The Economist
Hi everyone,
I came across a complicated sentence in one of an article of The Economist.
"It seems unlikely that Mr.Xi, who is trying to consolidate his authority, would do anything before the congress that might look to rivals like weakness on Taiwan."
I don't know what's the relation between "look to rivals" and "like weakness on Taiwan."
I don't know how to interpret this sentence.

It's tricky. I don't know either. It's a bit complicated, to be frank.
