    >Another diplomat in Beijing adds that official party rhetoric signalled Xi planned to stay indefinitely and was preparing the nation for difficult times: “They are girding themselves for a 15-year struggle.”

    >However, the concern is that if the succession question remains unresolved, the party, and China, could easily enter one of its periodic episodes of political chaos, jeopardising not only Xi’s legacy, but the party itself.

    >“With regards to elite politics at the very top, the Xi Jinping era has been much more stable than many previous eras of modern Chinese history,” says Torigian. “But it is also unsustainable because he is mortal.”

    The reality is no one knows, they are all generic NPC bureaucrats with no personality from outside perspective. I bet 90% of Chinese citizens cannot name all 7 members of Politburo, most of them just know Chairman and Premier’s name that’s it.

    Since Bo Xilai, for ~15 years, one ever genuinely generated “populist support” from general public.

    Inb4 Li Keqiang, when even he was still alive, hated in Henan (some things he did during his governorship there) and most interior northern countryside, also coastal province of Zhejiang (backing P2P crypto scams and it crashed). Although popular support never mattered anyways

    Loji, the Long March AGI, will lead China to victory after victory, triumph after triumph
