The Man Who Runs The World: Xi Jinping’s China

“On Shifting Ground” host Ray Suarez has just returned from a four-month stint living in Shanghai. There, he had a front-row seat to draconian lockdowns, the White Paper Protests and Xi Jinping’s triumphant acceptance of a third term, cementing the Chinese president’s vision for the country’s future. On his way out of China, Ray witnessed the country’s chaotic exit from “zero-COVID,” as Beijing scrambled to face the deadly fallout. What is Xi Jinping’s plan to reset China, and how do we make sense of his enigmatic rule? Sue-Lin Wong, a reporter from The Economist, joined Ray for a live-streamed discussion of the consolidation of power by the Chinese Communist Party, and its national and global implications. Wong is also the host of the magazine’s hit podcast “The Prince: Searching for Xi Jinping.” see more
