100% agree that a lot of these “Xi is getting removed” articles are just clickbait. Though there will come the time when some articles may be true unless Xi has a sudden death. So, while I think we should be skeptical of this type of content, it should also look at what’s being said because they might onto something at some point.
I get your point, but the author is well aware of the distinction and I think she's deliberately referring to the increasingly ambiguous use of 党中央 over the years, including where it seems questionable whether it's used only as shorthand for the Central Committee (I remember debates years ago about "who is The Party Centre?", with the idea that in some instances 党中央 might be starting to imply Xi rather than the CC). She's written on this before as have several other people, so while I'm absolutely no authority on the linguistic nuances myself, I'm pretty sure this is a conscious word choice she's making in that context, not a translation error.
PRC continues to impress. Western countries along with India could take a few pages out of China's book by investing in social & infrastructure to improve the lives of their citizens. 800 MILLION lifted out of poverty. Wow.
Thank you for this truly valuable analysis. BB is so deep in it that I can barely parse him most of the time. As a textual “reaction vid,” I loved this. Great content, big up Jordan!!!
Only 90% that Xi lasts to year end? Feels like free money

I take issue with translating 黨中央 as "party center" ( which would be 黨中心）. 黨中央 is short for 黨中央委員會 just as 中旅社 is short for 中國旅行社.
