Given that he was given the same status as Mao by including Xi Jinping thought in the Chinese Constitution, this was sure coming.

This is misleading. The amendment also added Hu's "thought". Basically the Constitution includes all of previous paramount leaders' "thought".

Xi's name "Xi Jinping" will appear in the Constitution, whereas Hu just gets his "thought" without his name into the Constitution.

Besides, Hu's thought is to be put into Constitution after he had stepped down for 5 years. Xi's thought will appear in the Constitution when he is in the middle of paramount power.

And Xi's thought name is the longest, which means he will be worse than Mao.
