China’s leader Xi Jinping is a ‘mafia don’ at war with rivals – and a threat to world, top dissident warns

"The knives are out for China’s paramount leader Xi Jinping as he tries to position himself as dictator for life. And even if he succeeds, his lust for power will continue to foment opposition – and prompt decisions that threaten global security, a leading dissident has warned in astonishing exposé of back-stabbing, nepotism and corruption in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)."

"Cai Xia, who was a professor at the CCP’s Central Party School for 14 years before fleeing the country in 2012 after criticising Xi’s policies, describes the paramount leader as a “mafia don”, whose family connections allowed him to rise without trace through the ranks of the CCP, despite mediocre accomplishments, missteps and black marks over favouritism."
