There can be no doubt that the arrests of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli on corruption charges were orchestrated by Xi Jinping himself. Such allegations are laughable at best, and the arrests themselves lack any semblance of credibility. This purge stems purely from Xi's obsession with power.
This not only highlights Xi's ruthlessness but also exposes his reckless character and insatiable appetite for personal power. Xi Jinping seeks to intensify the cult of personality surrounding his leadership, but this time, he has overstepped. He mistakenly assumed the military would remain complacent and not challenge his actions. While Xi's longstanding control over the public security apparatus and police forces is an open secret, the military is by no means a tool he can manipulate at will. He may well pay a heavy price to learn this lesson – particularly if rumours are true that those generals have been executed.
In essence, Xi is seen as a bully, whereas Zhang is regarded as a moderate reformist within the system. This general did not advocate war against Taiwan. Moreover, his open letter to the people contained startling assertions: the CCP should honour its commitments and steer China towards democracy and political pluralism. This vision, prioritizing the people's interests, is remarkable. He also stated bluntly that China could never defeat the United States.
Xi Jinping's authoritarian conduct portends ill for the CCP's future. Might his own missteps precipitate the party's demise? Having previously underestimated Xi, both party elders and the military would not repeat such errors should counter-coup plans be afoot. This alone should keep Xi awake at night. This war is far from over. Beware the legend of the nine-headed serpent.
