There is just no way in hell that Xi Jinping (age 71 right now) keeps being the best option for China's leadership for 10+ years under a meritocratic ideal.

He's better than Trump obviously but so is a warm piece of cow shit.
Not sure whether Xi keeping the job is faltering of the CCP's ideal of collective leadership, or him being the guy the collective leadership wants as figurehead. They certainly don't want a second Mao that's for sure.
The politbureau/party can still elect a new leader even if term limits are removed. There is democracy for "qualified voters" in China.
