Forced ministerial swap reveals Xi’s fading grip on power

Two of Xi Jinping’s top ministers — overseeing personnel management and united front work — have just swapped jobs. The move is unprecedented in the history of the Chinese communist regime and points to major political turmoil brewing inside the Party. For a leader who built his power around total control of appointments, this is a warning sign. Two sources reveal that the decision to swap the ministers didn’t come from Xi himself but was forced upon him. Has Xi Jinping lost control over personnel decisions? Are we ready for even bigger political storms inside the CCP’s leadership compound?
