On 5 June 2025, the CCP mouthpiece reported a news flash about the call between Trump and Xi, which only had 14 words and did not mention Xi's title. (Webpage screenshot)

At a time of tension between the United States and China, U.S. President Trump had a phone call with Xi Jinping. The party media news flash only reported 14 words and only wrote Xi Jinping's name, without giving him any title.

At 8.50 pm Beijing time on 5 June 2025, the party media Xinhua News Agency issued a news flash, the text of which simply copied the title: "Xinhua News Agency News: Xi Jinping had a phone call with U.S. President Trump." If "Xinhua News Agency News" is removed, the entire report has only 14 words.

In the entire news flash, no title was added to Xi Jinping. Compared with the call between Trump and Xi on 17 January 2025, the news flash issued by Xinhua News Agency at that time only had one sentence, but the content mentioned the time of the call and wrote Xi's title "President of the State".

A few minutes after the news flash without a title was released, Xinhua News Agency issued another report, adding the time of the call and Xi's title.

This report does not have the word "breaking news", which seems to be an official report, but it still has only one sentence and does not mention any content of the conversation between the two people, which is also quite strange.

At present, the U.S.-China trade negotiations have reached a deadlock and relations are tense. The outside world is concerned that the theme of the call between Trump and Xi may be bilateral trade but some analysts pointed out that Xi Jinping may have lost his decision-making power in the internal struggle of the Communist Party of China.

Prior to this, Belarusian President Lukashenko visited Beijing from 2 to 4 June 2025, and the Belarusian official media repeatedly emphasized that he would meet with Xi Jinping but the Communist Party of China’s party media and officials kept silent. It was not until 4 June 2025 that Xi Jinping met with Lukashenko, and contrary to the norm, the two met in Zhongnanhai, and not in Xi’s office.

The Belarusian official emphasized that Lukashenko’s visit this time was "not a working visit, nor a formal state visit, but a special visit for a family-style friendly lunch." The outside world interpreted this as possibly indicating that Xi Jinping did not meet with foreign heads of state on a "formal state visit" as the top leader of the Communist Party of China.

The military newspaper replaced Xi Jinping the protagonist and secretly cursed him while CCTV highlights Zhang Youxia's actual control of military power

Looking through the reports in the People's Daily, I found that there had been no reports about Xi Jinping on its front page for three days from the 2nd to the 4th. Xi Jinping is invisible in the official media of the Chinese Communist Party. If there is no problem with the official media, then there is a problem with Xi Jinping.

Since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in July last year, there have been rumors online that Zhang Youxia, the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, has taken control of the military. The CPC’s military newspaper has also frequently released abnormal signals.

On June 1, the Liberation Army Daily published an article entitled "Advocating the Virtue of Loyalty to the Party", which is very mysterious. In the past, if loyalty was mentioned, it would definitely be written about loyalty to Xi Jinping, "Xi Jinping, Chairman of the Central Military Commission, is the commander-in-chief of the entire army." But this time, only "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" was mentioned.

This time, the protagonist of the article is not Xi Jinping, but Deng Xiaoping. The article says "the entire army should learn from their spirit of loyalty to the party."

In this regard, commentator Jiang Feng commented: "It is obvious that the military newspaper used Deng Xiaoping to pressure Xi Jinping, secretly cursing: Even Deng Xiaoping, a veteran, must be loyal to the party. What virtue do you have, Xi Jinping, to be above the party and ask everyone to be loyal to you personally?"

Commentator Li Yanming wrote in the Epoch Times that while Xi Jinping's direct line of generals in the military were being deeply purged, signs of Zhang Youxia, the vice chairman of the Military Commission, strengthening his control over the military power continued to emerge.

After Miao Hua was dismissed, there were signs that Zhang Youxia's forces had begun to take over the military political work system. The 7th "National Self-improvement Model and Advanced Disability Assistance Commendation Conference" of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing on May 16, and Zhang Shengmin, member of the Central Military Commission and secretary of the Military Commission's Discipline Inspection Commission, attended on behalf of the military.

Commentator Tang Jingyuan pointed out that the affairs of the disabled are usually managed by the political work department in the military system. "Zhang Shengmin attended on behalf of the military, which means that he has been in charge of the Political Work Department, and it is not ruled out that he has officially served as the director."

Zhang Shengmin and Zhang Youxia have a close relationship, and both are from the Shaanxi Gang. Zhang Shengmin is considered to be Zhang Youxia's confidant.

However, some commentators believe that the rumors that Xi Jinping's power has fallen into the hands of others are not credible. Commentator Wang Jian analyzed that the fall of power requires an opportunity, that is, a coup within the Communist Party of China. Xi Jinping has been in power for 13 years, and he is very good at seizing power. "Although Xi's power has been weakened, his base is still there." Therefore, Wang Jian believes that it is unlikely to happen.

Zhongnanhai is going to reveal its true colours! Is it publicly confirmed that something big has happened to Xi Jinping?

On 3 June 2025, 51-year-old Lu Dongliang was appointed as the acting governor of Shanxi Province, becoming the second "post-70s" provincial government leader of the Communist Party of China after Zhejiang's Liu Jie, and the youngest provincial governor-level official at present. What is more noteworthy is Lu Dongliang's identity behind him: the son-in-law of Guo Shengkun, the former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China, according to the anti-communist Internet celebrity Jiang Wangzheng. Guo Shengkun was revealed to be the cousin of Zeng Qinghong, a Jiang faction leader. This is what commentator Li Muyang said, "According to reliable sources, Guo Shengkun is Zeng Qinghong's cousin."

Lu Dongliang's career has been rapid. He was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee at the end of May, and was promoted to acting governor just a few days later, replacing Jin Xiangjun who was investigated in April. Some analysts believe that in the system of the Communist Party of China that emphasizes factional background, Lu's rapid rise to power is due to the political protection of Guo Shengkun and Zeng Qinghong, which is a typical "nepotism promotion."

Li Muyang pointed out that Lu Dongliang's appointment also indirectly confirmed that the CPC did hold a Politburo meeting in May, but the unusual thing was that the party media did not report on it. He pointed out that if the CPC's top leaders make ministerial-level personnel adjustments, it is usually decided by the Politburo meeting. Lu Dongliang's promotion this time, as well as Zhou Ji's appointment as director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Zheng Yanxiong's dismissal on May 31, are all very likely the results of the decision of the meeting.

But the key is: Such a level of Politburo meeting, but there is no report from Xinhua News Agency and People's Daily, which is very abnormal. Not only that, there has been no news about Xi Jinping on the front page of People's Daily for three consecutive days, which is extremely rare in the internal propaganda mechanism of the CPC.

Li Muyang pointed out directly: People's Daily's "eliminating Xi" for several days, in conjunction with the silencing of the Politburo meeting and a series of personnel reshuffles, may send a signal - Xi Jinping is really in trouble and is no longer as powerful as before.

Some observers warned that the frequent personnel changes in the top leadership of the CPC and the cover-up by the official media may be a prelude to the reorganization of power within Zhongnanhai. The obvious rise of Guo Shengkun and Zeng Qinghong's people has further intensified the speculation that Xi has lost power.
