China’s political system is a darkroom, where we are
often left to speculate on all crucial issues. Event concerning Xi Jingping,
who has gone off the radar for the past days, has left the China scholars,
experts and professional commentators to think over hundreds of possible
reasons. Last week, Xi cancelled meetings with Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton and the prime minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong. On 9 September,
he failed to show up at a meeting with the Danish prime minister.
