BREAKING : NFSC Intel Confirmed - Arrests of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli Signal An Elite Rupture Inside the CCP!

Yesterday morning, mainland China time, Zhang Youxia, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, was detained in Beijing, while Liu Zhenli, chief of the PLA Joint Staff Department, was taken into custody in northeastern China.

This extraordinary internal action constitutes one of the most consequential political-military events in decades, because Zhang Youxia is not a normal target within the CCP system.

Why Zhang Youxia matters
Zhang Youxia is widely regarded as a top-tier power broker within the People’s Liberation Army and a central pillar sustaining Xi Jinping’s personal control of the armed forces. His authority is not merely institutional. It is deeply personal.

Zhang’s standing is rooted in decades of political trust and mutual loyalty originating in the fathers’ generation of both Zhang and Xi. That bond predates Xi Jinping’s rise to power and has endured through every phase of his consolidation of authority.

Zhang has been the most important, most central, and most irreplaceable ally in Xi Jinping’s pursuit of personal political power. It is no exaggeration to state that within Xi’s internal hierarchy of trust, Zhang ranked second only to Xi himself and Xi’s own brother, even above Xi’s wife Peng Liyuan and his brother in law Peng Lei.

Under the governing logic of Xi’s rule until now, no corruption allegation or personal misconduct would have justified action against Zhang. Even if Zhang had plundered half the country, Xi would not have moved against him, because removing Zhang risked destabilizing the very system that secures Xi’s power.

The true reason
NFSC intelligence points to a single decisive explanation for the arrests of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli. Their alignment changed. Put plainly, it involved collusion with the United States, betrayal of Xi Jinping, and defection from the CCP camp.

In authoritarian systems, loyalty, not legality, is the ultimate red line. Once that line is crossed, even the most trusted enforcer becomes an existential threat.

Strategic significance for U.S. audiences
The implications are immediate and profound.

First, elite cohesion is collapsing. Action against a high trust military pillar signals fear at the top, not confidence.
Second, PLA command reliability is being disrupted. Arrests and purges at the summit produce paralysis, mistrust, and risk avoidance across sensitive operational and security chains.
Third, Xi Jinping may be entering a high risk phase of his rule.

When a dictator targets someone this close, it reflects a shift from governance to regime survival behavior, a pattern historically associated with intensified repression at home and unpredictable external signaling.

NFSC final assessment
The founder of NFSC, Mr. Miles Guo, believes that the CCP regime is currently at its weakest, most fearful, and most out of control point since its founding. Core factions within the PLA are consumed by mutual suspicion, senior leadership is engaged in internal purges, and the system itself is showing signs of comprehensive structural breakdown.

We assess that this moment is a rare strategic window for the United States to apply decisive pressure on the CCP and accelerate the regime’s historic reckoning.
