Internal Power Struggle In China?
A speculative analysis by this substack's frequent anonymous tipster.

I lived in Irvine, Ca for 20 years. Its population is 45% Asian, mostly Chinese. I’m acquainted with many Chinese business people who regularly travel to and from China.
I also have American relatives in the clothing business. One works for a major athletic attire/shoe manufacturing firm and the other a small firm, but both travel regularly to China as production is done there.
I’ve been hearing (although nothing can be proven) that Xi Jinping is being challenged for permanent power by the business side of the CCP who are more financially centered. Like our business class, China has a large corporate group that is more focused on making money than on their country itself. They are centered in Shanghai and other industrialized areas and are opposing Xi’s permanent reinstatement as premier at the upcoming CCP Congress this fall. They feel his covid lockdown policy and belligerent foreign policies have threatened their sources of trade and income. Also, the corruption of local CCP governments has created a huge mortgage crisis that is spreading in China. It dwarfs what happened in the US in 2008 and was caused by corrupt developers in bed with corrupt govt officials. Xi needs to act NOW, before the Fall Party Congress to consolidate his power.
Rumor is that one side of the power struggle is pushing LI Keqiang as a compromise candidate to replace Xi. This would keep the CCP in charge but is acceptable to the Chinese business cabal.
It is possible that Xi’s lockup of Jack Ma and problems with NYSE listed companies (such as Alibaba) possibly forced to move listings to the Hong Kong exchange because Beijing wont open their books to the SEC are examples of Xi’s struggle against the entire business class.
Xi’s constant covid lockdowns have focused on and in the industrial heartland of China where business production and corporate class power is centered. Lockdowns could be orchestrated by Xi also as retaliation against them as these areas are their base of opposition power.
Jennifer Zeng’s you tube channel Inconvenient Truths by Jennifer Zeng - YouTube has mentioned some of this. One leaked audio she played of a CCP meeting stated that the “covid lockdowns were govt practice for military situations that may arise.” It enables control of their population and the massive cargo traffic (hundreds of ships) bottlenecked at their ports conceals ocean military maneuvers perhaps aimed at Taiwan.
The crux of the issue is that The US is pushing Pelosi to visit Taiwan tomorrow to show our resolve in standing up to XI. But what they fail to realize is that XI (if he is being challenged for power at home) may see it in his interest to have a confrontation. A military event will allow him to consolidate all his power against the China business class as a national emergency. It also deflects from the mortgage crises currently happening due to overbuilding via pyramid schemes in China. It will allow him total control of his enemies at home.
Next step: I don’t think China will do anything outright against Pelosi. A huge possibility is that in the not so distant future they will take over the Senkaku Islands. These are small unoccupied islands claimed by China, Taiwan, and Japan. Taking over the islands would enable China to build bases on them which are north of Taiwan. This would block access from Japan or Okinawa into the Taiwan straits. The islands are included in the US commitment to help defend Japan against foreign attack, so our non-response would be another sign of our impotence. Coupled with their manmade islands in the southern strait, they would effectively seal off the Taiwan Strait and become ready for a future invasion of Taiwan itself.
Watch what happens with the Senkaku Islands!!!!!
Attached are 3 recent articles (within the last few weeks) from non main stream media sources that relate to the earlier email I sent you on China’s internal power struggles and perhaps a takeover of the disputed Senkaku islands to create an emergency at home (to help consolidate Xi’s power) as well as respond to the US and threaten Taiwan.
The first article even mentions Li Keqiang as a challenger to Xi at the upcoming CCP Party Congress. (Could be all fake news hype, but could be cutting edge reporting as to what’s coming).

Numerous global events are currently in play to justify PSYOP-WW3.
Do NOT comply
I have read similar. Shanghai and Xi are rivals. Xi has military report to him and not Politbureau. In fact this struggle is why Xi is focused on Shanghai. To hold absolute power Shanghai must be removed as obstacle
Looks like every type of government in the world is infiltrated with bankers.
