Hu Liren: The Backlash of the CCP's Military Second Generation Against Xi Jinping's Family Power Consolidation and the Coming Purge Crisis

The video analyzes the current power struggle within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), focusing in particular on the deep rift between families of military offspring (princelings of military background) and red princelings on one side, and Xi Jinping on the other. Hu Liren details the role of these families in China's power structure, pointing out that military offspring and red princelings are extremely dissatisfied with Xi Jinping's centralization of power and exclusion of the interests of various major families, and have already begun to join forces to fight back. The program notes that the downfall of Zhang Youxia, the public relations efforts by Xi Yuanping, and the purge of a large number of military generals all indicate deep internal conflicts of interest. The video predicts that as the reckoning crisis approaches, major turmoil may break out within the CCP within three months, and whether the military offspring can make a comeback will determine the fate of Xi Jinping and his family.

Well, hello everyone. The second live stream of today has started. I'm going to talk to you about the program I did for the Elite Forum this afternoon. People have been talking about how very likely in July, the cases of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli are about to be unveiled, about to be unveiled. As for Zhang Youxia, up until now, he has only been detained, and only an announcement has been issued; all of his other titles have not been stripped away yet. What kind of signal do you think this is? That is to say, although Xi Jinping has already taken down Zhang Youxia, he dares not move further, dares not finalize things, dares not settle it, right? After Zhang Youxia was locked up by him, he has been very unyielding, and behind him is massive support from red princelings—wait, I didn't mean red princelings, I just misspoke, it's the support of military offspring, support from military offspring. Right now inside the Communist Party, they are currently dealing with the military offspring. Who is the social connection of the military offspring? It is Xi Yuanping. No one is buying Xi Jinping's account, and Xi Yuanping is currently acting as the nice guy, doing public relations while his younger brother is at it. Xi Jinping is now extremely terrified that the military offspring might suddenly rise up abruptly.

And look at Xi Jinping, look at how the Communist Party has been doing things all along: everyone sharing and carving up the world together. Back in Mao's time, there was plenty of wealth. And many people went into hiding; Deng Xiaoping, for instance, went into hiding and wasn't killed off. It was impossible for Mao to kill everyone off, right? So eventually, after Mao died, Deng Xiaoping rose up abruptly and liquidated all of Mao's people, right? This is history, it is already history, right? In other words, if Xi Jinping wants to restore autocratic monarchy now, he will ultimately be liquidated too. What will you do if, when the day of his death comes, heaven forbid, his family is liquidated? Just like Mao—at that time, Deng's liquidation of Mao showed some restraint, showed restraint by locking Jiang Qing up until she died, driving her to death, right? Mao Xinyu, these people, Mao Yuanxin, these people, were eventually released and given a way out. But Xi is different, Xi is different, because the things he has done are too extreme; he has directly touched upon the massive interests of a great number of red princelings and military offspring, these interests, right? Therefore, what they are facing now is a game of life and death, a life-and-death struggle. I don't regard this as an ordinary internal struggle at all; in fact, what Xi Jinping is facing right now is a war waged against him by all the military offspring and red princelings, a war against him, right?

I have mentioned before that I once had a business partner, He Xintong, who was very familiar with the Xi family. You will know once I show you the photos. I showed them to you a couple of days ago. Look everyone, look, this is Xi Yuanping in 2011. Look at this Xi Yuanping, this photo is not available anywhere else. Wang, this is Wang Jun, this Wang Jun, right? Wang Jun's younger brother, called Wang, called Wang something, I forgot the specific name. It was the two brothers, Wang Zhongxin, who originally set this up. They had an incredibly good relationship with the Deng family. Now that Xi is going after the Deng family's assets, they are unhappy too. Xi Jinping coming to power was actually supported by these second-generation military officials, these second-generation officials and military officers, who helped him get into power at the time. They had an agreement back then that he would go up as their representative, not as a dictator. But Xi Jinping is now completely the opposite; he changed his face immediately in 2018. Once he changed his face, he became a dictator. Now everyone knows, everyone knows that Xi is building a Xi family dynasty. Just think, he has arrested over 200 generals in the military, and many of these generals are involved with the second-generation reds, second-generation military, and third-generation military.

This photo, this photo is not available anywhere else. This, Xi Yuanping, look at Xi Yuanping, this was at, this was at Xue Ming's memorial service in 2011. I was still in China at that time, and I obtained this photo while I was in China. 2011, Xue Ming, who is Xue Ming? He Long's wife, named Xue Ming. When Xue Ming died, look, this is the second-generation red, this is a standard second-generation red, second-generation military, standard second-generation military. Wang, this Xi, look at Xi Yuanping, to what extent was his relationship with them good? They all went together, paid their respects together. Look at him with Wang Jun, these people. Do you see? Let me show you another photo, this is mine, look, right there at the scene, this is my business partner, named He Xintong, take a look everyone, named He Xintong. His health was not very good at that time. He, I had two companies with him in China, and our company names were both Xinli. Xinli means He Xintong, and the 'Li' is me, Hu Yiren. We had a very good relationship; I was the second-largest shareholder, I was the second-largest shareholder. He once told me, he once told me, he said we are not interested in Xi Jinping. These second-generation reds look down on Xi Jinping very much, they look down on him because Xi Jinping once had interactions with them. But his younger brother is different; his younger brother might be a few years younger than Xi Jinping, so their influence on his younger brother is quite good. Therefore, Xi Jinping's younger brother is the one maintaining connections and building rapport with those second-generation military and second-generation red families.

Now that Xi Jinping has turned to dictatorship, what has it become? Originally, it was like a joint-stock company where everyone had a share, but now it belongs to his family. He has taken all of these people—all of those other families, as we all know there are hundreds of families controlling this country. The country was carved up by several hundred families of the Chinese Communist Party. Now, if Xi Jinping gets rid of the Communist Youth League faction, those people don't really have any strong feelings about it; they think, "Go ahead and get rid of them, it doesn't touch our interests." But what Xi Jinping is doing now, or has already partly done, is offending the military princelings and the red second generation—he is offending all of them. Under these circumstances, these people are going to turn against him. If these people join forces, it will be extraordinary, simply extraordinary. Their social and interpersonal networks within the military are intricate and complex. Moreover, they used to make fortunes together. I once mentioned that back in the 1980s, even Deng小平 didn't dare, didn't dare to go so far as to offend them. Deng Xiaoping came to power by relying on them, relying on the support of the military, right? Therefore, after Deng Xiaoping, he allowed all these people in the military to get rich. Observing China as a whole back then, there was one group that truly made money—a faction within the military, namely the military princelings. At that time, Deng Xiaoping tacitly approved of it. Just like Wang Zhen's sons, along with the sons of other military figures, there was a type of person in the 1980s known as "military profiteers" (军倒), who engaged in official profiteering backed by the military. Because if you were just a provincial governor or a mayor, you couldn't do that; you didn't have that many resources. The real resources were in the hands of the military; they could mobilize military supplies at will, whereas local officials couldn't, right? So they have intricate and complex ties. Therefore, Xi Jinping doesn't understand this at all. Originally, Xi Jinping was a politician, not a military man. Under such circumstances, he knows nothing about their internal relationships. For example, how they did business together in the 1980s—you once did me a favor, and I once did you a favor—how could Xi Jinping possibly know that? He has no idea at all. And these people won't talk about it either; things were operated in a black box to begin with, and they wouldn't spill the beans. But between you and me, we have an exceptionally close relationship. Therefore, Xi Jinping has now offended the most powerful and formidable group of people in China—the military princelings.

In a video I made yesterday, I was talking about what Xi Jinping is going to do next. What is he going to do? It is something called the Yan'an Rectification Movement. You see, there was a report yesterday that praised the Yan'an Rectification Movement to the skies. Didn't I just make two videos yesterday specifically about the Yan'an Rectification Movement? Have you all noticed what Xi Jinping is doing now? Do you know what the concept of the Yan'an Rectification Movement is? It is Xi Jinping's final card, his political card. The Yan'an Rectification Movement is a political card; it was a political and ideological purge within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Everything before this was about anti-corruption or economic issues. Xi Jinping is currently arresting everyone primarily on economic grounds, saying you are a corrupt element so I am locking you up. But from now on, he has played his final card, which is the political card—the political line. The Yan'an Rectification Movement was a game of political lines within the CCP, which ultimately established Mao Zedong's absolute leadership power within the Party. Xi Jinping is doing exactly this now. So, what is Xi Jinping facing? He is facing what I talked about yesterday: the Mao Memorial Hall is set to reopen on August 31. Once this lid is lifted, we will know whether Xi Jinping is truly trying to establish his Xi dynasty. Now, Xi Jinping has no choice but to open it; he cannot afford not to. Look at the extent to which Xi Jinping has gone: he has offended so many people, monopolized so many resources, and driven away all the second-generation "reds" and second-generation military elites. Are there any such people in the central government now? There are none. There are no second-generation reds, and no second-generation military elites. Under these circumstances, what is Xi Jinping doing? He has struck down all these people. The people Xi Jinping has brought to power now are all "mud-legged" followers with no foundation—Li Qiang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji, Cai Qi—none of them have any foundation. Only he himself has a foundation; he is a standard second-generation official, right? A second-generation red. So, what is Xi Jinping facing now? He is facing a reckoning from hundreds of families. From now on, Xi Jinping enters a period of life-and-death speed. His life or death will be decided within these three months: May, June, July, and August. Something big is bound to happen within the CCP during these three months. It depends on which faction can win; it depends on which faction can win. If the second-generation military elites can win and turn the tables, then Xi Jinping will be completely finished—thoroughly and completely finished, to the point of being liquidated. His entire family will be tracked down; he will have no way to escape, absolutely none. This includes Peng Liyuan's family, all his cronies, including Cai Qi, Li Qiang, and everyone—everyone associated with Xi will be taken down, all of them.

Now there are rumors coming out of Beijing that everyone is absolutely dissatisfied with Xi Jinping. What is the reason? The reason is, as I mentioned a couple of days ago, they are not talking about internal struggles; they are saying that the matter of Li Keqiang, Li Keqiang's matter must be thoroughly settled—was it really you who did it? This is a starting point, this is a starting point. Now some people in the military have raised the point that Xi Jinping is offending everyone, even ordinary people, because the economy is bad, and everyone knows the whole economy is finished. Isn't that the case now? Now he is bragging, engaged in bragging projects every day. Xi Jinping is now going to suffer, so people are like this, you cannot be that kind of person. Chinese people are often like this: one step forward and two steps back, one step forward and two steps back. You need to make concessions, but Xi Jinping keeps advancing, advancing, advancing, and advancing, until what? He tries to find a way to make it happen. I once said that Xi Jinping targeted the Youth League faction; actually, the Youth League faction—well, they don't control the military. The Youth League faction members could be removed by him at will. The Youth League faction members were the guarantee for the princelings and military princelings, the guarantee of their interests. Because these people would not liquidate the princelings and military princelings, but these people could—the princelings and military princelings wouldn't even need to step forward, yet the Youth League faction could run the entire country, and they wouldn't offend these people, helping them make money. These people are actually princelings, and the Youth League faction is essentially the servant of these interest groups. Now Xi Jinping is done for; that is why Xi Jinping wants to carry out that set of things called the Yan'an Rectification Movement—what is rectification? Rectification starts with a massive political purge. The way he arrests people now is not about how many assets you have, but that your political line is wrong, and you are taken away directly. Some even—that Yan'an Rectification Movement was extremely fierce; it was a massive purge within the Communist Party where countless heads rolled. I once mentioned that back then, more than fifty people inside the Communist Party, all very key figures, committed suicide themselves. To pledge loyalty, they pledged loyalty by committing suicide. You see, they were people who went to Yan'an, doing this thing in Yan'an, right? In the 1930s or 1940s. Many people committed suicide, and later all these people were completely rehabilitated, all wrongly killed. These people themselves were all Marxists, Marxists. What is Xi Jinping doing now? It is that these people want to protect the interests of their entire group. Xi Jinping is saying all your assets are mine now; what the Xi family says goes, I am the boss, hand over all your assets and give them all to me. Well, then it's over, it's over. This path that Xi Jinping is taking now is something no one is willing to see. These official princelings and military princelings—actually, back then, their families were persecuted by Mao, right? Some were persecuted in earlier movements, some were heavily persecuted during the Cultural Revolution, and some even died, right? Look at Deng Xiaoping's son, who jumped from a building and became disabled, living his whole life like that, right? Many people died or committed suicide. Including, including even someone in Xi Jinping's own family who committed suicide, it seems. Just imagine under these circumstances, now Xi Jinping is turning around and doing this, so these princelings and military princelings, especially the military princelings, will definitely not let him off.

Look, from now until the end of August, I predict that a major event will occur within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), a life-or-death struggle, right? They cannot let him continue to reverse the course. If they let him reverse the course, no one will have food to eat, and everyone will be locked in a cage, to be manipulated by Xi Jinping at will, right? At that time, they will have nothing, no one. What Xi Jinping is doing within the CCP is essentially a robbery. He has robbed all the interests of the various families that once belonged to the CCP. Xi Jinping wants to take it all, to monopolize all the resources of this country. So, everyone, wait, just wait, just wait. Oh, let me tell you, there are two ways for the CCP to collapse. One way is that it collapses from within itself. Everyone is starting to see the other way, which is from the outside. If the external families step down now, the CCP will collapse even worse. So, I say Xi Jinping will not dare to go to war, he doesn't dare to, that is the reason, he just doesn't dare to go to war. How could he dare to go to war? If he goes to war, the internal situation will fall into chaos, because everyone is waiting to settle scores with him. Just think about it, you want to establish a dictatorship, so where does that leave us? Who fought for this regime? It wasn't just you, it wasn't just your father Xi Zhongxun who fought for it alone. There are many people within the CCP like this, many families like this, where the whole family participated in the CCP, some were killed in action, and some survived. There are many second-generation military officials in the CCP, brothers, for example, four brothers, all of whom joined the CCP together, and in the end, some died. Look at Mao, it was like that, Mao's younger brother was killed in Xinjiang, right? Mao was like that, Mao's wife Yang Kaihui was killed, right? So, everyone has blood debts, right? Everyone contributed, so who fought for this world? It was everyone who participated in fighting for it. It is not like you, Xi Jinping, who now dominates alone and gathers all these interests into his Xi family dynasty. Xi Jinping cannot step down now, right? After he amended the constitution, if you say let someone else with a different surname take his place, he knows that others will settle scores with him, right? He has settled scores, because to this day, he has purged all factions. So he knows that as long as he steps down, as long as it is not someone from the Xi family in power, he will definitely be purged, definitely be purged. All his assets will also be taken away, he will have nothing, nothing at all, and his whole family will be at risk. It is already impossible for him to step down peacefully. People inside the CCP have the intent to kill. Look at Xi Jinping, what is this? It is that he has done evil to the point of pushing himself into the spotlight, right? He has closed himself off. Alright, I will stop here for today's topic. You can see that today's Elite Forum is a pre-recorded broadcast, it will probably come out tomorrow. I discussed this topic with the Elite Forum. That discussion might go into more detail, you can watch it when you have time. Alright, thank you for watching, see you in the next program.
