Most likely an administrative clean-up, but why now?
Good piece. Given the redundant membership of a lot of these commissions and ministries, it makes sense to streamline.
I’d view it as a sign that there are fewer perceived competing centers of power.
I just don't believe Xi has any succession planning in the near future, although this has certainly always been his preoccupation in the long term.
Maybe he's getting older and needs to hand off specific work to his subordinates so he can think about big-picture problems, like Mao.
some uncanny resemblance surfacing... Mao famously met Nixon at his home in ZNH in his PJs during his later years.
while not in his PJs, the big boss has certainly developed a keen interests for home meetings lately.
