Great in-depth series
Binge-listened the series in one day. The series provides detailed information about the Chinese political system, its leader and doctrine, in a most enjoyable format to listen to. Hope the Economist will launch more of these series!

An absolute must!
So insightful and completely and utterly enthralling. A true Machiavellian story that has obviously been well researched. Such an interesting listen.
