Xi’s appointments to the Politburo Standing Committee and the Central Military Commission include loyalists who share his vision of a stronger China. Chen Min’er, a rising star who is seen as a possible successor to Xi, is among those selected for the powerful positions.
These loyalists are expected to continue Xi’s efforts to strengthen the Communist Party’s control over all aspects of society, including crackdowns on dissent, increased censorship, and the expansion of China’s massive surveillance state. This could lead to increased tensions with other countries and a more aggressive foreign policy.
However, Xi’s supporters point to his ambitious plans for economic and technological development, as well as his efforts to combat corruption within the party. They argue that his leadership has been instrumental in China’s rise as a global superpower.
As Xi begins his potential third term in office, it remains to be seen how his loyalists will shape China’s future and its relationships with other countries around the world. Nevertheless, his consolidation of power has raised concerns about the lack of checks and balances on his authority and the potential implications for global stability.
