Maybe lol, but imo a lot of it is sensationalism to pander to the neocon crowd, and perhaps a bit of projection too given the state of the US. Either way the actual decision makers in US are still preparing for China to “overtake” them in the coming decade, at least judging by the trade wars, chip bans and the restructuring of the US military for multi-domain/near-peer conflict for 2028.

As for what's going on now, protests in China are usually focused on either replacing local officials or on policy, as these ones are over zero covid. It’s very rare to hear calls for the removal of CPC or the party leader (which wouldn't make much sense anyway given China's political structure), so I wouldn’t hedge on that being more than a small minority in places like Shanghai, but who knows, obviously can't get the full picture from the outside.



Considering the scale of the humanitarian crisis in the years following the USSRs collapse, I dread to think what that would look like in a country with 5x the population.

China will NEVER overtake the US. That all is just planning for worsr case scenario. Let me remind you that people thought Russia had a great army.

Something we gotta realize about these dictatorships is that ALL their numbers and statements are questionable and impossible to verify... then suddenly they collapse.

Having no term limits is not something unique to one political system. It's actually pretty common in liberal democracies, for example Merkel was German Chancellor and de-facto leader of the EU for 16 years, under parliamentary systems Prime Ministers can serve endless terms if one party dominates, US Supreme Court justices serve effectively until death and Senate/Congress reps can serve unlimited terms, etc.

In China's case term limits were removed from the state Presidency, which is mostly a ceremonial role (as it is in many nations). Xi, like the majority of China's previous "paramount leaders", holds much more influential positions which have never had term limits, notably General Secretary of CPC and Chairman of the PRC/CPC Military Commissions, for which like the presidency he is subject to election/selection by congress/politburo.

Also China =/= USSR. The internal/geopolitical situation and challenges faced by USSR in the years leading to its collapse are very different to those China face today.

Exactly.

Stop trying to spin it, Xi has become a proper dictator now. Thus, CCP's end is inevitable.
