[People News] Signs that Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping is losing military authority are becoming increasingly apparent. While Xi continues to make frequent public appearances, various sources suggest that he has effectively lost control over the military. According to overseas commentator 'Xiao Shuo Jia', citing internal information from the mainland, the current Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Zhang Youxia, has fully taken command of military power, with high-ranking military generals defecting to Zhang's camp.
News reports indicate that 'Xiao Shuo Jia' has revealed that although the CCP's top leadership has reached an internal consensus to prepare for Xi Jinping's resignation, there are differing opinions on how to proceed. The faction represented by the Tuanpai is taking a more moderate approach, advocating for Xi's peaceful resignation on health grounds to maintain political stability and preserve the party's dignity. In contrast, Zhang Youxia's camp is worried that Xi's faction may retaliate in the future, posing a threat to their safety, and thus calls for a thorough reckoning with Xi.
Currently, it is reported that Xi Jinping's close allies, including Cai Qi and Li Qiang, are still holding onto power in the political arena, trying to sustain Xi's influence. The Tuanpai faction has also been unable to reach a consensus on the next steps. Hu Jintao and his son Hu Haifeng have shown ambiguous attitudes, Wang Yang leans towards a 'soft landing' for Xi Jinping, while Hu Chunhua has intentionally kept a low profile without taking a stance, with only Wen Jiabao clearly advocating for a reckoning with Xi Jinping.
Zhang Youxia has successfully thwarted Xi Jinping's counterattacks several times over the past few months, taking strong measures to eliminate Xi's military loyalists, including He Weidong, He Hongjun, and Xu Qiliang. This indicates that the internal military struggle has escalated to a life-and-death level. Analysts believe that showing mercy to a rival who has lost power could create significant risks for future political stability.
The 'Xiaoshuojia' further points out that if Xi Jinping is allowed to exit peacefully as the highest leader of the party, government, and military, he will retain considerable influence within the Communist Party as a former leader. Additionally, Xi is reluctant to leave, and there are still many residual forces within the party, government, and military, which greatly increase the risk of a future counterattack. Consequently, Zhang Youxia has decided to take decisive action, planning to directly assume the role of Chairman of the Military Commission after Xi Jinping steps down, rather than handing over military power to the new party leader. This strategy aims to fully control the military, continue purging Xi's influence, and vigorously pursue a thorough reckoning with Xi Jinping himself.
In response to rumours about Xi Jinping's health, 'Xiaoshuojia' analyses that during Xi's recent visit to Kazakhstan, he appeared to be in good spirits, suggesting that his health is not severely compromised. In contrast, the online rumours about him suffering from consecutive heart attacks and being gravely ill are likely smoke screens released by Xi's faction, intended to create a favourable public opinion atmosphere for his 'dignified exit.'
Overall, Xi Jinping's resignation has become a consensus among the upper echelons of the Communist Party, but the specific methods and subsequent arrangements for party, government, and military power are still fiercely contested, and future developments remain uncertain. △
