Born and raised in Beijing, Jin is a professor at the London School of Economics. This makes her one of a small handful of professional economists who understand China from the inside. In this book, she writes that what we are watching in Xi Jinping’s China is the emergence of a “new playbook”. This playbook represents a search for a “new equilibrium”, which “involves striking a balance between greater equality and market incentives, security and growth, self-reliance and continued engagement with the West”.
