[Voice of Hope, July 24, 2023](comprehensive report by our reporter Han Mei)

Against the background of the scandal involving the two major military branches of the CCP, Beijing held a party building conference for the entire military on July 20-21. Xi Jinping gave instructions, but Zhang Youxia, vice chairman of the CCP Military Commission, was absent, and another important figure in the military was also absent. It is reported that the CCP military is experiencing a major turmoil.

The last time the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China held a party building meeting was in 2018. At that time, Xi Jinping attended and spoke, and all members of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, including the vice chairmen of the two military commissions, attended the meeting. However, neither Zhang Youxia nor Li Shangfu, a member of the CCP Military Commission and Minister of National Defense, were present at the Communist Party Building Conference.

Current commentator Yang Wei analyzed that Zhang Youxia was in charge of political work, so he should not have been absent from the party building work meeting. He was probably still dealing with the chaos. Ordinarily, Xi Jinping himself should have been present, but he only issued one instruction, emphasizing loyalty once more, and once more highlighting the role of political cadres. Just as he said when he inspected the eastern theater, he repeatedly asked political cadres to supervise military cadres, indicating that something really happened in the CCP army.

Yao Cheng, a former lieutenant colonel of the Chinese Communist Party Navy, also believed that logically speaking, if Xi Jinping was absent, Zhang Youxia should have been present, and neither of them was normal. Yao Cheng revealed that following the rumored leak of the Rocket Army, the entire Chinese Communist Party is now conducting a major security check.

Earlier, the CCP Rocket Force leaked secrets to the United States. Later, Hong Kong media also reported that Ju Gansheng, commander of the Strategic Support Force, another important military service in the war once morest Taiwan, was also under investigation. The incident even involved the CCP spy balloon entering the US airspace.

In response to this army-wide party building work conference, current commentator Zhou Xiaohui published an analysis in The Epoch Times, saying that judging from Xi Jinping’s instructions to the conference, major events have indeed occurred within the CCP’s military.

Zhou Xiaohui noticed that Xi Jinping mentioned the Gutian meeting in his instructions. The two Gutian meetings in the history of the CCP were key nodes in the struggle for military power. Mao Zedong seized control of the “Fourth Red Army” from Zhu De through the Gutian Conference. Xi Jinping held the Gutian Conference once more in 2014, calling for serious treatment of Xu Caihou’s case and seizing military power from the Jiang faction. Therefore, Zhou Xiaohui believes that Xi Jinping’s mention of the Gutian meeting this time shows that he is worried regarding the instability of military power and may need to be purged once more.

Zhou Xiaohui wrote that since the news of the CCP Rocket Army’s high-level investigation was reported overseas, the reports on the CCP’s military website have been abnormal. In addition to the sharp drop in news regarding the Rocket Army, the military has also continuously issued articles criticizing “small hills” and “small circles”, emphasizing political discipline and political rules. The core is loyalty to Xi.

On the 24th, Yao Cheng once more quoted internal news from the CCP army on Twitter, saying that the CCP army is undergoing major adjustments. It is necessary to complete the adjustment of the leadership of each service and theater before August 1, and complete the adjustment of the army and division level before August 1. Zhang Youxia did not attend the Party Construction Work Conference of the Army because he was intensively deploying work in this area.

Yao Cheng also revealed that, as far as he knows, Xi Jinping has changed all the generals above the lieutenant general level, and 18 generals, 30 lieutenant generals, and more than 200 major generals have been arrested or demoted. Some of them committed suicide. This time, more generals will be purged.
