Uncle Xi, Chairman of Everything, China’s CEO, Mao 2.0, Winnie the Pooh, Steamed Bun.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping has many names, but what do we really know about him? The Telegraph’s award-winning China Correspondent Sophia Yan is going to find out - but this might be her toughest assignment yet. Wish her luck.
Another series from Sophia Yan is available on this feed, Hong Kong Silenced:
Mass arrests. Newspaper raids. Banned protests. Activists fleeing into exile. A curriculum designed to brainwash. The Telegraph’s award-winning China Correspondent Sophia Yan tells the inside story of how life in Hong Kong was turned upside down in just one year.
Xi Jinping is in power, and he immediately kicks off a campaign to clear up corruption in China. But he doesn’t stop there. Soon human rights activists, Uyghurs, and even former allies are disappearing off the streets with no explanation. Meanwhile, The Telegraph’s Sophia Yan wrestles with China’s strict Zero Covid policy while in quarantine.
