b'Given the disruptive events unfolding in China in recent weeks, what does the future holds for Xi Jinping and the country? Some say that this is a pivotal moment for Xi\\u2019s strongman rule, especially given that the Chinese economy is also suffering. And what do China\\u2019s political and economic challenges mean for the rest of the world? To answer these questions we\\u2019re joined by Yasheng Huang professor at MIT and author of Capitalism with Chinese characteristics and Kerry Brown, Director of the Lau China Institute at Kings College London and author of Xi: A study in power.
