Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.64,0:04:09.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if you were placing bets on who Xi would \Npurge,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.24,0:04:11.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you’d think Zhang Youxia ,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.04,0:04:18.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So why was it He Weidong?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.39,0:04:23.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, since this is the opaque world of inner Communist Party politics
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.58,0:04:26.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,, there are \Nseveral explanations floating around.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.56,0:04:30.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,According to Miles Yu, who’s the director \Nof the China Center at the Hudson Institute,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.52,0:04:38.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this \Ncreated a lot of overlap.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.21,0:04:46.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They have overlapping core competencies
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.56,0:04:51.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“that's why you got enormous internal struggle \Nand fight against each other for favor.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.75,0:04:57.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it'sbasically a turf war and that's why Xi \NJinping had to sacrifice one of them.”
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.12,0:05:02.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course that doesn’t really explain why it was \NHe Weidong that got purged and not Zhang Youxia.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.80,0:05:05.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here’s another explanation.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.20,0:05:08.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It has to do with this guy—Miao Hua.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.92,0:05:41.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“In the process of advancing \NXi’s political objectives,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.44,0:05:45.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Miao could have inadvertently \Ncultivated his own power base,
