During the closing ceremony of the Two Sessions, video footage showed that as Xi Jinping was leaving, several Politburo members, including Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) He Weidong, turned around and stood by their seats to watch Xi depart. However, Zhang Youxia remained facing forward, not even glancing back as Xi walked past behind him. (Screenshot from video)
[People News] The Chinese Communist Party's anti-corruption campaign has led to the arrest of one million corrupt officials within a year, including a significant number of generals and lieutenant generals from the military who have gone missing. These statistics not only expose the CCP's deep-seated corruption but also highlight the fierce internal power struggles within the party. Consequently, when certain high-ranking officials fail to appear at meetings, it often raises suspicions among the public that something may have gone wrong.
Recently, Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, a member of the Central Military Commission, were absent from the CCP's 'Special Seminar on Learning and Implementing the Spirit of the 20th Central Committee's Fourth Plenary Session for Provincial and Ministerial Level Main Leaders.' Many netizens believe this absence is linked to the intense political infighting occurring within Zhongnanhai.
On the X platform, user 'Cai Shenkun' reported that Xi Jinping dispatched Wang Xiaohong's special security bureau to apprehend military personnel, including Zhang Youxia and Zhong Shaojun, who had just been released, resulting in a total of 17 arrests. However, Cai Shenkun remarked, 'This news cannot be verified; it might be wise to let the situation unfold a bit longer and see if Zhang Youxia makes an appearance at the Spring Festival gathering.'
Later, it was reported that Cai Shenkun reached out through his connections to Zhang Youxia's secretary to confirm whether the rumours of Zhang Youxia's arrest were true. The reply was simply: 'Nonsense.'
Cai Shenkun also pointed out that the only representatives from the People's Liberation Army present at this meeting were Zhang Shengmin, a member and vice chairman of the Military Commission, suggesting that Zhongnanhai may be experiencing significant distrust towards the senior military leadership.
According to a report from Newtalk News, the Twitter user 'New Heights' has once again ignited widespread discussion among netizens with an open letter released in early December last year. In this letter, 'New Heights' pointed out that as Zhongnanhai intensifies its purges of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), various factions within the military have been systematically 'uprooted', leaving Zhang Youxia, who is not affiliated with any faction and could potentially 'stage a coup', as Xi Jinping's final target.
The open letter suggests that at that time, Zhang Youxia had only three options left: to 'turn the fake into the real' and initiate a military coup, to 'exit with death' to ensure his family would not face collective punishment, or to 'survive by any means' while waiting to be secretly captured. The letter urged Zhang Youxia to 'make a choice as soon as possible'. Following reports that Zhang Youxia might be facing a purge, 'New Heights' expressed regret, emphasising that he had called for Zhang Youxia to rebel over a month ago, stating that 'otherwise, he would only have two possible outcomes left: death or capture.' △
