On 25 October 2022, the Political Bureau of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee held a meeting. Uphold and strengthen unified leadership, the meeting said, and emphasized struggle. Analysts believe that after the 20th National Congress of the CCP, Xi's meeting of the Politburo will undoubtedly be targeted, emphasizing that struggle is synonymous with internal cleansing.

On the 25th, the Political Bureau of the 20th CPC Central Committee held a meeting, chaired by Xi Jinping. The meeting reviewed the "Several Provisions of the Political Bureau of the CCP Central Committee on Strengthening and Maintaining the Centralized and Unified Leadership of the CCP Central Committee" and the "Detailed Implementation Rules for the Political Bureau of the CCP Central Committee to Implement the Eight Provisions of the Central Committee".

The meeting stated that learning and publicizing the "spirits of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China" is the "primary political task", deeply comprehending the "decisive significance" of the "two establishments", "upholding and strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee", and taking "Xi's core" in action. "The centre maintains a high degree of consistency, and says that we must "dare to fight, be good at fighting," and so on.

Current affairs commentator Yue Shan told NTDTV on the 26th that after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CCP's personnel changed dramatically. Hu Jintao's departure and Hu Chunhua's kick from the Politburo became big news. The Politburo meeting held immediately after the meeting is undoubtedly targeted, emphasizing that struggle is synonymous with internal cleansing, and the two documents reviewed are directly used as tools for infighting, but the first one is more lethal, and the second is just a supporting tool use.

Yue Shan believes that, judging from the content of the meeting reported by the official media, and mentioning that the Political Bureau of the Central Committee should take the lead and strictly abide by the requirements of centralized and unified leadership, it means that although the Politburo is all people brought up by Xi himself, including the Xi family army, Xi still needs to take the lead. Beware. The meeting also directly put forward a request to maintain a high degree of consistency with Xi Jinping's Central Committee. The most obvious thing is that CCP members must be loyal to Xi Jinping and not have two hearts.

On 22 October, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China concluded in Beijing. The meeting passed amendments to the CCP constitution. Xi has written "promoting the spirit of struggle and "strengthening the ability to fight" into the new party constitution. This means that under Xi's leadership, the CCP will become more reckless in exporting its ideology and violating international norms.

A well-known media person who did not want to be named told Radio Free Asia, "The whole Congress emphasized the fighting spirit emphasized in that political report, and fully restored Mao Zedong's class struggle as the key link."

The media person: "Anti-corruption is all about eradicating political dissidents. The preparation for this decade is to return to lifelong tenure. Therefore, whether it is politics, military, or diplomacy, including culture and education, it is a big setback. Struggle is the key link."

Wen Zhi, an independent scholar, said that the basic spirit of the new party constitution of the CCP has determined that the “philosophy of struggle” will replace the major policies centered on economic construction in the past few decades.

On 23 October, the new Politburo Standing Committee members of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China are Xi Jinping, Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang and Li Xi. Judging from the announced list of members of the Politburo Standing Committee and the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, most of them are soldiers and horses of the Xi family, while the Jiang faction and the Tuan faction are almost "out".

Reports suggest that Xi and his allies are in full control and that Xi will move CCP China into a more centralized society.

Current affairs commentator Zhou Xiaohui wrote in The Epoch Times that after Xi Jinping was re-elected, the internal and external difficulties he faced will only continue to increase. It will also arouse the disgust of more people who have been suppressed for too long, and even take extreme actions.

Zhou Xiaohui believes that the so-called "victory" of the Xi faction at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China actually lurks many crises, and it is likely to accelerate the demise of the CCP.

The intelligence chief enters the Politburo: Xi Jinping's restlessness 

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has ended, and many personnel positions have exceeded expectations. Among them, the Minister of National Security of the Chinese Communist Party, Chen Wenqing, has entered the Politburo, breaking the practice that the CCP intelligence chief has never been involved in the past decades. Some analysts believe that Xi Jinping's move underscores his growing concern about security at home and abroad.

According to the personnel layout of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Chen Wenqing, Minister of State Security of the Communist Party of China, served as a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee; on the other hand, Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong was promoted to Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee although he did not enter the Political Bureau.

The 62-year-old Chen Wenqing served as the director of the Sichuan Provincial Department of State Security, the procurator-general of the provincial procuratorate, and the secretary of the Fujian Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The 65-year-old Wang Xiaohong used to be the director of the Henan Provincial Public Security Bureau, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Chief, and then the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Public Security and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Public Security.

Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" (SCMP) reported on the 24th that in the past few decades, the CCP's intelligence chief has never entered the Politburo, and Chen Wenqing is the first person to be promoted to this decision-making mechanism. The first seven secretaries of the Central Secretariat, including Chen Wenqing, are expected to take over as secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.

The Political and Legal Committee is the CCP's highest security mechanism, covering the public security, courts, procuratorial, national security, judicial and other systems, and is known as the CCP's "knife handle" for maintaining stability. The Secretariat of the Central Committee is the office of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and its Standing Committee, which is responsible for daily party affairs.

Public Security Minister Wang Xiaohong is also one of the new members of the Central Secretariat, and the South China Morning Post reported that Xi's promotion of Chen Wenqing and Wang Xiaohong underscored the authorities' concerns over national security issues.

The report quoted Goh Muk Luan, an associate professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, as saying that the promotion of the two officials in charge of intelligence and security shows that Xi Jinping's administration attaches great importance to maintaining stability and preventing regime subversion.

John P. Burns, a professor emeritus at the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Hong Kong, said the promotion of Chen Wenqing and Wang Xiaohong appears to be disturbing both domestically and internationally.

He said that looking around the geopolitical situation, the CCP’s wrestling with Europe and the United States has intensified, reflecting the need to strengthen security. Domestically, the CCP believes that its insecurity is related to the problems of other provinces and cities such as Xinjiang and Tibet, so it is not difficult to imagine that Xi Jinping Intended to strengthen the CCP's ability to "maintain stability".

In Xi Jinping's report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on 16 October 2022, the word "security" appeared 91 times, and there was a special chapter on national security (regime security), linking everything to the security of the CCP regime, which mentioned The "regime security", "system security" and "ideological security" mentioned above are all content that was not included in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China five years ago.

In addition to the frequent emphasis on "safety", the word "struggle" appeared 22 times in the report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, proposing that "you must be brave and good at fighting".

Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said in the Financial Times that the most troubling part of the 20th Congress report is the CCP's analysis of the rapidly evolving external strategic environment.

Rudd said Xi described a "severe and complex international situation" in which the party must "prepare for dangers in peacetime" but also "prepare for storms", calling on the party to continue to uphold the "spirit of struggle".

Costa Cruises cancels Asia routes as CCP continue dynamic clearing practices

Reporter : Li Zhaoxi / Editor: Lin Qing / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/10/25/a103559460.html

With the conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the reshuffle of the CCP leadership, and the waning of hopes for the CCP to ease covid restrictions, cruise giant Carnival Corp. Costa Cruises, which targets the emerging China market, is canceling all Asian sailings.

Costa Cruises, headquartered in Genoa, Italy, said in a statement that it will cancel international cruise services in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and South Korea as port calls in these places have not yet resumed. Businesses in the region are being restructured.

"The resumption of international tourism across the (Asia) region has continued to drag on after the pandemic-induced suspension, and we do not know when and how international cruises will restart in the region," the statement said. Continuing, we had to make this decision."

Since the outbreak, China has allowed mainland residents to conduct limited cruise operations within the country, mostly on inland rivers and some local coastlines. A domestic operator was only recently allowed to restart cruise operations to the disputed Paracel Islands.

In February, Costa Cruises had planned to resume cruising in Asia this year but it failed to materialize. The company said it was notifying Asian employees and local stakeholders affected by the restructuring and cancellation of cruises in Asia.

While Costa did not specifically mention China, the company has big plans to tap the Chinese consumer market.

Costa became the first cruise brand to enter China in 2006, and built two large cruise ships specifically for the Chinese market, but due to the strict "clearing" policy adopted by the CCP leaders, in 2021, Costa Florence will be launched. Plans for an Asian debut fell through and the ship was redeployed to Europe.

At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, CCP leader Xi Jinping did not say he wanted to change his approach to the outbreak, saying lockdowns, mandatory quarantines and restrictions on entering and leaving China were "very well in place".

Global investors are skeptical about the economic policies of Xi Jinping's third term. Chinese travel and technology stocks fell sharply on Monday (24 October), even as Bloomberg reported last week that Chinese officials were considering easing mandatory quarantine policies for travelers entering China.

The sell-off started in Asia on the morning of the 24th, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng Technology Index down 9.7%, its second-biggest one-day drop. The downtrend has since spread to U.S. stocks, with shares of several of the best-known Chinese tech groups listed on Wall Street plummeting. The Nasdaq Golden Dragon China index fell 14.4%.

Analysts said the sell-off was exacerbated by Beijing's delayed release of economic data during the party congress, which showed China's economy expanded 3.9 percent year-on-year in the third quarter, below the government's annual target of 5.5 percent. They also note that Xi Jinping has overhauled his leadership, handing power to loyalists who care more about Sino-US geopolitical competition than economic reform.

“While Chinese politics has long been opaque, this sharp consolidation of power is increasing investor unease,” said Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management. International investors are demanding higher risk premiums, and equity valuations, which are already close to a 10-year trough, will likely come under more pressure.”

Zhao Tianlin: The CCP has caused the greatest harm in thousands of years of Chinese history

Legislator Zhao Tianlin said that the Communist Party of China is a political party that uses force to seize Chinese power. Although it tries to pretend to be a legitimate government like the People's Republic of China, it is actually a regime that has never been created by the Chinese people based on democratic principles. After many purges and even the Cultural Revolution, it caused catastrophe in China.

He said, "The current 'Three Quits' movement can be understood as the fact that after the Chinese people became rich and their knowledge level improved, they began to reflect on why such a political party and regime, which has ruined life and made civilization regress, can lead them?"

He emphasized that if there are more awakened people in mainland China, they can think together, "Can the Chinese Communist Party represent China? What the Chinese Communist Party has done can really make China move towards a better future. ?"

Zhao Tianlin said that the Communist Party of China was actually a relatively short-lived political party and regime in Chinese history, and what they did was actually the history that caused the greatest harm to China in the thousands of years of Chinese history.

He said that in the past, it was always believed that the CCP was equal to China, so that atheism, Marxism, and communism, which had been eliminated by the world, became the main tone and mainstream of Chinese society, but these propositions, from historical experience, are a failure, A system that ruins life will only make society regress. Today, it has become China, the most populous country in the world, with a social system and political power.

He emphasized that if the Chinese people can wake up and realize that the CCP is not equal to China, and that Chinese people are also entitled to enjoy democracy and freedom, it is not impossible. As long as the Chinese people wake up, everything can change.

Zhao Tianlin emphasized that the "Three Quits" movement is an important social movement in Chinese society. Everyone chooses to refuse to be with such a rogue party from the bottom of their hearts. In fact, the essence of the "Three Quits" movement is the awakening of mankind's pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. The Chinese people stand up and choose their own living system and political system. He sincerely hopes that China can be different.

Wang Dingyu: The movement to quit the CCP is bound to succeed if it is a pioneer

Legislator Wang Dingyu said that as the power of the Communist Party becomes more concentrated, the movement to withdraw from the Communist Party of China is more in full swing.

He said, "Then we expect the Chinese people to see through the Communist Party of China's regime of terror, and the power to change lies within themselves. Then in Taiwan, we should protect our own freedom, democracy and human rights. Then we are also happy to see the Chinese people resist violence in action."

He said that the essence of the Chinese Communist Party is aggressive and anti-human. When the international community understands the essence of the Communist Party more clearly, the global containment will be stronger. From the current international development, we can see such a trend. And this movement to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party can be said to be a prophet and a forerunner, and it will inevitably succeed in the end.

Wang Dingyu said that, unlike a democratic country, leaving a certain political party or joining a certain political party is a free choice, and quitting the movement of the Chinese Communist Party is an understanding and reflection on the essence of the Chinese Communist Party, because the Chinese Communist Party is in conflict with human nature and conscience. When a person still has humanity and conscience, he will inevitably break away from such an evil organization.

Legislator Gao Jiayu said that the global anti-communist wave is wave after wave, and everyone has clearly recognized the evil nature of the CCP, especially the recent rebellious behavior of the CCP.

Gao Jiayu said that with the launch of street and social connections in various places, and the truth of the Communist Party was revealed on the Internet, finally "three withdrawals" It will become a big wave, "I think the world's common ideas and ideas are the same, that is, anti-Communist, not anti-China."

"The conscience awakening movement of quitting the CCP has been carried out for many years, and it is gradually accumulating energy. Once it converges to a climax, it may bring down the Communist Party overnight." She pointed out that what everyone is opposed to is the totalitarian and violent rule of the Communist Party, which not only controls China, but also the people's ideology and freedom that also make them fall into dire straits. When the people's patience reaches the limit, it is time to overthrow the tyranny of the CCP.

"The CCP is not a democratic political party as generally recognized." Legislator Cai Shixing said that many people joined the CCP for profit or because of nepotism. But when these people go overseas, they will find that democracy and freedom are what many Chinese people yearn for. Therefore, many people with a background in the Chinese Communist Party usually announce their withdrawal from the CCP when they go overseas. True democracy and freedom abroad, "compared to Taiwan, democracy and freedom are also Taiwan's greatest honor."

Cai adapts to say that this is actually to tell the world, including Taiwan, that "democracy and freedom are the most important line of defense in defending a country", and if one relies on force and ideology, in fact, a regime cannot be sustained for a long time.

"'Three Quits" is a good way to represent the public opinion of the 1.4 billion Chinese people."

Song Guocheng: "Three Quits" can be described as a weapon to disintegrate the CCP

Song Guocheng, a senior researcher at the Center for International Relations Studies at National Chengchi University, said that the "Three Quits" campaign is very important. It is a self-awakening campaign to help Chinese people "recognize the essence of the CCP regime" and is very meaningful.

Song Guocheng pointed out that in history, the movement to quit the CCP contributed to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and brought about the liberalization of Central and Eastern Europe. In this century, quitting the CCP symbolizes the pursuit of personal liberation and political freedom, helping the nation to wake up from the dark history of the CCP and move towards the light. It is an important step for the Chinese people to leave the Communist Party, so that individuals can obtain happiness and freedom.

"The Three Quits' movement is what the CCP is most afraid of," Song Guocheng explained. The movement helps the Communists understand that the regime is harmful to the Chinese themselves, and that the CCP is the culprit that really hurts the Chinese nation." The 80 million party members are actually oppressed by the dictatorship, not all Chinese who join the party have no conscience, but they have been brainwashed by the CCP ideology since childhood and cannot wake up themselves.”

Therefore, Song believes that quitting the CCP can help these Chinese who strayed into the Communist Party to be reborn. After quitting the CCP, their minds change, and from then on, they realize that “the party they originally attached to is a political party ruled by lies and violence.” Therefore the "Three Quits" movement is a weapon to disintegrate the CCP internally.

Ming Juzheng: We should face up to the "Three Quits" or the beginning of a new era

Ming Juzheng, an honorary professor at the Department of Political Science at National Taiwan University, said that the Communist Party is a well-organized and rigorous party, and we firmly oppose its philosophy. But in terms of action and efficiency, we must not underestimate it. The communist movement was at its peak in the world and ruled nearly one-half to one-third of the world's population. It swept the world within a few decades, so it operated in politics God has its power, we must see this.

Professor Ming pointed out that between 1989 and 1991, 10 communist regimes disintegrated within three years, which almost declared the end of an era. Although the communist regime collapsed, the CCP regime still survived tenaciously. However, we have also seen that the foundation for the survival of the CCP regime has gradually begun to corrode, and the point of corrosion is that “400 million Chinese people have chosen to withdraw from the CCP, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers.” Like the Soviet Union, Eastern European countries are slowly disintegrating.

He mentioned that the "three withdrawals" march in support of 400 million Chinese people in Taipei itself showed that "400 million people have already chosen to quit the Communist Party, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers."

Ming Juzheng said that the meaning of the parade itself is to tell the Taiwanese and the world that this is happening, so that people who do not know it are clear but more importantly, let those who are trapped in the Iron Curtain know that there are so many people out there who are concerned about this activity. On the one hand, it encourages them, and on the other hand, it points them in the direction of future actions.

Therefore, "this is a very important conscience awakening movement", Ming Juzheng appealed, hoping that everyone can face this matter, because this matter will come to the Chinese mainland in the future when things like the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe happen, it should be the next human race. A new era has begun.

Zeng Jianyuan: Transformational justice highlights the importance of "Three Quits"

Zeng Jianyuan, chairman of the Chinese Democracy Academy Association, said that under the condition that they can freely express their wishes, so many people have come forward to express their views on the "Three Quits" movement. This is a huge contrast.

Zeng once said that it is human nature to believe that longing for freedom, so the CCP’s increasingly high-pressure social control over the years is against human nature, and it also violates the Chinese people’s expectations for the future development of China’s system. This kind of tense relationship is the future of China. The biggest variable in the game.

He said that in addition to the movement to quit the party, the next step is to think more actively and change the system of the Chinese Communist Party and the current system of the People's Republic of China, so that there can be more discussions and dialogues.

However, Zeng Jianyuan said that the "Three Quits" at least let us know that there are so many people in mainland China, and there are hundreds of millions of people who hold the same beliefs as us, so that people have the same beliefs about quitting the party or promoting the future. The direction of China's democratization has increased a lot of confidence.

As for the help of the "three withdrawals" to the disintegration of the Communist Party, he once said that the movement to quit the Party is like buying an insurance in advance, especially in the future, China will definitely face transitional justice. In the process, those who have contributed have the opportunity to be forgiven and understood,  "this issue highlights the significance of the movement to quit the Party."

Hu Jintao was taken away because of Hu Chunhua? The 20th National Congress post-cleaning is approaching

Reporters : Han Fei, Luo Ya / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/10/26/a103560091.html

Hu Jintao was publicly escorted away at the closing ceremony of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, causing an international uproar. Critics believe that due to Hu Jintao's special status and status, this incident will definitely become a destabilizing factor for Xi Jinping's "unification", Xi Jinping is likely to have follow-up actions, and a new round of purges may be coming.

On the 24th, the CCP media issued a document saying that the formation of the CCP's "two committees" (the Central Committee and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection) was personally checked by Xi Jinping. The article emphasizes that leadership positions are not "iron chairs", and those who meet the age do not necessarily continue to be nominated. It was also mentioned that some people "voluntarily" stepped back.

Wang Juntao, chairman of the National Committee of China Democracy Party: "There is still some game between Xi Jinping's circle and anti-Xi forces, but basically it is the question of how Xi Jinping's forces clean up them. Who is left, such as a fig leaf or something, or a decoration issue."

Wang Juntao believes that Xi Jinping will further consolidate his power at the 20th National Congress, and the next step must be followed by a large-scale purge of dissident factions.

Wang Juntao: "I think he will roughly start a large-scale purge and purge, and there will be a bloody storm in China. He is making everyone his own now, but he doesn't want any constraints."

At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the regimental faction was completely "cleared", and Hu Jintao was even taken away in public. Times commentator Wen Zhao believes that for whatever reason, Hu Jintao's forcible removal at the 20th National Congress is an established fact, and it will definitely bring aftershocks.

Wen Zhao, a cultural scholar and commentator on China issues: "Hu Jintao and his family, because of their special status and status, have become a destabilizing factor for Xi Jinping. So my estimate is that there is a high probability that he will have follow-up actions."

Wen Zhao: "But the most dangerous people today. I think it's not Lao Hu or Hu Jintao, but Xiao Hu and Hu Chunhua."

This time, the new Politburo members of the Communist Party of China have changed from 25 to 24 members, but there are no alternate members, which is very strange. According to the practice of the CCP, in order to avoid deadlock in voting, the number of members is generally an odd number; when the number of members is even, there are alternate members. Observers believe it is very likely that one of the 25 was taken down at the last minute.

Zhang Tianliang, a commentator on current affairs, a scholar of history and culture, said: "The person who was suddenly removed should be Hu Chunhua. Therefore, because it was Hu Chunhua who was removed temporarily, he was afraid that Hu Jintao would lose his temper when he saw it, and he didn't want Hu Jintao to see it. This is also an explanation. "

Wen Zhao believes that Hu Chunhua, as a former successor of the CCP, may be in an extremely dangerous situation once he is defeated.

Wen Zhao: "Once the abolished prince is successfully resurrected, it will do great harm to the old emperor, but if the abolished prince is not successfully resurrected, it will be extremely harmful to the abolished prince himself. No matter what the abolished prince himself thinks, some people want to reactivate it and bring it back online. This shows that he is valuable to the enemy, and of course it is a real threat to the old emperor, so Hu Chunhua's current situation is quite dangerous."

After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there has been a voice of allegiance from all over the CCP. On the 24th, party media reported that Li Keqiang, Li Zhanshu and Wang Yang presided over the State Council, the National People's Congress and the CPPCC party group meetings respectively, showing their loyalty to Xi Jinping.

However, unlike Li Zhanshu and Wang Yang, Li Keqiang's picture did not appear in the report from beginning to end, but the anchor read the dry draft from beginning to end.

The Epoch Times columnist Zhou Xiaohui believes that, firstly, because the top officials are afraid of the public opinion effect of the Hu Jintao incident, Li Keqiang is forbidden to appear but Li Keqiang will still be the prime minister before the two sessions in March 2023.

Another possible reason is that the chairperson of the meeting was not Li Keqiang, but in order to demonstrate the unity within the CCP, Li Keqiang was brought up in the news to deceive the people. The reason for Li Keqiang's absence from the meeting is likely to be related to Xi's actions against Hu Jintao and Tuanpai at the closing ceremony.

Li Qiang was promoted, the CCP's extreme closure and control have become advertised, and all places are busy clearing

Reporter : Yu Ting / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/10/26/a103560079.html / Image : Video Screenshot

After the tragedy of the lockdown in March 2022, not only secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee Li Qiang did not need to take responsibility, but he was also successfully promoted to the second-in-command of the CCP, becoming a benchmark for extreme epidemic prevention in various CCP-controlled cities.

Shanghai resident: "At 12 o'clock this evening, all the neighborhoods were closed, and now buses are starting to pull people."

Today's Shanghai is still under constant lockdowns and nucleic acid testing is normalized. The authorities announced on the 25th that the service of free nucleic acid testing points will be extended again, tentatively scheduled to 30 November, and social media is full of mourning, criticizing the authorities' epidemic prevention and control measures are endless.

On 25 October, the CCP officially announced that there were 1,080 new local cases in a single day. The real data is unknown, but one-third of them were from Shanxi. Netizens in Shanxi sent a message for help, saying that, like Wuhan in those years, there was a lack of food and medicine. The elderly and weak, women and children are also unable to get help, and the police enforce the law violently.

"All personnel must go home immediately," the Guangzhou government broadcast.

In other transportation hub areas or manufacturing centres, such as Guangzhou, Zhengzhou, Xi'an and other places, there is a risk of closing the cities at any time when the epidemic re-emerges. The government's control is gradually escalating, almost paralyzing various industries and reducing the scope of people's activities .

Zhengzhou resident: "On the 12th day of quarantine, I have nothing at home."
Zhengzhou resident: "The original plan was to say that starting from the 17th, the community with no abnormal nucleic acid for 7 consecutive days can be gradually unblocked, but now, it is far away. No government department can think about it for our common people. Let's stay at home with zero income, but our expenses remain the same, even higher than before. We have mortgages, credit cards,  and loans to repay. There are so many things to pay back. You say something like this how are we going to live."

At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese authorities claimed that after continuing the "zero-covid policy", the depreciation of the Renminbi accelerated, putting pressure on the Chinese economy, and the clearing measures also curbed people's travel and transportation plans, and dragged down consumption and business activities.

Global capitalists 'frustrated and angry' at Xi Jinping's 'new China'

对习近平的“新中国” 全球资本“沮丧和愤怒”


After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping's monopoly of power has worried investors in China. Just a day after Xi broke the two-term rule for Chinese leaders, Chinese capital lost $447 billion. Bank of America said international capital managers were "frustrated and angry."

According to Bloomberg, this shows that investor concerns about China's future growth model have reached an extreme.

Mark Mobius, co-founder of Mobius Capital Partners, said clearly, given the political changes, the outlook for Chinese investment is not good. Tensions have been exacerbated by the CCP's political stance against the United States.

On 24 October 2022, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 7.3%, its biggest drop since 2008, and the offshore Renminbi also fell to its lowest point since trading began in 2010.

According to the report, this is clearly the consequence of Xi Jinping's monopoly of power and his zero-covid policy, which runs counter to the world. Investors say it was unclear if Xi's policies were feasible during the first two terms, and now no one dares to oppose Xi's policies as pro-growth technocrats have been purged from the party's top ranks of leadership.

Relative to the performance of global stocks, the MSCI China index stunned investors this month by lagging behind its highest level since 2000. Despite the stock market's recovery on 25 October, investors remain wary of any buying opportunities given that there are few factors incentivizing the upside.

"There's a lot of bad news, and the market correction is obviously too big, but we're still looking for an inflection point that's still unclear," said Xiadong Bao, a fund manager at Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management in France. ."

The Nasdaq China Golden Dragon Index posted its biggest drop on record in a sell-off on the 24th, but rebounded on the 25th, the index once rose 5.9%, and technology giants such as JD.com, Pinduoduo and NetEase all rose at least 2%.

This pullback is unexpected, and some investors are optimistic that the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China will bring about changes. What worries investors, however, is the lack of supportive policies for the hard-hit real estate or tech sectors, the Chinese government's continued adherence to a "zero-covid" policy and no clear measures on how to stimulate the economy. This contradiction increases the risk of further decoupling between China and the West, deterring global investors or outright withdrawing funds.

Authoritative survey: Months after getting a covid vaccine, you are more susceptible to the covi

权威调查:接种COVID疫苗数月后 更易感染中共病毒

The latest authoritative survey report shows that months after vaccination against covid, the human body is more likely to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 (covi, CCP virus). This time, the investigation was aimed at the Pfizer vaccine produced by the United States and the AstraZeneca vaccine in the United Kingdom.

The article, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, showed that people who received a dose of Pfizer's vaccine entered a period of strongest immunity around the 28th day after vaccination, but the vaccine was only 69% effective at this time. Subsequently, the body's ability to resist the covi weakened, and by the 84th day, the vaccine effectiveness declined to a minimum value of -121%. After that, the body gradually recovered, and on the 84th day, the vaccine effectiveness rate was -85%. A negative vaccine efficacy rate means that vaccinated people are more likely to contract the virus than unvaccinated people.

For people who receive a dose of AstraZeneca vaccine, their immunity fluctuates in the first 60 days, and the vaccine is effective at 50% in the best state. After that, the vaccine began to play a negative role, and by day 84, the vaccine efficacy rate was -185%. After that, the body gradually recovered.

The report shows that in the first 98 days after receiving two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, the effectiveness of the vaccine was still positive, but those who received two doses of AstraZeneca vaccine began to have negative effects around 80 days after receiving the vaccine, making them more susceptible to infection.

At present, both Pfizer and AstraZeneca have commented on this.

This time, the UK-based research team followed the test on 12.9 million people in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Because the time period of data collection in the study was from 8 December 2020 to 30 June 2021, and there was no vaccine booster on the market at that time, the study failed to analyze the effect of the booster on humans.

Steven Kerr, a senior research fellow at the University of Edinburgh's Arthur Institute, and his team made different guesses, trying to understand why a vaccinated person was less immune than an unvaccinated person months later but all speculations are currently unable to verify its authenticity.

Recently, there have been research reports analyzing the impact of covid vaccines produced by different businesses on the human body. Without exception, researchers have found that after a period of time, the positive effects of vaccines on the human body have turned into negative effects, and the vaccinators have become more easily infected by covi.

FDA Officials: Time to develop alternatives to mRNA vaccines

Reporter : Li Li / Editor: Lin Qing / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/10/25/a103559819.html / Image : Numerous studies have shown that mRNA covid vaccines increase the risk of cardiovascular and cardiac adverse events. (Shutterstock)

FDA官员:是时候研发mRNA疫苗的替代疫苗了

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) vaccine chief suggested that it is time to shift from using mRNA covid vaccines to researching new types of vaccines.

The covid vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna, two of the most commonly used vaccines today, both use mRNA technology. Johnson & Johnson's vaccine is an adenovirus vector vaccine. The Novavax vaccine, the most recently approved covid vaccine in the United States, uses traditional techniques to deliver the "spike protein" of the covi into the body, most similar to common childhood vaccines.

A long-term solution to covi vaccination may not require the use of mRNA technology, FDA vaccine chief Peter Marks said in an interview with Stat News.

"We need to look at other types of vaccines to see which one might provide longer-lasting immunity," he added. "I hope we look at all available vaccines and all vaccines in development equally to find the best. "

The official added that this is not to disparage current mRNA vaccines, but it is the responsibility of the population to understand what vaccines might provide more effective and longer-lasting immunity against the covi. Because covi variants mutate so quickly, that means even updated drugs made by Moderna and Pfizer could fail quickly.

"We may have to adopt another vaccine, at least for a portion of the population, such as the elderly, by September or October next year," Marks added but the official did not elaborate on what steps might be taken next.

Despite the assertion by U.S. officials about mRNA vaccines, Moderna and Pfizer still hope to use the technology for other diseases including cancer and heart disease.

Earlier this month, Moderna chief executive Stephane Bancel told Sky News that Moderna was working on a plan to inject mRNA into people's hearts after a heart attack.

Meanwhile, Florida surgeon Joseph Ladapo said he does not recommend giving young men the mRNA covid vaccine. An analysis conducted by the state found that heart-related deaths increased substantially among men aged 18 to 39 after vaccination. This month, he said on Epoch TV's "American Thought Leaders" that "among 18- to 39-year-olds, it's clearly a sign of increased risk."

Radapo emphasized that there are many studies showing that mRNA covid vaccines increase the risk of cardiovascular and cardiac adverse events.

Sunak promises to be tough on the CCP after becoming the prime minister of the UK

Image : Video Screenshot

On Tuesday (25 October 2022), Sunak officially became the UK's third prime minister in seven weeks, with the primary task of leading the country through the economic crisis. Can his previously promised tough policy toward the CCP come true? 

Sunak, 42, is not only Britain's youngest prime minister in more than two hundred years, but also the first non-white leader.

At present, he has announced the latest cabinet list, the members include:

Former Foreign Minister Raab was appointed as Chancellor of Justice and Minister of Justice, and concurrently as Deputy Prime Minister;
Chancellor of the Exchequer will continue to be Hunter;
Foreign Secretary and Defence Secretary remain the same, still Cleverley and Wallace;
Tugendhat, who was sanctioned by China for criticizing China's human rights issues, also retained his post as security minister.

Sunak faces a situation of internal and external troubles. In addition to uniting and revitalizing the deeply divided Conservative Party, his biggest challenge is to boost the British economy and lead the country out of the recession. He is expected to slash spending to rebuild Britain's fiscal reputation.

Although Sunak has not announced any China policy, he previously pointed out during the campaign that the Chinese Communist Party is the biggest threat to the security and prosperity of the United Kingdom and the world. He promised to take a tough stance on the Chinese Communist Party. Specific measures include:


- Close all 30 Confucius Institutes in the UK;
- Create NATO-style international cooperation to counter the CCP threat;
- Using MI5 to help British companies fight CCP espionage;
- Review the need for Chinese acquisitions of key UK assets.

Cleverley, Wallace, and Tugendhat in this administration are all China hawks. 

Whether Sunak can fulfill his campaign promises, let us wait and see.

苏纳克拜登首通话 誓抵抗中共并支持乌克兰


The new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak officially took office on Tuesday (25 October 2022), and a few hours after his inauguration, he had a phone call with U.S. President Joe Biden. During the talks, the two leaders agreed to jointly boycott CCP and support Ukraine.

The White House said in a summary of the conversation that Biden and Sunak reaffirmed the "special relationship" between the U.S. and the U.K. and said they would work together to advance global security and prosperity. The two leaders agreed to work together to support Ukraine and hold Russia accountable for aggression, while addressing the challenges posed by CCP China.

Downing Street also released a summary of its own call that day, which mentioned, "The two leaders discussed the extent of Anglo-American cooperation, both bilaterally and in regions such as the Indo-Pacific, where the Treaty of Oculus constitutes as part of our efforts to strengthen stability and counter China's malign influence."

The two leaders also agreed on the need to ensure the safety and prosperity of the people of Northern Ireland by upholding the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. They are expected to meet in person in Indonesia at the G20 summit in November 2022.

Sunak also spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the same day and promised continued British support as Ukraine fends off Russian aggression. Zelenskyy also invited Sunak to visit Ukraine.

A Downing Street spokesman said Sunak spoke with Zelenskyy "to underscore the UK's unwavering support for Ukraine". The prime minister said that British support for Ukraine will be as strong as ever during his term as prime minister, and President Zelenskyy can count on continued solidarity with the British government.

Sunak tweeted that it was an "honour" to speak with Zelensky and that "we will always stand with Ukraine." Mr Zelensky tweeted that it was an "excellent conversation" and the two agreed to "write a new chapter" in their relationship.

Russia responded to Britain's new prime minister in the coldest possible terms. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that in Moscow, "in the foreseeable future, we do not see any preconditions, basis and hope for a positive change in the relationship between the UK and Russia".

Sunak, who took over the mess left by former Prime Minister Truss, convened his cabinet for the first time on the 26th, a day after taking office, promising to correct his predecessor's mistakes and stabilize the economy.

Sunak's top agenda will be to prepare a fiscal statement that financial markets are eagerly awaiting, scheduled for 31 October 2022. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said on 26 October that the new prime minister may delay unveiling plans to repair the country's public finances.

Cleverley did not give a definitive answer when asked about the timing of the fiscal announcement and how the government expects to make up for a budget shortfall of up to 40 billion pounds ($45.88 billion).

"What we do is make sure we get it right," Cleverley told the BBC. "If that means a short delay, to make sure we get it right, I don't think that's a bad thing at all."

Investors did not appear to be concerned about the potential delay. Sterling rose nearly 1% against the dollar, extending its recent recovery, while UK government bond prices were little changed.

Russian newspaper discriminates Sunak

Image : Web Screenshot


Britain's newly-elected Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been called the "premier from the slums" by a Russian newspaper.

The financial publication Kommersant used the slur against the prime minister, 42, as well as dubbing him the 'first black head of the British government' - a term that is often used to refer to someone who is 'dark-skinned'.

Kommersant used sixteen images to document Rishi's rise to power, and in the first wrote: 'Both of Rishi Sunak's grandfathers are Punjabis from the most disadvantaged regions of British India.' 

Sunak's paternal grandparents - Ramdas and Suhag - were born in Gujranwala, in what was then British India but is now Pakistan. Little is known about their upbringing but the couple are unlikely to have grown up wealthy.

At some point they relocated to Tanzania to small community of Punjabi Indians. Living in the same region - in what was then the nation of Tanganyika - were Rishi's maternal grandparents Raghubir, an immigrant, and Sraksha, who was born locally.

In the 1960s, Sraksha sold her wedding jewellery to move to the UK where she got a job as a book-keeper and saved up enough to move the rest of the family - including Rishi's parents Yashvir and Usha - to Britain.

Yashvir and Usha settled in Southampton where he worked as an NHS GP and she ran a pharmacy, which was where RIshi was born in 1980. 

The publication put out the images on their website and social media after Sunak was elected.

It chronicled his journey into politics from the age of 17, when he wrote his first political manifesto.

And the paper also wrote of the jobs he had before he came a politician in 2015.

The article also published images of Sunak and his wife and discussed the politicians whom he has supported throughout his career.

Kommersant also wrote of Sunak's riches, as the new leader and his wife take the position of 222nd richest in the world, with a combined fortune of 730 million. 

The use of the slurs to describe Sunak comes after Russia, who is in an ongoing war with Ukraine, said there is "no hope" of an ease in tensions under the new leader.

Kremlin sees no hope in easing tensions with the UK while other countries' leaders congratulate Sunak

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the appointment of the former chancellor will do little to repair the damaged diplomatic relationship caused by Vladimir Putin's barbaric invasion of Ukraine.

However, Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the new leader, after forging a strong friendship with Boris Johnson who was unwavering in his support of Kyiv.

Peskov said yesterday, "At the moment, we do not see any preconditions, grounds, or hope that in the foreseeable future there will be any positive changes.

"Russia maintains its openness and readiness to discuss the most difficult issues at the negotiating table. But not to the detriment of its own interests."

Mr Zelenskyy instead congratulated Mr Sunak and said it was a chance to strengthen ties even further with a key military ally.

The Ukrainian President said, "Congratulations to Rishi Sunak on taking office as British Prime Minister!"

'I wish you too successfully overcome all the challenges facing British society and the whole world today.

'I'm ready to continue strengthening the Ukrainian-British strategic partnership together!' the Ukrainian leader added.

Emmanuel Macron also joined in with the chorus of congratulations from world leaders for the new PM.

The French President had a tricky relationship with Mr Johnson and Liz Truss, who refused to say whether he was a 'friend or foe'.

Mr Macron said yesterday, "Congratulations to Rishi Sunak... together we will continue working to tackle the challenges of the moment, including the war in Ukraine and its many consequences for Europe and the world."

Elsewhere in Europe, German chancellor Olaf Scholz congratulated Mr Sunak after he became Britain's third prime minister this year, and vowed to continue working closely with London.

"I look forward to our further cooperation and partnership in NATO and G7 as close friends," Mr Scholz tweeted.

From Italy, newly installed Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that she was "eager to cooperate with [Mr Sunak] and his Cabinet on the common challenges, standing for our shared values of freedom and democracy."

Irish PM: Sunak is pragmatic and knows how the economy works

Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, who is due to take over as prime minister in December, said he was encouraged by the pragmatism and lack of 'magical thinking' demonstrated by Mr Sunak.

Mr Varadkar, who was a key player in trade talks between Britain and the European Union during an earlier stint as prime minister, said however that Ireland would be realistic about Mr Sunak's history as a Brexit supporter.

'I think he has demonstrated during his period as chancellor that he did have a real understanding of the economy and how it works ... and a real concern for businesses and jobs,' he said of Sunak at a press briefing today.

"And I think he has probably demonstrated a lot of pragmatism and less of the magical thinking that we perhaps have seen from some British politicians and I think that is encouraging," he said.

Dublin, however, needs to be realistic in its expectations of a breakthrough due to Sunak's history as an early supporter of Brexit, Mr Varadkar said.

Modi congratulates Sunak ahead of the others while Indian communities herald Sunak, an "inspiration for youngsters"

Indian prime minister Narendra Modi did not wait for Sunak to be officially appointed, sending congratulations via Twitter on Monday.

'As you become UK PM, I look forward to working closely together on global issues,' Mr Modi wrote.

'Special Diwali wishes to the "living bridge" of UK Indians, as we transform our historic ties into a modern partnership,' he added.

Mr Sunak is married to an Indian, Akshata Murty, the daughter of the co-founder of IT giant Infosys.

Elsewhere, the president of Rishi Sunak's home temple in Southampton said the UK is undergoing its own 'Barack Obama' moment with him becoming PM.

Sanjay Chandarana, president of the Vedic Society Temple - which Mr Sunak's grandfather co-founded 50 years ago - also said his elevation to Prime Minister meant more fireworks would be needed for Deepavali celebrations on 24 October 2022 and that Mr Sunak would be an 'inspiration for youngsters'. 

Parliamentarian Raghav Chadha tweeted on Monday,  "Today, as India celebrates Diwali in its 75th year as an independent nation, the UK gets an Indian-origin Prime Minister. History comes full circle." 

With his victory coming on Deepavali, Mr Sunak will be the UK's first Hindu prime minister, the first of Asian heritage, and the youngest for more than 200 years at the age of 42. 

'It is a moment of pride for India that the country which ruled us for many years has now a prime minister of Indian heritage,' said Manoj Garg, a New Delhi businessman.

Mr Sunak will be the first person of colour to become prime minister, an accomplishment reflecting that of Kamala Harris, a woman of Indian heritage who became U.S. vice president last year.

Former Bihar state government chief secretary Dr M.A. Ibrahimi tweeted, "Rishi Sunak is now set to be elected leader of Conservative Party to become UK PM. All Indians are proud of his achievement." 

Tory former Cabinet minister Sajid Javid said Rishi Sunak becoming the first prime minister of Asian heritage is "something we can all celebrate".
