On this week’s episode of PRT Weekly we start by discussing Xi Jinping’s consolidation of power in China as the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party. We then move on to a discussion about the devastating suicide bombing on October 14th in the Somali capital of Mogadishu before touching on developments in the recent tensions in Spain over Catalan independence. Finally, we finish on the perhaps not so happy note of a butter shortage affecting croissant production in France.
