> If Xi was so unconfident in his legacy that he could not find a worthy successor in the usual amount of time, what did that say about him? And about China after Xi?

It got me thinking: Here we have Angela Merkel, who was German Chancellor for 16 years in a democracy and is stepping down because she wants to do something else, vs Xi Jinping who has to maneuver to remain in power.
