The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on September 21 and decided to convene the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, emphasizing the promotion of comprehensive and strict governance of the party. Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli were accused of disciplinary violations and punished.
Why do Taiwanese people often say that "wealth cannot last more than three generations"? Like a mantra, also like a law of fate. In many families, the first generation starts from scratch, and the second generation carefully maintains it. By the third generation, like an hourglass, money disappears as time passes.
At the conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2022, former General Secretary Hu Jintao was shown being "left", and his interaction with Xi Jinping attracted worldwide attention. It is said that Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao preferred Li Keqiang, and the Jiang faction preferred Xi Jinping to succeed him. More than one billion Chinese people would wonder why Xi Jinping was elected, and Hu Jintao gave him three positions too early. Is it also because Xi is a princeling?
The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting on September 21. The meeting decided that the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee will be held in Beijing from October 26 to 29 to once again study the so-called "promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the party."
The CCP's official report claimed that Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli "deviated from the party, crossed red lines and bottom lines, and formed gangs"; they took advantage of their positions to provide help for others' job promotions and received huge sums of money; they accepted gifts in violation of regulations; they "failed to fulfill their political responsibilities of comprehensively and strictly administering the party"; and they were disrespectful to their relatives and staff around them.
Chen Pokong told The Epoch Times that the so-called "strictly governing the party" should be aimed at opening the case against Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhen. He also believed that Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli were pro-American and opposed to attacking Taiwan. They should be cautious about the Taiwan Strait and establish good relations with the United States.
Zhang Youxia, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, was expelled from the party and the military. Liu Zhenli, former chief of staff of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission, was also expelled from the party and military. Dealing with these two people is to eliminate demonstrations against Trump and the United States, and to eliminate internal ties with the United States; because the National People's Congress Standing Committee has dealt with it, it is to tell Trump and the United States that he has regained power and won the hearts of the people. Both of them were accused of the five major crimes. The removal of Chief of Staff Liu Zhenli left four of the seven members of the Central Military Commission, a ratio of 2 to 2. This is absurd logic. The Party Central Committee selectively punishes people and wants to impose crimes. The final conclusion after deliberation by the Politburo was that Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli "seriously violated political disciplines and political rules, formed gangs, and were disloyal and dishonest to the party." A series of charges including "trampling and undermining the responsibility system of the Chairman of the Military Commission" more than half a year ago disappeared.
Another possibility is that retired members of the CCP Politburo Standing Committee also participated in the enlarged meeting of the Politburo and firmly denied Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli's charges of "trampling and undermining the responsibility system of the Chairman of the Military Commission." Does that mean that it confirms more rumors in disguise, such as that Xi Jinping has lost power and retired Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao, etc. are actually in power and have the support of the military?
Xi Jinping has messed up his foreign relations with foreign countries. He has become more corrupt at home as he fights against corruption. His economy has deteriorated and he has spent money indiscriminately. There will be no compromise with Xi Jinping. Many people at home and abroad want to overthrow Xi Jinping. Wasn’t the era of Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao so serious and terrible? Is it really true that “the rich cannot last more than three generations”?
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
The CCP will further consolidate Xi Jinping’s core power at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
