WHAT WOULD BE XI JINPING'S NEXT MOVE?

Now that he had consolidated his position as President for life (almost), he would be working on:

1. Annexing more land to China (Arunachal Pradesh of India, Taiwan, Some of the islands belonging to Philippines, the north east side of Bhutan, most of the Pangong lake valley in Ladak etc.)
2. Completely re-energising the Chinese army and building higher capacities within it
3. Fighting indirect wars with USA (at times spilling over to sea skirmishes with USA and allies, in South China Sea)
4. Trying to take full control of WTO
5. Completely localising Hong Kong & Macau, may be, cancelling the ‘one country, 2 system’ mode
6. Acting brutally on the those satellite countries that had availed huge Chinese loans but unable to pay back (remember, China's  Belt and Road initiatives) in the past for infrastructure and facilities and makng them Chinese stooges on world scene.
7. Taking cutting edge leadership in technology, engineering, electronics, IOT, 5G, space & missile technologies, nuclear technology, healthcare technology etc., even outdoing USA & Europe
8. Controlling Chinese billionaire entrepreneurs and to a large extent, taking over/ managing their enterprises.
9. Doing everything possible to make the Xi thought on ‘common prosperity’ successful, in order to manage the citizens, by making them happy.
10. Increasing the gap between him and next in line in CCP thus making sure that no alternative leader to him emerge within It.

However at all points in time, he may have to watch over his shoulder as 1. world opinion can shift, 2. the Islamic word can go against him in support of Uighur muslims, 3. some smart Alec can come up in CCP politburo gaining support from majority with in it and 4. social media technology oriented denizens catching him in his act.

That’s about it. Let us keep watching China.........
