Xi Jinping's Health and Beijing's Succession Crisis

.

Is Beijing becoming a leaderless regime—even with Xi Jinping still in power?
Renewed questions about Xi Jinping’s health are drawing attention to a much deeper crisis inside the Chinese Communist Party: Who will succeed Xi, and who has the power to decide?
After more than a decade of concentrating power in his own hands, Xi has yet to name a successor. With the CCP’s Fifth Plenum approaching and the 2027 Party Congress on the horizon, Beijing faces growing uncertainty over its future leadership.
Could Xi hand power to a trusted lieutenant? Could rival factions clash over succession? And what happens if Xi suddenly becomes unable to govern?
Xi has made himself indispensable to the Communist Party. But can the Party survive without him?
