Chinese President Xi Jinping abolished presidential term limits in 2018 and successfully secured re-election in 2023. However, during a recent inspection in Guizhou, he mentioned the possibility of retiring due to health reasons, attracting public attention. Netizens revealed that Xi Jinping stated in a speech, "Even if I retire for health reasons, I will maintain the stability of the central leadership collective," which sparked speculation about infighting within the Communist Party's upper echelons and his potential retirement. "Mu Yang" analyzed that Xi Jinping's mention of retirement might be related to power struggles at the top, and his reference to "maintaining stability" implied that the current situation at the upper levels is unstable. "Zhaoming" believed that Xi Jinping is unlikely to publicly show weakness, suggesting that such statements might be part of his political strategy.

The President of China, Xi Jinping, passed the "Constitutional Amendment" in March 2018, which removed the term limits for the presidency, and was successfully re-elected for the third time as the President of the People's Republic of China in 2023. There are many views from the outside that Xi Jinping will continue to hold power, or even rule for life. However, recent news indicated that Xi Jinping appeared with a head full of white hair during an inspection in Guizhou and mentioned the possibility of retiring due to health issues. This topic quickly became a focal point of attention for netizens.

A Twitter user shared a video revealing that during Xi Jinping's inspection in Guizhou, not only did he have a head full of white hair, but he also mentioned in a speech: "We formed a central leadership team at the 20th National Congress that carries on the past and opens up the future, which ensures that even if I retire due to health reasons, the central leadership collective will remain stable." The Twitter user added that although the authenticity of this message cannot be confirmed, if true, Xi Jinping's inspection released a very unusual political signal.

Analysis pointed out that Xi Jinping's mention of "retiring due to health reasons" may relate to the intense internal struggles within the upper echelons of the Chinese Communist Party and his imminent retirement situation. This statement suggests that the current leadership of the Chinese Communist Party is facing a highly unstable situation and is likely embroiled in fierce internal conflicts.

Additionally, the Twitter user pointed out that previous Chinese leaders seldom talked about retirement issues. Xi Jinping stating that he would retire due to health reasons may be laying the groundwork for the future "Beidaihe Conference" or the "Fourth Plenary Session." He also believes that the reason for Xi Jinping's retirement is likely closely related to "health factors."

Another Twitter user analyzed Xi Jinping's white hair and retirement issues, believing that even if Xi Jinping mentioned the topic of retirement, if he truly intends to announce retirement at the "Fourth Plenary Session," it would indicate a misunderstanding of Chinese politics and the history of the Communist Party. In the power struggles of the CCP, strategies like "keeping a low profile" are usually emphasized, encouraging opponents to let their guard down to achieve victory. This Twitter user emphasized that Xi Jinping is a leader who rose through a series of political struggles, and it is unlikely for him to "publicly show weakness." This mention of retirement may be a key part of his political struggle plan.
