#4 The venue and timing were a masterful statement of despotic, Imperial power. The mass of rigid, emotionless faces avoiding any hint of surprise or interest in this confirms how total Xi is now in power. My guess is that even an internet inquiry about the soon-to-be hospitalized/warehoused Jintao will be grounds for persecution and reprisal. This sets the stage for the looming January-February invasion of Taiwan with no worry about internal resistance from the cowed Mandarins. As for that time period in DC, the clusterf*ck of the new Congress and the political realignment of lobbyists and dark money will quell any Biden response besides risible bluster. |

#2 It's not beyond the realm of possibility that the old boy massively nadlered himself and Emperor Xi wasn't going to sit next to that. On the other hand, the faces of the various party members that he passed before would suggest otherwise. Probably curtains for the poor devil. |
