China crisis – Is Xi Jinping going to step down?
Episode description
Xi Jinping can, technically, be China’s leader for the rest of his life. But, speculation has mounted that he might be stepping down from power. Is this justified? And if not, how does Xi keep such a tough grip on power? Jacob Jarvis discusses with Kerry Brown, professor of Chinese Studies and director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College and the author of several books about China and Xi Jinping, including Xi: A Study in Power.
