About the Seminar
 
Chinese Politics under Xi Jinping 
 
Under Xi Jinping, Chinese politics has become more authoritarian and centralized around one person. Xi Jinping has abolished many of the policies introduced by Deng Xiaoping, including term-limits and age criteria for holding leading positions. He has also abolished Deng’s policy of the separation of Party and government resulting in the CCP taking over state functions and solidifying its presence in all companies and organizations. Externally Xi Jinping has pursued a more aggressive foreign policy in an attempt to push back US influence in the East Asian region as well as globally. 
 
Japan’s foremost China-scholar, Professor Akio Takahara will deliver a lecture discussing these issues. The lecture will be followed by comments from Professor Kjeld Erik Brødsgaard, CBS.
 
 
The lecture is organized by the EU China Horizon project “Dealing with a Resurgent China” in cooperation with the Danish Foreign Policy Society.
