Deng Xiaoping’s formula of “hiding your strength and biding your time” has been replaced with assertiveness and displays of power. In line with Chinese tradition, all major aims, visions, proposals, and decisions are once again statedefined and state-focused. The personal rule of Xi Jinping, often referred to as the “Chairman of Everything,” dominates, creating a “Party of One.” At the same time, personal connections—China’s famous guanxi—have regained importance in institutions. This study, written by a former diplomat in Asia and a seasoned Polish sinologist and political scientist, focuses on three major issues: the current political system and governance in the PRC, so-called Xi-nomics, and China’s new global role following the pandemic and the Russian aggression in Ukraine.
