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.

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?
Though the CCP has prepared for the worst, a war in the Taiwan Strait as a desperate last stand, how will it respond to Trump's efforts in Europe, Russia, Iran?
Much like a frog slowly boiling, China's current system is nearing its breaking point. Will Xi's rule and the Communist Party's vast machinery survive 2025?
A petition demanding Xi Jinping's resignation was sent to a US-based economist. The Chinese army published articles opposing his one-man rule. What's happening?
Since taking on leadership roles in the party, government, and military, Comrade Xi Jinping has exhibited numerous serious problems and grave shortcomings, which have caused significant harm to the country, its people, and the entire party:
The Chinese president's assertion of "100 years of unprecedented changes" may be materializing. This time, however, the upheaval seems to be centered around Xi Jinping himself.
During June 17-19, Xi Jinping was in Shaanxi Province to convene the political work conference of the CCP's Military Commission. He traveled on his private, special train, and his train number is : CR400AF-2151.
