Chinese Communist Party dictator Xi Jinping has mastered the art of political deception. His rise to power and his dictatorship rely entirely on lies, propaganda and manipulation, all of which he wields with consummate skill. Truth has become nothing more than whatever the Party proclaims, statistics are rewritten to fit the narrative, and dissent is branded as "treason". He masquerades as a leader of the people while stripping them of their freedoms.
