And they use that leverage to pivot countries away from recognizing Taiwan to recognizing the CCP.

And when he's talking about Jack Ma was a high school English teacher.

and he builds this company called Alibaba, which becomes the Amazon market

massively successful all across China, a true unicorn.

And to give you an idea of Xi clamping down, Jack Ma, so it's almost like a Jeff Bezos type figure, who's disappeared from public life for almost a year, and then he reappears lecturing at a kindergarten in rural China.

and the official press said he had embraced supervision.

That's the level of reassertion of control.

So all the growth and the openness that happened in the late 70s, 80s, 90s, early 2000s, really clamped down by Xi, and he has really consolidated control.

He is the most powerful,

Chinese leader since Mao.

And in the latest, I think it was a year and a half ago, he basically at the Chinese, at the party conference,

he made it possible for him to stay on, effectively the emperor for life.

Because normally they had stayed for five or 10 year terms and he is now for life.

To the point of Jiang Zemin, his predecessor, had him arrested publicly, dragged off the stage at the party conference, kind of a F you, I'm in charge, real consolidation.

And there's three factions of the Chinese Communist Party.

There's the young princelings,

Xi is a young princeling.

So his father literally did the long march with Mao back in the 30s when they escaped fighting against the nationalists and goes all the way up almost to Xinjiang in the Northwest of the country.

So that's the lineage.

The Shanghai faction, which was another, that's kind of the business faction of the Chinese Communist Party.
