Is Jinping giving up on fascism and returning to his communist roots?
Maybe he felt like he was losing control?
I always speculated that eventually would destroy their economy knowing it would destroy the US economy in the process, and that China would be in better position to withstand it than the US.
Gave them a bit of freedom and the ungrateful wretches wanted more freedom.
China’s run by five families.....they will survive along with China regardless of any crackdowns. Their country and people have hit hard economic times often and know how to weather it all regardless of the losses. Their history shows as much. Though XI may not have his forever position.....there’s always someone in the wings should he not. But the country will survive any economic downturn.
For one thing Xi is going old school by trying to set up a cult of personality around himself.

To Xi, maintaining CCP control overrides EVERYTHING else.
He must be worried that allowing a middle class threatens that control.

FYI: Fascism came out of the Communist movement as a way to eventually implement Communism.
Xi was never a Fascist. You might imagine Dong and his successors as pseudo-Fascists, but hey were always communists first.
