Just this year, the Chinese Communist Party held an election in the
Great Hall of the People where Xi Jinping was voted “President for
Life.” The vote was 2,958 for and six against. With this vote they
proclaimed that China is now realizing its dream of national
rejuvenation, and it’s grand strategy to restore its Empire.
This move only adds fuel to mounting evidence of Chinese economic
and military ambitions that we’ve been learning about from
Cambridge University Professor Stefan Halper and Pat Mulloy, a
longtime member of the bipartisan China Commission.
Listen in as we discuss China's emerging empire, the economic and
territorial ambitions that go with it, and President Xi's increased
monitoring and repression of the Chinese people to stamp out any
hint of dissent.
