WILL CCP SURVIVE XI's DESPERATE GAME?
Xi's smokescreens: Dokhlam to win the election, Galwan-HK-Taiwan to survive the coup: Does Rising unrest among the Chinese public, collapsed economy and re-emergence of corona virus in Beijing, has activated the anti-Xi faction again?
Pre and post Dokhlam border stand-off, Xi purged, arrested and jailed around 200 CCP officials whom he considers as competitor or threat to his re-election as President. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) debarred Ex-Politburo member and Ex-Chongqing Party-Secretary Sun Zhengcai and charged him with political indiscipline, corruption, and malfeasance. Sun was arrested. Sun Zhengcai was Jiang Zemin political faction's preferred candidate to replace Xi in a coup.
In 2012 also, Jiang attempted to swap Xi with Bo Xilai. Bo like Sun was Politburo member and the Chongqing chief. However, the coup was uncovered when Bo's vice-mayor Wang Lijun defected to the United States. Bo and several others his team were subsequently arrested and sentenced to life in prison.
