The Prince on Apple Podcasts Photo: Apple podcasts
Every five years, the Chinese Communist Party's National Congress meets to appoint new leaders. For 40 years, no leader has served more than two terms, but then Xi Jinping is not like other leaders in modern China. Sue-Lin Wong is The Economist's China correspondent and describes Xi Jinping as the most powerful person in the world. As the Party Congress begins, she is prying open the black box of elite Chinese politics to explore how this quietly ruthless leader came to power, how he stays in power, and what his leadership means for the rest of the world. The podcast is called The Prince.
