In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu discusses the accelerating trend of financial flight, and whether the Chinese Communist Party can stop China’s wealthy elite from leaving the country. Next, Miles reviews Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party leadership election, the upcoming election for prime minister, China’s response to the current slate of candidates, and Beijing’s desired outcomes. Finally, Miles comments on the recent purge of Liu Jianchao from China’s International Department, and Xi Jinping’s efforts to concentrate the CCP’s foreign affairs and diplomatic dialogue under a more centralized authority.
