Part 8/9:
Commentators have pointed out that Xi's weakened influence coincides with a notable shift toward a more pragmatically oriented approach among party elders, indicating a future where the CCP may need to navigate additional crises stemming from both economic and political pressures.
Concluding Thoughts
The CCP’s seemingly contradictory maneuvers reflect not only an urgent response to immediate economic challenges but also a deeper crisis rooted in historical governance challenges. As both internal strife and external pressures converge, the efficacy of the CCP's responses will be tested. The potential for economic collapse and social unrest looms large, revealing a critical juncture for China’s political and economic landscape.
