Xi is one of the "Second Generation Reds". The SGRs are the children of the high level founders of the PRC.

The only 'real' threat Xi would face is if he imperils the finances that the SGRs wish to pass on to their children. There are already rumblings that Xi's anti-corruption campaign is doing just that.

Xi is not the only power in China, just the current leader of the pack.

You stating that “The only ‘real’ threat Xi would face is if he imperils the finances that the SGRs wish to pass on to their children”....

Considering the traditional culture norms of China regarding family members I can see why that would be a huge issue for the SGRs regarding their children. Money and acquiring monetary ‘stuff’ is big their now for their kids - constantly trying to outdo their peers and very much 'a social status indicator' which they're far more wrapped up in then even here in the US. So their sense of achievement rests much in material wealth and 'qualifiers' in pretty much all areas of their life.
