Xi Jinping Will Not Live More Than Five Years

Lin Biao's plane crashed, and five years later Mao died; Zhang Youxia was discarded, how many more years can Xi live?

Lin Biao was a sharp knife in Mao's hand, cleaning out the civil and military generals who were dissatisfied with Mao, leaving the few remaining to be completely obedient. In 1971, Lin Biao was forced to flee abroad and was shot down by Mao and Zhou's missiles in Wendurhan, leaving not even a complete corpse. However, Mao collapsed—his body collapsed, and his spirit collapsed. He no longer had the energy to give the highest instructions to the people, because he knew his credibility was completely exhausted. When he relied on Lin Biao's power to purge officials round after round, he could always pin various charges on them, while Lin Biao's status grew higher and higher, until finally, he could no longer be promoted and could only be written into the constitution as the successor. But, such a 'close comrade-in-arms,' Vice Chairman Lin, suddenly defected. Mao had lied his whole life, but could no longer fabricate charges that could deceive the people around him. Thus, the remaining time was days passing like years, until he finally died of old age in the fifth year. During this period, although high-level figures no longer believed him, but they did not dare to do anything to him because his absolute prestige and control techniques made anyone afraid to have second thoughts. Even in the last two years, when he frequently fainted and was on the brink of death, Ye Jianying, who held military power, wanted to move against him but feared being dealt with by the Gang of Four and other leftists, and was blocked by Zhou Enlai, because a dead Zhuge Liang scares a living Zhongda; Zhou was simply too afraid of Mao, fearing he might suddenly come up with a trick he hadn't thought of. Compared to this, Zhang Youxia is Xi Jinping's Lin Biao. Starting from Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou, through round after round of purges, until today's 'no generals in the army,' it all relied on Zhang Youxia's sword to maintain order. Now that Zhang has been eliminated, Xi does not have the prestige Mao had at the time, being hailed as a god, so other remaining officials will not let him slaughter them at will, because they are all well aware of the history of Mao's later years. What follows will be work-to-rule, combined with waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Xi Jinping. Because they all know that if even Zhang Youxia cannot protect himself, no one is safe. In short, although Xi is younger than Mao was in 1971, it will be difficult for him to live another five years, because: First, he has a history of stroke, which could recur at any time. Second, he does not have authority like Mao's to suppress people's hearts. Third, the remaining officials all want to take the opportunity to purge him to death. In short, I believe Xi will also not live more than five years.
