Youtube - Inconvenient Truths by Jennifer Zeng ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To: buwaya Listening to Raz0rfist on youtube and he points out this all started around the same time that several big fires occurred in China (including the communications building tower). What’s intriguing about that is that those towers is where all the personal communications would be stored for uploading to the CCP for future analysis and whatever records that were there may have been destroyed. 16 posted on 9/23/2022, 10:47:04 PM by Skywise [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies | Rep

Excerpt:
......The blogger, citing what he said was a senior Chinese Communist Party (CCP) security source, said a “coup” was launched against Mr. Xi at the meeting of senior party leaders in Beijing. According to blog, Mr. Xi was forced to step aside but will stay in place until a major party meeting later this year.
In his place, current Premier Li Keqiang will take over daily management of the party and government.
The video included the headline “Shocking Coup: Xi Jinping Has Stepped Down; Li Keqiang is the New Master.”
Mr. Xi supposedly agreed to voluntarily step down and will not be held responsible for the current turmoil over lockdowns.
.....Rumors in China are usually false. However, in some cases information derived from rumors preceded actual events. Examples include reports of the arrest of the “Gang of Four” Communist leaders following Mao Zedong’s death in 1976, and the downfall of regional CCP leader Bo Xilai on corruption charges in 2012.
But they may reflect either a party power struggle in advance of the forthcoming conclave, or deliberate disinformation by Mr. Xi aimed at burnishing the CCP’s tarnished image.
.....If the rumor turns out to be true, it could be similar ploy used by Mao Zedong in the early 1960s after the disastrous Great Leap Forward. The backyard industrialization program led to the deaths of tens of millions of people from a government-caused famine.
Mao at the time was forced by party leaders to step aside from day-to-day management but remained supreme leader.
“Within four years Mao launched an even deadlier power struggle called the Cultural Revolution that removed all those Communist leaders who had forced him to step aside,” Mr. Yu said. “If the rumor turns out to be true, there is no reason Mr. Xi will not repeat that scenario while he is still in charge.”
.....The rumors are more likely a reflection of a power struggle, she said.
Opponents of Mr. Xi in the Party are said to have orchestrated the action based on the Chinese leader’s hardline policies and his developing a personality cult similar to Mao’s. Mr. Xi is attempting to break the longstanding practice of two terms in office for presidents, seeking a third five-year term later this year.
