This week, Sue-Lin Wong of The Economist discusses her new podcast 'The Prince: Searching for Xi Jinping'. This eight-part series details the life of Xi Jinping — from his tumultuous youth during the Cultural Revolution, his early political career in Fuzhou, to his ascent as the leader of China. Sue-Lin talks about the challenges of creating a podcast about China from abroad, and finding sources to talk about sensitive topics such as internet censorship, surveillance, and more.
Sue-Lin and Joanna also recap the highlights from China's 20th Party Congress — including Hu Jintao's unusual exit from the meeting — and the political challenges Xi Jinping faces at the start of his third term.
