79. Michael Sheridan: The Red Emperor
Correspondent and leading expert on China, Michael Sheridan, joins us for a revelatory conversation on Xi Jinping, arguably the most powerful man in the world.
Sharing insights drawn from decades of reporting, Sheridan reveals that behind the façade of the Chinese Communist Party there is a modern dynasty and a new emperor. He shares an eye-opening analysis of Xi Jinping, from his early life and rise to power to his actions as absolute ruler. Hear how this loner and risk-taker became the most consequential leader of our time.
