Outside of a handful of Chinese Dissident- and anti-CCP YouTube accounts, the story about the ongoing power struggle within the Chinese Communist Party is being ignored by both the mainstream media and the alternative media,
For several weeks, Lei’s Real Talk and other YouTube channels, like Behind the Great Firewall have been reporting about a purge of Xi Jinping loyalists in the military, with four generals having “died suddenly”. In addition, key officials overseeing Hong Kong and Taiwan have been replaced.
On June 3rd, Lei’s Real Talk reported that Xi Jinping hadn’t been seen in 14 days and that the Chinese government’s website dedicated to Xi’s activities had stopped posting updates about him on May 20th. Xi was rumored to be under “house arrest” and to be negotiating the terms of his stepping-down with the Politburo:
“There are overwhelming amounts of leaks whispers and rumors coming out of China, saying that Wang Yang is replacing Xi Jinping as the Party Leader and will be the Premier…
“They [are] also saying that the current Politburo Standing Committee will be dissolved and there will be a new leadership team…that we might be weeks or even days away from finding out about the leadership change in Beijing…
“They say that the Party elders have sent a delegation to Luoyang to negotiate with Xi Jinping and Xi made several demands. He asked [that] his families, including his siblings and daughter to not be implicated, after his stepping-down.
“He asked his father’s legacy be protected and the Party elders promised that they won’t touch his family and will not demolish his father’s memorial hall or mausoleum.
“Xi Jinping reportedly also expressed a strong opposition to Hu Chunhua becoming his successor. Instead, he’s okay with Wang Yang to succeed him, now.”
She said, however that neither Wang nor anybody else wanted the job of inheriting Xi’s “mess”.
When Xi finally reappeared after two weeks to meet with Belarusian President Lukashenko, she offered her opinions in a subsequent podcast for why she believes the visit was part of a fact-finding mission on behalf of President Vladimir Putin and gave several reasons for why she believes Xi may be under house arrest, saying:
“Many observers confuse visibility with power just because Xiinping shows up doesn’t mean he’s still in command he hasn’t stopped making public appearances even after reports of his uh waning authority began last year he’s been attending meetings going on state visits giving speeches so his presence alone tell us nothing about who’s really running the show.”
