I have heard about those rumors as well. But I think it really depends on Xi's consolidation of power.Rumor has it that they are skipping on people born in the 60s and early 70s for paramount leader candidacy.

Wang Yang didn't accompany Xi on the 70th anniversary visit. Xi didn't go on that occasion. You can read the news report I posted Wang led the delegation.As for Wang's highly publicised visit to Tibet, well quite frankly the Chairman of the CPPCC manages the party's United Front strategy where non-party members, entities, and organizations provide input and feedback to the party's policies. With Tibet being an Autonomous Region, it falls into his work portfolio as far as the United Front and ethnic affairs is concerned working with the various delegations that represent Tibet's interests in the CPPCC. Wang also sits on the party's Finance and Economic Affairs Commission that crafts policies for poverty alleviation and the promotion of Common Prosperity... Tibet isn't exactly the most prosperous part of China now is it? As such it is well within party protocol for Wang to accompany Xi on his visit to Tibet. People, especially "China watchers" that really don't know much about how the CPC works or inner-party dynamics, are only making such a big deal out of it because Xi hasn't explicitly named a successor. There really aren't any tea leaves to be read based on Wang's "high profile appearance" accompanying Xi.
I'd refer you to this:Wang Yang didn't accompany Xi on the 70th anniversary visit. Xi didn't go on that occasion. You can read the news report I posted Wang led the delegation.
Thanks for the article. As per my reply to SanWenYu, I believe Wang Yang has good chance of staying in Politburo. The unaccompanied Tibet visit could be a sign of Wang's influence. As for who might be Xi's successor, it's still too early to tell.
Perhaps a new thread to continue? It's fun to speculate as the 20th party congress coming next year.Thanks for the article.

That website claims 80% accuracy but if you read their actual claims they're cherry picking or being intellectually dishonest.Thanks for the article.
