Party taking over government, report says.

The annual report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission will reveal that communist control over China's 1.4 billion people has increased and notes the "Party-ification" of the Chinese government.

Everyone is against it, and just who is "everyone?" If "everyone" consists of government officials themselves, then this power grab will not stand.

Could Xi be ousted? If so, who replaces him? It has long been my contention that any replacements for Xi or Putin for that matter will be even worse for America. As such, extreme care should be taken not to try and destabilize those governments.

I suspect that if Xi is ousted the new person will continue the same "power grab" except probably more so. As has been said "meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
