Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on Modern Affairs continues with a video on China, in which we explain how Xi Jinping destroyed the Chinese political process, consolidating the power and the different groups within the Chinese elites. Previously we discussed if the West really wants to win the war against Russia (https://youtu.be/GDEsH8uBxac), if Russia is fascist, using a variety of academic definitions of this ideology (https://youtu.be/QFtluXVvw2E), about the delivery of F-16 aircraft to Ukraine, asking if it can become a gamechanger https://youtu.be/8f64SnDnXck, about Russian and Ukrainian economies (https://youtu.be/FqiQ99Fcsn0), about the Ukrainian Euromaidan of 2014, also known as the Revolution of dignity and deduced if it was a coup or a revolution (https://youtu.be/cx-RxyyeAjw), about Russian elites and various power brokers and groups, as we tried to deduce who is going to rule Russia after Putin (https://youtu.be/KvRxkVHIKc4), the European Union, discussing if it is a real superpower or an utopia (https://youtu.be/85KXEtX9ABc), short-term union that is fated to dissolve, about Russia, China and Iran and discussed their ties, interests and contradictions and try to deduce if Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Ali Khamenei can form a stable alliance - a new axis or support each other temporarily (https://youtu.be/wRAQezn85tw), made videos on the 15 Events that Defined the War in Ukraine (https://youtu.be/kB-fUwNFkNo) and on the possible vectors of the upcoming Ukrainian counter-attack (https://youtu.be/dLtk0I5LEXY) and on why we consider the war in Ukraine to be Unprovoked (https://youtu.be/bQbP4jTx2wU).

The Communist Party of China has been the dominant political entity running the nation since 1949. During that time, the body also known as the Chinese Communist Party has led the country from a poor, insular existence to a role as a global economic powerhouse. But along the way, the party has kept a tight grip on power and quashed any form of dissent. The Post explains how the Communist Party works and how it runs China.

China’s former leader Hu Jintao was led out of the Communist Party congress in Beijing, shortly after reporters were allowed in.

The unexpected moment led to intense speculation.

Chinese state media reported that Hu Jintao "was not feeling well" during the session and was taken to a meeting room "for a rest".

Some have questioned this explanation.

For years, good relations with China guaranteed the German economy healthy profits and cheap goods. But over time, that relationship has become a dependency. The documentary "In the Jaws of the Dragon - How to Deal with China?” explores the nature and extent of this reliance.

At a summit meeting to discuss the "New Silk Road” infrastructure project in October 2023, China’s President Xi appeared alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin. Whether in Asia or the Middle East - China is evidently pushing for a new world order, with offensives directed against the West. Germany is already feeling the consequences.

For a long time, trade with China flourished: From 1984, Volkswagen flooded the Chinese market with cars, ultimately exporting one in every three VWs to China. But now, Chinese companies like BYD are dominating the market with e-cars. And Germany’s reliance on China for computer chips, antibiotics and solar cells can now be seen as downright reckless. This dependence is becoming more evident as China increasingly comes up trumps both politically and economically. Whether regarding the Ukraine war, in its relations with Russia or its continued saber rattling in the conflict with Taiwan: Where China would have once conducted itself with restraint, it now demands its slice of global power. In Berlin, politicians are rubbing their eyes in disbelief: what was once a healthy relationship is now a codependency. And there’s no easy way out.

One of China's best-known politicians has been fired, exposing high stakes infighting within the communist party.

Bo She Lie had been seen as a strong contender for
top office.

The Chinese change leaders every ten years. The next transition is due later this year.

Al Jazeera's Melissa Chan reports from Beijing.

And why that’s a big deal.

For the first time in six decades, China’s population is shrinking, and it’s predicted it could create a demographic crisis. That’s because China isn’t just shrinking, it’s also aging. And the majority of Chinese couples are not considering having more than one child. Because of this, China is predicted to lose nearly 50 percent of its population by 2100.

China’s population decline can be traced back to the restrictive family-planning policies launched in the 1970s and an impressive economic boom fueled by China’s huge labor force.
China’s modernization brought rapid urbanization, rising income levels, and better education to large parts of China. Combined, these policies and growth have given China one of the lowest birth rates in the world.

Today, China is trying to reverse its population decline. Not just because an aging population is hard to sustain economically, but because China’s impressive economic growth, until now, has relied on its people. As China’s population challenges deepen over time, it might have to rethink how to grow its economy and care for its citizens.

You can explore China’s birth and death rate data via the United Nations Population portal, here:

Professor Chenggang Xu (Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business) explains what the world commonly misunderstands about Chinese economic growth and reform.

Borrowing from Mao Zedong's playbook, Chinese President Xi Jinping has launched a "rectification" campaign to purify the Communist Party and tighten limits on speech. Yiching Wu, professor and historian, talks about how politicians use Mao's legacy to criticize the status quo.

Rory Truex is a professor at Princeton University focusing on Chinese politics and authoritarian regimes. At this Talks at Google series, Professor Truex argues why the year of 2017/2018 may one day be considered a “critical year” for modern China, the year President Xi Jinping signaled a “New Era” of his own making. He also highlights three troubling trends to watch moving forward.

The European Parliament has been a coalition of centre-left and centre-right delegates for decades. But elections in June could deliver more far right MEPs than ever before. Their success could influence EU policy on everything from immigration to agriculture and the energy transition. The FT speaks to politicians and voters across the continent to reveal the causes and potential impacts

Exit polls had begun to roll in at the end of European elections across the EU’s 27 countries, when President Emmanuel Macron delivered his bombshell moment in a televised address to a stunned French population.

“I’ve decided to hand you back the choice of our parliamentary future with a vote. I am therefore dissolving the National Assembly,” he declared.

The National Rally party - led by Mr Macron's rivals Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella - was one of the big gains that Europe’s far-right parties had expected, and confirmation came with all the exit polls giving the party more than 30%, double that of Mr Macron’s centrist Renaissance.

But beyond France, the broader story of Europe's four-day vote marathon really belonged to the parties of the centre right.

They tightened their grip on the European Parliament, with victories in Germany and Spain, and significant advances in Hungary, against long-dominant Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

The far right did not enjoy as great a surge across Europe as many had predicted.

In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party came second, while Austria’s party of the same name came out as winners, but only narrowly.

Multi-party systems are confusing, so here's a quick guide to the main political parties in European politics.

For Americans it can be especially challenging to understand European politics, as they're so used to the Democrats and Republicans dominating the scene. Hopefully this explains the basics well enough, so you can get started on your deep dive into whatever political topic you want to research.

Note: This is obviously just a super short introduction and is based more on stereotypes than on any actual party. The continent is far too big and politics far too diverse to cover in one video. Also: The colors and names of the parties sadly don't always match up with their real life counterparts. Sorry. That's life.
