The PLA “Blood Feud” Behind Xi’s 133 Days in Beijing

Why did Xi Jinping stay in Beijing for 133 days without leaving?This video examines growing questions around his relationship with the PLA, the unusual break from long-standing CCP travel patterns, and the deeper tensions inside China’s military system. At the center of it all is a little-known story tied to the 2023 floods in Hebei—and a powerful unit, the 82nd Group Army, that reportedly suffered devastating losses. Some now describe it as a “blood feud” that hasn’t been resolved. Is this why Xi chose to stay close to Beijing—and why his first trip was to tightly controlled Xiong'an New Area? This is not just about one trip.It’s about control, trust, and what may be happening inside the PLA.
