Chinese leader Xi Jinping is not letting his guard down.
The upcoming 19th National Congress on Oct. 18 will unveil the new generation of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership for the next five years. Xi is expected to stay on as top party boss, but he is vigilant about his enemies in the opposing faction who might undermine him: those still loyal to former leader Jiang Zemin.
