power struggle

It’s the 50th Anniversary of the “Great” Cultural Revolution! And a celebration in Beijing could indicate that China’s leader is in dangerous waters.

China has a new commander in chief of the military and he just so happens to also be the head of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping.

Corruption busters in China continue to follow three tactics that they used last year, which were successful, to bring down more corrupt officials in China, People’s Daily reported on Feb. 4.

Psychological manipulation plays a key role in the arrests of China’s high-ranking officials targeted by corruption busters.

Following the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 18th Party Congress, held in late 2012, a disproportionate number of Chinese officials have “died of unnatural causes,” according to a recent notice by the Party’s Organization Department.

Following the expulsion of the Chinese regime’s former security czar, Zhou Yongkang, 521 of his associates were arrested and another 13 escaped overseas, according to a top-level internal memo of the Chinese regime.

As the ongoing anti-corruption drive launched by China’s ruling communist administration clamps down on thousands of Party officials, even the family of general secretary Xi Jinping has to take heed of the changing political environment.

State-run China Military Online reported that 16 military officials, from five of the seven military regions, military schools, and the powerful Central Military Commission, have been under investigation since the beginning of 2014.

Former Chinese communist leaders Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong were absent from a mourning list of dozens of high level leaders and retired officials invited to the funeral of a former party secretary of Shaanxi Province, hinting at the fading power of Jiang.

Some Western China experts have often downplayed the possibility that former security czar Zhou Yongkang plotted with Politburo member Bo Xilai, but the mainland press is reporting just that.

Chinese regime leader Xi Jinping has announced as an objective for 2015 no factions in the Chinese Communist Party—something at least one commentator views as impossible.

Speculation is rampant in the Chinese media as all signs point to an imminent investigation on Chinese actor and comedian Zhao Benshan.
