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.
