Do you think that Xi's enemies might use this as a wedge to force himout in some sort of power struggle?The result will likely be an economic glitch, but as China neither has a free market fetish nor an austerity one it'll be more easily dealt with than similar issues in "The West". Self inflicted harm is generally the easiest sort of harm to prevent, and a very large chunk of the damage caused by such economic issues has been self inflicted like austerity.
Sure, that's a possibility. How much of one I have no idea. Heck, he could use such an issue to discredit them, instead; it would depend on who manages to shift the blame to whom.Do you think that Xi's enemies might use this as a wedge to force himout in some sort of power struggle?
A distinct possiblity, Avernus. I guess it would in the end depend on who moves first and fastest. I am not a China expert, so do we know who might replace Xi, if he is "retired" by the rest of the folks?Sure, that's a possibility. How much of one I have no idea.

How do you even go from 'public debt' to 'assassination'?A distinct possiblity, Avernus. I guess it would in the end depend on who moves first and fastest. I am not a China expert, so do we know who might replace Xi, if he is "retired" by the rest of the folks?
Probably reads to many early Communist histories.How do you even go from 'public debt' to 'assassination'?
China is nominally Communist, and historically Communist societies tend to solve political disputes fatally.How do you even go from 'public debt' to 'assassination'?

This thread is about China, not India.This is what happens when you build a castle on sand.

So, do you see Xi as survivng a potential economic breakdown?China is nominally Communist, and historically Communist societies tend to solve political disputes fatally.
Of course China is Communist in name only at this point so that doesn't really apply anymore. Xi isn't Mao.
Maybe? It depends on how big the breakdown is, and how firm his grip is at the moment it happens.So, do you see Xi as survivng a potential economic breakdown?
China defaults, and the Yuan totters ner collapse. let us say.Maybe? It depends on how big the breakdown is, and how firm his grip is at the moment it happens.
Rather "EU collapsing any day now", because at least, the working fusion reactor is literally being built right now.Jesus, for the last 20 or even more years. On daily bases and I mean literally on daily basis, there has been prediction of China crumbling from one crises or another from some fake or misinterpreted info and or simple wish and a prayer.
At this point China crumbling is up there with a working fusion reactor and the cure for baldness.
