Market Summary

The market appears overpriced given Xi Jinping’s continued consolidation of power.

Analysis

Xi Jinping removed presidential term limits in 2018 and secured a third term in 2022, accompanied by the revival of the 'People’s Leader' title. As of 2026, there are no public indications of succession planning or designated successors. These factors suggest the market may be overestimating the likelihood of a named successor by 2045.
