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

Rumors that Zhang Youxia, the current vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, had been arrested began circulating on January 20 and quickly flooded the entire Chinese-language media sphere. Leaks from various channels became increasingly explosive, and different “literary creation” versions grew ever more frightening.

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.
