Abstract: Xi Jinping has become a controversial figure as to the direction he is taking China. The effort to "canonise" Xi to the "core" leadership had unnerved many. Xi’s effort to upgrade himself to "core" status symbolises his quest for personal power on top of the institutional power he has already amassed. It is indicative of a crisis of governance resulting from a demoralised cadre corps and an intensified power struggle within the regime.
