On Today's Show

On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:

First, Fareed gives his Take on developments in China, and why "every policymaker, business executive and investor" should be paying attention.

"Chinese scholars say it is now clear that China is entering a new era with a new system. Since the Communist Party took power in 1949, it had roughly 30 years of Mao's rule. That was followed by roughly 30 years of Deng and his system. It is now clear that we are in the third era, which might be 30 years of Xi. Is anybody in Washington paying attention?"

Next, Fareed hosts a panel to dig deeper into the news that the Chinese Communist Party will drop presidential term limits. What can we expect from Xi Jinping? Is US-China confrontation inevitable? Joining Fareed to discuss this and more are Elizabeth Economy, director of Asia Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, and Evan Osnos, a staff writer for the New Yorker.

Also on the show: Fareed is joined by former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to discuss her new documentary "American Creed," divisions in America, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, democracy promotion, Russian interference in the 2016 election, and more.

Watch Rice discuss gun control and the Second Amendment

Plus: The Academy Awards ceremony takes place Sunday evening. Joining Fareed to discuss a new report (PDF) on diversity in Hollywood are Darnell Hunt, the report's lead author and the dean of social sciences at UCLA, and Lynda Obst, producer of movies including "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Contact," and author of "Sleepless in Hollywood."
