  • This year Xi Jinping is expected to begin a historic third term as president, cementing his status as China’s strongest leader since Mao. The future of China's 1.4 billion people-and perhaps world peace-now depend to a large extent on the mind of one man. So who is President Xi, and what is his vision for China and its place in the world?

    I am a frequent reader of the Economist and very much a loyal fan of them. But I must confess this video is probably one of the more naive and scratch-the-surface films about CCP leadership I have seen in a while. They are not approaching the conclusion in an objective and systemic way but rather they pre-set a narrative or storyline and pair evidence accordingly. I hope the podcast is more refreshing.

    This video starts with a surprising premise, one that suggests that it’s hard to understand the man, his views on China and what he wants because “he doesn’t give wide ranging interviews…”. No, but he has written a four-volume book, “The Governance of China” comprised of a huge number of speeches and articles he’s written on nearly a hundred different topics, from economics to Chinese place in the world. His political philosophy and views aren’t so much a mystery, it’s heavily promoted as “Xi Jingpin Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” throughout the country. I do appreciate the efforts to understand him through the journey of his life, but also regret that so little was said about how surprising it was to have him succeed Hu Jintao over Hu’s favoured successor, Li Keqiang and how much of his efforts to consolidate power and his “anti-corruption” purges are related to a massive shift of power away from the two principal factions of CCP politics (Shanghai Clique and CCYL) and to a brand new one, the Xi Gang. Whether for better or worse, nobody will have changed CCP politics more since Mao than he has done.

      You couldn’t really understand one until you have conversations with him. The books he wrote and speeches he made are what he want the world to see he is, not necessarily to be what he really “is”.
      The hidden parts and facts are outlined through questions and conversations. That is why debates as well as discussions are crucial not only in court judgment but also in every part of world businesses.

    Popular way of trying to understand Xi's thoughts by focusing on his younger age is misleading. Younger age can form characters of a person but can hardly decide his view of world in his whole life, especially when it comes to the politicians. Why not dive deep to Xi's life from 1980's to 2012? This is the period he rises up and form his understanding on how China's society is working.

      I'm native yet I knew nothing of him until he became one of the country's leaders around 2007ish. I was shocked to know he is the husband of Peng Liyuan, who is a quite famous singer in China. Later, I learned some of his youth age but nothing regarding what he had done when he was a local governor. It's quite interesting to learn the here-and-there stories of his father though. His father seemed to be a man who was tough but with sympathy and insisted on procedure justice. He is so unlike his father in many ways. I am also curious about how he earned the trust of Jiang and Hu. Since both Jiang and Hu are very politically talented and I wonder what makes them pick up Xi.

    If he is really clean then when did the money to educate his daughter on foreign land come from, we all need to be practical and find out where the comforts he has had way before he came into the lime light originate.
    This old man is my hero and I am not shy to call him out with all the shady things that eventually became part of who he is today.
    Regardless of everything to me he will always be a father of his nation and the rest is history, as keeping power in China is no child's play as I learn from is actions and operations rather than his words.
    This old Man is trying his best and if no one is bold enough to take him on, then he will never stop, I will not lie studying politics and trade is a joy under his administration.
    as people claim that he is direct I often see him go on a different angle or direction to visualize his lies, which is the coolest thing a modern leader can do for me.

Bruh, what even is this journalism? Aren't you missing some important steps there? I'm taking a wild guess you dont somehow end up at the very top of the CCP by just keeping your head down. Meanwhile they spent the first couple of episodes on his childhood, while interesting, it seems their primary source was some sort of documentary on him they saw on chinese state television.

    Really well done thanks. I think you may be missing out on one issue. Historically there were two primary factions in the government, the princelings and the technocrats. They have been taking turns running the country since Deng moved on. Xi became premier in the standard rotation, taking over from the technocrats on behalf of the princelings. But he has broken the contract and extended his rule. This alienates the technocrats. This puts the system into imbalance. This foments opposition which in China has to be underground. There is a faction that is plotting against him and will pounce when the conditions are right.

    China has a no first use nuclear policy. In the event of war on Taiwan, aka the second Chinese civil war, it’s most unlikely China would be the first to reach the nuclear button. So instead of worrying about how China should conduct itself as the new world leader in the East, worry about your own humble position as an island nation losing sovereignty to the big powers.

      如果老百姓将会看的起病,不用吃化学食品,能自由监督批评政府,拥有真正法律维护自身权利,生活幸福,保留传统文化,主权的归属又有什么重要呢?

      @@wakkaka 新冠抗疫失败,政府治理缺失,社会枪支药品泛滥,媒体假新闻,仇恨和种族主义,对外不停发动侵略战争,这些帽子扣不到大陆头上。事实上,主权归属不是“理想国”,仅靠“自我感觉良好,感觉大陆很差”无法切割中国领土。

    The economist should start making contents on what the US, WEF, EU, CIA, WHO, World bank and NATO want.
