Chinese President Xi Jinping
Chinese President Xi Jinping has been completely missing from public life for the last two weeks. No speech, no picture nor any official program. Now that it has become clear that they will not participate in the BRICS conference to be held in Brazil, the question has become deeper whether there is a big change in the power of China?
Xi's absence and the silence of the Chinese Communist Party has intensified speculation that if the power of Xi Jinping is really weakening, then who will be the next leader? Let's know the name that is most discussed in the power circle of Beijing at this time.
Lee Kyang: Prime Minister and Jinping's most trusted
Lee Kyang was made the Prime Minister of China in 2023. He is considered close to Xi Jinping for a long time and his strict administrative attitude during the COVID lockdown in Shanghai brought him to new heights of leadership. Recently, he also represented China on international forums like G20, indicating that the party is ready to make him an international face.
General Zhang Usia: Possible successor on army's strength
Zhang Usia is currently the first vice president of the Central Military Commission (CMC), that is, the most powerful person after Jinping in PLA. Reports say that Zhang's role has increased in the decisions in the army during the absence of Jinping. He also has the support of former President Hu Jintao's faction, which makes him a strong successor.
Zhao Lizzie: Constitutional grip and administrative experience
Zhao Legey is a senior member of the Politburo Standing Committee and has previously been the head of China's anti -corruption campaign. At present, they are looking into legal and legislative cases. In the party, he is considered a leader who works wisely and can take everyone along.
Wang Huning: Craftsman of the party's ideology
Wang Huning is considered the 'Think Tank' of the Chinese Communist Party. He has worked with three presidents and has played an important role in creating ideologies like 'Xi Jinping Thought'. Although they lack administrative experience, they can be very important in the role of kingmaker.
Ding Shwieshiang: Jinping's closest aide
Ding, who has been the Chief of Staff of Xi Jinping, is one of the rare leaders who have not had the experience of provincial rule. This means that his political stature stands only on the trust of Jinping. If there is a sudden change in the party leadership and the choice of jinping goes on, then Ding can be the main contenders.
Is there a stir at the center of China's power?
Xi Jinping should not be seen quietly for two weeks and then distance from a big stage like BRICS, it cannot be considered just a coincidence. The discussion has now intensified amid recent dismissals in the army, cracks within the party and ideological changes that there can be a big upset in China's politics.
