I posted the below links almost a year ago on a theory I had…I attached a post from Red and an old one I did plus a graphic for background.
Any way this article was posted today on TET:

If what is being reported here is true…it may mean the theory, if not on target…at least is down range in the correct direction.

Anti-Xi Article Goes Viral, May Derail Xi Jinping’s Plans for Third Term

An article criticizing Chinese leader Xi Jinping was allowed to go viral in mainland China, reflecting the intense struggle among different factions in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its impact on Xi’s ruling.
China experts have said that Xi might not secure a third term, which will be revealed at the rubber-stamp legislature’s 20th conference in this fall, although Xi amended the constitution successfully in 2018 to remove term limitations.
“The 40,000 words long article listed mistakes that Xi Jinping has made in politics, economy, and diplomacy. It’s a summary of Xi’s ruling over the past nine years,” Li Hengqing, a China expert at the Washington Institute for Information and Strategy, told the Chinese-language Epoch Times on Feb. 8.
“After 2018, we all said that there’s no force to stop Xi from taking a third term. Now, we can see that the situation isn’t simple, and it’s unclear whether he can obtain it,” Li added.
He emphasized: “The article circulated broadly inside and outside of China. Even several friends from mainland China forwarded it to me [in the past days]. … It shows that the CCP factions against Xi are fighting to stop Xi from continuing in office.”
Xi became Chinese leader in November 2012 at the rubber-stamp legislature’s 18th conference, and won his second term in October 2017 at the 19th conference. The previous Chinese constitution ruled that each leader could only take two terms, which would have seen Xi retire in 2022. The amendment of the constitution paved the road to allow Xi to rule the country beyond the two terms—if he can secure support from the rest of the party leadership.
