Analysis of the Wagner Mutiny: Shaking Zhongnanhai High-level Personal Authority Failure

Although the mutiny of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group has come to an end, the incident severely damaged the Putin regime and seriously weakened its position. Some analysts believe that this short-lived attempted coup has also made Zhongnanhai restless. Some analysts also pointed out that the incident once again exposed the failure of the individual authoritarian system, and this move shook the CCP leadership.
On 24 June, Prigozin, the head of the Russian mercenary Wagner Group, launched a mutiny and marched into Moscow, aiming to overthrow the top Russian military. Later, Putin called it a "treachery, stabbing in the back" and would be punished. Finally, under the mediation of Belarus, Prigozin suspended the operation and agreed to go into exile in Belarus.
Public opinion believes that this incident poses the biggest challenge to Putin in more than 20 years and may permanently weaken his position. An editorial in the French newspaper Le Monde pointed out that Putin's international devaluation may continue.
Prigozin launched a mutiny, which was also the scene that Zhongnanhai's senior management feared the most. This sudden incident quickly occupied the hot topic lists of media and social media around the world, and people from all walks of life in mainland China also gathered to watch. According to reports, related topics on Weibo have been read more than 700 million times.
Political commentator Zhou Xiaohui wrote in The Epoch Times a few days ago that this shows that the mainland people also hope that the same mutiny can take place in Beijing's symbolic Tiananmen Square, or in the adjacent Zhongnanhai, where the CCP's top leaders are located, to overthrow the oppression of the people. of the Chinese Communist regime.
Zhou Xiaohui said that the sudden mutiny of Wagner's mercenaries must have shocked the high-level officials in Zhongnanhai who have been supporting Putin in various aspects such as politics, economy, and military affairs. After being shocked, they were not only worried about Putin's safety, but also worried about the impact of the mutiny on Russia's political situation, The impact of the Russo-Ukrainian war is more worrying about the mainland people swiping Tiananmen Square and discussing the topic of "whether the party can command the guns".
At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October last year, Xi Jinping, 69, was re-elected for the third time. Since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi has been most worried about security issues, and has repeatedly emphasized security. In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the word "security" was mentioned 50 times, and the word "struggle" appeared 17 times, which is even more worrying about the situation of the army.
On 30 May 2023, when Xi Jinping presided over the first meeting of the National Security Council after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he said that "the complexity and difficulty of the national security issues we are facing have increased significantly" and "prepared to withstand the major challenges of high winds and even turbulent waves." test".
Zhou Xiaohui said, how could the Prigozin mutiny prevent Zhongnanhai from sleeping and eating? And who can guarantee that the bloody people in the army will not seize the opportunity, use public opinion, and imitate Prigozin to force the palace one day? It is said that the world is unpredictable, maybe one day Zhongnanhai will expose a big event that shocks the world!
On 27 June 2023, Voice of America published an article written by Jiang Feng, saying that the indirect impact of the Wagner mutiny on Chinese politics may be no less than that of the Putin regime, and the situation is far more serious than outside estimates, not just a so-called "uncertain moment."
The article stated that the Wagner mutiny occurred against the background of Ukraine’s counter-offensive and the Russian army retreating step by step. It not only sounded the clarion call for the end of the war militarily, but also reminded the CCP leadership of a cruel fact. It means that the leadership of the CCP should worry about all the seemingly loyal confidantes around them. Everyone may be double-faced people or potential traitors that have not been exposed yet. This is the biggest threat to the current personal authoritarian system.
The article argues that when the ruling group eliminates all competitors inside and outside the party and civil society under the pretext of preventing color revolutions, the only subversive threat can only come from within the core of power, just like Prigozin and his Russian oligarchs as shown by the cryptic supporters. In this sense, the Wagner mutiny once again exposed the failure of the individual authoritarian system to the CCP leadership who had always feared a coup. Perhaps this is what the ruling elites of the CCP have seen but cannot say, and it is also what they fear the most.
Dr. Jason, a current affairs commentator, said in "Current Affairs Focus", "Xi Jinping will feel panic when he sees the mutiny in Russia. Any superficial strength will be very fragile at a certain point in time. After this incident, Xi Jinping will His military and power are more insecure, more paranoid."
Self-media host Li Dayu said, "Don't think that the CCP, which has just expressed its support for Putin's so-called "counter-insurgency", will learn from this incident and make calculations and schemes. In the end, it is no match for the laws of the universe. Even if the CCP avoided Prigozin, it could not avoid Zhang Ligozin, Cai Ligozin, what should be paid back, and when the time comes, it will be returned."
