‘Coup in China’ – What’s Behind the Take Down of General Zhang Youxia?

Clearly, therefore, Xi’s sudden dramatic strike against Zhang Youxia has been a long time in the pipeline. But is the seizure of Zhang Youxia the ‘endgame’ in the CCP power struggle of the past 18 months? It seems that few of the PLA’s regiment and group commanders have sworn their “allegiance” to Xi’s campaign against Zhang Youxia. Another possibility is that the attack on Zhang Youxia and the anti-Xi factions forces them to mount a counterstrike. Whatever happens next, the attack on Zhang Youxia is a political earthquake.
