The DNA of Chinese Politics
This book analyzes Chinese politics, particularly the rule of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping, through an examination of the country's political ideology.
This book succinctly covers the DNA of Chinese politics through the philosophies of sages in China's first liberalization period during the Warring States epoch, principally those of Confucius, Mencius, Lao Zi, Zhuang Zi, Shang Yang and Han Fei. With an appreciation of these traditional ideologies, this book displays how Chinese political philosophy (which incorporates elements of Confucianist and especially Legalist thinking) has influenced ideas and policies from as early as the Qin and Han dynasties through to the Qing dynasty and even to the current day. Highlighting the controversies revolving around the flowering and contention of beliefs and isms during China's second liberalization in the Republican Period (1912-1949), this book reveals how and why this led to the repression of the CCP era under dictators ranging from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping.
Revealing how Chinese political and philosophical legacies impact the development of ideology and policies of CCP leadership, this book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Chinese politics, Chinese history, and international relations.

"Where do premodern Chinese political thinking and contemporary governance come together? Drawing on philosophy, history and a profound knowledge of China's elite politics, Willy Lam puts together ideas that are thoughtful, provocative and stimulating about the DNA of today's China."
Rana Mitter, author of China's Good War
"Willy Lam's From Confucius to Xi Jinping: The DNA of Chinese Politics is another intellectual tour de force. It provides an original and insightful examination of the ideological tenets and political instruments of tyranny in both ancient and contemporary China. Composed with unrivalled elegance and lucidity, this book will be a standard text for those interested to gain a deep understanding of the core ideas and practices that have sustained autocracy in China for millennia."
Minxin Pei, author of The Sentinel State: Surveillance and the Survival of Dictatorship in China
"A major contribution in which leading China analyst Willy Lam reverses the CCP strategy of "making the ancient serve the present" and reveals the 'Chinese DNA' that underpins the nation's dynastic cycle"
Guoguang Wu, Senior Researcher Scholar, Stanford University
"From Confucius to Xi Jinping is a broad-ranging and erudite tour that illuminates politics, economy, religion, technology, and more. It spans Chinese history from the earliest times to the present day. The tour guide is Willy Lam, who loves China but is also unafraid to look squarely at the suffering the Chinese people have been through and the difficult future that they face in present times."
Perry Link, Professor emeritus of East Asian Studies, Princeton University
