It's naive to think that Xi is more powerful than the politicians who give him that power. I think you are severely misunderstanding how political power works.

One man just does not get political power without the support of powerful people around him. Even kings and emperors work the same way.

lol how do you think one man has so power. He has surrounded himself with people he trusts. And killed off any threat to himself.

Even so, he needs support from the party, who is stronger than the person they appoint to be leader.
