Xi Jinping, the most ambitious Chinese leader since the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, has outlined his extravagant ideas about the future. On the other hand, Xi shows at least the beginnings of tolerance when dealing with China’s infamous campaign against the Falun Gong. Websites even mentioning Falun Gong were wiped out. Xi doesn’t mention Falun Gong in his speeches but he favours traditional Chinese religion because it could enrich China’s culture. While he’s not proposing to make China a democracy, he’s now confident enough to break the pointless laws an earlier administration introduced.
