Four Weeks After Xi’s Purge: Where Is Zhang Youxia?

Four weeks after Xi Jinping moved against his two most powerful generals, Beijing remains locked in a dangerous stalemate. No official charges. No confirmed detention site. Not even confirmation of whether Zhang Youxia is still alive. As rumors swirl and red aristocratic families demand answers, the CCP’s silence itself has become the crisis. This episode breaks down why Xi’s camp can’t “produce” Zhang Youxia, how using public security to seize military leaders humiliates the PLA, and why elites are starting to build their own protection networks—an early warning sign of systemic breakdown inside the regime.
