Guo Boxiong

In a recent interview with Voice of America, Xin Ziling expounds on factional struggles and why Xi Jinping isn’t responsible for everything that goes wrong in China

Retired general Tian Xiusi was known to have bribed his way to high office, and even backed the ambitious ex-Politburo member Bo Xilai.

According to a source in Beijing close to China’s top leadership, Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping has made his first significant move against the former Party boss, and his chief rival, Jiang Zemin.

After months of anticipation, the Politburo expelled Guo, the former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, from the Party late Thursday night.

Another high-ranking Chinese general is nabbed as the Communist Party’s military steps up corruption investigations.

The news of Guo Boxiong’s downfall has been long anticipated.

Guo Boxiong, the former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, is likely to be purged as his son is at the center of a media smear campaign.

China’s antigraft campaign is often said to be merciless, but a high-level official has been frogmarched away from his daughter’s wedding by inspectors.

Guo Zhenggang, a major general in the Chinese military and the son of former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, was an arms dealer before he was sacked.

A man who for ten years was one of the top officers in China’s military has been taken away by army officials for secret interrogation, according to Hong Kong’s Apple Daily.

Support for Chinese Communist Party head Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign expressed by the military in mid-January may have signaled another round of purges of high-ranking military officers was coming.

An Insider recently revealed the rampant buying and selling of officer positions in the Chinese military, according to overseas Chinese language media.

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.

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.

Jiang Zemin’s days are numbered. It is only a question of when, not if, the former head of the Chinese Communist Party will be arrested. Jiang officially ran the Chinese regime for more than a decade, and for another decade he was the puppet master behind the scenes who often controlled events. During those decades Jiang did incalculable damage to China. At this moment when Jiang’s era is about to end, Epoch Times here republishes in serial form “Anything for Power: The Real Story of Jiang Zemin,” first published in English in 2011. The reader can come to understand better the career of this pivotal figure in today’s China.

Rumors have been spreading on China’s Internet that Guo Boxiong, a former vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, has recently attempted to flee China.
