Who Is Xi Jinping?
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.

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.

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.

The Economist - Can you do one video on Joe Biden? Thanks a lot.
world peace
The recent Economist podcast series on him was really bad. I know there's secrecy on the behind the scenes politics, but this guy was seemingly a rising star and a governor, there has GOT to be more to his rise to power in the public record than what the podcast's "research" managed to conjured up: "He kept his head down for most of his political career..... then he became vice president, then president". 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.
While I always enjoy the channel, I have to say that this video is quite superficial.
“state media is the only media that Chinese people can see” me as Chinese:what?😅
Surprised to see an Economist presenter saying nucular like Homer Simpson rather than nuclear like it’s supposed to be pronounced
Very well done. But much more to cover in his words, policies and silencing of his adversaries.

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.

Xi Jinping must be of utmost importance to the Economist. Not much has been said about Joe Biden or any other current leaders.
Eric Lu, the former Weibo security guy, must have censored a comment in less than 8 minutes for 11 hours straight since 5,000 comments divided by 660 minutes (11 hours) is 7.57 minutes.

Indeed. Actions speak louder than words. The US has well... invaded a ridiculous number of countries. Russia annexed a region of an independent UN recognised country and invaded them. And China has done what exactly? Invaded Africa? The issue of Taiwan is the unfortunate result of the unresolved Chinese civil war.

I grew up in Yanan, where Xi worked and studied during the cultural revolution. And also, Mao had lived here for around 13 years. Without their experience in Yanan, we would never get any chance to go to school due to the abject poverty compared with other Chinese area. However, Yanan’s government wants to make Xi happier when Xi comes back to Yanan. To accomplish Mao’s ideology, Xi recently went to Yanan again; I guess that Xi wants to become the second Mao...

Your question has been best and very clearly answered yesterday. How the Canadian PM Justin Trudeau was handled by Xi in front of the media in Bali, Indonesia, scornfully lectured Trudeau for disrespectfully leaking meeting details contrary to mutual understandings between two national leaders in the World, a norm that any leader considered "proper" to uphold for meetings of such kinds. Disclosure of details are mutually agreeable and a political courtesy. Not so, for the Canadian politician. Shameful. Any other Xi's character that you want to know will rendered unnecessary.
