India recycling FG propaganda?
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s unusual disappearance from public view between May 21 and June 5 this year has sparked intense speculation about internal political adjustments at the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party. However, top intelligence sources have told CNN-News18 that Xi Jinping’s absence is not unusual, and China has a history of sidelining prominent leaders.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has previously done this with three notable leaders, reducing their operational authority to mere ceremonial roles, say sources. Currently, real power lies with General Zhang Youxia, the First Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), who is backed by CCP seniors from the Hu Jintao faction, according to top intelligence sources.
