Military Forces Xi Out? Wen Jiabao Confronts Zeng Qinghong, Beijing Bows to Trump?

On July 6, at 12:01 p.m., a strategic nuclear submarine of the Chinese People's Liberation Army ventured deep into the Pacific Ocean and launched a submarine-launched strategic ballistic missile. According to foreign media reports, the missile landed in the South Pacific.
A few hours later, during the Chinese Foreign Ministry's regular press briefing in Beijing, a reporter from China Central Television (CCTV) asked, "Did President Xi Jinping send a congratulatory message to the President of the United States on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of American Independence?" Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning immediately confirmed, "Yes, he did."
Could these two events be connected to the internal power struggle within Zhongnanhai?
It appears that the Chinese Communist Party's military may no longer be fully obeying the person at the very top. If that is indeed the case, then for whom, exactly, was the missile launched on July 6?
Let's take a closer look.
