CCP factions enter fierce internal war, Xi Jinping in peril. Recently, multiple reports emerged from Beijing of sustained gunfire, accompanied by an abrupt tightening of security across key areas of the capital. Residents in Tongzhou, Sidon and areas near Beijing railway station reported a heavy presence of police and central guard personnel on the streets. Police dogs were deployed at several subway stations, while pedestrians were subjected to random ID checks. Traffic flow and foot traffic in the city center dropped sharply throughout the night. Beijing authorities further tightened security around the Zhongnanhai leadership compound. Large numbers of Central Guard Bureau personnel, dressed in black uniforms, were stationed outside Xinhua Gate, while several roads leading toward the compound were placed under traffic restrictions. These security measures unfolded amid growing internal shockwaves over reports of a direct confrontation between Jiang Yuxia and Xi Jinping at the highest level of power. According to posts on the social media platform X, Jiang Yuxia confronted Xi Jinping face-to-face prior to being taken into custody. The confrontation did not center on personal ambition or power struggle, but directly challenged Xi's governing trajectory. prolonged purges within the military, extreme concentration of personal authority, and the risk of pushing the regime toward a catastrophic external conflict. Jiang accused Xi of hollowing out the command structure through constant purges, destroying the military's social prestige, stripping soldiers of basic dignity, and replacing operational competence with political loyalty. Jiang warned that continuing down this path would lead the party and the military toward self-destruction from within. The sources emphasized that this conflict was not spontaneous. For years, Jiang Yuxia had been regarded as one of the few remaining figures within the top leadership who exercised real operational control and authority inside the military. Unlike previously purged generals, Jiang was not tied to a fallen faction nor a peripheral figure. This made the clash between Jiang and Xi fundamentally different. It was a confrontation between two still-standing centers of power, not a one-sided political cleanup. What followed was a sequence of detentions widely described as a modern-day Hongmen banquet, a political trap meticulously staged. According to commentator Li Jing, on January 19th at approximately 3 p.m., Cai Qi, secretary of the Central Secretariat, summoned Liu Zhenli to the general office of the Central Committee under the pretext of discussing personnel and military matters. Liu arrived with only a confidential secretary and one guard. The guard was escorted to a separate room and disarmed, while Liu entered an office where he was immediately restrained by security forces under the command of the head of the Central Guard Bureau. Later that same day, at around 5 p.m., Xi Jinping invited Jiang Yuxia to a private dinner at the Great Hall of the People. During the dinner, Cai Qi coordinated with the general office, the Central Guard Bureau, and secretarial services to detain Jiang Yuxia's secretaries first. Jiang himself was then taken into custody. Jiang Yuxia was fully isolated and taken away without resistance. He was subsequently removed from Beijing. While Liu Zhenli remained detained in the capital, on January 24th, China's Ministry of National Defense issued an official statement announcing investigations into Jiang Yuxia and Liu Zhenli for serious violations of discipline and law. However, more than four days after the announcement, not a single military region, service branch, or senior commander publicly voiced support for the Central Military Commission's action, an unprecedented silence compared with previous purges under Xi Jinping. Within the military, a post published on January 26th by the account Liu Ning stated that over 50 officials from central authorities and party disciplinary bodies had been seconded to assist the Military Discipline Inspection Commission. The post claimed that more than 2,000 officers at division level and above could face investigation, reassignment, or forced retirement. The Central Military Commission was also reported to have ordered all units to remain on standby, prohibiting unauthorized troop movements. The removal of Jiang Yuxia was not merely the fall of an individual, but a breach of longstanding informal rules that had maintained balance within the Communist Party's elite. Detaining a figure with deep military authority through extrajudicial coercion has pushed the system into a state of dangerous internal rigidity. Zhongnanhai now resembles an ammunition depot packed with explosives, where every faction holds a torch and waits to see who will light the fuse. When a regime is pushed to the brink and faces collapse from within, the rules that once sustained it can be discarded at any moment, leaving only a fight to the death between rival centers of power. Behind the scenes efforts to protect Jiang Yuxia signs the PLA is quietly turning away from Xi Jinping. The abrupt removal of Jiang Yuxia, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, CMC, who held real operational authority without any public process, immediately sent shockwaves through the People's Liberation Army, PLA. Du Wen, a former Chinese official from Inner Mongolia, earlier revealed that Jiang Yuxia and others had been planning a coup against Xi Jinping, but the plot was foiled due to a leak. Other reports suggest that the core issue behind the conflict between Xi and these figures is related to the hereditary power transfer issue at the highest levels. It is rumored that Xi has an illegitimate son currently being trained in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, facing significant resistance within the military system. Jiang Yuxia, a powerful figure from the second generation of red elites, is seen as one of the greatest obstacles to Xi's plan. Sources believe that the nature of the current conflict is not merely a factional struggle, but whether to allow hereditary power succession. It is well known that Xi and his current wife, Peng Liwan, have only one daughter. However, in the opaque world of Chinese officialdom, the true situation may be more complex. Du Wen previously revealed that Wang Lixia, the former chairman of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region who was arrested last year, was Xi's secret lover. In addition, Xi has a nephew, Xi Mingzhe, sometimes referred to as Xi Mingjiang. The son of Xi's younger brother Xi Yuanping and his ex-wife. He is often considered a potential successor. He holds Hong Kong residency and graduated from Georgetown University in the United States. Early reports suggested he later took a position at Tsinghua University in China. Xi Jinping will turn 73 this year. In recent years, there have been occasional reports about his health issues. And while it is believed he will not easily step down either voluntarily or involuntarily, discussions about his potential successor continue. Following news of Jiang's detention, unusual reactions emerged within the PLA. A former serviceman revealed that many units fell into visible disarray, with senior officers shocked that such an experienced general could be removed overnight. To avoid being caught in the political fallout, large numbers of officers submitted applications for early retirement or transfers, overwhelming personnel departments. The source added that Xi Jinping subsequently ordered commanders of group armies to publicly declare their loyalty to the central leadership. However, most commanders remained silent, issuing no public statements. Within the PLA, Jiang Yuxia was widely regarded as a senior figure with high prestige, and few were willing to be the first to abandon him and openly side with Xi. This collective silence has been interpreted by multiple observers as a sign that the military is deliberately keeping its distance from Xi, rather than demonstrating unconditional obedience as in the past. According to the BBC, Lyle Morris, a senior fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute, United States, stated that the Central Military Commission is now left with only Xi Jinping and one remaining vice chairman, creating an unprecedented leadership vacuum. Morris warned that this situation could lead to significant instability within the PLA in the coming period. In recent years, the CCP has repeatedly descended into turmoil. With the economy sliding into crisis, and both domestic and international forces increasingly accelerating the process of CCP disintegration, against the backdrop of a regime that has committed numerous grave mistakes, the CCP leadership now stands on the brink of collapse, while the Chinese people continue to bear the cost under Xi's rule. Commentator Tang Hao noted that regardless of the underlying causes of the Xijiang conflict, it is certain that today's China is at a historical turning point. The CCP is likely to face internal division at any moment, possibly even leading to a warlord-led civil war. If coups, military uprisings, and civil unrest continue to rise, the CCP could be swept into a fatal perfect storm. Commentator Yu Shan believes that in recent years, the CCP has repeatedly fallen into chaos, with the economy in crisis and increasing calls for the destruction of the CCP from both domestic and foreign sources. Having committed many wrongdoings, the CCP regime is now on the brink of collapse, with the public suffering under Xi's rule. It seems that the CCP may not last another decade and could fall without any need for a push. Overseas human rights organization issues anti-CCP manifesto, urging Xi Jinping to step down, exposing seven major crimes. Chinese lawyer Xu Silong posted on the social media platform X, stating that the Overseas Chinese Human Rights Lawyers Alliance formally issued anti-CCP manifesto number, one of 2026, titled An Open Letter Urging Xi Jinping to Resign. The document lists seven major charges for which the alliance holds Xi Jinping personally responsible and publicly calls on him to admit guilt, resign from office, dissolve the Chinese Communist Party and return power to the Chinese people. In its opening statement, the letter declares that Xi Jinping is burdened with grave crimes and overwhelming guilt, and asserts that voluntary resignation and repentance before the people represent the only possible way out. The document then proceeds in a structured format, enumerating the charges one by one and presenting corresponding arguments. The first charge accuses Xi Jinping of subverting state power, citing his forced constitutional amendments that abolished presidential term limits and dismantled the constitutional order established in 1982. According to the manifesto, China's system of governance was thereby transformed from one-party authoritarian rule into personal dictatorship, with all state power concentrated in the hands of a single individual. The letter cites specific milestones, including the 20th National Congress of the CCP in October 2022, at which Xi retained the positions of CCP, General Secretary and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and the March 2023 session of the National People's Congress, where he was re-elected president with 2,952 affirmative votes and no opposing or abstaining votes. The alliance argues that this outcome exemplifies a ritualized power structure that noticeably fails to reflect the will of the people. The second charge alleges that Xi Jinping committed genocide and crimes against humanity in connection with policies implemented in Xinjiang and Tibet. The manifesto states that the large-scale detention system, forced labor, forced sterilization, and systematic destruction of culture and religion constitute grave violations of international law. It cites findings by the World Citizens' Tribunal, which concluded that sufficient evidence exists to pursue individual criminal responsibility. The third charge portrays Xi Jinping as the largest corrupt official in China and globally. The document argues that in a system where power directly translates into wealth, Xi's prolonged monopoly over supreme authority effectively amounts to the seizure of the nation's total assets. The alliance highlights the contradiction between Xi's sweeping anti-corruption campaign and the fact that many relatives of top CCP leaders, including members of the Xi's own family, live abroad or hold foreign citizenship. The fourth charge accuses Xi Jinping of selling out national interests, noting that while approximately 600 million Chinese citizens earn less than 1,000 yuan per month, the Chinese government has spent over 7 trillion yuan on foreign aid and overseas investment programs. The manifesto states that numerous projects under the Belt and Road Initiative have stalled or collapsed, resulting in severe damage to the interests of the Chinese people. The fifth charge alleges that Xi Jinping aided war crimes and attempted acts of aggression, pointing to China's support for Russia during the Ukraine war through dual-use supplies and high-priced energy purchases as well as military intimidation against Taiwan via large-scale exercises encircling the island. The letter also references Beijing's continued alignment with regimes widely viewed as authoritarian and abusive of human rights. The sixth charge condemns the systematic suppression of freedom of speech and freedom of religion, including the mass detention of human rights lawyers and dissidents, strict media censorship, and Internet control through the Great Firewall. The manifesto asserts that expenditures on stability maintenance have surpassed even China's military budget. The seventh charge denounces the destruction of the One Country, Two Systems framework in Hong Kong, citing the imposition of the national security law, the suppression of the democratic movement, and the erosion of Hong Kong's status as an international financial center. According to the published information, the Overseas Chinese Human Rights Lawyers Alliance was officially registered in the United States in October 2025. Its founders include Wu Xiaoping, Xu Zilong, Zhou Xiangwei, Yu Feizhu, Zhou Junhong, Zuo Zhihai, Yu Feiyu, and Yu Pingjian, all Chinese lawyers currently residing and working overseas. The alliance states that its mission is to unite overseas legal professionals with Chinese human rights lawyers as the core and to collaborate with other social groups. Through legal assistance, rule of law advocacy, public communication and guidance, capacity building, social mobilization, and constitutional governance, the organization aims to expose and confront human rights violations, promote freedom, democracy, and human rights, support vulnerable groups, and work toward establishing a social security system founded on the principle of equality for all. Civil war spiraling out of control. When asked about Zhang Youxia's downfall, CCP spokesperson lowers head and frenetically flips through Little Notebook. China's top military leadership is undergoing severe turmoil, with direct implications for the Taiwan Strait drawing growing attention. On January 28th, a regular press briefing by the Taiwan Affairs Office of China's State Council exposed clear signs of disarray within Beijing's propaganda apparatus. A reporter from Taiwan's central news agency asked bluntly whether the cases against Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli triggering major upheaval within the People's Liberation Army's senior ranks would affect cross-strait relations. Upon hearing the question, Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhang Han immediately lowered her head and frantically flipped through her notes for more than 10 seconds, offering no immediate response. When she finally spoke, Zhang Han continued to look down at her prepared script, speaking hesitantly and repeating familiar anti-corruption slogans such as zero tolerance and no forbidden zones, while deliberately avoiding any mention of Zhang Youxia or Liu Zhenli by name. Throughout her response, she repeatedly glanced at her notes at least 12 times, underscoring that no prepared answer had been provided for this scenario. Notably, the official transcript of the briefing posted on the Taiwan Affairs Office website completely omitted the names of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, replacing them with the vague phrase senior military personnel on the Chinese side. This handling highlights the extreme sensitivity and deep instability surrounding the case within the Chinese Communist Party. Video footage of the spokesperson's visibly flustered response quickly spread on X. Observers pointed out that Chinese government spokespersons typically wear miniature earpieces to receive real-time instructions from backstage handlers. Zhang Han's repeated page-flipping without guidance strongly suggests that even the command layer behind the scenes lacked a unified response, revealing that the power struggle at the top has yet to be brought under control. U.S.-based Chinese democracy activist Tang Bokyao confirmed that open defiance is now evident within the military. He emphasized that the conflict between Xi Jinping and Zhang Youxia is not an internal rectification campaign, but a direct power confrontation, particularly over Taiwan. Contrary to previous propaganda narratives, Zhang Youxia is said to have firmly opposed launching a war, while the reverse portrayal appears to have been a deliberate effort to discredit him. Tang Bokyao stated that the case against Zhang Youxia remains unresolved. The CCP leadership is now locked in a stalemate, with many insiders believing Xi Jinping's handling of the situation was a grave mistake. Yet Xi himself no longer has room to retreat or reverse the decision. Zhang Youxia's arrest shocks the international community, U.S. closely monitoring. The arrest of Zhang Youxia has drawn intense global attention to high-level infighting within the CCP. At a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on January 28th, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio said these generals are being investigated as part of a pattern we've seen over the past few years, that is, a purge of its military leadership. Rubio noted that the CCP has invested massive sums in the military, and clearly some individuals have been embezzling those funds. It is now attempting to address the problem. In a recent article by Epoch Times, contributing commentator Heng He, the incident is said to prove that corruption is not the main issue. It is primarily a power struggle. The most critical phrase in the military newspaper editorial published that day was one of the five serious points, seriously trampling on and sabotaging the chairman responsibility system of the Central Military Commission, meaning not taking Xi Jinping seriously, sidelining him, or attempting to seize power. With Zhang and Liu under investigation, the CCP's top military leadership has been almost completely wiped out. Statistics show that since 2023, at least 122 PLA generals have been placed under formal investigation. According to a BBC report, Lyle Morris, senior fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute, said the current state of the Central Military Commission, with only Xi Jinping and one other general remaining, is unprecedented. Morris believes Zhang Youya's downfall also creates a long-term problem for Xi. This is very damaging to Xi Jinping's image, he said. Morris stated that the Chinese military is currently in chaos and there is a huge leadership vacuum. At present, the high-level military command channels in China are completely paralyzed, with no one responding. Fake everything you eat, from caviar and oyster sauce to branded clothing, a society steeped in deception under CCP rule. A delivery worker revealed that the owner of a health food store mixes rice with bare hands. Some diners ordered beef tripe at hot pot restaurants, but upon seeing it served, its color and smell clearly abnormal, they immediately felt nauseous. Incidents like these have become increasingly common, leading many to ask whether avoiding takeout and eating at restaurants instead makes any real difference. A video circulating widely online shows that caviar served at some restaurants may in fact be fake. According to the footage, the producer used dried seaweed, ground into powder, mixed with hot water and calcium lactate. When the liquid was dripped into a reactive solution, it instantly solidified into small spherical beads. By switching to black seaweed, the finished product matched real caviar in color, gloss and elasticity. The producer then invited someone familiar with caviar to taste it, claiming it was imported. During the tasting, the guest detected no abnormalities in flavor or texture. The producer stated that the total cost of making the fake caviar was only a few yuan, yet it is served in unlimited quantities at some buffet restaurants. Oyster sauce presents another example. Traditionally a staple seasoning from Guangdong, oyster sauce is made by boiling oysters, concentrating the liquid and refining it. However, according to a former production director in the industry, many oyster sauce products on the market contain only a very small proportion of real oyster extract. Most of the umami flavor comes from monosodium glutamate and other additives. In terms of amino acid nitrogen content, the amount derived from additives is many times higher than that from real oyster extract. Yet such products still pass inspection because current testing methods cannot distinguish the nitrogen source. After these revelations were exposed, the companies involved issued statements denying the allegations and claiming the reports lacked factual basis. Nevertheless, their parent company's stock price fell sharply in consecutive trading sessions. Food is not the only area affected. Label manipulation is also widespread in consumer goods. A woman who purchased cashews at a supermarket discovered that the production date label had been replaced multiple times, with earlier dates still visible underneath when the top label was peeled away. In another investigation, journalists posing as wholesalers entered a wholesale market specializing in counterfeit goods. Plain, unbranded t-shirts were stacked in large quantities. Vendors explained that customers could choose any logo or brand and the rest could be completed within minutes. Printing labels, embroidering logos, and attaching tags were all available on-site, with prices clearly listed. Replacing labels cost only a few yuan per piece, and regular customers ordering in bulk paid even less. The journalists witnessed old labels being cut off, new ones printed, and replacement tags applied on the spot. Within seconds, a plain t-shirt bore the logo of a well-known brand, with stitching color and logo size copied exactly from samples. The journalists observed that counterfeiting at this wholesale market had reached a professional level. Relabeling and tag replacement had become a complete industrial chain. Within seconds, a plain piece of clothing could be turned into a branded garment. China's food safety issues have also drawn attention overseas. Lamar was once a brand that made many overseas Chinese proud, known for transforming foreign foods that did not suit Chinese tastes into appealing Chinese-style dishes through its magical seasonings. However, in 2015, its products faced removal from shelves at some Asian supermarkets in Australia after failing to declare allergenic ingredients. In 2017, Lamar products were again found to contain excessive levels of harmful substances when sent for testing in Europe. From seaweed-made caviar and additive-laden oyster sauce to altered food labels and plain clothing transformed into branded products, these cases show that fraud is no longer isolated. Such products continue to circulate openly and remain widely available. It cannot be denied that China's ability to imitate has reached a peak of perfection. But why is such skill and intelligence not used for positive purposes? Ultimately, under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party, when human morality deteriorates, everything else follows into collapse. Your feedback matters. Share your views in the comments.
