Colleagues write that Xi Jinping is preparing for a large-scale personnel purge in the leadership of the party and the government. But it seems that Xi's main goal is not to strengthen his personal power.
Today, more than 2/3 of the members of the Politburo of the CPC are retired leaders.
More than two-thirds of Central Committee (Central Committee) members are expected to be replaced under institutionalized norms such as age limits, with similar levels of turnover expected in the powerful Politburo. The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC), China's top decision-making body, may include four to five new members, which suits Xi Jinping, who increasingly dominates the CCP structure.
With the exception of General Secretary Xi Jinping, who will remain, the generation raised during the Cultural Revolution will pass from the CCP leadership.
The "heir to the lamp" was a little sad that Xi Jinping could not change anything, not rejuvenate the leadership, and then his position as the elite retired leader would look reliable and unshakable. At the same time, younger cadres will be more inclined to question his authority over time. But apparently Xi is worried about what will happen to China after him. And he does not want to leave the country to his peers, who will doubtless give impetus to a new phase of development. In fact, Shay behaves as a sovereign owner, not as a temporary employee, and thinks about the inheritance.
Similar processes also emerged in our country, but they continue with a terrible noise and have not yet become irreversible.
