The Chinese political system is in for a big year. Xi is likely going to break the mold of the last 50 years of Chinese politics and take on a third term. What does this mean? Where are things headed? It’s time to find out.

In this episode we’re going to look into what is really going on. What does real Chinese politics look like? What does it take to gain power in China and to keep it? Is modern Chinese politics closer to Western politics or to ancient Chinese politics? And, most important of all, how is power transferred between Chinese leaders?  

The truth is much darker than we've been led to believe.
