Telegraph, 25 Oct 2022
Uncle Xi, Chairman of Everything, China’s CEO, Mao 2.0, Winnie the Pooh, Steamed Bun.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping has many names, but what do we really know about him? The Telegraph’s award-winning China Correspondent Sophia Yan is going to find out - but this might be her toughest assignment yet. Wish her luck.
In this second episode, we pick back up as Xi Jinping is in power, and he immediately kicks off a campaign to clear up corruption in China. But he doesn’t stop there. Soon human rights activists, Uyghurs, and even former allies are disappearing off the streets with no explanation. Meanwhile, The Telegraph’s Sophia Yan wrestles with China’s strict Zero Covid policy while in quarantine.
