Many investors in these stocks are from the west or read western news. They'll have been bombarded with a stream of "news" articles claiming that Xi is going to move the focus from the economy to security and doesn't care about GDP growth anymore. 3.9% GDP growth is actually decent, given the circumstances.

Xi might feel safer to appoint a successor in 2027. If he did it now, he'd become a lame duck. Once he's powerful enough, he can overrule the official president without holding any office, like Deng did

Qualified candidates only. MBA and Finance guys ie George Soros types need not apply.

Thankfully no Gender Studies or Critical Race Theory graduates here too...

But do scientists make good politicians? Many do but I also Intend to think in politics, especially international politics you need people who are willing to be manipulative and creative in their thinking. not to say scientists aren't creative but in certain situations, people like lawyers and public relations can be very helpful.

Eh, seems like they already have had some political experience at the very least (for some years), so they have problably been judged/assessed.

Not to mention that they will most likely get their own area of expertise/area of responsibility in whatever their field is.

All in all, shouldn't be that big of a problem.

Xi is good.
My only "complain" from this Parry Congress is the severe underrepresentation of women in all political levels. The CPC should do more to attract more women and pay attention on cultivating them for political positions.

24 people on the Politburo and not a single woman! Not even one for token purposes lol

Bro I have nothing against women BUT seeing the collective west Female leaders I'm glad China didn't follow the trend, just look at Liz Truss, the Finnish PM Sanna Marin, the Baltic Chihuahua Ingrida Šimonytė and Kaja Kallas, the Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, the former PM of Sweden Magdalena Andersson's and of course US VP Kamala Harris. With such qualities NO wonder the Chinese said NO!

I imagine the retirement age has a factor in it as well. Also, I doubt there is a decent pool of qualified female candidates for the given age bracket in the first place. Probably would have some changes in 1-2 generations time wise since it’s not like a lot of them were policially involved 30-50 years ago.

The Chinese pursued meritocracy for more than several thousand years, so not a single role is wasted. You might want to go to a re-education camp because that Western token culture is clearly stuck in your head ;)
