Xi's Power Struggle with Zhang Youxia Takes a Dangerous Turn, 2 Paths to Decide China’s Fate

"At present, China is experiencing an unprecedented political instability not seen in over a decade. Since Xi Jinping came to power and consolidated almost all authority into his hands, the Party-Government-Military system has become completely unified. However, since late 2024, this unity began to fracture as a series of leaks revealed that the powerful military figure, Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, has gradually been “cutting away” Xi's power and is slowly emerging as the true controller of the Chinese military.
The question raised by international analysts is: Where is Zhang Youxia leading China? Is he a leftist, supporting the revival of Mao Zedong's ideology? Or is he a pragmatic technocrat, ready to shift right, open up, and democratize?
This question not only pertains to Chinese politics but also affects the entire geopolitical structure of East Asia and even the global order.
