With his anti-corruption purges, Xi has made a large number of enemies and he can never be sure where and how they would be plotting against him, as they used to against Mao. Therefore, Xi has to be on constant guard to eliminate any opposition. With concentration of power and decision-making in one person, chances of policy mistakes and misjudgements have increased.
On December 26, 2020, China's National People’s Congress approved several amendments in its defence law, rubberstamping President Xi Jinping’s proposal of transferring powers for making the national defence policy to the Central Military Commission (led by Xi) from the State Council (like the Cabinet).
Now the ‘gun’ will be commanded by Xi himself instead of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Participation of other Politburo members in defence matters, like in former President Hu Jintao’s time, will now be excluded. With his domination of policymaking role in virtually every area from politics, economics, military, diplomacy, internet, environment and other matters, Xi has been dubbed by his critics as the ‘Chairman of Everything’.
Other news trickling in from Beijing — anti-trust actions against industrialist Jack Ma’s Alibaba group, including the cancellation of its biggest IPO due to Ma’s dislike of Xi’s policies and arrest of more than 50 opposition lawmakers and activists in Hong Kong recently for alleged violations of the national security law — suggest a further hardening of the Chairman’s authoritarian posture.

Traitor Joe still had half his brain in that photo. Now it’s all gone.
That picture has to be photo shopped. Xi is too far away for him to have his hand up Joe’s a** working Joe’s jaw!
Chairman of Ping Pong.
Xi is modelling himself after Putin. He wants to be the absolute ruler and is creating a cult of personality, and eliminating anyone in his path. Of course this was all pioneered by Putin’s idol, Uncle Joe Stalin.
Chairman Cho Bidden
At least poor Xi has Joe firmly on his side ...
"Has been", meaning whatever critics he had are all past tense now.
Here’s the irony: China is a Fascist nation, exactly like Pre-WWII Germany. The central government runs everything but permits some private business to exist so long as it benefits the State and the owners toe the Party line.
Biden is their puppet.
And the Democrats call their Brown Shirts “Antifa”.
I just hope we get off this track before it leads to a US Great Depression 2 which ends in a WW3 against an expansionist China.
Being Supreme Leader is exhausting. 😉
Why not be honest and call himself Emperor. A new dynasty of oppression for his Chinese Empire.
He’s got the US now, too.
Biden is his “Quisling”.
Xi is presented as the new Mao, bigger than the party, and already on the right track in 1966

If he continues in this speed (this is from February http://paper.people.com.cn/rmrb/html/2021-02/23/nw.D110000renmrb_20210223_1-02.htm ) he will bypass the fat one in NK at the end of 2022.
