Thanks for sharing. Fascinating piece. Hu’s repeatedly using “constitutional order” rather than just “Party leadership” here. The structure he’s describing (a sovereign power governing through institutionalised procedures with protected spaces below) sounds a lot like the evolutionary devopment of absolutism through constitutional monarchies.

But I’m probably reading too much into it!
Thank you. Very hopeful perspective for a peaceful future.
