A coup attempt has been thwarted in China: conspirators tried to arrest Xi Jinping.

January 26 2026 37 187 78

An attempted coup to overthrow Xi Jinping has been thwarted in Beijing, according to multiple sources. It is emphasized that the organizers were Liu Zhenli, Chief of the PLA General Staff, and Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission.

According to information that requires further verification, high-ranking military officials planned to arrest the Chinese leader on the night of January 18 of this year. However, he learned of the planned action in advance, left the government hotel in time, and managed to take countermeasures.

As a result, the advance party of the conspirators, arriving at the hotel, was reportedly met with gunfire from Xi Jinping's personal security detail. Following this, the Chinese president ordered the arrest of Zhang, Liu, and their family members.

According to sources, following this incident, the General Staff's activities in the country have essentially been suspended, and the army is being controlled in a so-called manual mode.

It is still unknown whether the attempted coup in China was the work of the military elite or whether a third country was behind it. However, it is worth noting that, according to Western media reports, the arrested high-ranking military personnel are suspected, among other things, of passing classified information to the United States.

It should be added that Beijing has not yet officially commented on the media reports of an attempted coup.

  The peculiarities of the British Protestant mentality, shared by the majority of the population, ensure the existence of democracy, expressed in a real separation of powers and its rotation, and, of course, the effective work of MI5 and MI6. Taken together, this makes military coups and the establishment of a dictatorship or autocracy pointless, and therefore impossible.

  Because political course adjustments occur through the rotation of power through elections, both in the US and in Britain. Moreover, politicians actually compete in elections, rather than simulating a victory for one elected official. Trump came along, and the US political course changed dramatically. They have no political motive for conspiracies, while the British have had countless prime ministers since Putin's rule. This ensures political flexibility, keeps politicians on their toes, and allows the country to respond promptly to changes in the world. That's why they lead the way, and we're always playing catch-up.

  Well, first of all, assassinating presidents, a national pastime in the States, is practically a coup. Secondly, a coup in Britain is impossible because it has a monarchy, and the age of social revolutions is over. They had their own in the 17th century, so that's enough.

        You need to take off your rose-colored glasses and understand that in the West, not everything is as rosy as you were fed by Hollywood propaganda, and so you dream, cast aside your wet dreams, you haven't been to the West, otherwise you would know that the majority of residents there are in such deep social poverty that Russians can't even imagine, even the mayor of New York said yesterday that two-thirds of New York's population are in poverty..., the world is not ruled by money, but by big money, the world is ruled by a community of 300 of the richest families in the world, these families own 96 percent of the world's property, and the most influential of them are the owners of the US Federal Reserve, they print as much money as they want without control, if the US president speaks out against the bankers, he is killed, or he dies suddenly, almost 20 US presidents have been killed, the world's bankers, the owners of transnational financial industrial groups, buy rulers, presidents, or Judas, traitors in other In many countries, elections in the West are just as rigged as in many countries around the world, first of all because the majority don't vote, and secondly because the will of the people is not (and cannot be) conscious and free, because the people can't figure everything out, and the opinion of the people is formed through the media, and the media belongs to those who pay, and those who print their own money and buy presidents, the press, and Chinese generals pay. The circle of names is closed. Therefore, there are no coups in the West, because those who rule the world there already control everything, why do they need coups? It's easier to eliminate a specific official. Coups are the lot of Western colonies, because the robbery of the natives is so great that there is constant unrest there and they have to let off steam.

  It happens with them too, but in principle, your conclusion is correct. For a better understanding, I can recommend Manuel Sarkisyantz's book "The English Roots of German Fascism." It's freely available for download online. It very well describes the principle of the formation of the English character and why revolutions and even significant unrest like the "yellow vests" in France never occur in England.

    Greedy crooks are even easier to buy off to obey orders from the world's ruling clans. We've been through this since the 90s, and we're still going through this, unfortunately. When a second generation of power has been nurtured by corrupt Western morality, betrayal and theft are considered the norm.

    Why do you think Timur is just a petty crook? Do you remember the movie "Case No. 306": "Are you trying to pretend you're just a criminal traitor?" Remember how hard the SVO started, and consider that they took on Timur precisely after the failures at the front, after Prigozhin's murder? It's not just theft there, but treason!!!! Remember the movie "Black Business": "We will also find people infected with the spirit of greed, and it's no coincidence that Western spy masters turned to them."... Corruption and theft are an inherent human quality, and if he stole from the Ministry of Defense, he will agree to sell out the Motherland for a bribe. This is precisely why the West develops and sows corruption in all countries. A corrupt official is easy to buy, and the West can print as much money as it wants.

  China is investigating the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, the army's top commander, for alleged corruption. This leaves two people on the ranks, one of whom is Xi Jinping. Yesterday, the Ministry of National Defense in Beijing announced an investigation into Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli for "serious violations of discipline and the law." This term is widely used in China to describe corruption, AFP notes.
  
  75-year-old Zhang Youxia is the country's highest-ranking general and one of 24 members of the Politburo of the ruling Communist Party of China. He shares the post of vice chairman of the Central Military Commission with his subordinate, General Zhang Shengmin, a general in the Chinese Rocket Force and namesake.
  
  Washington Post and the Financial Times confirm the incident in China.

In countries lacking a political tradition of genuine power change through elections that would lead to a policy adjustment, such as in the United States, power is usually replaced by conspiracy. In our case, this was the removal of Khrushchev from power. The State Emergency Committee failed, but another force, led by Yeltsin, rose to power and seized power by simply liquidating the country known as the USSR.

  The USSR eliminated Marked One. It was his stupid policies that led to the collapse of the Empire. And he also forgot about Gromyka. This vegetable worked in the Foreign Ministry for 28 years, but never learned to discern people. For some reason, this senile old fool believed that Hunchback would listen to him. In the end, Marked One conned him like a sucker. And Drunkard, in turn, put Marked One in a knee-and-elbow brace, because Marked One had nothing but talk. And Boryan, besides talk, had a strong character.

    not exactly! The collapse of the USSR was prepared by the CIA recruitment of A. N. Yakovlev and Gen. Kalugin, when they were caught in a New York brothel, then the West, through these and some other Judases, removed all the worthy leaders of the USSR, the murder of Masherov, the decline in Romanov's rating, the poisoning of Suslov through American ointment (by the hands of Chazov under the control of Kalugin), the poisoning of Ustinov and a number of military leaders of the Warsaw Pact, the West consistently eliminated honest leaders of the USSR and everywhere planted corrupt officials and workshop workers like Hunchback, then Chazov consistently eliminated Brezhnev, Chernenko and Andropov (by disconnecting the life support apparatus), and brought to power the American protege Hunchback under the control of CIA agents Yakovlev and Kalugin.... Yakovlev organized and was responsible for the total brainwashing of the population in the spirit of disdain for the USSR and love for everything foreign, this process was deployed in The Soviet media from 1957 to 1992 was started by Khrushchev, also a traitor who stooped to planting hogweed everywhere and gifting Crimea to Ukraine and Cossack regions to Kazakhstan... and the underlying cause of the collapse of the USSR was caveman atheism, mediocrity, lack of spirituality, and a lack of wisdom.

        Perhaps, but Gromyko was already very old. Did he realize his actions and keep the situation under control? And what could this old man have done when dozens of Central Committee secretaries and thieving regional committee secretaries and national republic secretaries were on Gorby's side? For example, what could Grishin Romanov have done? The two of them were nothing; even the three of them, including Gromyko, couldn't have overcome such a crowd of thieves and scoundrels who had occupied all the lucrative positions with the connivance of Brezhnev and Suslov.

        Well, if he was old, he should have retired. And he wanted to rule through Gorbachev. But Gorbaty turned out to be much more cunning and threw the old man out.
        Everything was wrong. Most of the secretaries were waiting, and everything depended on Gromyko's decision. But this vegetable was categorically incompetent in understanding people. But he held on to power with a death grip, like Koshchei. And he didn't even admit his mistake with Gorbachev on his deathbed. He knew how many curses the dog would heap on him because of his stupidity.
        Grishin, and by the way, Shcherbitsky, acted vilely. They didn't even fight. Although, for example, in cooperation with Romanov, they could have persuaded Gromyko. In the end, Grishin was thrown out for his weakness. Shcherbitsky was tarred in the Chernobyl disaster. Incidentally, another traitor hasn't been mentioned – Ligachev. This enterprising man essentially ruined the entire Soviet economy. And he even brought the drunkard to Moscow. Apparently, Boris was right then.

Did Trump really decide to kill two birds with one stone? Remove Madura and the Chinese at the same time? Or maybe he's planning to remove a third one, our Leopold.

  I wouldn't be surprised...with the corrupt, thieving generals in the Ministry of Defense, this option is also possible.

    Leopold has the entire KGB, pardon the FSB, behind him, plus oligarchs tied to the international ruling mono-ethnic clans. Redhead was their overseer for a while. And all of this, even individually, let alone collectively, is more powerful than any honest army general, corrupt or not.
    And we don't have a tradition like Africa of military coups. They're simply one of the forces used by conspirators. Zhukov once supported Khrushch in overthrowing Beria nine months after Stalin in 1954.

      You wouldn't say... The Mattress Makers conducted an anonymous study at the CIA back in the day, and out of a thousand people, only 1% weren't willing to sell out to the enemy; 99% of employees are willing to sell out for various benefits. And how is the FSB different from the CIA? They're the same people... The conclusion is, anyone can be bought.

A coup attempt has been thwarted in China: conspirators tried to arrest Xi Jinping.

A very bold statement. This could only be wishful thinking, another Anglo-Saxon wish. It's hard to believe. In China, the Chinese are in power, the economy is growing rapidly, and wages are higher than in Russia. The population is not
will support the separatists. They tried this in Iran, but it didn't work. China isn't Venezuela.
