We're back!! After the Christmas holidays, it's time to bring you the final episodes in our series on the decline of democracy.
Today, we take a closer look at the Chinese Communist Party. Under Xi Jingping, China has sought to undermine democratic nations and to export its authoritarian form of government to other countries. What does this mean for the future of liberal democracy around the world?
