> If his successor misses the deadline, he can say things changed, Xi failed to consider factors X,Y,Z, etc. That's not how the CCP operates though. They are not a country where the puppets matter so much, like in most of the western countries. You would very very rarely see a leader being critical of their predecessor even if they are changing policies (which Xi Jinping definitely did). Because they are the same party and thus they are attacking themselves. The party is really more important than whoever happens to be at the top. The party is always right. Even when the party is wrong. Which it is not because it's always right. No, if this promise disappears it will be silently. Never to be mentioned again, or else. It just never happened.
