Xi’s Purge Backfires—Zhang Youxia Takes Command

Xi Jinping’s call for war may not be about Taiwan—it’s about survival. As China’s Fourth Plenum nears, Xi faces the biggest military purge in CCP history: over half of the PLA’s top generals have vanished. Yet the man who now controls the army, Zhang Youxia, isn’t stopping Xi’s war rhetoric—he’s using it. Behind the façade of “military readiness,” Zhang is quietly transferring power from the civilian government to the PLA through new land-control laws and purges. This episode exposes how Xi’s desperate mobilization could trigger a hidden military takeover—and why China’s future now hinges on their deadly rivalry.
