Description

As the CCP’s Fourth Plenum looms, Beijing is on edge. Within 24 hours, China’s political storm could erupt into open confrontation. Nine of Xi Jinping’s top generals—his most loyal allies—have already been purged in what’s being called the biggest military shake-up since Mao, with 28 more reportedly on the way. Behind the scenes, Central Military Commission Vice Chairman Zhang Youxia is said to be leading a counter-move to block Xi’s comeback and prevent a civil war inside the regime. As the Party’s propaganda system and the military openly contradict each other, China’s leadership crisis is approaching a dangerous tipping point.
