The Documentary Podcast

Has the coronavirus epidemic weakened or strengthened the grip of China’s Communist Party? In the early stages of the outbreak in the city of Wuhan, authorities there downplayed its significance.

Mark Mardell assesses how President Xi and his government will emerge from the crisis.
