Question: if you check families of the top people, they all seem to be children of former high-level dignitaries. Are they somehow stopping birth of a neoaristocracy ruling class, or is the PRC simply too young (2-3 generations) for that to become noticeable yet?
Wasn't Xi Jinping the son of a guy who got kicked out of the gov? Doesn't sound very high level to me.
The NPC has over 3000 members, many of whom do not fit that description. I suppose it would be accurate to say beauracracy could form, but Xi Jinping's campaign was built up off of strong anti-corruption protections and purging of opportunists from the party.
