Xiao Lixin / China Daily Book by President Xi Jinping explores governance philosophy of a new leadership A symposium on a book by Chinese President Xi Jinping that has been distributed worldwide was held at BookExpo America on Thursday in New York. Xi Jinping: The Governance of China was compiled by the State Council Information Office, the CCCPC Party Literature Research Office and China International Publishing Group. It has been translated and published in Chinese, English, French, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Japanese by the Foreign Languages Press. The multilingual edition of the book was successfully launched in Frankfurt, Germany, on October 8, 2014, and also attracted considerable attention during APEC China 2014, the 26th annual gathering of leaders of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation held in Beijing. Dr Robert Kuhn, China expert, international corporate strategist and political commentator, told the symposium that the book stresses improving people’s lives, reform, rule of law, and building the CPC. These have been codified as Xi’s “Four Comprehensives”, he said. “The unprecedented book presents Xi’s political philosophy, symbolizes his rapid emergence as a strong leader, and communicates his way of thinking,” Kuhn said
