Xi Jinping's party purge prompts fears of greater Taiwan invasion risk

Xi Jinping’s purging of political rivals and elevation of loyalists to the top ranks of the Chinese Communist party has raised fears that his now unfettered and unquestionable power could increase the risk of an attack on Taiwan.

Beijing has pledged to annex Taiwan under a disputed claim that it is a Chinese province, and in recent years has increased its military activity and other forms of harassment and coercion. No timeline has been set, but senior defence figures have said China could be capable of invasion as early as 2027. Others point to Xi’s pledge of “national rejuvenation” by 2047 – the centenary of the People’s Republic of China – as a potential goal.

China has long been on a single party system, only one political party controls the country ever since and who ever is the head of the party automatically becomes the President, elections only happen at the barangay level, Xi Jinping is the head of party and head of state, he appoints the head of government (prime minister), and last 2018 the party has modified the constitution to remove the term limits for head of state and that makes Xi president until sawa

so not surprising talaga ang purging of rivals on a single party government
