Despite China’s increasing economic and geopolitical issues, leader Xi Jinping is pushing for another term at the top job

At the upcoming 20th National Congress, President Xi is expected to hold onto authority.

This means the Communist Party leader would remain as President for another 5 years.

The move has never been done before by a Chinese leader. However, comes as no surprise because it was Xi that scrapped the presidential term limits. This has made his road to power an unchallenged breeze.

However, the move comes amid rising tensions in China as Covid cases surge, businesses crumble and international tensions boil over.

China continues to strive for it zero-covid policy, despite the rest of the world learning to live with the virus. Recent outbreaks in the country have forced millions of its residents into lengthy lockdowns.

Economically, businesses are struggling to survive off the back of the prolonged lockdowns. The people of China are beginning the struggle with the cost of living, unable to enjoy the normal pleasures of life in the country.

More broadly, tensions in Taiwan and China’s mission to reunify the region have caused geopolitical tensions.

The past few months have been anything but smooth sailing for President Xi, although the chaos has not dampened his mission to remain in power.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
