In order to maintain its regime, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been continuously carrying out internal purges, with several high-ranking officials falling before the National Day.

Freelance writer Zhuge Mingyang believes that Xi Jinping is intensifying internal struggles in the name of “anti-corruption,” using it as a means to purge the original Jiang faction and all “dangerous individuals” who are disloyal to him. However, for the thoroughly corrupt CCP, it is a process of self-destruction, where they cannot save their lives or their power.
He told Epoch Times, “The current situation of the CCP is internal fighting combined with external pressure. Both internal and external factors are working towards the same goal, which is to end this evil regime. The CCP is on the brink of collapse.”
