| #13 You know they have to be thinking about it. Emperor Xi's big plan is an even bigger bust. The always rickety economy is heading down hard, so hard even they can't hide it. By thoroughly up-screwing the Wuhan virus, regardless of whether it was an intentional act or simple idiocy, the once unthinkable. highly charged idea of decoupling is now a voluntary act devoid of political stance. They may be commies, but they are not imbeciles. They have a problem that is more immediate than communism or poverty, and that's the not too bright tyrant, wanna be emperor. |

| #7 Seems like a smokescreen to flush potential coup people out, and/or to scare those thinking about it. |

| #6 A purge is still notable. This could mean that Xi felt (justifiably or not) threatened enough that he needed to wipe out the rest of the CCP's power brokers all at once. That would almost certainly hasten China's return to a Maoist-style political state, which no Chinese person other than Xi has seemed to want before this. If the economy crumbles to that degree as corrupt military corporate state transfers to outright communism, China will be unable to become a peer to peer power against the US. And frankly, that would be good news for everyone outside of China. |

| #5 BS. Smells like Stalin's 1936-era charges against "Trotskyites" and the "Right Opposition" |

| #4 If it were in any way a significant attempt they wouldn't be reporting it. |
