The Self-Defeating Ambition of Xi Jinping.

Under the leadership of Xi Jinping, China has transformed into a global power, actively positioning the "China Model" as an alternative to American-style constitutional democracy.

The official documents that were circulated, in adhering to Deng's direction for China to hide its growing power, emphasized China's vulnerability, peaceful rise, and ongoing commitment to global norms.

On top of mounting antagonism from its neighbors and trade partners, Xi Jinping's policies have severely damaged China's reputation through a series of public relations disasters.

In 2015, China surprised the world with its "Made in China 2025" strategic plan.

Confucius Institutes proliferated around the world, injecting Chinese Communist Party propaganda into university curricula, and the Thousand Talents Program expanded its efforts to recruit western academics to China in exchange for bribes and research funding.

"Made in China 2025" made it clear that these research investments can no longer be dismissed as mere scientific diplomacy-Xi has made it clear that China is going for the jugular.

Instead of empowering China, Xi Jinping's actions have refocused America, reinvigorated her confidence, and reminded free people everywhere what we stand for and the virtues of our system.
