CCP - The meaning of what did not happen

The Chinese Communist Party's Politburo leadership team is supposed to hold a meeting every month, but there has been no official report on whether its members gathered in May. This unusual situation puts a question mark on the strength of President Xi Jinping's administration.
 
The question mark emerged as China's Defense Minister Dong Jun skipped the Shangri-la Dialogue security forum in Singapore and the Ministry of National Defense deleted Miao Hua, a former head of the Central Military Commission's Political Work Department, from the list of CMC members on its website. All eyes are on what is happening at the powerful Politburo, which has been a center stage of political developments like the one that eventually led to the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.
