And who holds the real power in the Chinese system? China has become the powerhouse of the world economy and home to one <!--more-->in five of the world\u2019s population, yet we know almost nothing of the people who lead it. In The New Emperors, the noted China expert Kerry Brown journeys deep into the heart of the Communist Party. China\u2019s system might have its roots in peasant rebellion but it is now firmly under the control of a power-conscious Beijing elite, almost half of whose members are related directly to former senior Party leaders. Brown reveals the intrigue, scandal, and murder surrounding the internal battle raging between two China\u2019s: one founded by Mao on Communist principles, and a modern China in which \u2018to get rich is glorious.\u2019 At the center of it all sits the latest Party Secretary, Xi Jinping\u2014the son of a revolutionary, with links both to big business and to the People\u2019s Liberation Army. His rise to power is symbolic of the new dragons leading the world\u2019s next superpower. \u2014I.B.
