Spotlight on Xi as Chinese Congress Begins

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Spotlight on Xi as Chinese Congress Begins

What to expect as the Communist Party's 19th National Congress kicks off.

After five years at the helm of the world's second biggest economy, China's President Xi Jinping will set out his vision for the country into the next decade. We examine whether he can consolidate his power and extend his reign. Also in the programme, we ask what the murder of a reporter in Malta tells us about changing attitudes towards the media. We also speak to George Saunders, the latest winner of the prestigious Man Booker prize
