Qin Gang’s mys­te­ri­ous re­moval and dis­ap­pear­ance is un­set­tling for Chi­na’s elite pol­i­tics and Xi’s im­age of ‘sta­bil­i­ty’

The protests show how Xi’s over-cen­tral­i­sa­tion is ex­pos­ing the CCP to pub­lic anger un­seen since Tianan­men Square.

At the 20th CCP Con­gress more Xi loy­al­ists will take top po­si­tions, but ‘who af­ter Xi’ ques­tions will grow.
