Xi’s moment to work outlasting peace with India

Hindustan Times  

Despite China and India both being headed by their most consequential leaders of the last few decades, the two haven’t been able to permanently resolve their outstanding disputes. First, as is evident from the communique issued in the October 2022 Plenary of the Communist Party of China, Xi has heralded his period as a “New Era” in Chinese history — for achieving “new and significant” progress for the party and country on all fronts. Journalist Francois Bougon, in his book, Inside the Mind of Xi Jinping, says, “Xi Jinping wants to become the world’s most powerful leader.” Sinologist Geremie Barme describes Xi as the “Chairman of Everything ”, because he manages everything. According to The Economist, “Mr Xi understands power, is not afraid to use it, and is willing to take risks.” Biographer Michael Sheridan, in The Red Emperor, describes Xi as an absolute ruler whose word is law on everything from war and peace, as he wants to make China the supreme power in the East, “a loner and a risk-taker, he is the most consequential leader of our time”.
