Chen Wenqing's Promotion to the Politburo
I'm watching carefully to see if any news comes out about Chen Wenqing, the former MSS minister who is now with the Central Political Legal Commission. But I think it's premature a lot of people on the Chinese any communist press are saying that this is bad for Xi Jinping. People are going to think he's incompetent and all that sort of thing. The power that he has accumulated at this point where there's even a draft law being considered to make the study of Xi Jinping thought mandatory for practically everybody. It is possible that eventually Xi Jinping will be voted out by people in the Central Committee for pursuing hairbrained schemes but I think that day is a long way off.
