The View From Gellért Hill 2022/6: What’s next for Beijing? China after the 20th Party Congress

Kilátás

The 20th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party was held in October 2022, at which Xi Jinping was elected Party General Secretary for another five years, and his supporters were elected to the main decision-making bodies. What does this mean for China and the world? What has happened in China in the last ten years? What is the common prosperity policy all about? What can we expect regarding Taiwan in the near future? Will China's zero Covid policy change? In a new episode of the View from Gellért Hill podcast, Gergely Salát, Senior Research Fellow at the IFAT, discusses these questions with China expert Plamen Tonchev, a fellow at MERICS (Mercator Institute for China Studies, Berlin) and the Institute of International Economic Relations (IIER, Athens). The View from Gellért Hill (“Kilátás a hegyről”) is the podcast series of the Institute for Foreign Affairs and Trade (IFAT). The file features a part from the song entitled "Something Elated" from the brand Broke for Free (freemusicarchive.org/music/Broke_Fo…6ething_Elated).
