Could Xi Fall Because of 69 Votes? Wen Jiabao Strikes Back, 5th Plenum Final Battle

Rumors that Hu Jintao’s entire family has run into trouble are still spreading rapidly across online forums. In recent years, Xi Jinping has moved with increasing force, while Hu Jintao has never once retaliated directly.
Why would a man holding a “loaded gun” choose not to pull the trigger?
The answer points to a far more complicated power struggle: three rival factions locked in a tug-of-war around Zhongnanhai, a covert network operating beyond the reach of the formal system, and a battle for every single vote ahead of the October Central Committee meeting—where just 69 votes could determine Xi Jinping’s political fate.
