Stalin really really bungled his support of the Communists in China. He later rectified this when they were on the ascendency towards the end of WW2 but what was done was done.
Mao did a diplomatic mission to the USSR and he referred to it as a lot of 'Sitting, shitting, eating, and waiting.' While a war was happening and said it was a huge waste of his time.
Honestly Mao should have retired way earlier, got dull in his late age. CPC put limits on age for this reason. He also keeled over by the time they took power in Cambodia and therefore did not invade Vietnam, that was :denguin:
Where can I read more about this? God damn, that wouldn't fix everything, we'd still have capitalism but it would be a massive step up from :biden-the-thing: :trump-moist:
'This has been known as the rule of qi-shang, ba-xia (七上八下; lit. "seven up, eight down"), referring to the fact that if a PSC member is 68 or older at the time of a party congress, he must retire, but if he is 67 or younger, he may still enter the committee.'
Its probably likely Xi will retire at his next review. This thing is just a general non-written rule that happens, the vast majority of people retire around age 67-70 for the CPC. They are then usually used in supportive roles to advise people in their seat on what was done in the past. I think they generally just eyeball it, if someone seems to have issues with functioning in their role they suggest retirement.

At least Stalin never invaded another communist nation or supported the Khmer Rouge lol
