Analysts agree that vision puts China on right track

General Secretary Xi Jinping's strong vision for building China into a more prosperous world power and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era are sending stronger-than-ever repercussions around the world, where China watchers are taking notice.

Analysts agreed that the new theory is raised against a background of the world's longtime pursuit of openness and globalism being challenged by political and policy uncertainties, such as the US withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and the UK decision to leave the European Union.

Peter Frankopan, author of the international best-seller The Silk Roads: A New History of the World and a professor of global history at Oxford University, said: "Major transition presents challenging circumstances for all - which is why Xi was keen to reassure those at home and abroad that China is able to offer stability, but also set out a vision for how to overcome economic problems and difficulties, and how China proposes to play a more active role in international affairs."
