Power Struggle in china: Did Xi Jinping Face a Coup?

Beijing, China – The political landscape in China is reportedly facing turbulence, with unconfirmed reports suggesting a power struggle involving President Xi Jinping and other high-ranking officials. The alleged coup attempt and the sudden death of former Chairman of the Military Commission, Xu Qiliang, have fueled speculation about internal conflicts within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The Alleged Coup Attempt Against Xi Jinping

according to an insider cited by commentator Li Dayu, Xi jinping may have suffered a stroke during the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee.This alleged incident reportedly led to Zhang Youxia, than the first vice chairman of the Military commission, seizing military power. Zhang Youxia’s first move was to control key figures like Cai Qi, head of the Central Security Bureau, and Wang xiaohong, who controlled the public security system, effectively neutralizing Xi Jinping’s influence.

Did You Know? Losing power within the CCP system is often described as an all-or-nothing situation, with no partial loss of authority.

The insider further claimed that Zhang Youxia, confident in his control, initially allowed Xi Jinping limited freedom, provided he adhered to a pre-resolute script. However, Xi Jinping’s alleged attempts to counterattack led to a subsequent military purge.

The Role of Xu Qiliang and His Sudden Death

Xu Qiliang,the former Chairman of the Military Commission,reportedly played a crucial role in Xi Jinping’s counterattack. Initially overlooked by the alleged anti-Xi faction, Xu Qiliang seized the opportunity to rally support and participate in the counteroffensive. The officers who afterward “disappeared” are believed to have been purged due to the failure of this counterattack.

Notably, Xu Qiliang had previously been instrumental in Xi Jinping’s rise to power, including securing his third term. His ability to retire without being purged suggested a high level of trust between him and Xi Jinping.

The sudden proclamation of Xu Qiliang’s death on June 2, following reports of other officials dying in detention, has raised questions about potential internal struggles within the military. xu Qiliang had a history with Xi Jinping dating back to their time in Fuzhou, Fujian. He also had close ties with Miao Hua and He Weidong, both of whom were promoted during his tenure as Vice Chairman of the Military Commission but were later punished.

the Factions within the CCP

The insider also shed light on the relationship between Xi Jinping and Jiang Zemin, stating that Xi Jinping was initially recommended by the Jiang faction. However, after coming to power, Xi Jinping purged the Jiang faction to avoid the fate of his predecessor, Hu Jintao. The insider claims that the Jiang faction no longer exists and that the primary factions within the CCP are now the second generation of reds and the League faction.

Pro tip: Understanding the factional dynamics within the CCP is crucial for interpreting political developments in China.

Current Political Climate

According to sources cited by Epoch Times, Xi Jinping’s power has been waning since April of last year. Despite several counterattacks, he has reportedly been unsuccessful in regaining full control. He is now allegedly cooperating with the acting leadership, following their directives, including his visit to Russia. However, the senior management is reportedly uncertain about the next steps.
