    Background: Zhang Youxia was/is a princeling, member of the CCP Politbureau and first ranked CMC vice chairman (ie head of the military). Someone like him being purged shows that power in China is uniquely concentrated in Xi Jinping much more so then it was in the hands of a single person at any point in the last 50 years or so.

    A political associate (unless a subject matter expert commenting on their area of expertise) that has the (misplaced?) confidence to make statements may fall into the habit of making wide ranging comments across a variety of issues and so the specific reason for a slap down may not be that easy to determine.
