Episode notes

Xi Jinping is now the most powerful person in the world. He wants to return China to a position of being one of, if not the strongest nations on earth. The Chinese people will never allow any foreign forces to bully or enslave them. To make that happen he needs a global order where it's okay to be an authoritarian leader like Xi Jinping.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is a product of Mao Zedong’s revolution. On Sunday, he'll become the most powerful Chinese leader since the Communist Party’s founder — and maybe the most powerful person in the world.
