Nothing Is Foreign - Xi Jinping's Legacy

This week, Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to receive an unprecedented third term, which would make him the longest serving leader since Mao Zedong. It comes as more than two thousand members of the Chinese Communist Party are gathering in Beijing to determine the government’s priorities for the next five years. This week on Nothing is Foreign, we look at Xi’s path to consolidating power in the country, and how events like his father’s imprisonment, and the Cultural Revolution, brought him to this point. Featuring: Sue-Lin Wong, The Economist’s China correspondent and host of “The Prince”, a podcast about Xi Jinping’s rise to power.
