Politico in the United States published an article on 6 December 2023 titled "Xi Jinping's Stalin-style purge sweeps across China." The main content of the article is as follows:
While the world is distracted by wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, a Stalin-style purge is sweeping through China's extremely secretive political system, the Chinese Communist Party. As party leader Xi Jinping eradicates "enemies" in his eyes, the Chinese Communist Party's foreign and defense departments Officials continue to disappear and die mysteriously, sending clear signs to the outside world of instability at the top levels of Beijing. This has a huge impact on the global economy and even prospects for regional peace.
On 25 June 2023, Qin Gang, who had served as the Foreign Minister of the Communist Party of China for less than six months, also held meetings in Beijing with the foreign ministers of Sri Lanka and Vietnam, and the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko.
Then he disappeared.
According to several people with access to senior Chinese Communist Party officials, Rudenko’s real mission in going to Beijing was to inform Xi Jinping that his Foreign Minister Qin Gang had provided intelligence to the West and that several senior officials of the Chinese Communist Party’s military had been captured by Western intelligence agencies. .
After Qin Gang disappeared, rumors about his affair with Hong Kong Phoenix TV host Fu Xiaotian appeared on the Internet. It is said that Qin Gang and Fu Xiaotian have an illegitimate son who is an American citizen. These stories are widely circulated online with the tacit approval of the Chinese Communist Party’s Internet censors.

Xi Jinping is conducting a major purge within the Chinese Communist Party
Starting from the second half of this year, problems occurred in the high-level connections between the CCP’s diplomatic and military systems. Qin Gang, who was dismissed as State Councilor and Foreign Minister, Li Shangfu, who was dismissed as State Councilor and Defense Minister, and Li Yuchao and Xu Zhongbo, who were internally announced to be dismissed from their positions as Rocket Force Commander and Political Commissar respectively, are all members of the 20th Central Committee.
Although China’s security services have escalated the crackdown to totalitarian levels, making it almost impossible to understand what is actually happening inside China, the political message from Beijing is unmistakable.

The unexplained disappearances and dismissals of China’s foreign and defense ministers are just two examples of Xi Jinping loyalists who were hand-picked and promoted in the months before their disappearance earlier this year.
Other high-profile casualties include the general in charge of China’s nuclear weapons program and some of the most senior officials overseeing China’s financial industry. Several of these Xi Jinping followers have died in custody.
Another ominous sign is the sudden death of Li Keqiang, the recently retired former Prime Minister of the Communist Party of China and the second-ranking figure in the Communist Party of China at the end of October. The official explanation given by the Chinese Communist Party is that Li Keqiang died of a heart attack in a swimming pool in Shanghai, even though Li Keqiang enjoyed the best medical services in the world. After his death, Xi Jinping ordered a sharp reduction in public mourning for him.
In the minds of many Chinese, "having a heart attack in a swimming pool" because of angering Xi Jinping has the same meaning as "falling out of a window" because a Russian official offended Putin.
Since Xi Jinping came to power in 2012, his endless purges have purged millions of CCP officials, from “tigers” at the top of the CCP to “flies” at the lower levels of the bureaucracy, to use Xi Jinping’s infectious terminology. Everyone is in danger.
The difference now is that the officials being purged are not members of rival political factions but loyalists within Xi Jinping's own clique, raising serious questions about the stability of his regime.
In such a restless atmosphere in Beijing, the Chinese capital, people worry that the isolated and suspicious Xi Jinping may make a mistake in judgment, provoke an armed conflict with a weaker neighbor, or even launch an all-out invasion of democratic Taiwan in order to divert the attention of the party and the public. attention to domestic issues.

Enemies of Xi are everywhere
The political earthquake emanating from Zhongnanhai has worsened China's already rapidly declining economy.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in an interview with the media, “We see that China is facing many challenges: an aging society, demographic problems, a serious housing crisis, slowing economic growth, and the number of students leaving university. There are not enough job opportunities for young people in the private sector leading to unemployment.”
China's financiers and business people privately complain that they are required to spend countless hours studying "Xi Jinping Thought," a painfully verbose governing slogan that they say boils down to totalitarian rule without ideology and personal control. The return of worship in China.
In recent weeks, China's investment banks have banned negative macroeconomic or market commentary and banned any behavior that might reveal bankers leading a "hedonistic life."
Soon after Xi Jinping became general secretary of the Communist Party of China in 2012, he began purging his real and imagined enemies in an “anti-corruption campaign” that never really ended.
Hundreds of senior CCP military officers and thousands of senior party officials have been arrested, disappeared, or "suicided" (forced to commit suicide or killed under disguised suicide).
The beneficiaries of this perennial purge campaign are provincial bureaucrats who worked with Xi Jinping in his early years and are "absolutely loyal" to him.

Qin Gang embroiled in scandal involving the Rocket army
According to several people with access to senior CCP officials, the real reason for Qin Gang’s sudden disappearance is that he was involved in a more serious scandal involving the CCP’s defense minister and the generals who commanded the CCP Rocket Force, which is responsible for supervising the CCP's nuclear weapons program.
Almost at the same time as Qin disappeared, Rocket Force Commander Li Yuchao, Deputy Commander Liu Guangbin, and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Joint Staff Department of the CCP Military Commission (former Deputy Commander of the Rocket Force) Zhang Zhenzhong also disappeared.
Several other current and former senior Rocket Force officers were reportedly detained, and at least one former deputy commander died of an unknown illness.
These missing commanders were eventually formally dismissed and replaced by officers from the Navy and Air Force, a very rare occurrence as the Rocket Force's top commanders were almost always promoted from within the force.
China's nuclear weapons program has expanded significantly in recent years, and a message from Russian Deputy Minister Rudenko to Xi included accusations that Qin and relatives of senior Rocket Force officers helped pass on Chinese nuclear secrets to Western intelligence agencies, according to people familiar with senior Chinese officials.
Two of them claimed that Qin died in late July at the Beijing military hospital where China's top leader was treated, either by suicide or torture.
Shortly after the Rocket Force’s purge was officially recognized, Li Shangfu, whom Xi Jinping selected as the CCP’s Minister of Defense in March this year, also disappeared. At the end of October, he was officially announced as dismissed.
Just a day before Qin Gang was officially dismissed as foreign minister in July, a brief report from Chinese state media further fueled the conspiracy. According to reports, Wang Shaojun, commander of the Central Security Bureau, who has been responsible for protecting the top leaders of the Communist Party of China and supervising Xi Jinping's personal guards since 2015, died three months ago due to "ineffective treatment".

Given the opaque nature of the CCP system, the CCP authorities do not comment on the internal operations of the CCP, and the outside world cannot confirm these messages with certainty.
Senior Western intelligence officials declined to comment or discuss the matter when asked about China's purges.
However these sensational claims themselves clearly demonstrate the madness and paranoia at the centre of the Chinese Communist Party’s politics.
This summer, CIA Director Bill Burns said the CIA had "made progress" in rebuilding its network in China and had "strong human intelligence capabilities" in China.

Any Chinese seen too close to "hostile Western forces" is likely to get into trouble
This paranoia at the center of the Chinese Communist Party’s politics has extended to all areas of the Chinese Communist Party’s bureaucracy and economy, and anyone in China who is seen as too Westernized or too close to “hostile Western forces” is likely to get into trouble.
A senior CCP financial official who speaks fluent English and often attends international conferences told foreign media via email that he can no longer attend upcoming events outside China and cannot make phone calls outside China.
Dozens of senior Chinese financial officials have been dismissed from their posts in recent months, many on charges of "corruption."
A colleague of the official said he is currently under investigation for "being too close to the United States" and "possibly a spy."
This seems to be the inevitable fate of any Chinese who is too keen on dealing with foreigners, and should serve as a warning to those who still think that the CCP can do business with the West.
The reporter has contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China for comment, but has not yet received a response.

CCP China's former Foreign Minister Qin Gang suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from public view in June this year, and was even dismissed from office, sparking discussion. There is still no news about Qin Gang but some foreign media broke the news that Xi Jinping was conducting a Stalin-style comprehensive purge. Qin Gang had already died.
According to the U.S. political news website "Politico" today (7 December 2023), Qin Gang mysteriously disappeared after meeting with the foreign ministers of Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko in Beijing in June this year. "According to several contacts, A senior Chinese official revealed that the real purpose of Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Rudenko's visit to Beijing was to inform Xi Jinping: "His foreign minister and several senior PLA officers have been exploited by Western intelligence agencies."
As for the online rumour that Qin Gang cheated on China's Phoenix TV reporter Fu Xiaotian and gave birth to a son who is an American citizen, it may have been widely spread online with the apparent consent of China's Internet censorship agencies in order to cover up the truth.
The report pointed out that Xi Jinping was furious after learning about the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister’s whistle-blower and launched a major purge. Almost at the same time that Qin Gang disappeared, the then-Supreme Commander of the Rocket Force Li Yuchao, his deputy Liu Guangbin, and his former deputy Zhang Zhenzhong also disappeared, as did several other current and former senior officials. Military officers were also detained, and at least one former deputy commander died of an unknown illness. At the same time, China's former Defense Minister Li Shangfu also disappeared, and was finally officially dismissed from the post of Defense Minister at the end of October.
"Politico" also broke the news that two people with contact with senior Chinese officials revealed that Qin Gang, who was purged by Xi Jinping, died as early as the end of July in a military hospital specially designed to treat China's top leaders. The cause of death was suicide or torture.

Qin Gang, who has been removed from the posts of Foreign Minister and State Councilor of the Communist Party of China, is still missing. The latest news is that Russian Deputy Minister Rudenko reported to Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping that Qin Gang provided intelligence to the West and was involved in a more serious scandal. Then Qin Gang disappeared.
Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang met with the foreign ministers of Sri Lanka and Vietnam and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko in Beijing on June 25 this year, and then disappeared from public view. Then the whole world was asking, "Where did Qin Gang go?"
It was not until 25 July 2023 that Qin Gang was officially announced by the Chinese Communist Party to be removed from his post as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and on 24 October he was removed from his post as State Councilor. The CCP official has not announced the reason for Qin Gang's dismissal.
The U.S. media Politico cited several people with access to senior Chinese Communist Party officials who revealed that Rudenko’s real mission in going to Beijing was to inform Xi Jinping that his Foreign Minister Qin Gang had provided intelligence to the West, as well as several senior officials of the Chinese Communist Party’s military have been exploited by Western intelligence agencies.
After Qin Gang disappeared, rumours spread online about his affair with Hong Kong Phoenix TV host Fu Xiaotian. It is said that Qin Gang and Fu Xiaotian have an illegitimate son who is an American citizen. These stories are widely circulated online with the tacit approval of the Chinese Communist Party’s Internet censors.
Starting from the second half of this year, high-level officials in the CCP’s diplomatic and military systems have experienced incidents one after another. In addition to Qin Gang, Li Shangfu was dismissed as State Councilor and Defense Minister, and Li Yuchao and Xu Zhongbo, who were announced internally to be dismissed from their positions as Rocket Force Commander and Political Commissar respectively, were all members of the 20th Central Committee.
Several people with access to senior CCP officials revealed that the real reason for Qin Gang’s sudden disappearance was his involvement in a more serious scandal involving the CCP’s defense minister and the generals who commanded the CCP’s Rocket Force, which oversees the CCP’s Nuclear weapons program.
Almost at the same time that Qin Gang disappeared, Rocket Force Commander Li Yuchao, Deputy Commander Liu Guangbin, and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Joint Staff Department of the CCP Military Commission (former Deputy Commander of the Rocket Force) Zhang Zhenzhong also disappeared.
Several other current and former senior Rocket Force officers were also reportedly detained, and at least one former deputy commander (Wu Guohua) died of an unknown illness.
The report mentioned that these missing commanders were eventually formally dismissed and replaced by officers from the Navy and Air Force. This is a very rare situation because the top commanders of the Rocket Force were almost always promoted from within the Rocket Force.
Since Xi Jinping, the current leader of the CCP, came to power in 2012, he has purged millions of CCP officials in the name of so-called anti-corruption. In the terminology of the CCP officialdom, from the top CCP "tigers" to the low-level bureaucrats "flies", everyone is in danger.
At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China last year, former party leader Hu Jintao was forcibly removed from the venue, which marked the "Tuan Faction" was "annihilated" and Xi Jiajun controlled the core power but over the past year, the CCP officialdom has been in chaos, embarrassing Xi.
The difference today is that the officials being purged are not members of rival political factions but loyalists within Xi's faction, which has led to serious questions about the stability of his regime.
On 27 October 2023, 68-year-old Li Keqiang died suddenly while "resting in Shanghai", that shocked the outside world. Due to the many doubts surrounding the death, the outside world directly pointed the finger at the Xi administration.
The above incidents highlight that Xi is in a crisis of governance, and the struggle for power within the Xi family army has become more intense.
Feng Chongyi, associate professor at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia, previously told The Epoch Times that the Communist Party’s authoritarian regime relies on constant political purges to survive. The current leader of the Communist Party of China is not only very afraid of society, but also afraid of trusting the people around him.
Authoritative sources familiar with Zhongnanhai revealed that the Beijing authorities are trying to shift China's economic responsibilities to Li Keqiang. Li Keqiang's death has put Xi under tremendous pressure, and the incurable condition of China's economy has left him devastated.
Wang He, an expert on China issues, believes that Li Keqiang’s death has become a landmark event, stimulating the reorganization of the CCP’s political forces, the anti-Xi forces are uniting, and the people are awakening. The day of great change in China is not far away.

Xu Chenggang's speech criticized the leader of the Chinese Communist Party and touched on the topic of regime collapse

Recently, Professor Xu Chenggang, a senior researcher at the China Economic Institutions Research Center at Stanford University, gave a speech at National Taiwan University. In his speech, he criticized Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping for returning to a totalitarian system after taking power and making various misjudged decisions. He also talked about the current situation of China's economic problems and his analysis of the collapse of the Chinese Communist regime.
On 4 December 2023, Xu Chenggang delivered a special speech entitled "Institutional Gene: The Origin of Chinese Institutions and Totalitarian Systems" at the National Development and Research Institute of National Taiwan University.

The party leader misjudged the "rising in the east and falling in the west" Scholar: "showing imbecility"
Xu Chenggang said that the characteristics of the totalitarian system of the Communist Party include that the party controls the country and everything in society, and does not allow any organization, group, or property independent of the party to exist; the party-state holds or controls all property in society and can violently deprive all private property; Individuals, including CCP officials, have lost their human rights.
Xu Chenggang mentioned that many people now think that China has private property rights, so it is not a totalitarian system but in a society without the rule of law, property rights provided by law do not mean full control over assets. At present, in the CCP, the party leads everything, the party leads the judiciary, and the judiciary implements the party’s instructions.
Regarding the CCP’s so-called “reform and opening up”, Xu Chenggang believes that reform and opening up will only extend the life of the CCP. Private ownership was created during the reform and opening up, allowing various localities to compete for Taiwanese and foreign investment. However, this has led to the misunderstanding of the outside world that this is not an earth-shaking change in China. This is not the case.
Xu Chenggang believes that the CCP's economic reforms to develop the economy and the class struggle during the Cultural Revolution are both for the same goal, toward communism.
Xu Chenggang said that the totalitarian system with the characteristics of the Chinese Communist Party is "decentralization of power", which refers to the decentralization of administration and resources to local governments but everything such as politics, personnel, and ideology are controlled by the central government. "As long as you control your head, Just be loyal to the central government."
Regarding Xi Jinping's ability to govern in the 10 years since he came to power, Xu Chenggang said that although "local decentralization" is the key to the CCP's totalitarian system, Xi Jinping is increasingly taking power and does not want to rely on local administrative power. He described Xi Jinping's desires as "imbecile performance."
Xu Chenggang said that totalitarianism is full of ills, and decentralization is what made the CCP so powerful. It also made Xi Jinping brag about "rising in the east and falling in the west." He mistakenly believed that the power was strong enough, that it could control everything from top to bottom, and that it could control everything from top to bottom. Control the global situation with “One Belt, One Road”.
Xu Chenggang believes that these are Xi’s wrong judgments. He gave an example of Xi Jinping's use of big data management and dynamic clearing. Many Chinese people said, "Dynamic clearing is a general rehearsal. How to fully control society in the future has been practiced. When necessary, everything can be controlled at once."

Scholar: The CCP cares about political power, not the economy
Xu Chenggang mentioned that the background of the CCP’s reform and opening-up was two major movements. The Great Leap Forward killed 40 million people and the Cultural Revolution killed 100 million people. The legitimacy of the CCP’s rule was shaken and the economy was on the verge of collapse.
He believes that in order to return to totalitarianism, the CCP has strengthened its control over all aspects of society after Xi came to power, and is wary of any factors that may shake the totalitarian system. The growth and development of private enterprises has especially caused the CCP to worry about the collapse of the regime. "Preventing peaceful evolution and color revolutions is more important than economic more important".
"What he cares about is not the economy, but his regime. When he does specific things, he has to judge the overall impact of the regime." Xu Chenggang said.
Xu Chenggang explained that China has adopted a series of measures to suppress private enterprises and the current economic problems are the accumulated consequences of the past. “Seeing that the economy is going to have problems and is facing the risk of financial crisis and fiscal crisis, which is continuing to expand, CCP tried to take some measures to ease it."
The CCP cannot solve economic problems, and the confidence of private enterprises has been completely lost and it is difficult to restore them.
Talking about the local debt problem in mainland China, Xu Chenggang said that the CCP is currently facing a debt problem of 100 trillion RMB.
Xu Chenggang said that the CCP is worried about the financial crisis. "When the entire economy goes down, land prices and real estate prices will drop, and the nature of banks' balance sheets will automatically decline, and banks will go bankrupt."
Recently, the leader of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping, visited Shanghai for an inspection. The authorities introduced a series of economic stimulus plans and continued to show goodwill to private enterprises.
In this regard, Xu Chenggang said that the CCP had previously launched a series of regulatory measures because it was worried that private enterprises were too strong; now no matter how many incentives the government takes, it will be difficult to restore the confidence of private enterprises. Once the confidence of private enterprises is lost, it is difficult to restore it.
Xu Chenggang believes that the CCP is currently trying to prevent real estate companies from going bankrupt, but it cannot stop problems such as falling land and real estate prices.
News (11)
Opportunities for the collapse of the CCP’s totalitarianism
Regarding the issue of passive resistance among officials at all levels of the CCP and the collapse of the CCP system, Xu Chenggang analyzed that the totalitarian system is characterized by "very violent and comprehensive control." It is difficult to judge how far passive resistance can go. Just like North Korea's extreme poverty, it can be maintained by comprehensive violent rule, but the social elite does not have such a consensus; and after 20 years of reform in the Soviet Union, social elites have generally reached a consensus that the system cannot be reformed but must be abandoned, so the collapse of the system will arrive.
Xu Chenggang believes that if China's economy is in a long-term downturn and the social elite changes their consensus, the system may collapse. In addition, if the military is divided, it may also constitute conditions. "One cannot assume that the Communist Party will always be able to rule all the military."

Biden accuses Hamas of "repeatedly raping women and cutting off their body parts" and calls for the release of hostages as soon as possible
Editor : Li Dongqi / Source : NewTalk News / https://www.aboluowang.com/2023/1206/1987132.html
The Palestinian terrorist organization "Hamas" previously carried out inhumane massacres in Israel, sexually assaulting the elderly, weak women and children with extremely cruel methods. U.S. President Joe Biden quoted survivors and witnesses today. It said the Palestinian armed group Hamas repeatedly raped women and cut off their body parts during a raid in southern Israel on October 7. Biden also called on Hamas to release the remaining hostages as soon as possible.
According to Reuters, Biden bluntly stated in a speech at a political fundraiser in Boston that Hamas had committed "unimaginable acts of cruelty" and that relevant reports had surfaced in the past few weeks. He mentioned: "There were reports That women were raped, repeatedly raped, that their bodies were mutilated while they were still alive, and that their bodies were desecrated after they died. Hamas terrorists inflicted terrible torture on women and girls and then killed them. Shocking."
Biden urged international organizations, civil society and individuals to "strongly and unequivocally condemn the sexual violence committed by Hamas terrorists" and called on the world to not turn a blind eye to Hamas' atrocities. In response, Hamas issued a statement on the communication platform Telegram, accusing Biden of "attempting to falsely accuse" Hamas fighters of sexual violence and rape during the October 7 attack. Hamas claims that Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza with the support of the United States, and Biden is now joining Israel to cover up the process and mislead public opinion.
Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on 7 October 2023. According to Israeli statistics, a total of 1,200 people were killed and 240 people were taken hostage. During this period, many women suffered rape, sexual violence and physical mutilation. After the attack on 7 October, the Israeli police arrested hundreds of people and are now investigating the possibility that some of these people may have committed sexual crimes. The Israeli Ministry of Justice has revealed: "The victims were tortured, physically abused, raped, burned alive and dismembered."
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported today that it had seen and heard evidence of these atrocities. Several people who collected and identified the remains of victims of the attack, which included children, teenagers and the elderly, told the BBC they saw multiple signs of sexual assault, including pelvic fractures, bruises, cuts and lacerations.
A surviving woman imitates the movements of Hamas attackers in the video. The woman, who goes by the pseudonym "Witness S," mentions that the attacker picked up a victim and then passed the victim to another attacker. . Witness S recalled: "She was still alive and her back was bleeding." He also described in detail how the men cut off the victim's body parts during the attack. "They cut off her breast and threw it into the street. They were playing with it," she complained.
Israel held an event at the United Nations headquarters in New York yesterday to focus on sexual violence against women during the October 7 attacks. Israel has been heavily criticized for the United Nations' response to the attack. Biden today blamed Hamas for the breakdown of the extended truce agreement between Israel and Hamas, accusing Hamas of "refusing to release the remaining young women" hostages as the main reason for the breakdown in negotiations. A spokesman for the U.S. State Department pointed out on 4 December that Hamas did not release female hostages because they did not want them to talk openly about sexual violence.
Israel and Hamas reached an agreement to suspend fighting at the end of November, during which Israel suspended retaliatory military operations in Gaza and saw Hamas release more than 100 hostages. After the agreement expired on the 1st of this month, the Israeli military has resumed combat operations in the Gaza Corridor. "The hostages still held by Hamas must be reunited with their families immediately. We will not give up," Biden said during the fundraiser.

U.S. President Biden said that if Trump does not plan to return to the White House, he may not run for re-election.
Biden said at a campaign fundraiser in Massachusetts on Tuesday (December 5): "If Trump didn't run, I'm not sure I would run. But for the sake of our country, we can't let him win. "
Biden's attention-grabbing remarks come as even staunch Democratic voters express concerns about Biden's age. Last month, Biden just turned 81, making him the oldest U.S. president in history.
However, Biden's allies and those who interact with him believe that Biden is in good health and point out that he has been exercising in accordance with the recommendations of the White House physician.
Trump, 77, is far ahead among the Republican candidates. Some polls show that if Biden faces Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Biden may lose, partly because voters are worried about Biden's age. Many voters also believe that under Trump's leadership, the U.S. economy may decline. better.

Trump: Newsom could be Democratic presidential nominee
Trump said on Tuesday that if he became president of the United States again, he would not become a dictator. Previously, many Democrats, including President Biden, claimed that if Trump wins the 2024 election, the United States may become a dictatorship.

"No, I won't, except on day one," Trump said. He said he would use the powers of the president to close the southern border with the United States and expand oil drilling on what he called "day one."
"Beyond that, I'm not going to be a dictator," Trump said.
During the show, Trump also said he did not expect Biden to become the Democratic nominee in 2024, citing Biden's physical and mental health.
When asked who he thought would replace Biden as the Democratic nominee next year, Trump said the nomiee might be California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Competition between Haley and DeSantis in the limelight
Reporter : Jin Shi / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/12/07/a103832207.html
In the evening of Wednesday (6 December), the fourth and final Republican presidential primary debate takes place in Alabama. Only four candidates will be eligible to participate in this debate, and the focus undoubtedly falls on former Ambassador to the United Nations Haley and Florida Governor DeSantis, because only these two people still pose possible challenges to Trump.
Haley's recent electoral success has been strong, and she has received endorsements from major Republican donors and Wall Street financial tycoons. Haley’s performance in the first three debates is remarkable, and it is expected that she will have a more intense confrontation with DeSantis in the fourth debate.
Republican candidate Haley, former ambassador to the United Nations: "First of all, I was a governor, I know what bureaucracy is, and I know how to clear it."
DeSantis’ recent performance has been lacklustre. He once touted himself as the only one who could rival Trump, but now has to compete with Haley for the No. 2 spot in the party.
Judging from the polls, DeSantis has a slight lead over Haley overall, but in the two key early primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina, Haley has overtaken DeSantis and won the first primary election. In Iowa, the two are tied.
Trump will once again skip the fourth primary debate and hold a separate campaign event that night.

Two doctors from Mainland China reveal that sudden deaths are increasing due to the domestic epidemic
Reporters : Xiong Bin, Huang Yuning / https://www.aboluowang.com/2023/1206/1987213.html
Recently, two mainland doctors revealed that the covid virus (covi, CCP virus) has caused another major outbreak, with extremely high infection and morbidity rates. Medical staff have been infected, and many middle-aged and elderly people have died suddenly. However, the hospital has renamed it as another disease, and people suspect that the official government is concealing the epidemic.
Dr. Yang, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner from Shandong, told NTDTV on 5 December 2023 that traditional Chinese medicine rarely treats infectious diseases, but in the past ten days, he has treated one to two hundred fever patients, most of whom were pneumonia patients for whom Western medicine was helpless. According to his understanding, the current proportion of white lung patients is 3% in the north and more in the south, possibly reaching 10%. The peak of infection is expected around the New Year.
Doctor Yang, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in Shandong: "The infection rate and morbidity rate in this wave are extremely high. Children have more high fevers, which last for a long time. They only turn to our traditional Chinese medicine doctors for help if they cannot be cured. Almost all of them are pneumonia, and then combined with bacteria infection. No mycoplasma was found. It should be the covi. Many middle-aged and elderly people died, and the virus caused sudden death from myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction."
A Guizhou doctor who goes by the pseudonym Li Ming said that the government's three-year lockdown and mandatory COVID-19 vaccination were wrong and would instead aggravate the epidemic.
Guizhou doctor Li Ming (pseudonym): "We have all been infected. We were all infected a few days ago. Our hospitals have now canceled COVID-19 testing and will not perform nucleic acid tests. This epidemic was classified as coronavirus infection, and now it is classified as mycoplasma infection but mycoplasma infection also includes covid. Covid was a failure for three years, and the government’s three-year lockdown was inappropriate. The economy retreated, but it actually had no effect.”
Ms. Ren, a resident of Mudanjiang, said that many people in her family were infected, local hospitals were overcrowded, schools were not closed, and children went to school sick. There have been deaths, but authorities have kept the news under wraps.
Ms. Ren, a resident of Mudanjiang: "Both children have it. There are 40 to 50 students in a class, and most of the children have it. In the past two days, many of our colleagues have been admitted to the hospital. The patients in the hospital are much older, and the hospital is full." , they said it was influenza A, but I suspect it was the (covid) virus again. Many people died last year. Deaths are not reported. We had a little girl die some time ago."
Mr. Tian, a citizen of Jilin, said that the current epidemic in big cities is very serious, but the CCP lied about other diseases and tried to cover up the CCP virus epidemic.
Mr. Tian, a citizen of Jilin: "It is probably a mutation of the covid virus, and many of the symptoms are the same as covid. This party is very evil. They are doing whatever they want to deceive the people."

Sudden deaths are increasing due to the domestic epidemic
Reporter : Wang Yanqiao / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/12/07/a103832237.html
The CCP virus epidemic has swept across China. Doctors have revealed that the infection rate is extremely high and many people have died suddenly. The Ministry of Education of the Communist Party of China issued a notice to promote infection prevention and control knowledge, confirming that the epidemic is out of control.
Recently, the epidemic situation has continued to intensify across China, and hospitals are overcrowded. Some people revealed that the current epidemic in big cities is very serious, and there are even deaths. However, the CCP conceals it and tries to cover up the epidemic.
Ms. Ren, a resident of Mudanjiang: "Both children have it. There are 40 to 50 students in a class, and most of the children have it. In the past two days, many of our colleagues have been admitted to the hospital. The patients in the hospital are much older, and the hospital is full." , they said it was influenza A, but I suspect it was the (covid) virus again. Many people died last year. Deaths are not reported. We had a little girl die some time ago."
Many places in China have restarted the "Health Code". Many hospitals in Beijing require children to undergo nucleic acid tests first and triage the patients.
In addition, photos posted online show that on 6 December 2023 China Textile Industry Conference was held in Beijing, requiring attendees to provide a "covi-negative" test to attend the meeting.
Mr. Tian, a citizen of Jilin: "It is probably a mutation of covi, and many of the symptoms are the same covid. This party is very evil. They are doing whatever they want to deceive the people."
At the same time, the Ministry of Education of the Communist Party of China recently issued the "Notice on Preventing and Controlling Epidemic Diseases in Winter Schools", in which the requirement to prevent and control covid is the most concerning.

The covi has made a comeback. Will Zhong Nanshan lie again?
Reporter : Tang Rui / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/12/07/a103832219.html
The epidemic situation in China is severe, and the number of infections and deaths has increased sharply. The CCP can no longer cover it up. Not only has the health code been put back online recently, but various places have also begun to restart nucleic acid testing. People say that the covi is back again.
Since November, due to the rapid increase in the number of infections, hospitals across China have been crowded with people in the registration areas, waiting areas, and infusion areas. Thousands of people line up to register at Beijing Children's Hospital every day.
Beijing Citizen: "The overcrowded place is not other places, it is Beijing Children's Hospital on November 25. How many people are there at this triage table?" "At 3:30 in the afternoon, the call for peripheral blood collection is 2044."
After the Chinese Communist Party authorities used "mycoplasma pneumonia" as a "fig leaf" for three months, they finally took practical actions to prove that this wave of epidemic is still covid.
Chinese person: "Why have so many people fallen ill recently? Is the covi mutant strain coming back? It has indeed mutated."
On 6 December 2023, online information showed that many children’s hospitals in Beijing required children with fever who came for medical treatment to undergo nucleic acid testing and to triage the patients.
On the same day, the "China Textile and Apparel Industry Federation Science and Technology Award Conference" held in the small auditorium of the Beijing City Hall required participants to take nucleic acid tests one day in advance. The picture shows that a participant's nucleic acid certificate says "nucleic acid test has been done", and the certificate is exchanged for an admission invitation.
Previously, some people confirmed that covi nucleic acid testing has also been launched at Shanghai Airport and public places in Guangzhou.
Xie Tian, a professor at the Aiken School of Business at the University of South Carolina in the United States: "In fact, the disease that is spreading among Chinese children is actually another form of the Wuhan plague. And the CCP In fact, what we are doing now is exactly the same as when Wuhan was locked down and tried its best to cover up and deceive. In fact, it is actually repeating the same mistakes. In other words, the CCP does not consider the safety and lives of the Chinese people and the people of the world at all. Security is one thing but it is just about maintaining stability, protecting its own political power, and covering up deception. This has never changed."
Following the rise of covid, there is Zhong Nanshan, the CCP’s “Queen” epidemic prevention expert. While he took the opportunity to re-launch Lianhua Qingwen, he continued to conceal the truth about the epidemic for the CCP. On 4 December 2023, Zhong Nanshan once again denied the emergence of a new infectious virus in China at a press conference on the establishment of the "Pandemic Research Alliance" in Hong Kong.
Li Muyang, a self-media person: "A friend close to the top leaders of the CCP told me that the top leaders of the CCP do not really believe in Zhong Nanshan's medical skills and ethics. In the eyes of the top CCP leaders, Zhong Nanshan is nothing more than a charlatan. The leader of the CCP, Xi Jinping, does not really praise him either because the CCP needs such a person to deceive and fool the people."
On 5 December 2023, the big V on Weibo "Muyuan Xiaobo" posted that "more and more people are sick and dead" around us, and many children are sick and have fevers repeatedly because the covi "will greatly weaken our immunity and may "Involving comprehensive and lasting damage to an individual's immune system after being infected with covi" "When a specific pathogen becomes prevalent, it will lead to an outbreak."
Currently, cases of respiratory diseases and unknown pneumonia in many countries in Europe, the United States, and Asia are showing a rapid upward trend. Many countries are worried about a repeat of the tragedy three years ago and are actively taking measures to deal with it. However, at this time, the Chinese Communist Party once again opened its doors to the country and unilaterally implemented a visa-free policy for countries such as France and the Netherlands.
Xie Tian: "Now it has begun to open this visa-free policy again, allowing people from these European countries to travel to China and get sick, so this CCP is very, very evil. So I am very concerned about the next wave of this virus and the development of this plague. Yes, I am indeed very worried. I think this is indeed the second wave of the plague. It may be more serious than the first wave, so the situation below is very dangerous."

Epidemic, mobile phones, teacher shortage, global youth’s mathematical ability plummets
Reporter : Yi Jing / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/12/07/a103832206.html
The Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released a latest survey on Tuesday (5 December 2023), showing that the math and reading abilities of teenagers around the world are generally declining.
The OECD conducted a proficiency test on nearly 700,000 teenagers from 82 countries around the world in mathematics, reading and science. This is a survey conducted by the organization since 2000.
The assessment results show that the overall performance of teenagers has experienced an unprecedented decline, with the decline in mathematics ability being particularly obvious.
Matthias Koeman, Secretary-General of the OECD: "Compared with 2018, reading scores have dropped by an average of 10 points (in 2022) and math scores have dropped by almost 15 points."
Experts believe that the decline in student performance cannot be entirely attributed to school closures during the epidemic, because the problem was already apparent before the outbreak.
In addition, excessive use of digital devices such as mobile phones at school or at home is also one of the factors leading to the decline of students' performance.
Andreas Schleicher, director of education at the OECD: “A high proportion of young people feel anxious and are distracted by digital devices in class.”
In addition, the shortage of teachers and the reduced attention of parents to their children's learning are also reasons for the decline in students' learning levels.
The findings showed that Singaporean students scored highest in math, reading and science. Macau, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea also perform well in mathematics and natural sciences. In reading, Ireland, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan received the highest scores.

Former US House Speaker McCarthy announces he will leave Congress at the end of the month
Editor: Lu Yongxin / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/12/07/a103832232.html
Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy announced on the 6th that he will resign as a member and leave Congress at the end of the month. The 58-year-old McCarthy was voted out of office by Republican lawmakers in October. He is also the speaker of Congress with the third shortest tenure. McCarthy's departure is another blow to the Republican Party.
"Regardless of the odds or the personal cost, we did the right thing," McCarthy wrote in The Wall Street Journal.
"It is in this spirit that I have decided to leave the House at the end of the year to serve America in a new way. I know my work has only just begun," he wrote.
Speaker McCarthy had a bumpy road. In January this year, he went through 15 rounds of voting over four days before he became the speaker of the House of Representatives, marking the longest delay in the speaker election in 164 years. In October this year, he was ousted from office due to dissatisfaction within the party over his cooperation with Democrats. This was the first time in the 234-year history of the U.S. House of Representatives that a speaker had been ousted.

The CCP’s influence is shrinking again, Italy officially withdraws from the “One Belt, One Road”
Reporter : Chen Qian / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/12/07/a103832208.html
Italian officials stated on Wednesday (6 December 2023) that Italy has officially withdrawn from the CCP’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative. Analysts believe that this will bring a serious political blow to the CCP.
In 2019, Italy ignored U.S. warnings and became the first and only major Western country to join the Belt and Road Initiative.
When the Italian government signed the "Belt and Road" memorandum, it did not go through Congressional discussion. In subsequent practice, Italy discovered that the "Belt and Road" was not reciprocal, but more like an agreement that benefited the CCP in one direction. Chinese companies can easily do business in Italy, but Italian companies are not guaranteed to do business in China.
In addition, this “Belt and Road” agreement is extensive and also includes media exchanges and cooperation between the two countries. Propaganda content from the Chinese Communist Party’s official media began to appear in Italian newspapers and television, but there was little content provided by Italian media in Chinese media. In addition, the human rights situation in China is worrying, and it is difficult for Italian journalists to work in China, especially in Xinjiang and Tibet.
Before taking office last year, Italian Prime Minister Meloni said that the previous government's decision to join the Belt and Road Initiative was a "serious mistake." In July this year, Italian Defense Minister Crosetto said in an interview with the media that joining the “Belt and Road” project was an “extremely bad” decision.
Current affairs commentator Tang Jingyuan: "The essence of the 'Belt and Road' is actually a huge basic strategic plan for the Chinese Communist Party to control the world. Italy's rejection of this plan also marks the entire international camp of freedom and democracy. There has been a very clear understanding of the nature of "One Road", and it also marks that the pattern of the international community being divided into two major camps for confrontation is becoming more and more formed and mature."
Analysis points out that Italy’s withdrawal from the “Belt and Road” at this time will have a much greater political impact on the CCP than economic impact, and may serve as a model for other countries.
Current affairs commentator Tang Jingyuan: "It actually has a symbolic meaning. Because Italy is the only one among the seven major industrial countries to join the CCP's 'Belt and Road' plan. Now that Italy has officially withdrawn, it In fact, it means that the CCP’s ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative has been completely insulated from this group of developed countries around the world, and all developed countries have closed their doors to the CCP’s ‘One Belt, One Road’ plan.”
Tang Hao: "The 'One Belt, One Road' has caused Italy to lose economic benefits, and it has also been infiltrated and bought by the CCP for political influence. It has also caused small countries such as Sri Lanka to fall into a debt trap and lose their sovereignty and ports. In other words, the 'One Belt, One Road' The international community has seen through that this is an unrestricted economic war in which the CCP uses money to plunder sovereignty. Therefore, countries including Italy and Australia have terminated cooperation or directly withdrawn from the group. In a simple word, get close to the CCP and break your family, stay away from the Chinese Communist Party and enjoy peace and prosperity."
