Politically, China's system under Xi is so unstable that the political system will collapse upon his death or fall from power.

How does it differ from the system before Xi?

China was becoming, and became, a prosperous nation under the likes of Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin.

The CCP's contract with the people was to leave politics to the CCP and the party would deliver prosperity.

Xi Jinping is reversing all political and economic reforms of his predecessors and rules with more concentration of power than even Mao Zedong had, to the point that he has isolated himself from the CCP and any advisors.

Xi is so isolated, in fact, that he was unaware of the spy balloon incident until the US told him.

Xi believes that rampant prosperity has rotted the Chinese soul and wants to return the nation to back-to-basics Maoist ideology.

If he dies, won't the party just continue with its recent precedents?

Xi is amassing so much resentment towards the CCP via his back-to-basics rededication to Maoism that there is a severe risk of the Chinese people and powerful dynasties tearing the Chinese state apart - particularly as China is no longer a competitive labour market, having been eclipsed by SE Asia and India, meaning things are only going to get worse than they already are.

The CCP has broken its deal with the Chinese peoples: prosperity in exchange for political power.

His predecessors starved 50 million people to death by trying to feed them all equally. Somehow I think they will forgive Xi. If they are not starving, they will probably call it a communist success story. Maybe even if they are starving.

Mao starved 50 million Chinese peoples to death and he was lucky to survive it himself.

Being the consummate totalitarian politician he was, Mao exploited the people's anger by deflecting it to 'counter-revolutionaries' and started the Cultural Revolution - thus reasserting his absolute authority by killing or exiling all his former comrades and accusers - Xi's family included.

The Chinese people are unlikely to fall for that again.

Like warning about Alboism - many turn in circles saying:- "The Judean People's Liberation Front!!" ... never once fixing on the True Enemy Within ..

They know it happened. The Chinese are immensely better educated and exponentially more affluent than their peasant-farmer parents/grandparents were in the 50s and 60s.

And what they also know is that Xi's regressing the nation back to Maoism, and his own childhood, is heralding the end of the Chinese rapid economic ascent of the last 40 years.

You're assuming that the collapse of the CCP will lead to the rise of democracy and freedom of the press.

Potential challengers to CCP power and dissenters have a habit of disappearing and dying in China... Or are accused of crimes against the people and sentenced to life in prison.

Totalitarian systems are not meritocracies. Power is doled out to the power dynasties that control parts of the system, and usually only when their murder is more dangerous to the paramount leader than it's worth.

But Xi is closer in ruthless psychopathy to Mao than other former leaders were. He is systematically removing and destroying his potential opponents regardless of the personal risk to him or his family. To counter anyone getting close enough to him to end him, he meets with almost no one.

Simple - this is an example of racism.... how much is it going to cost you in 'rent money' to go down to the river/creek now for a barbie with your close family, now that the Ebony At The Gates is 'managing' it for you all - meaning imposing a fee to enter and use where it used to be free? While you dorks are sleeping and the media circus is playing up apparent 'divisions' between 'Aboriginal leaders' and Albo and Co over reasons for the loss of the voice idiocy - they are quietly going about implementing The Twenty Six Pages that never existed... organising for YOU to 'pay the rent' by other means with the aid (make that Mental/Intellectual AIDS) of the Labor controlled states, all marching in lockstep. The truth is so precious a commodity that it must be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies.... while you imagine Albo is falling out with the Ebony At The Gates, and apparently falling over himself to 'distance' himself from the voice result - he is setting it all in place behind your backs...... and Australia sleeps on...

How much are you prepared to pay out of your weekly family bills just to go down to the stream for a barbie like you used to - just another hidden way to 'pay the rent'? $60 per family? $80? $100? Then try to go to work and make ends meets when the food bills and the power bills and the petrol bills come in? Gotta pay your 'user pays' - it's all legit and all implemented while you slept, dorks.

This is like India handing over control of the water from the Himalayas to a tiny set of Muslims ... or China handing over to Uyghurs control over the water flowing into Beijing.... or Japan handing a free lease over Tokyo Bay to the tiny group related to the long-ago original inhabitants of the Japanese Islands....

Ebony At The Gates - an Albocorp Production ...
