What could China look like after Xi Jinping? | Global News Podcast

This week Chinese President Xi Jinping and his inner circle are meeting in Beijing for a series of closed-door meetings, known as plenums.

Once those meetings have concluded, we're expecting to learn more about the senior figures who could shape the look of China’s ruling Communist Party in the years to come.

In this special episode we answer your questions about the next generation of Chinese leaders and how they might run this global superpower. We also look at the way Xi has shaped China's policies across Asia and Africa and his relationships with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

Presenter Celia Hatton is joined by the BBC's China correspondent Stephen McDonell in Beijing and Shawn Yuan from the BBC's Global China Unit.
