Back to EpisodesWhat keeps China’s president up at night?
Description
The signs Xi Jinping’s woes are growing: a deputy diminished. Missing ministers. Stricter security laws. And we haven’t even mentioned the economy. Is President Biden right to suggest China is not rising, but in relative decline?
Adam Fleming talks to Celia Hatton, the BBC’s Asia Pacific Editor, and Rana Mitter, host of several BBC documentaries about China and a professor of US-China relations at the Harvard Kennedy School.
