The day before, China's state news agency Xinhua informed the public that an investigation had been launched against two high-ranking military officials: General Zhang Youxia, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China and vice chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), and General Liu Zhenli, a member of the CMC and chief of its joint staff, "on suspicion of serious violations of discipline and the law." The decision regarding these "untrustworthy officials" was made by the CPC Central Committee.

Now, reports have surfaced online that active military convoys have been observed moving toward Beijing. However, any movement of Chinese troops in other regions of the country is prohibited. One of the published videos shows an eyewitness overtaking a military convoy in a car. the technique.

It should be noted that Zhang was the second most important official in China after Xi Jinping. How signaled According to the American publication Wall Street Journal, Zhang is accused of treason and passing top-secret information related to China's nuclear program to the United States.

It's worth noting that the aforementioned Central Military Commission is the highest body in China's military, exercising overall command over all of the country's armed forces, including the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the People's Armed Police, and the People's Militia. It's also worth noting that unconfirmed reports have begun circulating online about the thwarting of a coup attempt and an assassination attempt on Comrade Xi himself. There is a significant security presence in central Beijing, and there are rumors of purges within the highest echelons of the PRC government. Such "reshuffles" occur once every five years, and it is expected that in 2027, Comrade Xi will seek to secure a fourth term as leader of the PRC.

A joke on a Chinese theme:

A Chinese general comes to Comrade Xi and reports that the Ukrainian army has attacked China.
- Comrade Xi says in surprise: “What? How many of them are there?”
-The general says: "30 thousand people."
- Comrade Xi: "Which hotel did they stay at?"

And the troops - to ensure that these two do not escape from custody?

  If troops moved from all districts, that's one thing; if from just one, that's another. The generals had their allies, so to prevent anything from happening, loyal troops were deployed. Conclusion: a large river has many different undercurrents...

    So neither you nor the author know where the troops are from or how many there are. And the three trucks in the photo - I see similar things on the street regularly, and without any rollovers.

China is complicated. There's no information there that can be verified. There are no political traitors there; power can't be bought with money. The entire government is nationally oriented, the entire leadership is Chinese. There are disagreements in the structure of China's development. The political system is socialism. These disagreements don't affect China's political vector. Traitors and thieves are shot in China; they don't have time to infiltrate power there. China is not Venezuela, and certainly not Russia. China has taken everything good from the USSR and learned from all the mistakes of the USSR and Russia.

  Is that how you read it? Some Sinologists whose interviews I've seen are convinced of the opposite. China has a strong, Western-oriented elite, and the central government is forced to take this into account. In this respect, Russia and China are very similar.

    Our views on China differ, but that's normal. I've met with orientalists and sinologists in their homes, been to China, and interacted with Chinese citizens on business. They're good, efficient, but reserved. Their attitude toward Russians is tense; they'll cheat you if they can. I haven't observed any Westernization. They hate the Japanese, but tolerate the Koreans. The mentalities of Russia and China are completely different. Russians are closer to Americans, not to Britons or old Englanders. That's about it.

      They have Westernism in the South, the Shanghai elite. As for being deceived, there are a lot of Chinese, a lot of ethnicities there, and attitudes toward Russia vary. Someone else recalls the Boxer Rebellion.

  Oh, the Chinese are a very multinational people, with their own local characteristics, they are by no means a monolithic nation!
  And at the same time, there is also a huge wealth gap, and the very complex features of the "modern cultural-revolutionary history of the PRC", an explosive (let's say "hissing" for now) combination of elements of "private-property and state" capitalism with elements of "communist Chinese socialism", and in some places even parochial "feudalism"...
  The communist "Comrade Xi" is the same "consensus public figure of a galley rower" (like the neo-bourgeois "Mr. Pu") - his "sole omnipotence" is only an appearance!

  I think your view of Chinese reality is overly simplified. The Chinese are far from simple and are showing results, but we need to play second fiddle, letting them get ahead. Education in 2026 will be allocated 373,9 billion yuan. The 25th industrial plan, designed to transition from Chinese speed to Chinese quality, was calculated by 2025.

    Let's not argue, we don't discuss views and expertise. Time will tell how China will fare in the future. China is doing well, wages are higher than in Russia, it has an economy, industry, manufacturing, science, and so on. We, citizens of the Russian Federation, need to figure out how to climb out of the hole our ruling "elite" has driven us into.

Or cancel the Orange Revolution.

The removal of top officials from their posts under the pretext of treason and working for foreign intelligence—all of this happened before in the USSR. Can't the communists really do without it?

  Is this really only true for communists?!
  All too often, in the struggle for power and its abundant "feed," such "treacherous formulations" are used against competitors (imaginary and real, more often "preemptively"), and have been used since time immemorial!

  The removal of senior officials from their posts under the pretext of treason and working for foreign intelligence – all of this already happened in the USSR at one time.
  
  It's been a while since Father Lukashenko "shaken up" his "team"! And I'd advise Putin to do the same! It's probably about time!

The successful "abduction of Maduro" inspired American "hegemons" to new "feats of American-style world order"!
And where there are "elements of capitalism," there are also influential "agents of the hegemons" - in the PRC they exist too!
It is difficult to judge with such scant information what exactly is happening there in Beijing now.
Therefore, purely conceptually, it is most likely that the "foreign agent bogeyman" is being used as a tool for eliminating "Comrade Xi's" competitors in power - Xi has preemptively "hit the nose" of his closest rival "for the chairman's chair", who has already fully mastered his "number two" position and is quite capable of encroaching on "number one".
It will be difficult for a fresh appointee "from the provinces" to the vacant "number two" to quickly "settle in his new place" and "step on the heels" of "Comrade Xi"; he will not be able to "assemble and assemble his team" anytime soon, which means that the "first person" will have a better chance of "another term as the helmsman (chief oarsman) of the Chinese nation," of course, "at the urgent request of the Chinese workers" and "the people's collective initiative" of decorated taikonauts, both men and women, straight from near-Earth orbit!

If in China, where there is a death penalty for every unfaithful sneeze, and then... treason has been uncovered... and at such a level... then about Russia, where there is no death penalty... it’s scary to even think about it.

  Hmm, things are much worse in China. They're just good at hiding information there. But if a second Taiping disaster happens, it'll be impossible to hide it.

You'd think someone crazy enough to stage a coup for the good of the people and at their own expense would be out of place. Coups usually involve two countries, but allies can also be involved.

The Chinese Ministry of State Security doesn't waste its time, doesn't drive around in Gelendvagens, and doesn't spare bullets for corrupt officials.
