In November 2012, freshly anointed as China’s leader, Xi Jinping made one of his first stops a history museum. Xi took in an exhibition in Beijing that surveyed the foreign abuses beginning with the opium wars before shifting to the glories of the “New China”, including the “reform and opening up” after Mao Zedong’s death that created the world’s second-largest economy. Flanked by the six other members of the Politburo Standing Committee, the general secretary promised to steer the country to even greater heights: “In my view, to realize the great renewal of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream for the Chinese nation in modern history,” he said.
