she jan ping's political journey has been epic from political exile during the upheavals of the cultural revolution to becoming the most powerful chinese leader since mousie dong in the 19 seventy's. china has been transformed since the mouth era, from a poor, inward looking country into a global superpower and the world's 2nd largest economy. analysts believe she goes into the congress in a strong position, and his appointment for a 3rd term is party chief, gives him more political muscle. they say the makeup of congress has also changed in his favor. ah, they found that there were many factions, many struggles on many disagreements with olds, and this is likely going to be the 1st one without fractional struggles since the establishment of the communist party of china. which means that she, jim ping, has taken control of everything. oh, she did, we need in some corner, each year she has taken a hard line approach to china's relations with the west,

particularly over self ruled taiwan. she wants tie one to revert to beijing's role by 2049. the st. henry of the foundation of the people's republic, he's not ruled out taking the island by force. his reluctance to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine has antagonized the west and his efforts to grab territory in the south. china sea have angered china's neighbors. relations with the united states or at their lowest ebb for years. while tensions between the e you and china could escalate if she strengthens his commitment to a confrontational foreign policy. while the rest of the world is easing cove, at 19 restrictions, china's authorities have intensified their efforts to contain outbreaks with strict locked downs mass testing and lengthy quarantines. this 0 covert approach is one of she's landmark policies. it's also turning into the most potent test of his

leadership so far as one person was arrested in beijing hanging a protest banner in the city. such, protest actions a highly unusual economic growth under she is suffering and fears of a global recession, triggered by the war in ukraine, have hit confidence. any hint of china's future direction will be followed closely around the won't. journalist bobby and cutback is in beijing and following the story for us. i asked him how serious the where should take. she's remarks over taiwan. ah, what i think the international community should take this or concerning statement. very seriously. definitely. i mean, m a but let me add some context. i mean, the wording was very strong, but it's, it's not really new. i mean, there were similar statements and also saying that i am no am a measurements can be ruled out in the, in the taiwan question. so it is not you. and most observers say that m a war

over taiwan in the next years is rather unlikely. and eci has become more unlike are likely because of the one ukraine because right now the uncertainty, uncertainties in, in terms of foreign policy are really very high. and the chinese leadership throughout rather risk a worse. but on the long term that the risk is there, and i think as cheating thing has made it very clear also, after all, what he said today that he is willing to pay the price in terms of economic consequences and that he prioritizes his political goals. and at one of his core, national interest is the taiwan question. he wants to unify and what he says, the motherland with taiwan. i think the west should take it very seriously. and you mentioned just now some of his political interests. she is almost certain to get his 3rd term in office. does that make his power absolute i mean, how absolute his power really is. nobody can say for sure, but every indicator says that his grip on power is very,

very firm. and clearly he's the most powerful lita since milestone. that is also very clear. and yet also his 3rd term. i mean anything else would be a sensation. so i'm expecting that is for sure. and what could be possible is that he would have to make some concessions or compromises when it comes to the economy . i mean, that depends on who will be the next prime minister and how much influence and he or she will have. and, but i'm only speculating here the big picture is that sheeting ping is very fun when it comes to his grip on power. right. and leave it there for now correspond fabi cuts right in beijing. thanks very much. and turning out to some other stories making news right now. greek island of crete has been battered by raging storms, causing rivers to overflow, and resulting and devastating flooding on man is drowned and others are reported. missing. authorities have asked residents to be vigilant and limit their movements . protesters, indonesia, capital tunis, f class with police in
