Sancai News: Who benefits from Li Keqiang’s death?

[New Three Talents First Release] It was recently announced that Li Keqiang, the former Prime Minister of the Communist Party of China, died of a "heart attack" at the age of 68. As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar at home and abroad, and various conspiracy theories have been rampant in the past few days. However, most of the arguments point to the man behind the scenes being Xi Jinping, the man in power in China today, because when Li Keqiang was the prime minister earlier, he had different ideas or opinions with Xi Jinping. There were some differences at the time, so taking advantage of Li Keqiang's resignation to kill him seems to be a plot that everyone can relate to.

However, the current situation of the CCP is complicated and treacherous, and the operations behind it are complicated and hidden. You might as well think about it further. If the so-called Xi Jinping or the "Xi faction" really wants to take action, will it need to be so impatient and high-profile? What's more, Li Keqiang has been out of office for several months, and he no longer has any real power that can threaten the current regime.

However, what most people at least believe or reasonably doubt is that Li Keqiang's death should not be purely "natural death." This point has been more fully analyzed by many media, whether it is the medical privileges of the top leaders of the Communist Party of China, or Judging from the fact that Li Keqiang himself was still in good health and visited famous places earlier, it is difficult to associate his age and health status with a natural "heart attack" and death from exhaustion. Of course, the so-called rescue process is naturally full of doubts, so I won’t discuss it much here.

If there is a reasonable suspicion that Li Keqiang died of a "heart attack," then who exactly did it and why?

First, let’s take a look at the place where Li Keqiang died of exhaustion: Shanghai. Shanghai has always been the home base and headquarters of a large group of the Chinese Communist Party, the "Jiang Clan". The so-called "Jiang Clan" is an interest group headed by Jiang Zemin. Although Jiang Zemin left office many years later, there are still many people in his gang who are in power and have vested interests in various strata organizations. Therefore, for a long time, the "Jiang faction" was in high tension with the "Xi faction" of the current leader Xi Jinping. state. Therefore, the location of Li Keqiang's incident is in Shanghai, and the hospital where he was rescued is also in Shanghai. This makes people reasonably suspect that the operation behind the incident may be related to the "Jiang faction".

Some media analysts pointed out that the Xi Jinping authorities may be worried that the public mourning caused by Li Keqiang's death will trigger an effect similar to the well-known "June 4th Student Movement" caused by the death of Hu Yaobang. In fact, we can also look at it from another angle and see who is worried about this so-called "Hu Yaobang effect."

As we all know, the reason why Hu Yaobang was praised by the Chinese people at that time was mainly due to his stance on reform and opening up at that time. Therefore, he was praised by scholars as "one of the few great democrats in Chinese history", "a young fighter and democratic leader", "Bloody Democracy" and other reputations.

But is Xi Jinping, the current leader of China, the one worried about Hu Yaobang’s effect? We might as well take a look at Xi Jinping’s attitude towards Hu Yaobang. On November 20, 2015, Xi Jinping delivered a speech at a symposium commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Hu Yaobang, praising Hu Yaobang for "working day and night, working hard, devoting himself to the task, and dying for it", "adhering to faith and devoting himself to his ideals", "seeking truth from facts, and having the courage to pioneer." , "has established immortal contributions to the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation, to the socialist revolution and construction, and to the exploration and creation of socialism with Chinese characteristics."

In other words, Xi Jinping also respects Hu Yaobang, but it is Jiang Zemin, the leader of the "Jiang faction", the most powerful group of opponents of Xi Jinping's anti-corruption group, who gained promotion opportunities by suppressing the June 4th Movement. Therefore, it seems that the people who are really afraid of Hu Yaobang's effect should be the "Jiang faction" rather than the "Xi faction".

So, if you look at it from these points of view, you may be able to see who is behind this incident. Because after the whole operation, the one who can really benefit from it is not the "Xi faction". In this case, the one who still has the ability, power and motivation to carry out such operations may be the "Jiang faction" who has been in a life-and-death struggle with the "Xi faction", because with Li Keqiang's death, the "Xi faction" has taken the blame , there is no reason to explain, and it will certainly be in the best interest of the "Jiang faction" to make the public and even the international community more disgusted with the "Xi faction".
