Historian Jens-Peter Fage Madsen takes the audience through the life of Xi Jinping and the current political and economic developments in China. The talk places these in a historical frame, following Xi's childhood under Mao Zedong, his youth under Deng Xiaoping, and his rise to power in 2012/13.
The lecture also looks at China's current role in the global system. It is part of Herrens Mark, a gathering that is open to men only, and the evening ends with a shared meal.
