Just over a decade ago, President Xi Jinping was a virtual unknown. Few would say that now. In ten years, he’s reworked the Chinese Communist party, the military and the government so that he’s firmly in control. He’s also vanquished all of his obvious rivals.

Celia Hatton, the BBC’s Asia Pacific Editor, speaks to fellow China watchers to find out.
