Xi's thoughts offer insight

Editor's Note: The Communist Party of China is holding its 19th National Congress in Beijing. China Daily asked four prominent experts for their views on developments in China and the country's global leadership.

On the desk of Xavier Bettel, the Luxembourg prime minister, sits a French edition of The Governance of China, a best-selling collection of President Xi Jinping's thoughts and speeches. He received the book during an event at the Chinese embassy late last month to celebrate China's National Day.

"I'm going to read it during my upcoming trips to Moscow, Warsaw and Brussels," he said.
