China's leader has solidified his grip on the ruling Chinese
Communist Party, embarking on an unprecedented third term in power.
With now nearly limitless power, the world's biggest country
totalling a fifth of humanity is now largely under the control of a
single man. Who is Xi Jinping? What is his backstory - and how
is he likely to respond to the growing domestic pressures in China
stemming from his unpopular lockdown policies and the ticking
timebomb of financial pressures? Former British diplomat and
world-renowned China expert, Dr. Kerry Brown joins us for a deep
dive into the country and its leader. Our discussion,
which as always features analysis from former MI6 Chief Sir
Richard Dearlove, explores Xi's tumultuous path to joining the
Party after nine failed attempts. We follow his political
journey through to a questionable response to the most recent
health, as well as economic pressures facing the country. The first
in a three-part series on China, we learn more about an
increasingly influential and yet not widely understood Chinese
President.
