> Is the rule of threes now fulfilled, or is there still more to come?

Usually it means a change in the ruling dynasty of China. Or so they say...



Maybe Iran this time?


Does this mean we're looking at a restoration of the dynastic system?


It was already restored when Xi made himself premier for life. We’re in the Xi dynasty, but it looks like he chose an inauspicious time and the dynasty might not last long.


That's not what a dynasty means at all. The bare minimum would be for Xi's son to inherit the position.

> We’re in the Xi dynasty

I don't think there's ever been a Chinese dynasty named after its ruling family. Nothing could be more gauche.

Emperors can be named after the dynasty, but that only happens after they're dead, and doesn't replace their personal name.
