Xi Jinping Declares 'New Era' for China

Available for over a year

The president told his party's congress it is time for China to take "centre stage". Michael Pettis, professor of finance at Peking University in Beijing tells us what sort of new era Mr Xi has in mind. Also in the programme, the BBC's Marie Keyworth is in The Gambia, uncovering the economic impact of the country's new president, Adama Barrow. Plus, as Texan author George Saunders is awarded the Man Booker prize for fiction, Kiera O'Brien of The Bookseller magazine tells us what sort of impact such an award can have on book sales.
