The Cconcept of Sustainable Authoritarianism" in the Era of Xi Jinping

Abstract

The article investigates the research of western specialists on China in the era of Xi Jinping. Although Western media and scientific community have gathered a huge amount of factual material on modern China, including Xi Jinping’s China, however western sinology has not produced a paradigm that could shed light on the inner workings of Chinese socialism. From our point of view, the mainstream narrative of “Authoritarian Resilience” has its inconsistencies.
