      Do people realize communism is moneyless, because from the comments I’m not sure they realize the goals of socialism?

        If you think Xi isn’t hoarding wealth for himself and his cronies you’re delusional.

          Source? Why would he? He doesn’t need to, he’s President for life. What’s he gonna buy? Graceland?

            “Wealth” doesn’t necessarily mean “money”. I’m sure he can get money if and when he needs it.

            My point is that regardless of what pay he collects on paper, he is extremely wealthy and he exerts control over the distribution of significant wealth within the PRC. Xi is about as communist as Putin is.
