Description

John sits down with Professor Steve Tsang, a political scientist and historian of China, to discuss Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party.


 


Professor Steve Tsang describes Xi Jinping’s leadership style as “Sinocentric Consultative Leninism”: absolute control by the Communist Party. This control is maintained through surveillance, ostensible ‘anti-corruption’ campaigns, nationalism, and the educational ‘shaping’ of the people. Xi aims to expand China’s global influence, using economic leverage and Taiwan to achieve his vision of national rejuvenation.
