Why do the Chinese believe Xi Jinping will step down soon?

.

Rumors about Xi Jinping being very sick have persisted on Chinese social media. I can’t ignore them because I found evidence that Xi’s news footage on July 29 was fake. Various versions of CCP leadership transition plans have appeared. Some have names and dates. One version claims that Xi’s mother and wife have intervened. Even if the rumors aren’t true, can Xi withstand the pressure of the overwhelming belief that he will be stepping down soon? One hundred years ago, rumors brought down a dynasty. Will history repeat itself?
