Who is Xi Jinping and what is the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation? How does China promote its soft power internationally? Will China become a global superpower or remain a regional power? What is the Belt and Road Initiative? Is the South China Sea really Chinese territory? How do Chinese and Americans view each other and their national prospects? What does the One China policy mean for China, Taiwan, and the USA? Why are religions and ethnic minorities oppressed? How does China use advanced surveillance to monitor its 1.4 billion citizens? And, is international military conflict likely as China becomes more powerful and assertive?
