Ahead of the 20th Party Congress, where President X iJinping is expected to secure an unprecedented third term, former Tsinghua University political science professor Wu Qiang speaks about a "transformation of the party" during the leader’s first ten years in power.
"(Xi Jinping) wants to become the successor to Mao , and even wants to make China the sole rightful inheritor of the global Communist movement today," Wu says in a small, book-strewn apartment on the outskirts of Beijing. He is one of the last Chinese academics who refuses to be silenced by the Communist Party's crackdown on intellectuals.
