The World of Xi Jinping
By Sophie Lepault
Now president for life, Xi Jinping, is taking advantage of the Covid crisis to speed up the great unification by intensifying the crackdown on Hong Kong, on the Uighurs of Xinjiang, and threatening to invade Taiwan. He wishes for a unified Chinese nation. All minorities, religious, ethnic or ideological, must be assimilated into the dominant culture, willingly or by force. While the majority of the Chinese population seems to adhere to his project, the international community has become aware of the true face of the Chinese president and the nature of his regime.
