8:08 pm
congress in the great hall. the people constitutional changes cement. it is dominance. he also check up the party senior ranks promoting several allies. earlier i asked china specialist mary gallagher at the university of michigan. what she's consolidation of power is likely to mean well, it's definitely the case that he's completely centralized power around himself. he's promoted all of his people into the policy or a standing committee. so there are no actions anymore to balance against him. it seems to indicate that he will have a lot of latitude to promote the policies that he's been discussing. and it's really unprecedented in the last 2 decades. we haven't seen the centralization of power around a single person. they also want to talk about the situation for women in china. there will be no women in the poet bureau for the 1st time in 25 years. does that mark a step back when it comes to women's rights in china? i would say it does. i think there are also
8:09 pm
a lot of other signs that we can point to that also show that women's rights and women's positions and politics are going to be on a downward trend. it's not, it isn't even just this. it's a bunch of things that have happened over the last several years. there's been more discrimination against women in the workplace after they lifted the one child policy. so that's very hard for women to advance professionally. we've seen crackdowns on feminist activists and we've seen and she didn't things own words putting much more emphasis on this idea that women have a special traditional role in the family. and why do you think we're seeing this return to more traditional conservative politics? i think the chinese communist party has always been quite conservative when it comes to gender equality. they have advanced gender equality. early on in the, in the 900 fifties women have never reach the pinnacle of power. and when they have like, during the culture about revolution, it was seen as
8:10 pm
a very negative thing to have happened. so i don't, i don't think this is going to be a new trend but rather doubling down on something that has always been really strong in the communist party. but i think there is one important reason now and i think it's the economy. i think there and the demographics, so there is a slowing economy and the government will put more emphasis on male employment over female employment. plus they want to boost the birth rate. so not just seeing the child policy relax, we actually now see women being encouraged to have birds. and in fact, in some cases, being discouraged to have abortions. a reason we've seen women web protests around the world, for example, in russia and iran, just before i let you go, what do you think the chances are of seeing a similar kind of movement in china? well, she did thing before the concentration of power that we see in his 3rd term. he's been very deliberate and i think very smart in cracking down on all types of social activism. so we've seen labor, we've seen the media,
