Xi Jinping visited the Xiangjiang Battle Memorial Park in Guangxi on April 25 and spoke about the experience of the Red Army of the Communist Party of China when it was besieged by the national army and fled to Yan’an. Coincidentally, on this day more than 300 years ago, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen killed himself at the coal mountain, bringing down the Ming Dynasty.
Xinhua, the official media of the Communist Party of China, reported that Xi Jinping visited Quanzhou County in Guilin, Guangxi, on the 25th, and visited the Xiangjiang Battle Memorial of the Long March of the Red Army. Xi said the Battle of Xiangjiang River was a key battle in the Red Army’s Long March and an important historical event that decided the survival of the Chinese Communist Party.
In his speech, Xi referred to the so-called national rejuvenation, saying, “If the difficulties are too great, think of the Long March of the Red Army and the bloody battle of Xiangjiang River”.
According to historical records, the Battle of Xiangjiang River took place from late November to early December 1934, when the communist army, besieged by the Nationalist government, fled for their lives to western China, which the Chinese Communist Party called the “Long March”.
The Red Army managed to escape, but lost half of its strength, from 100,000 to only 40,000.
Current affairs commentator Zhong Yuan wrote that Xi Jinping should have been feeling it, comparing the current predicament with the bloody battle of Xiangjiang River, which shows how much pressure Xi has in mind.
The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen, hanged himself on a crooked-necked tree on Coal Hill, and the Ming Dynasty, which had been in existence for 277 years, was officially extinguished.

According to some commentators, Xi Jinping’s reference to the bloody battle of Xiangjiang River on this day, which decided the survival of the CCP, seems to foreshadow the fate of the CCP’s demise. At present, the Chinese Communist regime is in an unprecedented crisis, besieged by the United States and its Western allies, with no solution to its internal and external difficulties and no way out.
In addition, the Red Army was eventually forced to replace the CCP leadership after its disastrous defeat. Now Xi Jinping’s series of misjudgments of the international situation and his implementation of a left-turn line have plunged the CCP regime into a crisis, and opposition to Xi within the CCP is growing.
Zhong Yuan speculates that there should be a lot of private debates within the CCP as well, and could a change of leadership be brewing as well? Did Xi Jinping’s remarks during his visit reveal similar fears?
At the moment, Xi’s main concern should be the 20th Communist Party Congress and whether he can successfully enter his third term. This year is another year of change of local government officials, and the personnel carding stations of the various factions within the party have already begun. The CCP’s infighting will never stop, and the more the regime continues to weaken, the more intense the infighting will become.
According to Zhong Yuan, Xi Jinping has almost no choice but to fight for tenure in order to keep his position, or rather to save his life. Xi is unable to soften his position internally or externally, and can only drive the broken car of the CCP into the abyss.
