed light on China's future development.
