It’s hilarious that capitalist rags like the economist want their lib readers to fear Xi by making him out to be some authoritarian conservative.
Also funny: central government wants local governments to invest in good toilets, the gall! How dare they support improving public services! 
It doesn’t have bylines because many of them are teenagers plucked from conservative societies at universities rather than actual experts or even staff writers. It’s a cheap content mill with set stories basically.
