Mohammed bin Nayef vs Zhang Chunqiao

As Minister of Interior, Mohammed bin Nayef led Saudi Arabia's counter-terrorism efforts, overseeing the dismantling of al-Qaeda cells and the rehabilitation of extremists. He survived an assassination attempt by a suicide bomber in 2009.

Mohammed bin Nayef was appointed Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia by King Salman, becoming the first grandson of King Abdulaziz to hold the position. He was also Minister of Interior, known for his role in counter-terrorism.

King Salman removed Mohammed bin Nayef from the position of Crown Prince and replaced him with Mohammed bin Salman. This was part of a major reshuffle that consolidated power in the hands of the younger prince.

Zhang Chunqiao joined the CCP in 1938 during the Second Sino-Japanese War. He became a propaganda official in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region, building his political base.

Zhang Chunqiao became a leading figure in the Cultural Revolution, serving as head of the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee. He orchestrated the seizure of power from local party officials and promoted radical Maoist policies.

Zhang Chunqiao was arrested on October 6, 1976, along with other Gang of Four members, in a coup led by Hua Guofeng and the military. This ended the Cultural Revolution and led to his trial and imprisonment.

Zhang Chunqiao was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve in 1981 for his role in the Cultural Revolution. The sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment. He was released on medical parole in 1997 and died in 2005.
