Weird phenomena occur frequently in the Chinese Communist Party’s officialdom, highlighting the extremely fierce internal fighting among the top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party. News broke that Qin Gang, the former foreign minister of the Chinese Communist Party, may have died of suicide or torture in July. The authenticity of this news immediately aroused heated discussion and suspicion from all parties. Some people say that whether this news is true or not, they have to wait for the Chinese Communist Party officials to come forward as soon as possible to refute the rumors.
On 25 June 2023, Qin Gang, then Foreign Minister of the Communist Party of China, met with the Foreign Ministers of Sri Lanka and Vietnam and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko in Beijing. Afterwards, Qin Gang disappeared.
On 6 December 2023, Politico, a well-known American media outlet, cited several people with access to senior CCP officials who revealed that Rudenko’s real mission in going to Beijing was to inform Xi Jinping that his Foreign Minister Qin Gang was providing intelligence to the West and that the CCP military Several senior officials have compromised with Western intelligence agencies.
Almost at the same time that Qin Gang disappeared, the CCP Rocket Force Commander Li Yuchao, Deputy Commander Liu Guangbin, and former Rocket Force Deputy Commander Zhang Zhenzhong also disappeared. Li Shangfu, Minister of National Defense of the Communist Party of China, was also dismissed from his post at the end of October.
The report quoted two sources as saying that Qin Gang died at the end of July in the Beijing military hospital where the top leader of the Communist Party of China was treated, either by suicide or due to torture.
After this news was reported, it immediately aroused widespread public attention and suspicion.
Cai Shenkun, a senior Chinese media person living in the United States, posted on the overseas social media platform that many details also highlight the cruelty and bloodshed of Chinese politics in the past decade.
Cai Shenkun said that he did not know how the spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the publicly reported content of this article, especially the theory that Qin Gang died of torture. Previously, the only explanation given by the spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was that Qin Gang had “health” problems. If this media is spreading rumour, the best way for the Chinese Communist Party officials is to ask Qin Gang to come out despite his illness to report that he is safe. After all, he is still a very rare new member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Media person Chen Xiaoping said that among the many legendary explanations for Qin Gang's disappearance, Beijing's official "health factors" were one of them. Now there are more formal media reports that Qin is dead. What will be the result? 1. This media was criticized by Beijing as a rumor media; 2. Beijing asked Qin to come out even though he was sick to report that he was safe. If he remains silent, the spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs should immediately prepare how to respond to the series of bombardments at the press conference on 8 December.
Bill Bishop, an expert on China issues, said that the article did not have the author's signature. Some of the sensational revelations sounded true, and some of them had been circulating for some time, but some suspicions were justified.
"Cherry Lee" said that from the content point of view, many details are similar to previous rumors but Politico is a serious media and its credibility is indeed much higher. This may turn towards domestic sales.
"Robert Johnson" said that Politico is very rigorous and has very close relations with the intelligence community, military community, and political circles. It is difficult to imagine that it would spread rumors out of thin air. At least the Russians tipped off the spy network to reveal this spy network, which is so embarrassing for Xi Jinping. Why? What about the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee? These Central Committee members and such important ministers are all spies. How do you explain this? So there is a reason why Xi repeatedly calls safety important.
Kevin Carrico, a sinologist at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, said that Qin Gang's disappearance was so sudden and strange. "I haven't seen any reasonable explanation yet. It seems to me to connect many of the events that happened in July. But we may never know 100% the truth."
"Frank H Young" said that it is very simple for the Communist Party to refute the rumors. It can just let Qin Gang come out for a spin. As long as he is still alive, he can be taken back and imprisoned. Otherwise, he will definitely be dead, no doubt.
"Ignatius Lee" questioned that after Politico broke the rumor that Qin Gang might be dead, most of the international media did not rush to follow up the report as soon as possible, and almost waited for nearly 20 hours before starting to follow up. In general, after the rumour of Qin Gang's death was reported, the report deliberately avoids stating it directly in the title, but mentions it in relevant lines under other titles, or even does not mention it at all when it comes to related reports... This situation shows that the international media are generally cautious. (Because "sources" from the Chinese Communist Party government have repeatedly fed international media with false "violent information").
"Ignatius Lee" believes that the Chinese Communist government has a history of deliberately "leaking secrets" and deliberately creating rumors, and is a habitual offender. The insiders who "leaked secrets" to Politico were probably arranged by the Chinese Communist government, and may not be the result of factional struggle; since " "Leaking secrets" is a serious crime. Should the officials who leaked the "death" of Qin Gang undergo another purge? After all, if anyone did know, there would not be many.
Sheng Xue, a Chinese-Canadian writer, said that this is not a matter of Qin Gang's personal life or death. It is the overall style and operating characteristics of the CCP's entire structure facing the world. The international community must know this. Since Xi Jinping came to power, he has been purging... As a result, no one dares to tell him the truth, which will cause him to have a huge misjudgment of the entire external world and the governing environment. This will accelerate the collapse of the CCP's entire authoritarian tyranny system, fall apart and disintegrate.
Gorden Chang, a China expert and author of "The Collapse of China," said the CCP is in crisis, partly because the entire country is about to collapse.
Qin Gang was officially announced by the Chinese Communist Party to be removed from his post as Minister of Foreign Affairs on 25 2023, and was removed from his post as State Councilor on 24 October. The CCP official has not announced the reason for Qin Gang's dismissal.
In fact, this is not the first time news of Qin Gang's death has spread. In September this year, insiders said they had reliable information: One was that in July provincial and ministerial officials had internally reported the decision to give Qin Gang a demerit record and administrative sanctions within the party; the other was that Qin Gang had committed suicide at home at the age of 57.
Political commentator Yang Ning wrote in September this year that since Qin Gang's rapid promotion is directly related to Xi Jinping, dealing with Qin Gang is tantamount to a slap in the face. Therefore, Xi must have concrete evidence and believe that he is indeed a threat to his own security before he can deal with it. Qin Gang. In short, Qin Gang's fate is ultimately decided by the highest level.

"Dabai" reappears on Chinese campuses, Chinese doctor mentions Children's symptoms with the disease
Reporter : Lin Peiyun / Editor: Chen Zhen / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/12/08/a103832521.html
The epidemic broke out in China, and schools have become high-incidence areas for cluster infections. The Ministry of Education of the Communist Party of China recently issued a notice requiring schools in various places to prepare for the epidemic. It also mentioned that the covi is constantly mutating. Videos posted online show that "Dabai" has re-entered schools in many places to carry out disinfection operations.
In addition, Li Wen, a pediatrician in Shanghai, said that some children have pneumonia even if they do not have obvious symptoms such as cough. He said that this is different from the common understanding that fever, coughing, and wheezing can cause pneumonia. The condition often progresses very quickly. "Maybe if you take a X-ray today, it will be fine, but if you take a X-ray two days later, it will be pneumonia."
On 4 December 2023, the General Office of the Ministry of Education of the Communist Party of China issued the "Notice on Preventing and Controlling Epidemic Diseases in Schools in Winter", stating that the global covid epidemic is still prevalent, and the covid virus is still mutating, and we may face a variety of respiratory diseases this winter and next spring. The situation of superimposed epidemics of diseases brings great challenges to schools in preventing and controlling winter epidemic diseases.
The notice requires schools to attach great importance to the prevention of multiple diseases and prioritize covi infection. It also requires schools to strengthen monitoring and early warning intervention and prepare epidemic prevention material reserves.
The notice also pointed out that local education administrative departments should consult with the health and disease control departments regarding the incidence of respiratory infectious diseases in local schools to strengthen information exchange and guide schools to respond to the epidemic.
Mr. Chang, a primary school teacher in Mainland China, told NTDTV that the notice issued by the Ministry of Education of the Communist Party of China shows that the authorities are no longer concerned about the so-called respiratory diseases being promoted. "It should be a little worried. I would like to remind you that it is not mandatory. It is very general. It is down below and I am still waiting and watching."
Videos posted online show that recently, "Dabai" wearing protective clothing has reappeared in many schools to carry out disinfection work on campus.

"Dabai" reappear in campus sterilization. Doctor: Cases of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction are becoming younger
Reporters : Wang Yanqiao, Xiong Bin / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/12/08/a103832555.html
As the epidemic in China intensifies, "Dabai" wearing protective clothing appears in many schools for disinfection. In addition, some doctors revealed that patients with myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction tend to get younger.
Recently, many people have revealed that "health codes" and "nucleic acid" tests have been restarted in many places. A video posted online shows "Dabai" wearing a protective suit reappearing on campus to carry out disinfection work.
Senior current affairs commentator Tang Jingyuan: "It shows that this new wave of epidemic in mainland China is very likely to be in a very serious, large-scale outbreak, and is about to get out of control. It is precisely because of this epidemic that it actually was so serious that the CCP had to reinstate some of the methods used during the original lockdown."
Many people have revealed that not only are there many infections in schools and kindergartens, but also many middle-aged and elderly people have died from the infection.
Dr. Yang from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Shandong: "We are traditional Chinese medicine doctors. Traditional Chinese medicine doctors rarely treat infectious diseases in normal times but now we see a lot of them. Of the 27 children in my son's kindergarten, more than 16 have fever at home and are out of school. In Northern Middle School a lot of elderly people die.”
Doctors have also observed that myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction tend to occur at younger ages.
Ms. Li, a retired doctor from Liaoning: "I feel that whether it is myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction, the proportion of young people around me has increased and they are getting younger. It seems that when I hear, "Oh, he left at such a young age, what's wrong with him?" Myocardial infarction, there are many such things."
On 4 December, the Chinese Communist Party’s Health Commission and the Ministry of Education issued notices at the same time, “requiring efforts to prevent and control winter epidemic diseases,” both emphasizing “responding to the CCP virus infection” and “prevention and control measures.” The outside world is worried about whether the Chinese Communist authorities will lock down the city again.
Tang Jingyuan: "This notice has the same core goal. In fact, it is equivalent to an emergency mobilization, which is to announce that China's medical system and the main infected groups are currently teenagers and children. .”
Experts believe that the Chinese Communist Party’s official irresponsibility may lead to another major outbreak of the epidemic.
Tang Jingyuan: "Then the cause of the disease is not clear, and we have not seen any credible data on the scale of the entire epidemic, so it may bring about a huge epidemic.The danger. that is to say, the CCP may cause another wave of epidemics due to its irresponsibility, and it is possible that it may even trigger a global pandemic."

Covid outbreak again, "Bat woman" prophecy comes true
Reporters : Tang Rui, Luo Ya, Chen Zhen / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/12/08/a103832508.html
The epidemic in China is currently raging. The Chinese Communist Party authorities are covering up and admitting the covid outbreak in disguise. This has once again paid attention to the "bat woman" Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Viology "prophecy" come true".
People in Beijing: “The infusion hall of this hospital is basically full, with almost no vacancies.”
Starting in August, a new wave of epidemic spread rapidly from children, and hospitals everywhere were overcrowded.
In the early days of the epidemic, Chinese Communist Party officials used names such as "Influenza A" and "Mycoplasma Pneumonia" to cover up the epidemic.
Ding Liang, a Chinese virus expert in the United States, published an article on the X platform and disclosed that many Chinese colleagues reported to him that the authorities told doctors not to test patients and not to report any data or results.
Until recently, without public confirmation, various regions have successively introduced new coronavirus prevention and control measures, indirectly acknowledging the new coronavirus epidemic.
International affairs commentator Tang Hao: "If the epidemic is really not serious, is it necessary to call the Dabai people back to do nucleic acid testing? Therefore, all the recent measures taken by the CCP are contrary to what they say and are very abnormal."
The covid outbreak broke out again, and it started in China again, causing many people to associate it with Shi Zhengli again.
As early as July 2023, shortly before the outbreak, Shi Zhengli published a paper in the English journal Emerging Microbes Infections, stating that the coronavirus was very likely to reappear.
It is worth mentioning that this paper did not attract attention at first. Instead, the pro-communist Hong Kong media "South China Morning Post" first reported it in September 2023.
Jiang Feng, a well-known self-media person: "So is this round of epidemic the 'very likely' new round of epidemic that Shi Zhengli predicted? How did she foresee it?"
Shi Zhengli is a researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and her team has been conducting research on bat coronaviruses. When the last global pandemic broke out, the outside world suspected that the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
As of now, the CCP has not officially acknowledged to the world that the covid outbreak has occurred again.
Current affairs commentator Wang He: "Three years after the epidemic, the CCP has strictly controlled the release of epidemic-related data. So far, it is difficult for the West to obtain China-related data. The CCP's current attitude towards controlling the epidemic, if this does not change, it will be a huge disaster for China and the world."

China is caught in an epidemic tsunami, but Zhongnanhai releases a strange signal. It is reported that the leader of the Communist Party of China ordered to downplay the propaganda of the epidemic, but the ferocious epidemic has left various places at a loss. A video showed that nucleic acid huts on the streets of Beijing were installed and dismantled within a week, and people questioned the authorities' cover-up of the epidemic. At the same time, meetings in the Beijing City Hall required nucleic acid negative certificates, and door-to-door nucleic acid expedited services were once again on the rise.

Weird? The Beijing nucleic acid hut was dismantled just after it was installed
A delivery boy in Beijing posted a video on November 26 saying that he discovered a strange thing. The nucleic acid hut on the streets of Beijing was dismantled just after it was installed. He asked doubtfully, has the policy trend changed again? People don't understand.
"I came here last week and saw the nucleic acid hut. It was at this location and it was gone." The delivery boy posted a comparison picture in the video and said, "Look, this marker is correct. .”
He said: "When I came last week, it wasn't here yet. Then when I came last week, it was installed again. Today, it's gone again. Today is Sunday, November 26, 2023 day."
"It's so strange. What's going on with this operation? Within a week, the policy changed again?" He felt very confused.
The delivery boy asked in the video: "Collect one share of money, load one share of money, and boost GDP. As ordinary people, we can't understand this operation. What kind of operation is this?"
He also said that last week he made the video "Nucleic acid hut, making a comeback". Some netizens in the comment area speculated that the nucleic acid hut might be used by traffic police and cooperative police. He responded that the Tiangongyuan area of Daxing District, where the nucleic acid hut is located, rarely sees traffic police throughout the year, so it is unlikely to be used for this purpose.
"It was just installed and then dismantled, and it was kept for less than a week. What kind of operation is this? Oh, we ordinary people really can't imagine it. The boss just said a word, and the people below installed and dismantled it. Okay It’s strange, I can’t understand it.” The delivery boy went home full of doubts.

Chinese Communist Party leader orders downplay of epidemic
The strange operation of installing and dismantling the nucleic acid hut in Beijing within a week is believed to be related to the CCP's attempt to cover up the epidemic. In recent months, the epidemic in China has escalated rapidly, and hospitals in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places are once again overcrowded. On 10 November 2023, Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Communist Party of China, publicly stated at a meeting in Guangzhou that starting from November 2023 to January 2024, the covid epidemic will peak.
On 24 November, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council of the Communist Party of China issued a notice stating that there is still a risk of a rebound in the covid epidemic in winter. This winter and next spring, China may face a superimposed epidemic situation of multiple respiratory diseases such as covid, influenza, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
After that, officials deliberately downplayed the epidemic and stopped mentioning covid, claiming it was common diseases such as mycoplasma and influenza. Many hospitals test patients for pathogens but there is no such thing as COVID-19. Sources revealed that it was the leader of the Chinese Communist Party who ordered the cover-up of the epidemic.
On 26 November, Yang Qing (pseudonym), a Beijing source close to the General Office of the CCP Central Committee and the military, revealed to The Epoch Times that CCP leader Xi Jinping ordered that it is forbidden to exaggerate the epidemic in China. If you say it is a common flu or something else, don’t call it covid. Foreign media are not allowed to cover the topic of COVID-19, lest foreigners stop coming to China.
However, with the rapid spread of the epidemic in China, the number of infected people has become larger and larger, the number of severely ill patients has increased, and a large number of deaths have occurred. The authorities have been forced to deal with the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in a low-key manner. Recently, important meetings held in Beijing and Guangzhou have required nucleic acid tests, and airports in Shanghai, Beijing and other places have also begun to conduct nucleic acid tests.

Prior to this, the "Understanding China" international conference opened in Guangzhou on 1 December. A guest at the meeting revealed that the first thing to do when attending the meeting was to "test nucleic acid."
In addition to Beijing and Guangzhou, Shanghai has also begun to conduct nucleic acid testing. On 1 December, He Xiaopeng, chairman of Xpeng Motors, posted on Weibo that he returned from overseas via Shanghai and was asked for a nucleic acid test as soon as he got off the plane. The official response was that it was a random check but everyone was tested. The tweet has now been deleted.

U.S. hearing: Evidence of the CCP’s “long arm” transnational suppression of the world
Reporters : Zhao Fenghua and Yu Wei / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2023/12/08/a103832544.html
The "Foreign Relations Committee" of the U.S. Senate recently held a hearing to focus on the "transnational repression" implemented by the Chinese Communist Party around the world to see the details.
The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a hearing on Wednesday on the theme of "Transnational Repression: Authoritarians Targeting Dissenters Abroad." Committee Chairman Senator Ben Cardin bluntly stated at the meeting , the Chinese Communist Party has implemented the most sophisticated transnational repression.
U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Ben Cardin: "One of the most sophisticated transnational repressions in the world comes from the Chinese Communist Party. Beijing targets all (dissidents) and their families, trying to obtain their tax records, install cameras in their homes, Track them and (illegally) detain their relatives in China."
Experts attending the hearing pointed out that the CCP collects DNA on a large scale and builds a "transnational repressive tool library" to achieve tracking targets, human rights violations and surveillance.
In April 2023, the international human rights organization "Freedom House" released a report stating that the CCP is the number one transnational criminal, and 30% of transnational repression cases come from China.
In April this year, the FBI arrested two Chinese New York residents—Lu Jianwang, chairman of the American Fujian Association, and Chen Jinping, secretary-general of the American Changle Association—and accused them of acting as agents of the CCP He runs the CCP’s overseas 110 police stations and assists the CCP in carrying out transnational suppression.
According to a report by the non-profit organization Safeguard Defenders, the CCP has more than 100 police stations in 110 overseas locations around the world.
Ben Cardin: “It’s not just the direct victims of these regime agents who are oppressed, by going after one or two critics they send a message to the entire exile community: you are not safe anywhere, even in a democracy the country is not safe. Even if you have political asylum, you are not safe."
Caoifhionn Gallagher, Queen's Counsel of the British law firm Doughty Street, also testified at the scene, pointing out that under the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law, the current situation of Hong Kong people's freedom and human rights is very dangerous.
British barrister Kalfin Gallagher: "Of course, Hong Kong's national security law is very vague and broad, which is very dangerous. Almost any behaviour may be considered a threat to national security."
Ben Cardin: "In the coming days, I will introduce the International Freedom Protection Act. This will address the increasing use of transnational repression by authoritarian and illiberal states."
In March 2023, members of both parties in the Federal Senate jointly proposed the Transnational Repression Policy Act, which aims to crack down on the "long-arm" transnational suppression of citizens by foreign governments, including the Chinese Communist Party, in the United States. Hold foreign governments accountable for their actions.
