Xi's solution to China's many challenges seems to be to let the market become the decisive force in the economy. Professor Connie Carter believes that persuading the Party to support that move will be difficult

In 2012, President Xi Jinping proposed the idea of the Chinese Dream when he took office during the country's once-in-a-decade leadership transition. Expectations were high: Xi the Reformer? Xi on a par with Deng Xiaoping, the father of China's modern economic development?

Everyone waited eagerly for Xi to define the China Dream. Arguably he did that in November 2013 at the Third Plenum of the Party's 18th Central Committee and in his Explanatory Notes, which outline the country's direction for the next decade.
