Not likely. Xi has accumulated power not seen in China since Mao. They screwed up badly and tried to cover it up to Save Face.
I spent many years working in the Far East. Westerners do not understand how powerful a cultural thing Saving Face is in those cultures.
For those who don’t know the concept, Saving Face, is a term describing Public Embarrassment and Shame. The higher up the food chain you are the Saving Face culture grows exponentially.

Saving Face - turning being thin-skinned and prickly into an art form. If China can't get over that BS they should NOT be considered first world trade partners. Any grown ups over there?
