Xi Jinping may have emerged as China’s new emperor. At the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping was awarded a third term as President of China. He has sidelined rivals like Li Keqiang and has stacked the Politburo Standing Committee, China’s top leadership body with loyalists. Mint asks two simple questions: how has Xi Jinping shaped China? How will Emperor Xi shape the world? Mint’s Shashank Mattoo looks into the history of the Chinese Communist Party and its evolution. Mattoo traces the CCP under Mao, its efforts at reform and the rise of Xi Jinping to power. He looks at how Xi undid decades of reform and rule making to centralise power and control in his own hands.
