The complex, contentious U.S.-China relationship is a high-profile issue President-elect Donald Trump will face in his second term. FRONTLINE’s timely investigation traces China’s emergence as one of the world’s wealthiest and most repressive countries, and the role of its longtime president, Xi Jinping.

Offering a comprehensive look at Xi’s vision for China and the broader implications — from his crackdown on Muslims in Xinjiang to his provocative ambitions for Taiwan — “China, the U.S. & the Rise of Xi Jinping” also probes the state of China’s economy and its trade war with the U.S., the hostile China-U.S. relationship, the ramifications and what may come next.
With China largely shutting out the international media, the two-hour documentary draws on interviews with former Chinese Communist Party members, exiled human rights and democracy activists, academics, authors and journalists to trace the events that shaped President Xi. It examines the trajectory of his life, from being sent to the countryside to perform hard labor during the Maoist revolution, to his embrace of the Chinese Communist Party and his rise through its leadership, to how he has tightened his grip throughout his presidency.

Trump doesn't care about anyone, nor our country, his only interests are for his personal gain.😢😢😢
The genocide carried out by Israel Zionist against the Palestinians backed by US administration is a million times more inhumane that the reeducation of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. In fact today they are happier than those chaotic times of terrorism. Go visit Xinjiang and see the truth for yourself.
What a horrible horrible world china wants to export to the rest of us all,china is on a road to ruin.
Excellent program, thanks
Bullshit😂😂😂😂
What happens in China is internal matters.
Others should just keep their noses out.

Most of his speeches r taken out of context to suit d narrative n objective set by your donor(s) to demonize China n him in western perception, to perpetuate d lies. Nowadays difficult to have independent journalism.
Hard to watch. My perception is that China is as it was: actively antagonistic toward its critics. Not all of the people, of course, but not none of them either.
This is simply west propaganda. The west is in fear of China.
This is psycho stuff this Chinese deal is horribly dumb stay away from politics and you can a job that might let have enough money to buy a car maybe might happen come on
Stay away from politics and you might be able to get low paying factory job yeah that idiotic please rebel you can live better universal healthcare

So many Chinese bots in the comments 😂
Practice of appeasement doesn’t work
Propaganda video.We should learn a lot from China.
It's the first time I have ever seen truthful and complete documentaries about the real China. It can help the western world with understanding where China comes from. What the Chinese government doing is covering up who they are and what they are doing to their people and the world. Don't ever be fooled by whatever Chinese official say, they pass on the power to control and brain wash not just Chinese but people around the world within their close circle and call themselves "the great people's leader and survivor". China is a cancerous cell to the whole world.
Why is the West afraid of being challenged? For a long time, they have acted as if they are untouchable. Look at what happened to the people of Iraq—they suffered and died under the pretext of the "weapons of mass destruction" narrative. And yet, we couldn't do anything.
We are fortunate not to be involved in a trade war. Our economic growth is what truly matters.
Really, if you don’t see the goal of global domination from China then you don’t understand the CCP culture. Win at all costs! I lived in China and experienced the people in power and their goals. Like you and me Chinese every people are awesome. The problem is CCP !!!!!

PBS, like other western main-stream media, is full of BS. Try to smear China with one-sided narration of China's history with incompetent and no credible sources? Well, the history of US is the darkest of all, full of slavery and killings. Even President Abraham Lincoln, who formulated the US constitution boasting freedom and democracy, was unwilling to free his slaves even when he died. Again no western media can be trusted. Long live China Communist Party!
This is just another free of charge propaganda. What is wrong if someone loves their country other than the US?
