The Talk:
Chinese President Xi Jinping has articulated a simple but powerful vision: the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. On the home front, he has launched a series of initiatives designed to produce a corruption-free, politically cohesive, and economically powerful one party state. His foreign policy is far more expansive and activist than that of his predecessors, envisioning a China with global reach and influence. How likely is President Xi to accomplish his objectives? What do his policies portend for China and the rest of the world?
