Currently there is no description available for Joseph Torigian.
“Xi has spent his whole career hardening the country for precisely this moment. He likely believes that the Chinese political system is superior to the American one because it has greater cohesion and discipline. He probably thinks the Chinese people will sacrifice for a mission of national rejuvenation. The Chinese population may not be in a sacrificial mood after Covid. The economy has struggled to rebound. I doubt very much that Xi Jinping is blind to that problem. Even if you think you have a strong repressive capacity to hurt doubters and a jingoistic story to rally supporters, economic dislocations are still dangerous because you never know how bad they will get and whether they will turn into something worse.”
