The chapter explores the extent to which Han Fei and Chinese Legalism inform Xi Jinping Thought and therefore contemporary Chinese politics. It examines Xi’s China Dream, and specific policy initiatives including the concentration of power in his hands, the anti-corruption campaigns against officials, the use of law as an instrument of the state, and the significant investment in the military to argue that all these initiatives follow closely Han Fei’s advice on how to make a state wealthy and powerful. It concludes by noting that Xi is not unique in this respect—Chinese leaders have historically resorted to Legalism in times of political instability and uncertainty.
