This episode explores how China's supreme leader Xi Jinping revitalized communist ideology. He remains a true believer in its false tenets. The program reveals that a new school of thought among China experts in the West incorrectly argues that Xi is not seeking global domination. These China hands seek to minimize the ideological danger posed by Xi's China. They say his goal in building massive military forces is solely to keep the despised Chinese Communist Party -- and himself -- in power. The latest program explains why this is wrong and further delves into the goals of Xi's Marxism-Leninism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era -- the new era being X's rule over China's 1.4 billion people and the adoption of aggressive Leninist actions to expand the CCP's power in seeking world domination under Chinese communism as a Marxist historical goal. The counterproposal section explains how Marx's atheistic theory of conflict and struggle is wrong. Instead, cooperation is the true path toward solving social problems. The news portion discusses the controversy over a key Pentagon policy position in the new Trump administration, and the interview portion hears  congressional testimony from one of the world's top China experts, John Garnaut. Must listening!

Some Asian markets fell right after Chinese President Xi Jinping cemented his position as the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao. President Xi used the Chinese Communist Party's National Party Congress, which is held every five years, to not only break the tradition of maximum ten-year terms in office, but he also removed supporters of his more open, market-oriented predecessors from the key policy making body. John Garnaut, founder of investment advisory firm Garnaut Global Joins Matt Pottinger, a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution, to discuss the implications of Xi's indefinite grip on power on the outlooks for businesses, the economy and international relations.

For Australia, China's foreign policy, particularly in the Asian region, is of critical importance. To respond effectively to China's activities in a way that protects Australia's interests, we need to know not only what China is doing, but why. There appears to be a contradiction in Chinese foreign policy that Xi Jinping is prioritising good relations with countries on the periphery, however at the same time, insists China will not compromise on any issue pertaining to its territorial sovereignty. How can this apparent tension be resolved, particularly when China blames tensions around its periphery on the U.S. Rebalance to Asia, not on its own policies. The U.S. says China is intimidating its neighbours and not abiding by international law. Who is right? On 21 May, John Garnaut and Bonnie Glaser discussed China's regional policy with Lowy Institute East Asia Program Director Merriden Varrall.

On 9 October 2014, Lowy Institute East Asia Program Director Merriden Varrall and Fairfax Media's Asia Pacific editor John Garnaut discussed what corruption means in China today, drawing on their experiences living and working in Beijing.

'The Rise of Xi Jinping and Destruction of Bo Xilai'. Presented by Mr John Garnaut, Author and former China correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. 27 February 2014.

On 26 September 2013 the Lowy Institute for International Policy announced the winner of the inaugural Lowy Institute Media Award. Fairfax's John Garnaut has won the inaugural Lowy Institute Media Award. John was nominated for his in-depth work on the leadership transition in China, his reporting on the Bo Xilai case, and coverage of tensions in the South China Sea. The keynote address at the award ceremony was given by ASIS Director-General Nick Warner, who spoke about his late father, war correspondent Denis Warner. An extended version of Nick Warner's speech, as well as more information about the award, is available on our website: http://lowyinstitute.org

On 4 September 2013 Linda Jakobson, East Asia Program Director at the Lowy Institute, spoke at length with former Fairfax Media China correspondent John Garnaut on the future direction of the Communist Party in China.

The spectacular trial of Bo Xilai seized the media's attention last week as the fallen politburo member — still widely admired in Chongqing and Dalian and heavily connected among the Party elite — defended himself with unexpected vigor against charges of corruption, and hardly paused to implicate his wife and subordinates in murder, mutual poisoning and financial skullduggery. This week on Sinica, Kaiser and Jeremy host two guests: Ed Wong from The New York Times and James Miles of The Economist for a closer look at what some Chinese commentators are calling China's "trial of the century." Join us for an in-depth discussion of the trial which looks at not only what this means for media transparency in China, but also makes historical comparisons with previous political purges, including the famous case against Jiang Qing and the Gang of Four following the Cultural Revolution.
