Over the Zero COVID policy.

Too early to say if Xi Jinping is going to end up like Yanukovych or Ceauşescu, though.

Yes, way too soon
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

If you are seeing an apparent paradox, that means you are missing something.

If I had to place a bet it would be that he will end up like Mao Zedong and his opponents like the students on Tiananmen...

I don't think he'll end up like Ceausescu; he'll keep his head whatever happens. But what could yet prove interesting is what the Party decide to do. If they feel Xi has overreached himself (which for now remains a big if), well, there's precedent for that.
