    When Xi was picked, he was picked for the same reasons that Putin was picked - they looked like mild centrist candidates (ironic) Over the last decade, Xi hss focused a lot more on gaining authoritarian control over the party, the military, and the economy - using the law, and power plays. This has taken a lot of power from both the Capitalists, and the princelings.

    Ask Jack Ma if he is still happy with Xi.
