Xi Jinping Thought: Global Ambition, Taiwan Reunification, and Total Control | Steve Tsang

Professor 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Intro 01:38 Introducing Steve Tsang 02:13 Xi Jinping's Background and Political Rise 05:07 The Concept of 'Sinocentric Consultative Leninism' 11:58 Control and Command Economy Under Xi 16:47 The Elimination of Rivals 22:56 Mass Surveillance and Social Credit System 29:37 Xi Jinping’s View on Democracy and Governance 38:36 Human Rights and Repression in China 50:28 The Taiwan Issue and Military Ambitions 01:07:09 Global Ambitions and the Challenge to Western Influence -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conversations feature John Anderson, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, interviewing the world's foremost thought leaders about today's pressing social, cultural and political issues.
