https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64781986 You are allowed to use search engines btw, we aren't living behind china's great firewall yet.

None of it says Xi can kill anyone he likes, moreover this is BBC, which frequently pays to report anti-China propaganda regardless of validity.

Xi can disappear anyone he doesn’t like

Is actually what I wrote. But I get it, I wrote two whole sentences, that's a lot of information right there. And if you're not happy with the BBC, go look for other sources then. Like I said, using search engines isn't illegal yet. I certainly won't waste my time looking for a source you deem impartial.

See, I have done research, and have come to the conclusion that Xi can't disappear people willy nilly. The burden of proof is on you for making that claim.

They don’t need to prove anything, they have common sense[1][2] on their side.
