Pretty ignorant of China's politics myself, who to follow for good coverage of what's going on in China? This latest consolidation of power by Xi, is it more of the same or is this something we haven't seen before?

china pretty much controls whatever news comes out of china, so the sources you have to search elsewhere. xi has been consolidating power for like 10 years, and he made a "president for life" a while back too. the evergrande situation , plus thier population crisis which they are trying to "solve".

some other points like thier college graduates are way exceeding the amount of jobs available in thier tech sector, so they have become very incensed, also with HCOL which leads to thier populaiton issue, in addition to the one child policy has left the country very woman deficient.

china like most insular asian countries are very anti-immigration, they allow very few to naturalize in the country and the caveat is denouncing your other citizenships. ALso westerners, particular white ones that move there are often used by the ccp as propaganda to legitimize companies in the country.
