JFOW 25: The Red Emperor – Xi Jinping And The New China

Michael Sheridan

SUPPORTED BY JICAS

Join Sean Dettman (JICAS Director) for a discussion with leading expert and correspondent on China and the Far East – Michael Sheridan – about Xi Jinping, arguably the most powerful man in the world, presiding over 1.4 billion people and the second largest economy on earth.

Drawing on intimate stories from the closed world of China’s leading families and two decades of first-hand reporting, Sheridan will shed new light on the history and politics of China and the ‘red emperor’, who aims to dominate world trade, to defeat Western democracy and to make China the supreme power in the East. A loner and a risk-taker, Xi Jinping is the most consequential leader of our time.
