Sophia Yan, pianist for the Lawfare Podcast and Rational Security, is also The Telegraph\u2019s Beijing correspondent\u2014or at least, she was until the other day. She\u2019s produced a new podcast entitled, \u201cHow to become a dictator,\u201d about the rise and rule of Xi Jinping and her own struggles as a reporter in Xi\u2019s China. Now Sophia\u2019s in Taiwan after a hasty exit from the country, and she joined Lawfare\u2019s editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes to discuss the new podcast and her departure from China. Who is Xi Jinping really? How is Xi different from other recent Chinese leaders? Why did Sophia leave China? And did she take her piano with her?
