IRAN WAR | Is This Xi’s Window to Move on Taiwan?

Could the Iran war create a strategic window for Xi to move on Taiwan?

As the 2026 Two Sessions in Beijing came to an end, a series of unusual claims began circulating from inside China’s political circles. A businessman from Fujian released a message overseas suggesting that Xi Jinping might attempt to use the geopolitical shock of the Iran conflict as an opportunity to change the situation across the Taiwan Strait.

The message also included several striking allegations:
that Zhang Youxia had previously blocked Xi’s Taiwan plans, that divisions inside Beijing’s leadership have deepened, and that tensions between different political factions are now shaping China’s strategic decisions.

In this episode of FinalWar with Katherine Hu, we examine these claims one by one.

What do recent intelligence assessments actually say about the Taiwan timeline?
Who currently holds real influence over China’s military leadership?
And as Donald Trump prepares for a possible visit to Beijing, could international diplomacy reshape the balance inside China’s political system?

Behind the rumors lies a larger question about power, strategy, and timing in Beijing.

If a strategic window were to emerge, would Xi Jinping truly be able to act—or is China’s leadership now too divided to move in a single direction?
