Given the recent year+ of shenanigans, Xi seems to be in a similar dynamic. The unfortunate thing is that the Chinese are suffering, and will continue to suffer, greatly for it. 😔

"China's final warning" (Russian: последнее китайское предупреждение) is a Russian proverb that originated in the former Soviet Union, to refer to a warning that carries no real consequences.
