Now, returning to Zhu Rongji and Falun Gong: imagine if he and the other Standing Committee members had resisted Jiang Zemin’s pressure at the time and stopped the CCP from persecuting Falun Gong. What would China look like today?
Some people also say that the newly issued entry-exit management regulations can be said to be a new climax of closing the country.
What needs to be discussed is: Who is spreading this kind of false news? Why is it being released at this particular time? Why has this claim received such widespread attention and dissemination?
Among all these rumors circulating in political circles, which one do you believe?
In a stunning development at the very heart of China’s military power, Xi Jinping has internally designated former CMC Vice Chairman General Zhang Youxia as guilty of high treason, “投敌叛国罪”, for allegedly colluding with the United States and leaking core military secrets that have rendered a Chinese invasion of Taiwan impossible.
“Xi Jinping has finally selected his successor — it is his cousin, the new Shenzhen Municipal Party Secretary Jin Lei!”
The Chinese Communist Party’s decision to close the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall for more than five months may be more than a routine renovation. Some observers believe the move could serve as an early test of “de-Maoization” under Xi Jinping, potentially signaling an attempt to gradually reduce Mao Zedong’s symbolic role while consolidating Xi’s own ideological authority.
In China, some view the death of the supreme leader of Iran as one of the most consequential developments capable of influencing CCP stability in two decades.
Two days ago, Canadian writer Sheng Xue posted an article (which was later deleted, but I reposted it and restored it here) claiming that Qi Qiaoqiao, the sister of Xi Jinping, monopolizes China’s oil imports from Venezuela and Iran, earning a net profit of 400 billion yuan ($57.59 billion)per year.
Xi Jinping's sister Qi Qiaoqiao monopolizes China's oil business, buying cheap oil from Venezuela and Iran at $20 per barrel, then selling to Sinopec at $40 to $60, earning $57.54 billion annually.
I have received an explosive revelation from an official within the CCP system: Currently, within the CCP—including the military—there are many who are dissatisfied with Zhang Youxia’s arrest. Their views include:
As the world watches to see whether the dragon will devour itself, it must decide whom to support, what kind of China would be better for the world, and how such a future might be brought about.
The gravity of Xi Jinping’s move to detain Zhang Youxia has surpassed any previous instance of internal struggle in the CCP’s history and may well become a major historical event triggering a systemic avalanche within the Party. It is therefore crucial to analyze the possible trajectories of this development.
On November 24, 2025, a six-hour video recording of a secret military court trial, long sealed and still classified at the highest level of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), was suddenly uploaded to the internet.
This English transcript with speakers is compiled based on the Chinese verbatim court record of the trial of General Xu Qinxian for “the crime of disobeying a martial law order.” The video indicates that the trial took place on March 17, 1990.
At first glance, this outcome should have settled the question of whether Xi has lost power. Yet, strikingly, it has not. Those who believe that Xi remains firmly in control and those who believe his authority has eroded are still reading the same facts in opposite ways.
Xi Jinping's health, a mysterious Chinese woman who fled Australia, and abundant money and power fuel rumors and theories where it's hard to sift out the truth.
“The problem lies in the economy, but the root is in politics.” If a solution must be proposed, it would likely be what the vast majority of Chinese people, market entities, and even most within the system expect…
Although the political environment has changed dramatically since Mao’s time, the “Three Magic Weapons” remain central to how the CCP understands power, legitimacy, and survival. In the 21st century, these tools have been modernized — but not abandoned.
"This morning, it felt like the sky had fallen!" This is how many Chinese small and medium-sized business owners lamented after US President Donald Trump announced the "Liberation Day" tariffs. What do Trump's latest tariff policies truly mean for China's economy and the Chinese Communist regime?
