18. Michael Sheridan at the Bridport Literary Festival (Wednesday 06 November 12noon) – SOLD OUT

Xi Jinping and the New China

In conversation with Paul Lashmar

Xi Jinping rules over 1.4 billion people and the second biggest economy on earth.  He commands huge armed forces and runs a technology programme which claims to dominate the globe. His ambition is to take the place of the United States and to change the world order. Xi’s life is full of drama: plots, purges, power struggles and a pandemic. Michael Sheridan charts the rise of the isolated China of the 1950s to the modern economic and military juggernaut of today.
