"If you think about comparative communist regimes, the Soviet Union lasted for 69 years," Wang added, highlighting the historical context of leadership duration in similar political systems.
Wang emphasized that the quality of governance in both Imperial China and the PRC relies heavily on leadership, not institutional integrity, suggesting a recurring theme in Chinese history.
The 'crown prince problem' explains why strong leaders typically opt for successors who pose no threat, raising concerns about future governance quality in China.
