A friend informed me on January 19 that Zhang Youxia had been arrested and that something major might have happened within the CCP.

Has the Hu–Wen “Party Central” Abandoned Zhang Youxia? How Will Zhongnanhai Clean Up the Mess?
After Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli were absent from the opening ceremony of the CCP provincial- and ministerial-level officials study session on January 20, only four days passed before a spokesperson for China’s Ministry of National Defense announced that the two had been placed under case-filing review and investigation, with their issues being characterized on the same day.

Cai Qi Is More Dangerous Than Zhang Youxia — Xi Jinping’s Risk of Backlash Sharply Increases
In the current CCP power structure, Cai Qi, as one of Xi Jinping’s most core confidants, has already risen beyond the conventional framework of a Politburo Standing Committee member, becoming in practice a “shadow deputy general secretary.” However, as history has repeatedly shown, systems of extreme power centralization often breed the most dangerous forces of backlash. Cai Qi’s rapid rise, extreme governing style, and factional positioning within the Party make him a “double-edged sword”: on the surface, he loyally carries out Xi Jinping’s will, but in reality, the latent risks continue to e...

If Zhang Youxia Is Arrested, Intra-Party Consensus Will Collapse
If Zhang Youxia really is, as overseas disclosures claim, brought down together with Liu Zhenli and Zhong Shaojun—and even their entire families are taken away—this would mark the CCP’s top-level power struggle entering an extremely dangerous new phase: shifting from anti-corruption purges targeting “peripheral” generals to directly touching the “core red second generation” and their family networks. The long-maintained intra-party “consensus”—that is, under Xi Jinping’s centralized power framework, red families tacitly acquiesce or at least refrain from open confrontation—would face the risk ...
