Has Xi Jinping lost power? In recent days, in terms of the exposure ratio of the CCP’s official media, the proportion of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council has changed. The wind fills the building.” Of course, the mountains and rains are coming towards Xi Jinping. He pointed out that there are various signs that, to some extent, Xi Jinping, the top leader of the Communist Party, has lost his dominance over the political situation and has been put on hold.
Akio Yaita shared his observations on the CCP’s official media on Facebook. He found that the CCP’s official media’s coverage of Xi Jinping has been greatly reduced in recent days, and instead, a lot of Li Keqiang’s pages have increased, especially in this year near the 20th National Representative of the Communist Party of China. At the time of the conference, in addition to Xinhua News Agency and People’s Daily on May 14, Li Keqiang’s remarks three weeks ago were published at the same time. The remarks exceeded 9,000 words. On May 17, the front page of People’s Daily even excluded Xi Jinping. , published two reports, “Li Keqiang Talks on the Phone with Pakistani Prime Minister Shabazz” and “Wang Yang chaired the meeting of the chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.” Akio Yaita believes that the Chinese state media’s ignoring of Xi Jinping’s actions is an unusual precursor.
In addition, Li Keqiang’s own actions seem to be full of hints. Akio Yaita mentioned that when Li Keqiang inspected Yunnan University, hundreds of people including Li Keqiang did not wear masks, which is undoubtedly a response to the dynamic zero epidemic prevention policy led by Xi Jinping. A kind of provocation, Yaita Akio even interpreted it as sending a signal to the domestic and foreign countries that “China’s epidemic prevention policy may change”.
Akio Yaita analyzed that the fact that the Xi faction was on the defensive in the power struggle had already emerged two months ago. He was forced to retire early at the end of March; Liao Guoxun, a rising star of the Xi faction and mayor of Tianjin, committed suicide after being interviewed by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in April. Now it seems that this should be an action against the Xi faction.
Counting down the precedents of the top leaders of the Communist Party who were made false because of unpopular policies, Akio Yaita mentioned that, with the exception of Hua Guofeng, who gradually became marginalized after being excluded, Mao Zedong and Jiang Zemin eventually survived the crisis of losing power and regained their stability. Now that the Communist Youth League faction led by Li Keqiang, Wang Yang, etc. is taking advantage of the rise, how will Xi Jinping respond? Akio Yaita suggested that China’s policies on the epidemic and Russia can be used as targets. When these two policies change, it means that Xi Jinping has indeed lost control of the political situation. right.
