Xi Jinping's Father Author Joseph Torigian on how family tragedy, persecution, and loyalty shaped China's future leader through his father's Communist Party journey.

Very pleased to have @josephtorigian.bsky.social on the program to discuss his new book The Party's Interests Come First, a biography of Xi Jinping's father.

Thank you Bonny Lin for interviewing me about my new book for the @csis.org @chinapower.csis.org podcast!

Great talk at Stanford, and great first few chapters. And I’m not usually a big weighty biography guy. He’s got the excuse of Xi Jinping’s father having a totally wild life to illuminate the CCP as a very particular organization.
