![]() An ambitious nation, readying itself to become even stronger-economically, politically, and militarily. Xi is the most powerful Chinese leader in decades, and he rules over a China that is stronger than it has been for centuries. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has placed its leader, Xi Jinping, where no one has been since Mao Zedong. And this China wants to shape the rest of the world in its own image. Within its borders, China is working to create the perfect surveillance state, and its engineers of the soul are again trying to craft the "new man" of whom Lenin, Stalin, and Mao once dreamed. Are we ready? Because one thing is becoming increasingly clear: over the coming decades, the greatest challenge for our democracies and for Europe won't be Russia, it will be China. And it's also time for us to take a look at ourselves. A new country and a new regime are being born. Something is happening in China that the world has never seen before. It's time for us to start paying attention. The China that was with us for forty years-the China of "reform and opening up"-is making way for something new. ![]()
