On 5 March 2023, at the National People’s Congress of the Communist Party of China, Li Keqiang, the outgoing Premier of the State Council of the Communist Party of China, delivered his last government work report. It only took an hour to say his farewell to the political arena. A video posted on the Internet shows that Li Keqiang shouted "people are doing (doing), the sky is watching, and the sky has eyes" when he bid farewell to the staff of the State Council for the last time. Under the CCP's atheist ideology, this statement has attracted public attention.
According to a report by Radio Free Asia, Li Keqiang put forward 8 work suggestions for this year in his report, only talking about the economy and people's livelihood, not religion, ethnicity, social stability and governance; he avoided talking about the harm to China's economy and society caused by the eradication of the epidemic, and emphasized that China's economic "New achievements" set a new target of about 5% economic growth this year.
Although China’s economic growth last year fell short of the target, only 3%, this year’s economic growth target is set at around 5%. Like last year, this is the lowest level of development expectations set by the CCP government in more than 20 years.
According to media reports, after the opening meeting, Xi Jinping took the initiative to walk up to Premier Li Keqiang, shook hands with him, and then turned away to greet others with a nod.

On 2 March 2023, "Li Yong Leon", a big V on Sina Weibo and the host of Superchat, posted that today (2nd), he (Li Keqiang) together with the leaders of the State Council (the thirteenth session of the Communist Party of China), submitted to the State Council More than 800 people from the general office took a group photo to bid farewell.
The post is accompanied by a video. The video showed that Li Keqiang kept waving to the people at the scene, followed by Hu Chunhua, Liu He and other leaders of the State Council. Several cameras followed Li Keqiang to shoot. He then walked to his seat and took a photo with the entire State Department staff.
Another video shows that Li Keqiang shouted that the sun is shining today, like spring, and people often say "people are doing it, God is watching, and God has eyes." The video went viral on overseas Twitter, and Li Keqiang's words attracted public attention.
Netizens on Twitter commented: "I always feel that Li Keqiang said in his farewell speech that 'people are doing it, the sky is watching' was meant for someone."
"People are doing it, and God s watching. These few words are just to excuse myself from the guilt of 'being in his position but not seeking his own government'."
"This also applies to him. He hasn't done anything in the past ten years. He came up with ideas other than setting up street stalls. The State Council he works in has never done anything for the people. The sky is also watching."
Li Keqiang, who is about to leave office, has spoken on different occasions many times before leaving office. After inspecting the National Development and Reform Commission of the Communist Party of China a few days ago, he shouted at the door to the on-site personnel that "the driving force for development lies in reform." This is also the reform he has mentioned many times since he stepped down as a member of the Standing Committee of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Some analysts believe that this sentence may refer to Xi Jinping's policy of "advancing the state and withdrawing from the people", the last "exhortation" to Xi before leaving office.
The Central News Agency concluded that Li Keqiang is considered to be the weakest prime minister since the reform and opening up of the Communist Party of China. General Secretary Xi Jinping, through two groups - the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group and the Central Comprehensive Deepening Reform Commission (Deep Reform Commission), has traditionally considered the premier China's economic power was taken away, making the State Council only an order-observing agency.
According to the report, he may not be able to do what his two predecessors, Wen Jiabao and Zhu Rongji, did. The former spoke out the fact that China needs political reform; the latter carried out drastic reforms in the economic system. But he at least told the truth, "There are 600 million people with low-middle income and below in China." This sentence was said a year before Xi Jinping was going to complete the fight against poverty, but judging from the challenges facing the Chinese economy today , are meaningful.
Wang Yang, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, also made his last CPPCC report on the 4th. Both Wang Yang and Li Keqiang belong to the Youth League faction, and neither of them served as members of the Standing Committee of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, nor are they members of the Central Committee. After the current Two Sessions, the Tuanpai basically withdrew from the CCP's political vision.

Who are you talking about? Li Keqiang bid farewell, "People are doing it, God is watching"
The first session of the 14th National People's Congress of China opened in Beijing on the 5th. Premier Li Keqiang delivered the last government work report during his term of office. It only took about an hour. He and fellow "( Wang Yangdu, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), will "retire naked", which is considered to symbolize the end of an era. A picture circulated on the Internet, Li Keqiang shouted "people are doing it, God is watching" when saying goodbye to the staff of the State Council.
At the National People's Congress, Li Keqiang avoided talking about the harm of zero-covid to China's economy and society, emphasized China's new economic achievements, and set a new target of 5% economic growth this year. In addition, this year the Chinese government will speed up the modernization of the military's logistics and asset management systems, and continue to carry out national defense and military reforms. In the Taiwan-related part, it declares that it will "adhere to the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, firmly oppose independence and promote reunification, promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and advance the process of peaceful reunification of the motherland."
Li Keqiang delivered the work report, and the whole process took only about one hour. After the opening meeting, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, walked up to Li Keqiang and shook hands, then turned to greet other people and left. The interaction between the two sides was cold.

People often say, "People are doing it, and God is watching. It seems that the sky has eyes. Seeing the comrades of the State Council who have worked hard and made solid contributions over the years, they should be rewarded... .” After finishing speaking, there was a burst of embarrassing laughter.
This scene also aroused heated discussions among netizens, who ridiculed "Who are you alluding to?" "Baozi: Who are you talking about?" Let's have fun now, and make a list in the future", "People are doing it, God is watching, God will destroy the Communist Party, right...".

Zhang Wenhong revealed that the epidemic situation before the new year was "very tense"

In the afternoon of 4 March 2023, Zhang Wenhong, an expert on the prevention and control of the Chinese Communist Party, revealed at the press conference of the Two Sessions that on the eve of the Chinese New Year this year, the epidemic situation was very tense, and the pressure on medical staff was unprecedented.
On the same day, the first "committee channel" press conference of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was held in the press conference hall of the Great Hall of Beijing. Most of Zhang Wenhong's speech at the press conference was to stand up for the CCP, but some truths were also revealed in his words.
He said: "In the month before the Spring Festival, the epidemic was very tense. As medical workers, we were under great pressure, which should be said to be unprecedented."
In his speech, he also revealed the true situation of Shanghai’s medical system, “I went to Zhujiajiao for a round of consultation that day. The medical force here is very weak. There is no tertiary hospital in the whole district. I was taking care of my 90-year-old mother, she had difficulty breathing, and a CT scan at the hospital showed large white lungs, so she should be transferred to a tertiary hospital, but after a certain time, she had to be treated on the spot."
The content of Zhang Wenhong’s above speech revealed the tragic situation of the full-scale outbreak of the epidemic in China after the CCP released the epidemic prevention and control without warning and preparation in early December last year.
At that time, Beijing, Shanghai and other first-tier cities were hit by an unprecedented epidemic. All hospitals were full, medicines were in short supply, funeral parlours piled up with corpses, and cremation could not be completed within 24 hours.
A large number of medical staff were also infected with covid and were forced by the authorities to go to work with the disease. Videos posted on the Internet showed that the hospital system was on the verge of collapse, and doctors and patients were equally exhausted. There were even scenes of medical staff and patients' families kneeling together, hoping for forgiveness.
At the same time, the CCP retired and served as senior officials, party members, and scholars and celebrities from all walks of life who stood for the CCP died intensively, and obituaries on the Internet continued.
As the epidemic spread to rural areas, rural medical facilities were poor, medical staff, and medicines were seriously insufficient, resulting in a large number of deaths. Every village added new graves, coffins were sold out, and paper horses and paper figures for funerals were also in short supply.
During the peak period of the epidemic, the CCP covered up the epidemic, banned the writing of infection with covid on the death certificate, modified the death standard of the epidemic, and even stopped publishing the epidemic data. The severity of the epidemic is artificially excluded from the public's sight.
However, the official death figures from the epidemic have not only been questioned by the Chinese people, but officials from the World Health Organization have also publicly condemned the CCP’s data as seriously inaccurate and demanded more detailed figures.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the CCP increased the number of deaths from the epidemic from dozens of people to nearly 60,000 within a month, but this number is still considered to have shrunk severely. As a result, the credibility of the CCP authorities has been questioned again.
The Epoch Times reported in mid-January that Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, taught that the CCP covered up the epidemic. In three years, more than 400 million people died in the epidemic in China, shocking the world.

Reporters : Yan Feng and Lin Mingdi / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/03/05/a103662723.html / Image : Video Screenshot
Former U.S. President Trump delivered a speech at the annual meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday (4 March 2023), saying that if he is re-elected as President of the United States, the Comunists will get out of America.
In a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, the largest gathering of conservatives in the United States, Trump said that if elected president, one of the top issues on his agenda would be fighting for parents' rights and ending chemical and surgical procedures for American teenagers, fight transgender and teach American values and history and traditions in schools.
He also promised to "reverse President Biden's executive order promoting Marxist diversity in every federal agency."
Former US President Trump: "We are now a Marxist mentality, a communist mentality, and worse, our country is in decline, and our enemies are doing everything they can to stop us because they know we are the only ones who can defeat them The people in this room are very important and they know we will beat them and we can beat them and they are not only attacking me but you as well because I am in their way and that is why I am standing here today reason, because we want to continue what we started and didn't finish."
He said that if elected, he would immediately fire all employees employed to carry out the Marxist agenda, urged Congress to create a compensation fund for Americans unfairly discriminated against by these policies, and prohibit all racial discrimination in government.
Trump: "I said America can never be a socialist country, and I've said it many times."
The former president also promised to "completely wipe out the deep state."
Trump: "We're going to drive out globalism, we're going to drive out communism, we're going to get rid of politicians who hate our country, who have no borders, no border walls, no by-elections, no papers to vote."
Other moves on Trump's promise list include a dramatic increase in border patrol and a massive increase in the number of Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
Trump: "People are coming into our country illegally, staying in our beautiful hotel rooms, and maybe watching us on TV right now."
Trump also promised to specifically target gang members and plans to tackle illegal drug imports.
Trump: "We will accomplish our mission, we will continue to fight until we win, and we will make America great again."
Trump easily won the action conference attendee vote, with 62 percent of the vote, while his closest contender, Florida Gov. DeSantis, got just 20 percent. In addition, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, former Secretary of State Pompeo (Michael R. Pompeo) and others are all interested in competing for the Republican nomination in the 2024 general election.

Yu Maochun joked about "Contemporary Qin Hui": I want to buy communist propaganda

Miles Yu Maochun, the former chief adviser on China policy of the US State Department, was slandered as a "contemporary Qin Hui", and a kneeling bronze statue was made in imitation of his image. But Yu Maochun didn't care about it at all, and planned to buy this "communist kitsch propaganda material".

Yu Maochun: Buy this communist propaganda kitsch
Recently, a video went viral on China's "TikTok", a kneeling bronze statue of Yu Maochun, with a sign with his biography, saying that he is "the 'operator' behind the US bullying policy against China"" Betrayed the family and the country, and forgotten the ancestors." The caster of the kneeling statue is signed by Hu Tianmo.

According to online information, Hu Tianmo is a freelancer in Quyang, Hebei Province. He opened a special account of "Dou. Traitor" on Douyin, and this short video got him a lot of traffic.
However, this obviously personal attack video caused an uproar among overseas netizens. @Hades "Not Chatting": "Shameless and obscene, making the world laugh out loud."
@Peter Rabbit: "On the day the CCP fell, I suggested that Mr. Yu collect it! This also proves that Mr. Yu hit the nail on the head. How many pro-democracy movements and so on don't have this honour..."
Zeng Zheng, an overseas media person, bluntly stated on Twitter that although scolding the CCP means that Yu Maochun did the right thing, this kneeling statue still makes her feel sad.
Yu Maochun himself didn't care about this. He responded by tweeting on March 2, saying that he wanted to "buy this communist propaganda kitsch product", and attached the Internet trendy phrase "LOL (laugh out loud)".
On the 3rd, Yu Maochun said in an interview with Radio Free Asia that he personally did not care about this kind of "low taste" at all, and he was not surprised that something like this happened in China.
Yu Maochun said that this is a concrete response to the Communist Party's political culture and philosophy of struggle. The Communist Party's usual method is to humiliate and personally attack those who rationally criticize them, and incite public hatred, vulgarize serious topics in an attempt to shift the focus, so as to completely avoid the world's rational criticism of the CCP.
He also did not think it was Hu Tianmo's personal behavior. He explained that in a society where the CCP is highly centralized and controlled by speech, the possibility of truly making political statements in one's own name without being monitored and recognized by the government simply does not exist.
"(This) bronze statue used to slander me is completely a full expression of national consciousness and the political culture of the Communist Party." Yu Maochun said.
He also emphasized that rumours that he was removed from the family tree a few years ago, that he was later sanctioned by the CCP’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and that he came out to kneel down to the bronze statue now have no effect on him, and he will continue to expose the CCP.
Yu Maochun also said that he also received support and encouragement from many netizens, who believed that this bronze statue was a symbol of another "Medal of Honor" for him, and he expressed his heartfelt thanks for these solidarity.
He said that more and more "Chinese who do not want to be slaves" have awakened.

Yu Maochun: The CCP does not represent the Chinese people
Yu Maochun, 60 years old, is a Chinese-American. He was born in Anhui Province and grew up in Chongqing. He experienced the Cultural Revolution and attended Yongchuan Middle School in Chongqing. After graduation, he went to study in the United States and taught at the United States Naval Academy (USNA) for many years.
During the administration of former US President Trump, Yu Maochun served as Secretary of State Pompeo’s chief China policy advisor. Regarding the reshaping of U.S. policy towards China, especially the promotion of differentiating the Chinese people from the CCP, “The CCP does not represent China. ""The CCP does not represent the Chinese people" has important influence. He is now a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, continuing to expose the evil nature of the CCP.
In February 2021, former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo and Yu Maochun jointly published an article in the "Wall Street Journal" entitled "China's Negligence Costs the World a High Price", subtitled "Beijing is Obsessed with Viruses, but Doesn't Care About Biosecurity" . The article pointed out that the CCP authorities ignored the safety of biological virus research, which led to the global epidemic of the covid virus.
On 20 February 2023, Yu Maochun published another article, pointing out that the Chinese Communist Party, in conjunction with Taiwan’s pro-communist media and politicians, has continuously launched a cognitive war against Taiwan. The Chinese Communist Party wants to forcibly instill three wrong perceptions, including doubts about the determination of the United States to defend Taiwan, if the CCP does not send troops to Taiwan, it will declare independence, and the United States will use Taiwan as cannon fodder to weaken the CCP’s strength.
Yu Maochun retorted that the reason why the United States wants to defend Taiwan is because Taiwan has the same freedom and democratic system as the United States, and freedom and democracy are exactly what the CCP absolutely cannot give to the people.

Don't dare to buy domestically produced C919 airliner? Greater Bay Airlines orders Boeing jets
Image : Web Screenshot
Greater Bay Airlines have recently announced that they have ordered 15 Boeing 737-9 MAX passenger planes, and plan to purchase other types of Boeing passenger planes in the future. It did not order the domestically-produced large passenger aircraft C919, which was promoted by the Chinese Communist Party's official media as "national pride", but purchased a competitor's passenger aircraft in large sums. The outside world suspected that it was related to the failure of the C919 during the test flight and the failure of commercial flight so far.

737-9 MAX is better in cost reduction
In this regard, Huang Chubiao, the founder of Greater Bay Airlines, said that he has been "associated" with Boeing for many years, and Donghai Airlines uses Boeing 737 passenger planes. Considering the "Bay Area Effect", Shenzhen and Hong Kong use the same passenger plane, which is convenient for maintenance and reduce costs. Moreover, the 737-9 has better carrying capacity and endurance, which can help reduce operating costs and expand the flight network, which can bring better economic benefits.
Huang Chubiao said, "We have worked with Boeing for many years. The 20 models of Shenzhen-based Donghai Airlines are all Boeing 737-800. We have been in business for so many years. Its cost-effectiveness and safety performance are good...it is a cost-effective oil and comfortable aircraft.”
He went on to say that Greater Bay Airlines does not rule out the possibility of using the C919 passenger plane in the future but the temporary delivery capacity of this passenger plane is not as strong as that of Boeing.
According to Hong Kong media reports, in response to questions from the outside world about why Greater Bay Airlines still choose to purchase aircraft from American companies when the relationship between the United States and China has deteriorated, Huang Chubiao explained that the users of the new passenger aircraft purchased by the airline are Hong Kong while Hong Kong is a place of "one country, two systems", business contacts have nothing to do with politics.
The C919 large passenger aircraft is China's first domestically-made jet mainline passenger aircraft independently developed in accordance with international airworthiness standards. The seat class is 158-168, and the range is 4075-5555 km. It is said to be the same class of passenger aircraft as the Airbus 320 and Boeing 737 models currently on the international aviation market. The CCP’s official media once vigorously promoted this domestically-made airliner, labeling it as "national pride."

Technical failure caused C919's 100-hour verification flight plan to be shelved
Image : CARNOC
However, in early February of this year, just a few days after the C919 started its test flight, rumors broke out that a failure caused the 100-hour verification flight plan to be shelved.
At that time, a person familiar with the matter disclosed to the foreign media that the domestic C919 passenger plane purchased by China Eastern Airlines - China Eastern Airlines B919A was tested on February 2 between Shanghai Hongqiao Airport and Beijing Daxing Airport. The next verification flight plan, and China Eastern, which purchased the C919, never mentioned this matter.
People familiar with the matter said that there is no commercial flight of this aircraft at present, and if the test flight does not go well, it is estimated that it may not start commercial operation by the end of February.
C919 has been developed for more than ten years, and now it has been mentioned to a very high strategic position, and it is regarded as a backup plan once it is decoupled from Europe and the United States. However, insiders revealed that due to fear of accidents, the aircraft was basically assembled with various imported components, and the industry was not optimistic about the basic safety of the C919.
The insider also said that so far, only China Eastern has dared to take over the C919, and other airlines have no intention of "dripping in muddy water."
