Join PCFR on October 25 for a discussion with a Wall Street Journal correspondent, Pulitzer Prize finalist, and one of the most admired reporters covering China today, Chun Han Wong on his new book, Party of One.

Party of One provides a revealing and timely account of Xi Jinping's rise to power, dispelling misconceptions about his leadership and highlighting his centralization of power, cult of personality, and moves towards indefinite rule. Through his firsthand reporting and historical analysis, Wong explores Xi's impact on China and the world, as he challenges Western influence and promotes China's authoritarian model on the global stage.

The conversation will be moderated by Ian Curtiss, an Associate Faculty at ASU's W. P. Carey School of Business and PCFR Member. There will be time for Q&A, so get reading and come prepared with questions!

China, the world's second-largest economy, is increasingly seen as an alternative to Western democracy. The country is currently led by one man, Xi Jinping. Understanding his leadership and dispelling myths is crucial to understanding US-China relations and China's future on the world stage.
