A silent coup has placed Xi under house arrest, where he remains the titular head of the CCP. Former Xi ally, General Zhang Youxia controls the People’s Liberation Army after dozens of Xi allies were purged. Zhang is supporting the anti-Xi forces as they work behind the scenes.

China is in a slow but irreversible state of economic collapse.

Elder CCP leaders such as Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao, and Li Ruihan are quietly re-ordering the CCP back towards Deng Xiaoping’s reform policies. Expect a new Chinese leader after the fourth plenum later this year.

This portends better relations with the West in the future but will do nothing to stem the tide of economic destruction that’s swamping China.

China’s deflationary downturn will create an vacuum in the global economy. Demand for commodities and high-end manufactured products will decline leaving the emerging markets in turmoil in addition to Germany, Japan, and South Korea. This is the EVENT that breaks the post-2008 model.
