What Xi Jinping's done IMO is to marry traditional Tao and Confucian philosophy/ideology with Marxism as China understands it which is best seen in the Global Initiatives and the quest for Harmony in domestic and international relations. There's a wisdom and related perspective in China and Asia generally that doesn't exist in the West thanks to Asia's lack of Monotheism, although the form most accepted in Asia is Islam. "Thinking Systems" are predominant and are deeply intertwined within Asian culture. Hinduism, fortunately, is too complicated for most Western minds to handle. Thinking Systems are superior because they don't rely on myth and supernaturalism for validity, so there's no conflict with the advancement of knowledge as exists in the West.
