Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Now he's reaping the fallout of it.Xi made the mistake of centeralizing power unto himself in a way not seen since Mao sure it gave him power but when things fuck up blame is also concentrated. And this is all before the Chinese economy implodes or they piss some one off enough where they keep oil shipmints from getting to china.
It's a two-sided coin. Do good things with absolute authority and the majority will not complain. Do bad things and everyone will complain.
He got the full package. People complain in China no matter how many disappear and outside China's buddies are reconsidering their relationship when China has been botching their qurantine efforts.
