Abstract

The article focuses on "The Prince," an eight-part podcast series that traces the rise of Chinese President Xi Jinping, named after Machiavelli's leadership manual. Released around the start of Xi's third term as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, the series uses archival audio and interviews with individuals connected to Xi, including his American hosts from a 1985 visit and a Uyghur language teacher now in Norway, many of whom remain anonymous due to fear of government retaliation. The podcast offers both a detailed profile of Xi and a cultural-political history of China, receiving praise from knowledgeable figures such as former CIA chief David Petraeus.
