Amid rumors surrounding the health of Chinese President Xi Jinping, sparked by his unexplained absence from public view in recent times, speculations are rife that a major change may be coming soon within the political leadership of China.

Li Qiang - The current Premier of China

China does not have a “president”. They have a communist party chairman. They started using that term to pretend he is a legitimate leader ad not the top gangster.

There is no election. They have no president.

I guess the Chinese don’t want another Mao.

No matter what, China will remain a cruel, sadistic slaver state until the population rises up and changes it.

The Chinese have a cornucopia of medicinal herbs catalogued over millennia. They don’t need to resort to anything so crude.

There is a President according to their Constitution, which, like most laws in China is a formality. It is the least important title he has.

His power comes from 1) his position as Chairman of the CCP’s Central Military Commission, and 2) General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

They just added the term “president” to try to draw equivalence.

I have been reading reports that Xi Jinping is on his way out for some time now...which I was surprised at last week’s news about his telephone call with President Trump about tariffs.

Xi is not in charge any more, a General has taken over now, Xi was pushed out for knocking of the guy that used to be in charge.

Generals loyal to Xi from the Air Force, Navy, & the high tech Rocket Force have been systematically purged, arrested, disappeared, or are being investigated. Xi’s plan to invade Taiwan relies mainly on those three branches of the PLA, and those generals in them who are most loyal to him.

The PLA ground forces are run by Zhang Youxia, who as it turns out has been the one behind the purges - and is now the de facto guy in charge of China, with XI Jinping sidelined.

We do not know who heads the Chinese Military Commission [ CMC ], but Zhang Youxia ascendance within it signals the end of the Xi Jinping era.

However, Zhang Youxia’s position is not stable - various powerful groups still are vying behind the scenes, and someone else may rise within the next few months, if not weeks.


According to her, the CCP has agreed to lower its firewall and allow US companies access, but somehow the CCP will retain censorship by controlling each individual internet user according to their profile. Internet police [ the local police ] will harass individuals who make “inappropriate” comments or watched “too much anti-CCP content”.
