Once the Chinese old guard (Jiang, Zhu, Song Ping, exc) will start falling it will be a domino effect. Just it's taking an awful lot of time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,715 Posted May 22, 2022 Voted for Jinping because I still don't completely believe the stuff on Putin's health. Even if he goes on tv and announces he has cancer, I'll believe it only when I see him dead...but I hope it'll happen very soon. The Chinese old guard hasn't started dropping yet but I agree there will be a lot of funerals there soon. Lots of centenarians and nonagenarians and Jintao's generation isn't that young anymore either. I find it interesting how Chinese doctors manage to somehow fix them or keep them alive no matter how dying they seem to be. Like Hu Qili who was according to RFI critical and dying in 2018.
