Because Communist countries tend to have very messy transfers of power, if not through continuity or annointment of a new leader by the old?

- jollybean 5y agoChina has had a decent track record, they are well organized. If Xi truly believed in China, then he would make it a priority to facilitate a smooth transition of power, and to enable the leader after their ascension. I really don't think this is much of an excuse for him. The story is really simple - CCP wants to forbid any private control of information, that's it. It's not a new concept.
