“[Xi Jinping] knows that if he were to fail, he wouldn’t get a nice house in the Chinese capital. He would be jailed; he’d lose assets; his family would be disadvantaged. He could even lose his life. So, the stakes are much higher for Xi Jinping.”
The year 2022 is the “make-or-break” for the leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Xi Jinping. This is the year he will make his bid for a third term as the autocratic leader of China.
