All three political forces in China are currently mired in a quagmire

China’s current political forces can be categorized into three groups. They are: the Xi Jinping faction, or “the holder of Auctoritas Caelestis”; the military, which is China’s most powerful yet most vulnerable political force; and the “deep-mandate political forces,” which possess profound and substantial power but often struggle to unite their efforts.
China’s current political landscape has entered a complex and tangled phase. The three major political factions are all in a predicament. As for Xi Jinping’s faction, they hold significant “celestial authority” (Auctoritas Caelestis). However, they are suppressed by the “deep political forces” faction in terms of internal power-execution procedures. In terms of actual power, they are suppressed by the “military.” The “military” currently possesses the practical ability to control the situation. However, the “military” lacks the protection of the “celestial authority” (Auctoritas Caelestis). They are a classic example of a faction that is “both the strongest and the most vulnerable.” The “deep political forces” faction is not currently visible on the front lines. There are three possible reasons for this. First, they are unwilling to grant the “military” the armor of “celestial authority” (Auctoritas Caelestis). Second, the “military” is unwilling to cede too much power to them. Third, they have been deceived by “the faction currently holding celestial authority” into a dead end. Of these three factions, none is currently completely dead, nor is any completely alive. They all need to find a way out of this predicament. China’s current political turmoil may have a series of international repercussions.
