After Xi’s rumored stroke last month, now Xi has disappeared from public view so far. Rumors of a power struggle behind the scenes with possible step down with a must appear with the state visit from new leader of Vietnam this month.

Xi has dedicated his life with dismantling the reforms of Deng and centralizing all power on himself, having all of China depend on him to function. This makes power struggles even more dangerous, with possible worldwide ramifications.

Just my opinions.
