Zhang Shengmin Begins Defecting from Xi Jinping! He May Have Become a Key Figure in the Anti-Xi Camp.
This episode mainly discusses the current power crisis facing the Central Military Commission and Xi Jinping. The host points out that as Xi Jinping becomes increasingly isolated within the Party, his control over the military is gradually slipping away, and the security and actual control of the August First Building have returned to the hands of the military. In particular, it is reported that Xi Jinping's cousin, Central Military Commission Vice Chairman Zhang Shengmin, has replaced his security detail and is now protected by nearly a hundred military personnel, which is seen as a possible defection to the anti-Xi camp. The program analyzes the strategic posture of the Central Theater Command toward Beijing, suggesting that Xi Jinping is facing a severe political and military predicament, and his regime is on the verge of collapse.

Hello, viewers and friends! Let's talk a bit more about some matters concerning the CCP Central Military Commission. Xi Jinping, let me tell you, up to the present day, the Communist Party—over this century, a hundred years—has never seen such a division, never ever. Just think about it, the number of people turning against Xi Jinping now is massive, absolutely massive. I already talked about this in the previous episode: the control of the Central Military Commission is no longer in Xi Jinping's hands. That is to say, Xi Jinping's, um, these people from the, uh, Central Security Bureau have all been replaced, all replaced. The actual control of the August 1st Building by the Central Military Commission, including many currently, including those in Shijingshan and various other military units in various places, has already returned to the hands of the troops, to the hands of the military. So that's one thing. Second, there is now news that Zhang Youxia's—wait, Zhang Shengmin's—own security detail, his guards, were originally handled by the Central Security Bureau. Now, how many people are around Zhang Shengmin? There are nearly one hundred people protecting him, and these one hundred people are military personnel, not people from the Central Security Bureau. So Zhang Shengmin is still working in the August 1st Building. What kind of person is Zhang Shengmin? He is actually Xi Jinping's cousin. As for Xi Jinping now, I said yesterday, Xi Jinping has reached the point of being deserted by his followers, because everyone knows that as long as I follow you—Xi Jinping also realizes that as long as I follow you, you have already gone this far, you have already offended so many people, and so many people are opposing you, and they are already openly opposing you within the party, right? Everyone is already armed, already armed and banded together. Once you fall, all these people are going to be implicated. So everyone is now cutting ties with Xi Jinping. Cutting ties, including Zhang Shengmin. Now Xi Jinping has no way to enter the August 1st Building. Originally, he was just acting like a fox assuming the majesty of a tiger, but now that is gone, there is no place for him anymore. Zhang Shengmin still has a place; Zhang Shengmin is, after all, the Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, right? So he still has a place in the August 1st Building, but his security work has nothing to do with the Central Security Bureau anymore. He knows very well that his own safety is the most important thing. When a person reaches a life-and-death juncture—Xi Jinping has actually reached a life-and-death juncture—why does he emphasize so-called strict party governance? In reality, he has too many opponents; now almost the entire party is his opponent, and everyone wants to find a way to devour him and force him to step down. Therefore, under these circumstances, Zhang Shengmin has already turned against him. Zhang Shengmin was born in 1958, and at age 20 he entered the Lanzhou Military Region, always in the artillery, always in the artillery, starting from a low-level private and working his way up step by step. What is the relationship between Zhang Shengmin and Xi Jinping? Zhang Shengmin—Xi Jinping's father probably had several younger brothers and sisters below him; his father was the eldest. There seemed to be quite a few younger sisters. Zhang Shengmin's mother was Xi Zhongxun's sister, and their age difference was actually quite large, quite large. So Zhang Shengmin is the child of his sister, which means the two of them are cousins, cousins. Zhang Shengmin is from Shaanxi, just like Xi Jinping. But his sister married someone—perhaps not in the same village or the exact same place, but maybe living about one or two hundred li away, roughly one or two hundred li away from where she married, yeah.
So, back in the 1950s, was it fake? Was it fake in the 50s? At that time, uh, Xi Zhongxun and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had already seized power. Xi Zhongxun was very prominent back then, very prominent indeed. Later, Zhang Shengmin was born in 1958. After he was born, because Xi Jinping was originally from the Northwest—he was from the old Northwest—he had some subordinates who were originally in the Lanzhou Military Region. These were from various military regions at the time. The Lanzhou Military Region was a very large military region; it was a very significant military region in the Northwest called the Lanzhou Military Region. Everyone knows that, right? It is very famous. So, Zhang Shengmin became an artilleryman there; he became an artilleryman in 1958. After becoming an artilleryman, he stayed in the artillery units. Later, it was actually called the Second Artillery Corps, and the Second Artillery Corps was, in fact, the predecessor of the Rocket Force. Ah, everyone knows the Second Artillery Corps. The Second Artillery Corps was originally just, well, it was all artillery, just ordinary anti-aircraft guns and such, which later turned into this missile unit. Later, the missile unit became the Rocket Force, called the Rocket Force. So, Zhang Shengmin has always been in this system. When did Zhang Shengmin come to Beijing? Excuse me, Zhang Shengmin's arrival in Beijing was arranged by Xi Jinping. It was probably after Xi Jinping had secured his position, after Xi Jinping came to Beijing, that he arranged for Zhang Shengmin, started arranging positions for him. So, Zhang Shengmin later became an important banner for Xi Jinping, because although they are family, this kind of cousin-level family relationship is completely different from one's immediate family—completely different, completely different. Therefore, although he has affection for Zhang Shengmin, Zhang Shengmin is currently very clear that he also has a wife and children, he also has children, he also has a clan, and he also has a family, right? He is surnamed Zhang, and the other is surnamed Xi; cousins are completely different. As Chinese people say, cousins are distant relatives, while paternal cousins are close relatives, right? Paternal cousins, in the past, Chinese people talked about ancestral halls, and daughters were like spilled water, right? Daughters who marry out are like spilled water. Since he is surnamed Zhang, it is impossible for Zhang Shengmin to become his number two person. Ah, so Zhang Shengmin only assists him, only assists him, and helps him watch over things. Later, they started doing things like the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Zhang Shengmin did this, did this work, helping him arrest those in the military who opposed him, the dissidents, those who posed a threat to his entire career. Zhang Shengmin was the one doing this work, which is to say, he was actually just a thug, just a thug. Ah, in the name of discipline, right? It is like this within the CCP, including Deng Xiaoping, including, including this Deng Xiaoping, and later this, uh, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao, they were all like this—using the name of anti-corruption to start arresting their opponents, which is to weaken the capabilities of their opponents.
So Zhang Shengmin, let's say, if Zhang Shengmin and Xi Jinping are at odds, meaning there's a split, then Xi Jinping truly becomes a lone commander, a lone commander, a lone commander. That is to say, the orders he issues within the Central Military Commission can no longer be executed. Zhang Shengmin, whose very presence was once his banner, has now become his opponent, meaning he will oppose him at every turn, right? Moreover, the situation with Zhang Shengmin right now is that he has over a hundred people protecting him. Ah, so if you want to make a move against Zhang Shengmin, it is very difficult, very difficult. At that time, a major event would occur. Furthermore, what is behind these one hundred plus people supporting Zhang Shengmin? Behind them is his army, and his army is likely the Central Theater Command. I know, and I want everyone to understand, the Central Theater Command has 250,000 infantrymen. These infantrymen are tasked with defending Beijing, known as defending the Party Central Committee. Defending the Party Central Committee now does not mean defending Xi Jinping; it means opposing Xi Jinping. Now Xi Jinping has become their enemy. In other words, at the sound of a single order, Xi Jinping is very likely to be captured instantly. Hmm, furthermore, the personnel in the Central Guard Bureau are all about to defect, all about to turn against Xi. Because once the Central Guard Bureau and the personnel of the Central Theater Command exchange fire, I think those in the Central Guard Bureau will undoubtedly die, for sure. When the inside of the Communist Party starts fighting, it comes down to strength, it comes down to strength. That is completely different from a regular field army. The 81st Group Army, the 82nd Group Army, and the 83rd Group Army—these troops of the Central Theater Command are the most elite infantry troops in China, the most elite infantry troops. Ah, so these forces, these troops, if they were to launch a counterattack, the entire city of Beijing would be completely surrounded, and Xi Jinping would become a turtle in a jar, with absolutely no way out. Ah, so under such circumstances, even if Xi Jinping wanted to surrender now, he wouldn't have the chance; he no longer has the opportunity to surrender, because the things he has done have already—I have always been saying—he has already hanged himself up. I have always said that regarding the many things Xi Jinping has done, he keeps tying himself up, tying himself up until in the end he doesn't even have a chance left. He kicked away a stool. Look at this time, he even kicked out Hu Chunhua. Now both of Xi Jinping's feet are suspended in mid-air, both feet suspended in mid-air. He is still relying on his hands to stubbornly hold onto a rope. The day that rope can no longer hold, then he's done for. Then he's done for. Therefore, Xi Jinping being abandoned by his followers and alienated by everyone to this day is entirely brought about by his own hands. Man is simply arrogant, man is arrogant. That's why I say, what is his ultimate opponent? His ultimate opponent is actually not the princelings or the military second-generation, but God; it is what God has arranged for him. Ah, he is fighting against God, right? He is contending with God for the throne. This is his current realm at present. This person is like this—to give you an analogy, I can only carry 200 jin, so you can only carry 200 jin. If you say you want to carry 500 jin, you will crush and kill yourself, right? Ah, he has been operating under a high-load state all this time. The things he does are things that, logically speaking, he has completely no capability to do, completely no capability to do, right? To do something, you must have long-term accumulation.
This is very simple, just like when I used to do R&D. For example, in R&D, you must have a foundation of accumulation before you can gradually enter a higher level of technology. If you have no foundation, it's exactly like Oracle. They have been making databases, the largest databases in the world, for decades. If you say China, if you say the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), if you say you're going to start a company with 50,000 or 100,000 people and become an Oracle, you don't even have the basics, so how are you going to do it? There's no way, just like what China is doing now. It's the same with making cars. Look at Japan, Germany, the UK, and the US—how many years have they been making cars? Every car model they produce has to undergo repeated testing, experimentation, and market validation—decades of validation—before they continuously launch new models. But the CCP is different. They brag, 'I'm making cars,' and then they just piece together some technologies from others and make them directly. In the end, look at Chinese cars now. Do you have any? You can't even compare your gasoline cars to theirs. And if you drive an electric car, look at what it has become—a mobile incinerator? Often, while driving, a fire just suddenly breaks out, burning people alive. These are all facts. Of course, this is just on the surface. For cars, if you want to build them, you need chassis technology, bearing technology, all kinds of technologies, and transmission technology—it's incredible, there's a huge amount of it. You simply cannot break through these technical barriers. It's the same with Xi Jinping; he simply doesn't have the ability or the resources. He thought that after reaching a certain level—why was he so smooth before? Because he had always been in politics. People in politics are relatively easier to deal with compared to those in the military, and there were no particularly strong opponents. For example, when Bo Xilai was arrested, he was just arrested. It wouldn't trigger a chain reaction; it was just him alone. The military is different. If you arrest someone in the military, their entire family is in the military. If these people turn against you, they have weapons; they have the right to self-defense. It's very simple, to use an analogy: it's easy to rob ordinary people in China, but try robbing ordinary people in the US. American citizens are armed; that is the difference, that is the difference. So, in the US, you see many families don't even need fences. A large farm, a house without even a perimeter wall, yet no one dares to enter at will. The military is the same principle; it's a restricted zone. Because Xi Jinping has no roots in the military, if people oppose him, he starts arresting them. Now that this situation has emerged, the military is completely different from the political sphere, completely different from within the Party. People will just pick up their guns and oppose him. It has already reached this point.
Ah, the current situation in Beijing is extremely dangerous and tense. On one hand, Xi, the military power and military resources controlled by Xi are limited, while the resources against Xi are massive, encompassing the entire system of China, the nationwide system. As long as there is any clash between the anti-Xi forces and Xi in Beijing, the whole country will go to support Beijing. That is the current situation for Xi Jinping. Zhang Shengmin, therefore, Zhang Shengmin himself now needs to protect himself and abandon Xi; he can no longer stay with Xi. So he has replaced his own guards, replaced the guards. Otherwise, he doesn't even know, he himself doesn't know either. Now, the mere replacement of his guards actually proves that he has already signaled to the anti-Xi faction that he is on their side. That I, with this big cousin, ah, I with this cousin, ah, have—previously we were together, now I have separated from him. It is very likely that Xi Jinping, ah, might be harmed at the hands of his cousin, might be harmed at his cousin's hand, because his cousin is closest to him, closest to him, right? Therefore, Xi Jinping, ah, this Xi Jinping doesn't sleep at all at night; for probably at least a year or two, he hasn't slept well, so people—Xi Jinping's eyes couldn't even see later, his eyeballs couldn't be seen, his eyes were squinted into slits, and his face was swollen to a terrible degree. This is his vicious cycle, um, what Buddhism calls, calls it, karma, isn't it? Karmic debt, getting heavier and heavier. Karmic debt, karma, is it called karma, right? These kinds of bad things, ah, have been gathering in his body, ah. This is the state of his own making right now. In fact, back in 2018, I had already—already—already said it, publicly said it. If Xi Jinping continues like this, step by step, he will ultimately back himself into a corner where there is no way out, making everyone oppose him and leaving him utterly isolated. Now Xi Jinping has reached the point of being utterly isolated, ah, nobody is willing to be buried along with him, and everyone knows that he is about to step down soon, about to step down soon, right? Alright, thank you all for watching, ah! When there is new news, I will do another show and live stream for you. Thank you all.
