Interesting, thanks. I heard that real power in Communist China rests with no more than five families, extending back centuries. Communism is just grafted on top of the dynastic structure.
What is the truth of that?

Yes and there is a wiki page I saw that lists them. Xi comes from on of them. From what I gather they often ‘war’ with each other - Xi’s faction is on top but the other factions hate him and would kill him at the first opportunity.
