China: A New World Order

This three-part series explores the unexpected rise to power of a man previously unknown in the West: Xi Jinping, who became the president of China in 2013, in control of the superpower's formidable military forces as well as its vast economy. Exerting a tight grip at home, China has become ever more controlled under Xi's leadership, with endemic human rights abuses targeting dissenters, and has seen legislation removing term limits for his presidential office. On the world stage, Xi Jinping has made China's voice assertive enough to cause alarm in the West over shifting power balances and the country's resurgent influence. Each episode explores one of these many aspects to Xi Jinping's rule, examining both the larger global factors and the man at their centre.
