1:21:05Now PlayingProfessor Steve Tsang describes Xi Jinping’s leadership style as "Sinocentric Consultative Leninism": absolute control by the Communist Party. This control is maintained through surveillance, ostensible 'anti-corruption' campaigns, nationalism, and the educational 'shaping' of the people. Xi aims to expand China's global influence, using economic leverage and Taiwan to achieve his vision of national rejuvenation.
Tsang highlights contradictions in Xi’s policies, such as encouraging economic innovation while suppressing freedom and dissent, hindering growth and creativity. Although Xi's strategies have increased his power and China’s global standing, they risk internal instability and international conflict. Professor Tsang explores this, as well as a strategy of economic deterrence as a potential response from the West.
Professor Steve Tsang is a political scientist and historian of China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. He has a PhD from Oxford University and is the author of many books. His latest book is co-authored with Olivia Cheung and is titled
The Political Thought of Xi Jinping, just published by Oxford University Press.
