In the decade since Xi Jinping became China's top leader, he has centralized decision-making powers, encouraged a cult of personality around himself, and moved toward indefinite rule by scrapping presidential term limits--stirring fears of a return to a Mao-style dictatorship.
Today the influence of China and Xi Jinping are felt around the world, challenging Western pre-eminence in global affairs and casting its authoritarian system as a model of governance worthy of international emulation.
In this special live recording of the Asia Rising podcast, reporter Chun Han Wong of the Wall Street Journal will discuss Xi Jinping's life and leadership, and how he has changed China and its ruling Communist Party.
Guest:
Chun Han Wong (Reporter, Wall Street Journal, and author of Party of One: The Rise of Xi Jinping and China's Superpower Future)
