CHINAFILE
On the
Adulation of Xi Jinping
Writing
for ChinaFile,
historian and cultural critic Geremie R. Barmé wonders: "Have
we reached peak Xi
Jinping?"
He examines a recent People's
Daily front page (which featured the Chinese
president's name 45 times) in the context of Xi's power
consolidation and growing cult of personality. Barmé also
addresses the inevitable comparisons to Mao Zedong
and the emerging discipline of "Ximiotics."
