I enjoyed this though democratic centralism means we're not going to be privy to the actual infighting, resulting in rampant speculation, leading to political miscalculation, which can in turn result in war. Thank you for the cheng yu , they would have been even better with the hanzi, very few people use cheng yu in English. I don't think Xi is incompetent. Excoriating him is probably foolish. I do think he is actually communist, and also think he is trying to prove to himself and the party, that his father and family were not in the wrong. I might be somehow mistake, which is why I write these words. I shall try to reread your article later, it is well written and fully packed so I do think it needs a rereading.
Interesting read! Though I am not sure this cohort has much clout or relevance today, and that’s not just because of Xi’s grip on power. As the author himself correctly put it: it’s a mule aristocracy, even worse than UK’s House of Lords in terms of political relevance
