China

At the very beginning of 2026, Zhongnanhai has reportedly been shaken by the most astonishing military turmoil in the CCP’s history since the “September 13 Lin Biao Incident.” The downfall of Zhang Youxia, First Vice Chairman of the CCP Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, Chief of the Joint Staff Department, has triggered a political earthquake capable of shaking the global political and economic order.

According to disclosures from multiple channels, former military insiders, and internal information circulating on social media, the CCP’s military is in a highly unusual state.

China

Although the internet is full of mixed truths and falsehoods, if one uses the mindset of normal people to analyze, reason, and judge the behavior and motives of abnormal people, one will inevitably fall into the trap of carving a mark on a boat to find a lost sword or climbing a tree to catch fish....

Zhang Youxia’s Arrest Triggers the Cracking of the CCP’s Community of Shared Interests

China

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has relied on party officials forming communities of shared interests to create a balance of power and maintain its rule. The largest such community of shared interests is maintained through the Party structure to safeguard the personal and factional interests of small groups and individuals. However, after the recent wave of senior officials such as Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli being arrested, this community has begun to show signs of cracking. Observers analyze that, because constant adjustments and reshaping of personnel and power are required—forcing choice...

Xi Jinping’s Five Major Miscalculations: Underestimating the Consequences of Arresting Zhang Youxia

China

During the abnormal power upheaval at the top of the Chinese Communist Party that erupted on January 18, 2026, Xi Jinping attempted to consolidate control of the military by arresting Zhang Youxia. Though the move appeared decisive, it exposed serious misjudgments about both the Party’s internal political ecosystem and the external environment. This was not a simple purge or anti-corruption campaign; rather, it triggered a chain reaction in which multiple factions joined forces to check Xi’s power, fracturing the authority structure and leaving the situation unstable to this day. Xi’s decision...

Ignoring the Central Military Commission’s Orders: Xi Jinping Faces an Unprecedented Challenge from the Military

China

Several individuals close to the Chinese military have disclosed that after Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli were placed under investigation by CCP authorities, multiple directives issued by the CCP Central Military Commission (CMC) to the armed forces met with widespread resistance at the grassroots level.

A Major Purge Triggers Shockwaves in the Military; Xi Gets a New Nickname

China

The arrest of Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) of the Chinese Communist Party, has stunned the outside world and is being called the largest high-level purge in the history of the PLA! Holding the dual status of “second-generation red” and “second-generation military,” Zhang Youxia is one of the very few PLA generals with real combat experience and was the PLA’s highest commander in actual combat operations. He has long been regarded as a core member of the “Xi family army” and was once Xi Jinping’s most trusted military ally. Against such a background, Zhan...

Zhang Youxia Arrested — Chaos in the PLA Is the Result of Jiang Zemin’s Corrupt Way of Running the Military

China

Since taking office, current Party leader Xi Jinping has brought down four vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission. Among them, Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou were protégés of Jiang Zemin, while He Weidong and Zhang Youxia were his own confidants. In order to weaken the authority of then–General Secretary and CMC Chairman Hu Jintao, Jiang Zemin planted Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou beside Hu to eavesdrop and monitor him, serving as Jiang’s eyes and ears while he ruled from behind the scenes. Because of this, a vicious culture of mutual distrust, mutual wariness, scheming against one another, a...

Xi Jinping to Heavily Sentence Zhang Youxia? Rumor Says the Most Courageous General Steps In to Rescue

China

In recent days, Beijing’s political circles have experienced the most intense and dangerous personnel earthquake since the Cultural Revolution. Zhang Youxia — long regarded as Xi Jinping’s trusted confidant in the military and the second-ranking figure in real power within the Central Military Commission — has reportedly been arrested and placed under investigation. This is not merely the fall of a high-ranking official, but the collapse of the entire CCP military power structure, pushing the Chinese military command system into an unprecedented state of “brain death.” Will China fall into tur...

Xi–Zhang Power Struggle Drains Vitality from Military and Political Systems

China

Following Zhang Youxia’s downfall, numerous versions of rumors have surfaced online.

Alleged Murder on the “Good Person List” — Fan Shiqi Sparks Public Fury

China

Today we focus on a public opinion storm that unfolded in real life but proved even more dramatic than a TV series. On January 25 in Yibin, Sichuan, what was originally a ceremony to honor so-called positive energy figures on the “China Good Person List” turned into a “public opinion blockade battle” involving tens of thousands of people — all because of the appearance of a controversial figure. That person was the entertainer long accused of being entangled in the Yu Menglong case — Fan Shiqi. Simply because “sha ren fan” ended up on the “Good Person List.”...

After Zhang Youxia, Who Would Still Be Willing to Risk Their Life for a System Like This

China

The downfall of Zhang Youxia was like a sledgehammer striking the very top of the power pyramid, shattering the outside world’s last illusions about absolute loyalty and monolithic unity. Unlike many previous routine anti-corruption campaigns, this marks the boiling point of the struggle over military power: if even a childhood family friend, a representative “red princeling,” and a core figure within the military can instantly become a prisoner, then it signals the official arrival of a new era in which no one is safe....
