It also became customary for cadres to be gradually promoted up the ladder to higher positions," explains Švec. With the rise of Xi Jinping to power, it was expected that the sixth generation of leaders, politicians born in the 1960s, could take over leadership after him.

According to Švec, it can essentially be said that there is a "lost sixth generation": "With the rise of Xi Jinping to power, it was expected that the sixth generation of leaders, politicians born in the 1960s, could take over leadership after him. Many of them reached high positions, but Xi Jinping has maintained leadership longer than initially expected." #Čína #politickéčistky (translated)
