đ§ Xi's China
As it recovers from Covid more quickly than many other nations, China appears to be stronger than ever. But the worldâs next superpower faces enormous challenges of its own. Minxin Pei, a professor at Claremont McKenna College and one of the worldâs leading China experts, has spent years writing about them. Behind the country's façade of invincibility, he argues, lies âa Leninist state in an advanced stage of decayâ.
In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Minxin Pei trace the country's political evolution since the 1980s and debate whether Xi Jinping is cementing the party's powerâor may unwittingly be seeding the roots of its own demise.
