Why Xi Jinping Put the Communist Party Above China’s Survival | Digging into China

Why is Xi Jinping willing to damage China’s economy in ways that seem obviously self-defeating? In this deep dive, we uncover the fundamental shift that separates him from Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao.

While previous leaders treated economic growth and Party survival as equally important, Xi has made a decisive choice: the Communist Party’s continued rule comes before everything — including national prosperity.

From crushing private entrepreneurs and reasserting Party control over businesses, to silencing dissent and adopting wolf-warrior diplomacy, every major policy flows from this single priority.

Drawing on Xi’s own words, historical context, and specific decisions, this video reveals how his Mao-style mindset is reversing decades of reform — and why his apparent victories may ultimately prove fatal for both his rule and China’s future.

The greatest reverse-gear emperor in modern Chinese history? The evidence is compelling.
