I guess he doesn't want to be canceled like Jack Ma, the founder of Ali Baba (the Chinese equivalent of Amazon) who included a minor criticism of Xi in a speech and sort of disappeared from sight (one or two low grade sightings at minor meetings to prove they haven't offed him, but no comments etc).
