The degree to which they gave up on the illusion of one country two systems is pretty staggering. There was a time when it was seen as a viable path to get Taiwan to rejoin China. They would get the relative freedom Hong Kong had. This was under the more relaxed pre-Xi era where the Chinese internet was far less censored and criticism of the government was far more tolerated. Xi seems to have decided that isn't a viable path and opted for dealing with everything forcefully. The Wolf Warrior diplomacy, the Hong Kong crackdown, the renewed threats to invade Taiwan. This is the new Xi approach. It's debatable how well it will work, it seems to only be having a negative effect, but the anti-Xi faction of the CCP has been purged or silenced leaving no viable pushback. Certainly it will be interesting to see if Xi is followed by a Deng like figure as Mao was who basically gradually undoes the worst policies and tries to reign power back in (reintroduce term limits, allow factionalism in the party, make it easier to join the party again, etc.).
