China chases 'rejuvenation' with control of tycoons, society
Fox News
Chinese president Xi Jinping has a vision of making China more powerful and prosperous by reviving revolutionary ideals, with a tighter grip over society and entrepreneurs.
The party has spent the decade since then silencing dissent and tightening political control. Now, after 40 years of growth that transformed China into the world's factory but left a gulf between a wealthy elite and the poor majority, the party is promising to spread prosperity more evenly and is pressing private companies to pay for social welfare and back Beijing’s ambition to become a global technology competitor. To support its plans, Xi's government is trying to create what it deems a more wholesome society by reducing children’s access to online games and banning "sissy men" who are deemed insufficiently masculine from TV.More Related News
