Xi Jinping Forced to Back Down? Major Twist in Zhang Youxia Case
Recently, people outside China have again been paying close attention to whether Zhang Youxia will be treated leniently.
Some believe that, given Xi Jinping’s personality, he is unlikely to let Zhang go easily. However, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out.
One thing is clear: this would not be Xi’s original choice. Instead, it would mean that he was forced to step back because of an internal power struggle within the Chinese Communist Party.
Others believe that the way Zhang Youxia is dealt with could affect whether Xi Jinping can stay in power for another term at the CCP’s 21st National Congress.
