The Chinese head of state and party Xi Jingping has a big dream: China should become a world power. Militarily too. Internal control, external expansion, despite failed Covid policies, a weakening economy and an ageing population. The Chinese dragon is breathing fire: China's president recently accused his opponents of harming his country. Western countries, led by the USA, have isolated, encircled and oppressed China. The confrontation with the USA is coming to a head, with a view to Ukraine, but also with regard to Taiwan. How should the West deal with China? How much of a good face can it tolerate in the face of censorship and human rights violations? And what ideas drive the Chinese leadership? Yves Bossart in conversation with Ralph Weber, China expert and Professor of European Global Studies at the European Institute of the University of Basel, and with Martina Fuchs, European economic correspondent for the Chinese state news agency Xinhua and commentator for China Radio International (CRI).
