WNU Editor: Regular readers of this blog know that for the past few years I have been putting up posts explaining the growing dissent within China's political/economic establishment against the rule of Xi Jinping.

But within the Communist Party itself, I can say with confidence that absolute loyalty to President Xi is not there. Certainly not among the many people that I know in China.
