On Friday, we received confirmation that Xi Jinping lost control of the military. Today,
@jenniferzeng97 reports Xi’s movements have been restricted. There are, however, indications that he’s still in charge. So what’s going on? My guess is that Xi’s adversaries do not want to show China’s people and the world that the regime is in turmoil but they do not want Xi to have any real power. He’ll stay on as a figurehead.
