Resolves NO if, at any point during his life, Xi is no longer considered the most powerful leader in China. Resolves YES if he dies at the top. I will extend this market indefinitely as necessary.

This may be biased toward NO, since he's only 69 and YES holders might have to wait decades to get their payout. Sorry.

General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.

Way too low. The guy has as much control as Mao had in a pre-modern society where people lack civic consciousness.

I feel like an argument for YES though is that he could be assassinated in the near future before he has a chance to be overthrown

predicts NO

@ithildulin True. I think an assassination is fairly unlikely though

predicts NO

@ithildulin Or like, he could die from Covid or something (unlikely given the extreme measures he takes to avoid getting sick in any form but it would be sort of funny)

predicts NO

@ithildulin It’s certainly possible

predicts NO
