@MrHaydnSir

now this feels like a classic Vox video

@PhilipJackson03

Deng Xiaoping once said “Hide your strength, bide your time.” 

Xi certainly heeded those words.

@youzhang9201

going out of Beijing to other province and even rural area is not simply Xi's strategy, it's actually a political tradition for people who want to go to the high level in the central government in China even at ancient time. It's a kind of training system for central government. Both in ancient China and nowadays PRC,  most of the high level central government leaders have some experience of governing local governments.

前十句有7句都是假的...什么叫流放,在过去上山下乡这种事情是每个人都需要做的事情,这是积累劳动经验的必要措施,也是公职人员积累基层阅历的必经之路,就算是现在的公务员也是一样的,下基层靠近群众、了解群众也是常有的事情,什么流放流放,好好的一个国家能被你们从古至今黑了个遍,连客观都没有的是吗?那你们又是怎么美国的呢?把印第安人都种族灭绝了,杀了几千万人,这种事情评价了吗?

@oaduloju

This was very informative. You should turn this into a series on world leaders including Netanyahu, Erdogan, Putin and MBS

@ordisigipma7064

Vox should continue doing this type of videos

@joezhou6221

Most of the content is very good, but Xi Jinping did not leave Beijing to go to the bottom to escape anything. For most officials in China to be promoted, going to the bottom is a must. After the Cultural Revolution, after Deng Xiaoping resumed his work, most officials and their families were rehabilitated. There is no danger. Going to the bottom is just to accumulate political capital.

@tokenblackwoman127

He really played the long game to gain power.

@jasonshen7600

4:55 Those Chinese character they are carrying on their backs are meant to teach the troops how to identify and write Chinese while marching, which is why the red army had a much high literacy rate than the nationalist later in the civil war.

@mnrbrt

I wonder if Xi can also hear this intense background music in his daily life.

@TheButterflyEffectalternative

I’ve been waiting for a content like that

@ProdigalGeek

Thank you for proving that journalism and education today doesn't need to have unnecessary humour to be entertaining. This is amazing stuff.

@nathangillingham5734

Xi studied chemical engineering at university, not philosophy. The program at the time required 15% of student's time be committed to studying Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and 5% of the time doing work in the country side.

@trangha1147

He did the classic moves. "If you want to change the game, join the game and eventually be the game."

@HistoryThroughNarration

Amazing video, the delivery is outstanding. Hope one day i can edit like this!

@Kabutoes

This is the craziest revenge story I’ve heard of

@TimeBucks

This episode was very informative

@EricBrewer-u5w

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

@ReyHeaney-g6c

Really clever explanation and no unnecessary verbiage! Respect! + subscription
