The Communist government in china with Mao and Deng, some of the founding fathers of what is now known as the People's Republic of China. The Chinese communist government has held its strong arm of power for a long time and has not let loose of its authority. They will do all they can to continue to hold power. There is no giving up for them.
But recently, there are some indications that there is a kink in their armor. There are some signs of weakness, but the current president has taken a bold step to attempt to hold power without giving it up. Although this may show greater strength, it may lead to weaknesses in the future. As one leader keeps power for himself, there may be others who would like to be in power. So, there is a possibility for collapse, but they will do everything possible to stay as the sole authority.
