That's correct, ramana.
That's why I said before that the rumours of his earlier disappearance and latest speculation of him likely being replaced were just that, rumours, howsoever we all wished them to be true.

In China, protests in their hundreds (or even thousands sometimes) happen every day all over. The State, PAP and the MSS handle them effectively. Though anything is possible, the PSC is stuffed with those hand-picked by XJP and are unlikely to revolt. It is the Politburo that we have to look at for any signs of dissension, if at all. AFAIK, there is no great threat for XJP at this point though the social compact he entered into with the Chinese society of giving them xiaokang & fuqiang, look to miss the timeline or even all together, unless Trump does something stupid.

If you follow all the various outlets that report on CCP, there is consensus that Xi is done and only reason he is still in position is that the "Elders" are figuring out who will take Xis position. Details in video like this below (and the gory details of Li Keqiang assassination plot) would never come out if Xi was still in charge.
