As the Two Sessions approach, the anti-Xi camp faces a narrowing window to act. Inside the CCP, three forces are now moving at once: Zeng Qinghong’s conservative bloc, the Hu–Wen bureaucratic camp, and the red princeling clans. Negotiations over Zhang Youxia’s fate are stalling, information controls are escalating, and elites are quietly preparing their own security. This episode breaks down why the late-February Politburo meeting is the real deadline, how Xi may use the Two Sessions to force loyalty from generals, and why Beijing is entering its most dangerous power struggle phase in decades.
