Xi has gotten rid of anyone who might threaten his rule. As usual this means that he’s gotten rid of anyone who is competent. The next step will be more executions as the toadies and sycophants who are left fail at their tasks. Just the same old totalitarian playbook.
Reminds me of....oh. The US.
At the end of the day though, no matter how many people you murder, when people get hungry enough, the dictator will fall.
