Speaker A
It’s still that the two party centers are vying for power, with Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao controlling the military and party administration. And then, they control a portion of the ideological power, which mainly lies with the people. Xi Jinping, on the other hand,
Speaker A
controls at least a little bit of the public security and legal apparatus. He also controls part of the ideology, which is why some rather chaotic situations arise. For example, regarding Huang Qifan's arrest, it was clearly Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao who
Speaker A
wanted him arrested, right? But looking at Chongqing's statement, it’s truly confusing. Chongqing is known as the "foggy capital" for a reason; you all find this quite interesting, don't you?
Speaker A
The CCP is always like this; no matter who is arrested, everyone expresses support afterward. Look back at when Ma Xiangdong was arrested; it was the same after he was taken. When Mu Suixin was arrested, Wen Shizhen was also there to
Speaker A
firmly support it. Now Wen Shizhen is gone too, right? Wen Shizhen was a good man. I think this is determined by the system; you don't even need to be forced to support it, you have to distance yourself. The issue is,
Speaker A
Huang’s statement after being investigated, specifically at 16:37:50 on October 14th, contained a very strange declaration. You see, he mentioned the standing committee meeting, but Huang has been out of office for a long time, right? People seem to have forgotten him, but he’s
Speaker A
just too ambitious. Because he had a group of people in the banking system who laundered money through various research associations and organizations. They have a lot of money, and because they have people working for them, they are always out running errands. And
Speaker A
shouting slogans. Sometimes it’s inevitable to offend people by speaking too much, but he would absolutely never offend anyone by speaking at a think tank. Moreover, although I haven't heard his full speech, I can tell you he is a sycophant. That’s why some
Speaker A
narratives are being pushed. Some people who pushed agendas in the past are still doing so now, which proves they are internet censors. The CCP pays them quite a bit of money every month; some are paid tens of thousands of yuan.
Speaker A
Anyway, you just post whatever you want online, exactly how the Communist Party tells you to post. Because now, what are people most worried about, what is the Communist Party most worried about? You tell the vast number of netizens, tell the whole world that
Speaker A
it was Hu and Wen, but he doesn't want you to know that; he wants you to know it was Xi Jinping who did it. Hey, look at Phoenix New Media today, they are steering the narrative. What are they
Speaker A
saying? Yuan Jiajun chaired the meeting, because he is in Chongqing, right? Do you want me to... look, the meeting pointed out that the Party Central Committee decided to conduct disciplinary and supervisory investigations into Huang Qi for suspected serious violations of
Speaker A
discipline and law. The question is, who is this Party Central Committee? Hu Jintao also represents the Party Central Committee, and Xi Jinping also represents the Party Central Committee.
Speaker A
Xi Jinping is currently superficial; he actually has no power. Hu Jintao appears not to represent it, but actually does. This is the eerie part, you see, it's interesting here. What is he talking about regarding the Communist Party here? Everything about
Speaker A
strictly governing the Party after the 20th Congress is all deceitful. Just think, if the Party were strictly governed, how could one person after another in Chongqing be like a revolving door? It proves that this soil of corruption still exists, right?
Speaker A
Ten years ago, I talked about the Yuan family, talked about this Huang issue, and it really came true. But look at what is said here, he actually says this: "On major political principle issues, one must remain especially clear-headed and firm in stance." The
Speaker A
meeting pointed out that we must use practical actions to firmly support the "Two Affirmations," see that? This is a big problem; it means most of the Chongqing team supports Xi Jinping and won't be replaced. What does that mean,
Speaker A
exactly? The one who arrested Huang is Xi Jinping, not Hu Jintao or Wen Jiabao. Wen doesn't exist. Xi Jinping holds all the power, doesn't he? I think this is misleading, intentional; this is a typical way of steering the narrative.
Speaker A
What does this explain? Yuan Jiajun is exactly Xi Jinping's man. Because he might be in cahoots with Ma Xingrui, but the Fifth Plenary Session hasn't been held yet, so if you want to take down Yuan Jiajun, it won't be that easy.
Speaker A
First, he really has the ability to work in Chongqing. I think he has done better than Sun Zhengcai, and much better than others. He truly has talent, looks quite suave, and has good eloquence, but he works with Ma Xingrui,
Speaker A
and I don't really trust him. He doesn't take a single cent? If he doesn't take, doesn't take, then how did he get promoted? So, this presents a problem—don't get your hopes up too high, because he is a Politburo member
Speaker A
and the top official there. If you want to remove him, it won't be easy; it definitely has to go through the procedure of the Fifth Plenary Session, and who knows, it might even be hard to say until the 21st Congress. It doesn't
Speaker A
matter, after the fifth comes the sixth. Regarding Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao, as long as their health is good, they can control the military power, the army, and the knowledge. I tell you, there is absolutely no need to worry
Speaker A
about this; I should be the one acting. How can you tell? We need evidence for what we say, right? This is a typical case of pretending to be stupid while being deliberately crazy, right? Even Zhang Shengming once came out to firmly
Speaker A
support the "two upholds," and Luo Wen has finally shown his true colors. You see, he doesn't talk about it anymore.
Speaker A
Why? When he first went to Hebei, everyone there was studying the Yuefeng style. Of course, when you go to serve as secretary, the subordinates are all from the opposing faction. If you start talking about "profound rituals" after arriving, they won't understand. Then
Speaker A
everyone will promote you, guard against you, and you'll wonder how to proceed. Take Zhou Zhuyu, for instance.
Speaker A
Even he had to honestly promote this and that when he went to Henan. Look at Huang Guanmin, who repeatedly ran to Shenzhen to see the "Spirit"—that's just kowtowing to him. You have to look at these details to make a judgment.
Speaker A
How do we spot these details? I'll give you an example so you'll understand. I didn't mention the first example last time because there's too much going on.
Speaker A
Personnel changes are like a revolving lantern, dazzling and overwhelming, pressing one thing down only for another to pop up. Who is this? Zhao Lian. Zhao Lian is currently the vice governor, the vice governor of Fujian Province. He has occupied Fujian. You
Speaker A
see, Zhao Long came up, and once he did, Zhou Li was transferred away, moved out of the mountains. Then, the Beijing-based Zhu Jun took over the Fujian base. Don't you think Xi Jinping would be uneasy? He can't make moves in
Speaker A
the military, and he can't manage the party and government side either; all that's left is the Guo clique, right?
Speaker A
The Fuzhou Municipal Party Secretary isn't in a rush. Why do I say that, and why do you say this Zhao Zheng is from the Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao faction?
Speaker A
Look at his personal profile. Born in the 70s, from Shaoguang, Shandong. It’s quite possible he was recommended by Yu Zhengsheng. From 1988 to 1992, he studied Veterinary Medicine at Shandong Agricultural University. He treats livestock diseases. From 1992 to
Speaker A
1994, he was the Youth League secretary of Feixue Village, Shandong. See, he started in the Communist Youth League.
Speaker A
Then, from 1994 to 1997, he was a graduate student in In
Speaker A
This guy has a specialty in infectious diseases. He can treat diseases, especially in animals. After 1997, he was transferred to the Beijing Animal and Plant Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. He worked in the airport passenger inspection section, because people traveling through the airport
Speaker A
often bring pets or other things, right ? Something about seeds or similar, I can't quite explain it, but it’s definitely an important field. In '98, he was an official at the Virus Laboratory of the Beijing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau for Animals and
Speaker A
Plants, and he stayed in this field in Beijing until 2020. You see, back in the Wen era, they also placed great importance on these things, right?
Speaker A
Including SARS management and such, right? See, I infer that this person is from the Hu faction, promoted by them.
Speaker A
Of course, he couldn't have been at odds with the top leadership while he was in Beijing, right? Look, from '02 to '06, that was during the Hu-Wen era.
Speaker A
He was in the State Council system, a researcher at the Import and Export Food Safety Bureau of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. This position is the most powerful because so many companies need to conduct
Speaker A
business involving food. For example, opening a bakery. Right? There are so many bakeries, and so many small food businesses in China—I can't explain it all—that everyone had to report to him for approval; in '06-'07, he became deputy director of the Veterinary
Speaker A
Bureau. Then he worked his way up to director, serving until 2015 as the deputy director of the Import and Export Food Safety Bureau at the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
Speaker A
So, before 2015, he was a professional in that field. The fact that he could rise proves that no one caught him in any corruption issues, right? At least, not yet. If he were corrupt, this position would be very prone to trouble
Speaker A
. People come to you to get things done , like opening a bakery, you give them the license, and they're off; if you open a large, well-known bakery.
Speaker A
Including those dairy products, right? And all sorts of other instant food production plants, there are so many.
Speaker A
You all have to find the Beijing Inspection Bureau to get a stamp. Get it done. If you don't pay up, they won't give you that stamp, right? It seems he is honest. Look, after 2015, he was transferred to serve a year as a
Speaker A
standing committee member in Beihai, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which I believe proves he isn't a Xi Jinping loyalist. You see, if he were from Xi's faction, he’d be given a good spot.
Speaker A
Since he was working at the General Administration in Beijing, perhaps he was principled and didn't take bribes, so Xi didn't like him. You see, they didn't arrange for him to go to a good place like Fujian, Guangdong, or
Speaker A
Shanghai. Instead, they sent him out to the borderlands, like Beihai in Guangxi , to serve as vice mayor. Then, after he returned, he became the deputy director of the General Administration of Quality Supervision. That was considered "attachment training." From
Speaker A
2016 to 2022, he held various posts at the General Administration, including deputy director of the Inspection and Supervision Department. He was the director of the Inspection Department at the General Administration of Customs, and once he got to Customs, he
Speaker A
was Yu Jianhua’s subordinate. He served as the Director of the General Office of the Communist Party Committee of the General Administration of Customs from 2022 to 2024. He was the Director of the National Office of Port Clearance. At that time, the Party
Speaker A
leadership sent Huang Qiang and Hu Lin to pressure Yu Jianhua to turn himself in, but he embarked on a path of no return and became like Du Qiu, right?
Speaker A
He became like Henglu Xing'er, or was it Henglu Er? It’s Du Qiu; it should be Henglu Er, right? This is quite interesting; it’s become a total mess . So, the Party changed in '24, right?
Speaker A
He was promoted to Deputy Director of the General Administration of Customs in '26. Being Deputy Director proves he’s not in Xi Jinping’s faction; he hates Xi, and Xi doesn't use him.
Speaker A
Right? Now, he has suddenly been parachuted into what position? He became the Vice Governor of Fujian Province, and I believe he will be Governor soon. What is he in charge of now? Commerce, veterans 'affairs, foreign affairs, Hong Kong and Macau
Speaker A
affairs, and market regulation—this is very important. What else is he in charge of? The Department of Veterans Affairs. You’d think he’s definitely guarding against people stirring up trouble here. From this, you can infer who is calling the shots
Speaker A
—Hu Wen is in charge, right? Now let’s take another look. Some say I’m biased, so let me give you more evidence. There were personnel appointments today; let me tell you what they are. Upon review, Sun Lichongtian has been appointed as an
Speaker A
external director of the China Grain Reserves Group, replacing the previous two, Jiang Yan and Shi Jun. They were transferred away. You see, this super-large state-owned enterprise managing grain reserves is very important, especially since the current economic situation is not good. Food
Speaker A
production is crucial. Why have they been talking about a bumper harvest these past few days, making people worry about food shortages? Isn't that just telling you not to make trouble?
Speaker A
Ah, don't! In this current situation, don't stir up the crowds; as long as people can eat, the banks will be fine.
Speaker A
There are 170 trillion yuan in deposits . Are these 170 trillion yuan in deposits real? It really is extreme polarization. I'm telling you, 80%of China's wealth is in the hands of the super-rich, the powerful officials, and the corporate elite. As for the common
Speaker A
people at the bottom, let me tell you, there are over 600 million people earning only 1,000 yuan a month. Just think, that’s very abnormal. Even with 170 trillion, you ask why the power group is targeting Huang Qifan?
Speaker A
In my view, the reason is simple: there’s no money left, so the Communist Party has started making arrests, right? When Hu Jintao’s faction came to power, who had the most money? The scammers had the most. Huang Qifan, you know, wouldn't he be
Speaker A
stirring up trouble? Anyone can leak a few tens of millions. I estimate he probably has over a billion hidden away . Just wait and see, he definitely has a lot of money, him and his son. Right?
Speaker A
What does this prove? It proves that this anti-corruption drive involves internal strife and is also starting because of economic contraction. It’s like a family; when the income is great , everyone gets along harmoniously.
Speaker A
Once the income drops, with losses and unemployment, they start fighting, right? They check who is being dishonest, who can't find a job, and who has saved the most money, then they take everyone's money for themselves.
Speaker A
It’s the same thing, isn't it? So this is very interesting. I want to tell you that these replacements...
Speaker A
let's study these two people together. I found the person who replaced him; look, first look at this person. Li Cong is up, this is a huge national flag. I’m telling you, don't joke around, this Zongliang, Zong Chuliang, was our mayor in his first term. That
Speaker A
person, that mayor is quite interesting . I’m trying to remember his name now . It’s him...he had a conflict with Bo Xilai during his first term, so he couldn't move up, and he didn't get along, so he bypassed him and went to
Speaker A
Beijing. The first general manager of China Zhongchu, it seems his surname is Cheng, right? Yes, it seems he was Mayor Cheng. That’s quite interesting . He reached a high rank, but he dared to stand up against the top brass.
Speaker A
That's interesting. Back then in Dalian , he dared to stand up to them. He is one of them, and there is another one named Ban Yaori. Ban Yaori is this public security officer. When Ban Yaori held a committee meeting, Bo Xie
Speaker A
unexpectedly arrived. He called him Bo Xie, not Bosu. Bo Si is here, Bo Si, if you don't have one. He worked in Beijing, and even being a captain wasn't enough. He rose up, did well, and offended this Ban Yaori, so he was
Speaker A
transferred to serve as the director of the committee in the Jingang New Area. Jingang, Jinma, that Jinma New Area is actually the Dalian Development Zone. I am very familiar with Old Ban. I went there often. That person is very
Speaker A
political. His last position was General Manager of the Dalian Human Insurance Company. He’s alright, anyway. I never sent him to prison because I couldn't pin any corruption issues on him. That man is actually quite steady. I’ve told you about him
Speaker A
. It is this COFCO, this company is particularly important. Now the people have changed. They’ve replaced them with one named Sun Lansheng and one named Li Chongtian. Let’s take a look at this Sun Lansheng now. Whatever we discuss, we should be fair and not lead
Speaker A
everyone to support one faction. I am an independent person. As long as you do well, we will talk about you. We don't take money from others. You’d be surprised if you knew me as well as many others do. I don’t even have a
Speaker A
car of my own; I still have to borrow one from others temporarily. Let me tell you, just think about the Vice President of the Development Bank; this Sun used to be at the Agricultural Development Bank. After Ding Xiaofang
Speaker A
was appointed as the Party Secretary of the Agricultural Development Bank on January 14th, the bank's leadership underwent adjustments. This is cited from Xinzang Finance, all from official media. I’m telling you, it’s all solid facts, not "leaks," not fake
Speaker A
information fed to you by others, and not nonsense bought with money. It’s not. I’m telling you, on January 24th , this Sun changed his track from the banking system. Where did he go? He came here, and from then on, he became
Speaker A
an external director at COFCO. Speaking of the person, right? Look at his personal profile. Who is he? It’s this person, see? His name is Sun Lansheng. Sun Lansheng has a postgraduate degree from the Party School and is a senior economist. He
Speaker A
started working in October 1988 and was appointed as the office director of the Agricultural Development Bank in 2000.
Speaker A
The Agricultural Bank, and the entire banking system, should be considered people of Wang Qishan. In 2008, he was appointed as a member of the Party Committee and Vice President of the Agricultural Development Bank (ADBC) in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Speaker A
By 2010, he moved to the ADBC Zhejiang Branch—since the banking system is nationwide, he was shifted around—and later became the President of the Ningbo Branch. Given his track record, he must be familiar with both Xi Jinping and Li Qiang, right? Then in
Speaker A
2012, he became the President of the ADBC Fujian Branch. Since he was promoted there, it suggests he was recommended by "the bun"[Xi], or at least has a close connection to him. In 2014, he became Director of the ADBC
Speaker A
Office, and in 2017, he was Chief Risk Officer and Vice President of the Agricultural Development Bank of China.
Speaker A
That’s the situation, and now this person has suddenly been transferred here. We can generally speculate that, so far, he is the highest-ranking official I’ve seen appointed from the "cell"[Xi's circle]. What does this signify? The two Central Committees are
Speaker A
fighting, and finally, they gave Xi Jinping a chance to appoint someone— his own subordinate—to take the lead, so to speak. That’s my speculation, but he promoted two people today. Look at Li Chongtian; Li Chongtian is this person. Alright, I will provide you
Speaker A
with the complete information, without siding with either party. You see, both were promoted at the same time, which is like one from each faction. As expected, he was born in early 1965, is a CPC member, and a senior economist.
Speaker A
Li Chongtian has served at China FAW Group—I’m very familiar with this, the FAW in Changchun; I’ve even interviewed Chu Yunfeng. He’s quite impressive, let me tell you. No smile, very stern face. Why is he impressive?
Speaker A
He is a member of the discipline inspection committee. He’s very sharp . He was the Head of the Audit Department and Director of the Office at China FAW. There is no doubt that this person is honest. Because FAW is
Speaker A
so massive, you need someone like that to keep an eye on everyone—from purchasing materials to car marketing and advertising—to prevent corruption . Right? Look, he was the Minister of Management at FAW Group Co., Ltd. This role is called "Minister of System
Speaker A
Management and Digitalization," and he was also an Assistant General Manager at FAW Co., Ltd. In June 2022, he became the Chief Accountant of FAW Group, and in 2023, he was appointed Chairman of the Finance Company. It seems FAW is just too big if it even
Speaker A
has its own finance company. That’s interesting; I’ve visited it, it’s really huge, I’m telling you. In May 2024, he was appointed Director and Deputy Party Secretary of FAW Group, was relieved of his post as Chief Accountant, and in 2025, he no longer
Speaker A
held those positions. This proves he was transferred where? He was transferred to COFCO. So, whose person is he? Huang Qiang. The Hu and Lin faction, right? That's the Communist Youth League faction. You see, it's like two Party Centers fighting each
Speaker A
other. They fight back and forth, and most of the good positions went to the Hu and Wen camp. But Xi Jinping was very angry; he felt, "Aren't you bullying us?" You have to give us some ground. They finally yielded one spot,
Speaker A
which is what I just told you about today; this Sun might have been recommended by Li Qiang, and this Li Chongtian is from their Youth League faction. Maybe this Li Chongtian is actually someone Huang Qiang and Hu Lin
Speaker A
pushed for. Look at Jilin; wasn't Jilin the first to invite Hu to give a keynote speech in Northeast Asia? That was quite a big deal. Back then Hu Chunhua wasn't writing articles like this, because now Hu doesn't come out
Speaker A
at all, as they are all studying the succession issue ten days from now. So I think it’s like this, why do I say it that way? I’ll lay it out for you.
Speaker A
I'll move it over there, because I have too many computers, and keeping them here looks terrible. I am a lazy person , I don't have a single word written down. Let me tell you, once I finish speaking, I'm resting. I see no change
Speaker A
in the current evidence in China, just look at this article from today, released by Xinhua News Agency, read it carefully. Don't just look at Xinhua's headline about Xi Jinping guiding the direction, or holding some health conference, this meeting or that
Speaker A
meeting. Li Qiang is holding some trade conference, giving a speech at the Canton Fair. The one who truly holds power is the military. Look at what this article says; it tells you about the TV documentary "The Great Expedition," a film commemorating the
Speaker A
Long March, full of red ideology. Whether it's Hu Jintao, Zeng Qinghong, or Xi Jinping, they are essentially the same. It's just about factions, right?
Speaker A
It's a struggle over the line—which path to take. How could they be any different, right? October 14, '26, 22:54, latest news, approved by the Central Military Commission. Look at this news, it was issued by the Central Military Commission. The CPC Central
Speaker A
Military Commission's Political Work Department. Who is leading it now? Ordinary people say it is Liu Yuan. I believe it is. Li Zuocheng manages the fighting, while Liu manages the ideology—the propaganda stuff—it's just not officially announced. Look at how he coordinates with the Central
Speaker A
Party History and Literature Research Institute. This is impressive; this is where the real power lies. The National Radio and Television Administration and the Central Propaganda Department produced the TV documentary "The Great Expedition." This film will start airing tomorrow, October 15, on CCTV's
Speaker A
comprehensive channel during the 8 PM golden hour. Do you see that? This tells you the outcome of their infighting and who is really in charge.
Speaker A
One episode per day, aired on the National Defense and Military channel, and simultaneously pushed on major central news portals, key websites, and the "Xuexi Qiangguo" platform. It’s so urgent. It introduces itself with themes like "Seeking the Way,""Setting Direction,""Iron Torrent,""Faith,""
Speaker A
Foundation," and "Wind and Rain," with each episode lasting 50 minutes. My goodness, that's so long! That just shows that the censorship process was already completed during filming, and it definitely reflects the Party that holds the reins now. So who is in
Speaker A
charge? Still him. How can you tell? Look at what it says here. Reviewing and presenting the great significance of the Red Army's Long March led by the CCP, which shook the world—it’s all a bunch of lies. But look at this
Speaker A
sentence: "Demonstrating that the People's Army obeys the Party's command ." See that? "Obeys the Party's command ," restoring the Party's absolute leadership. If you don't believe it, look at the second paragraph; the last section already tells you. Look at what
Speaker A
the original military faction says, and what Chongqing says. Look at this. To commemorate the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March, this documentary is launched to guide and inspire the whole Party, the whole army, and all the people to unite even
Speaker A
more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. Xi Jinping—everything is about this "core," deeply understanding it, see? The decisive significance of the "Two Establishments," enhancing the "Four Consciousnesses," strengthening the "Four Matters of Confidence," and
Speaker A
achieving the "Two Upholds." You see, this is where it clashes with Chongqing . That one is about loyalty, "loyally supporting the two establishments," meaning no changing of the leader. This one is thinking about a change because he is too foolish; if they don't
Speaker A
replace the official Party, they are planning to perish. Get the meaning? Internal affairs, foreign policy, and the military are all starting to shift now. Look at this wave of engagement with the U.S.;it has shifted. Look at today—or yesterday—that heroic girl
Speaker A
from Inner Mongolia who was so incredible, they arranged an event for her to meet that American who sponsored her with $ 5,000 back then. The two hugged tightly, and the media reported it extensively; it's very interesting.
Speaker A
See the implication? There are even more articles about China-U.S. friendship. You can tell now that the current new leadership core of the CCP —that is, the Wang Huning faction— is starting to pivot, which means being pro-U.S. and cutting ties with Russia.
Speaker A
It means the diplomatic direction has already changed. It's just that the U.S. hasn't, or rather isn't, confirmed yet. The U.S. said they'd pause the trade war and tariff war for two months , so I'll wait and see if Hu actually
Speaker A
comes up or not. Is it clear or not? It should be in this kind of situation.
Speaker A
You can already tell there’s been an obvious shift; otherwise, we wouldn't be seeing this kind of reporting.
Speaker A
Similarly, reports on Iran, the Russia-Ukraine war, the U.S. and Israel striking Iran, the Houthis, the situation in Yemen, as well as the issues regarding Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, and North Korea. A whole series of these things have started to
Speaker A
change, though the scale of the change is still small. Because he hasn't come up yet, right? So, this 2412 narrative tells you that the current grip on power is still in the hands of Hu and Wen Jiabao. The purpose of this TV
Speaker A
special is to absorb...it’s all that propaganda over these many years, right ? On the surface, it’s still about Xi Jinping, but in reality, his time has passed. This explains why so many of the officials coming up now are all
Speaker A
from the "Xi faction," or are they just big bosses of state-owned enterprises, right? And you can't even say they are 100%loyal to Xi, because we don't really know how things are going on in their department, right? I’m just
Speaker A
giving you my speculation, so based on the information mentioned above, this is all we can see today. However, I saw an article today, which I just mentioned. If you click on it, Xinhua News Agency’s second headline is back
Speaker A
to talking about Xi Jinping "pointing the way." This is a bit unusual, because in the last ten years, Xi has pointed out hundreds of directions, and all of them failed, so they stopped talking about it later. Now they're
Speaker A
starting again. What is he talking about? He’s talking about health. General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech points the way for doing a good job in health work for the new era and new journey. But, ordinary people are saying that by holding this
Speaker A
health conference, he wants to lock down again, to cut off the flow of people and the exchange of information.
Speaker A
Because I heard before that the reason for the three-day lockdown in Shanghai being so strict was to prevent retired cadres from moving around. I don't know if that's true or not, right? But now you can see that if he tries to lock
Speaker A
down the city again, no one will listen to him. However, these days, there really has been talk of viruses, like the plague, and whether this includes young people dying one by one? The Vision Times website has already reported on this. Is it possible that
Speaker A
this detailed report is once again stirring up trouble through Wang Xiao? There is such a possibility. It’s hard for us to judge; I’m just summarizing this news from independent media. It seems a bit unusual today; he has started "pointing the way" again.
Speaker A
You see, he is lost himself, so you can imagine—plus, the great ship China, the Titanic, has already changed course and turned around. The most significant sign of this turning, I believe, is the China-US relationship. As for the subsequent reports and false propaganda
Speaker A
, I have already explained them to you all. There is also a new piece of news, which is that Wang went—this Wang has an activity, not a local one, not a domestic one. This indeed indicates that he is currently highly valued,
Speaker A
with both factions retaining his position and continuing his tenure. The President of Azerbaijan is called Aliyev; he was in Baku on the 14th, which proves that Wang Yi went to Baku, doesn't it? You see, other officials currently cannot leave the country,
Speaker A
especially He Rong. So, Wang Yi met with the President of Azerbaijan in Baku. Of course, Xi Jinping was also mentioned here, but they didn't use the term "pointing the way." So, these are some new developments as of today.
Speaker A
I’ll be back in the next session to share more reports and commentary with you all. Thank you, goodbye.
