A top Chinese official has claimed several high-ranking members of the Communist Party had plotted to seize power from President Xi Jinping.
These party members have since been arrested or jailed in a wide-reaching corruption crackdown launched by Mr Xi.
Some observers have said the crackdown was used to conduct a political purge of Mr Xi's opponents.
The latest claim of a power struggle appears to contradict the Communist Party's unified image.
