14 students were brutally murdered in Ningling County, Shangqiu, Hebei Province, triggering protests by tens of thousands of people. The CCP violently suppressed and forcibly labeled "suicide". It is reported on the Internet that all the family members of the deceased have been controlled, and "2.8 million compensation" is false news distributed by the school.
On 2 January 2024, news spread online that the family of the deceased "took 2.8 million yuan (RMB) and stopped talking." Some people accused the family members of being too weak. Others believe that the 2.8 million may be just a verbal promise, and the Yang family may not be able to get it in the end.
However, news came out the next day that a local villager with knowledge of the matter broke the news during a live broadcast that the Yang family had not actually received a penny. The so-called "2.8 million" was false news deliberately distributed by the school involved in order to discredit the family and suppress the incident. The heat has actually brought the entire Yang family under control but the family has not compromised yet.

Chinese Communist officials arrest anyone who dares to speak out
Netizens said that the CCP officials are now frantically blocking public opinion and arresting anyone who dares to speak out.
The news sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some people said, "(The CCP) really has no bottom line. I thought it had hit the bottom before." Some people say that what the CCP is best at is "not solving problems, but only solving the people who raised them." Others lamented, "(The CCP) spends far more than 2.8 million yuan on various stability maintenance tasks, so it won't be given to you, that's it." Willful..." "Losing money does not count as Maple Bridge experience."

In fact, the Yang family has not made a public statement for many days. News that family members were being controlled had previously spread on the Internet, including the fact that the deceased's brother, a soldier, came home after hearing the news and was rounded up by multiple police officers as soon as he arrived at the airport.

Chinese Communist officials are shameful and cruel
In addition, it was reported on the Internet that the Yuhuayuan School involved in the incident started school on 2 January 2024. The school sent a large number of buses to pick up students at their homes. If some students did not want to go, village cadres came to force the students to go. Netizens denounced the CCP as shameful and cruel.

On 24 December 2023, Yang’s family began to defend their rights. They complained that they received a call from the school saying "the child was sick" in the morning and did not see the child's body in the morgue until 3 pm. The family members posted photos of the body online, which showed multiple bruises all over the body, multiple holes on the hands that appeared to be poked by screwdrivers, and broken ankles with exposed bones.

The cause of the Shangqiu protests, the student who died tried to expose adultery of teachers
There are multiple revelations that appear to come from within the school. These revelations all point to the fact that the child was tortured and killed in the dormitory late at night on 23 December 2023, wailing for a long time. Students in the same dormitory were not allowed to return to the dormitory and were forced to spend the night in the classroom. Later, the school opened the originally closed door upstairs of the dormitory and threw the child downstairs, creating the illusion of "suicide by jumping off the building."
There is news that the school teacher beat the student to death. Others said that the teacher instigated the high school students to beat the junior high school students, and more than one person was beaten that night. There is also news that the student surnamed Yang who was killed was murdered because he broke up the adultery of two teachers.

The Israeli embassy questioned the CCP’s “support of terrorism” and Weibo dared not delete it

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) semi-openly supports Hamas, which launches terrorist attacks on Israel, angering Israel, which has always been "friendly" with Beijing. The official Weibo of the Israeli Embassy publicly questioned the CCP’s “support of terrorism”. Weibo did not dare to delete the article, so it had to use other methods to “boycott” it.
In the morning of 3 January 2024, Beijing time, the official Weibo of the Israeli Embassy in China shared a screenshot of a tweet from the official Twitter (X Platform) account of the Spokesperson’s Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China on 27 December 2023, and quoted the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China that day Mao Ning's statement on terrorism: "Terrorism is the public enemy of mankind. China firmly opposes 'double standards' on the issue of counter-terrorism. To support and support terrorism for one's own selfish interests and to encourage terrorism and undermine international and regional security, this approach is harmful to everyone."

Israeli Embassy : CCP supports terrorism
Subsequently, the Israeli Embassy’s official account used Mao Ning’s remarks to counterattack, implying that the CCP supports terrorism: “If this is China’s (CCP’s) consistent policy, after Hamas – a recognized terrorist organization – massacred, raped, and after abducting civilians from Israel and other countries, why does China (Chinese Communist Party) remain silent about it? Other than terrorism, there is no other word that can adequately describe such atrocities."

Accounts of Hamas' terror
According to the images released by Israel and the recollections of many witnesses, Hamas terrorists used extremely cruel methods to kill Israeli civilians, including shooting, beheading, hitting their heads with hoes, stabbing, burning, gang rape, breast cutting, stabbing or burning the private parts, etc., and Hamas personnel put a young mother's child in an oven and roasted her alive in front of her, while raping the mother.

In this terrorist attack, many Chinese workers in Israel were also killed by Hamas. However, the CCP only claimed that Chinese citizens “died in the conflict between Palestine and Israel” and did not even mention the name of Hamas.

Two said Weibo "committee members" confront the Israeli Embassy
As of late at night on 3 January 2024, the Israeli Embassy’s Weibo post accusing the CCP had received more than 20,000 likes, more than 1,000 retweets, and more than 3,000 comments, but it had not been deleted or blocked by the Weibo administrator. However, two "Weibo user supplementary instructions" were rarely added at the end of the Weibo, which may indicate that Weibo is also manipulating public opinion and confronting the Israeli Embassy.
The first "additional explanation" comes from the account "TheOnlyXYZ" with only more than a thousand followers. The account is labeled as a "Weibo community committee member."
News (8)
Mao Ning does not raise the issue of Hamas
The "supplementary explanation" added by the account quoted Mao Ning's remarks at a regular press conference on 9 October 2023. At that time, a Brazilian reporter asked whether Hamas massacred and kidnapped Israeli civilians. “Does the CCP consider these acts to be acts of terrorism?” Mao Ning avoided answering directly and only responded vaguely to China’s “opposition and condemnation of acts that harm civilians.” Even the name of Hamas was not mentioned.
But even such a vague answer was used by "TheOnlyXYZ" to refute the Israeli Embassy, claiming that China did not "keep silent on this" and so on.

CCP incites public opinion to hate Israel
In fact, to date, CCP officials have never publicly condemned Hamas. Moreover, Beijing has been using its position of "supporting the establishment of a Palestinian state" to "curvely support" Hamas, while at the same time inciting domestic and foreign public opinion to hate Israel.
Another "additional explanation" came from the account "Mafuyu O" with only more than 300 followers. The account used a United Nations Security Council vote on 18 October 2023, to refute the Israeli embassy.
News (10)
Draft resolution of "humanitarian moratorium" was vetoed
According to foreign media reports, the Security Council voted that day on a draft resolution proposed by Brazil calling for a "humanitarian moratorium" in the Gaza Strip. At that time, the CCP voted in favour, and the United Kingdom and Russia abstained. However, the draft resolution was vetoed by the United States with one vote.
According to reports, although the draft clearly condemns Hamas' "heinous terrorist attacks in Israel," the central content is to call for "a humanitarian moratorium" and "withdrawal of the order requiring residents to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip" to “guarantee humanitarian assistance.”
At the time, Israel was asking residents of Gaza to evacuate the north in order to launch an attack on Hamas in northern Gaza. The above-mentioned draft proposed by Brazil is considered to be likely to delay Israel's military operations.
In the "supplementary explanation", "Mafuyu O" deliberately avoided the content of the draft requiring "implementation of a humanitarian suspension" and only said that the draft "condemned Hamas attacks", and then took it out of context to explain that China "voted in favor" "The Chinese Communist Party supports the condemnation of Hamas", while the United States "refuses to condemn Hamas."

Chinese Communists help build Hamas' huge tunnel network under Gaza
Most international public opinion believes that the "axis of evil" behind Hamas is the CCP and Russia. It is reported that many of Hamas’s weapons come from China, and the huge tunnel network under Gaza was also built with the help of the Chinese Communist Party. There is also news that Hamas’s tactics are also guided by the CCP.
Hamas' power structure similar to CCP
Hamas's highest authority is the Politburo. This is very similar to the power structure of Zhongnanhai.

An internal document from the Hangzhou Health Commission was circulated online: The number of centenarians dropped sharply

Recently, a statistical table of the number of centenarians from the Hangzhou Health Commission in the past ten years was circulated online. The table shows that the number of centenarians, that had been increasing before, dropped sharply from 2022 to 2023. Netizens have questioned whether this phenomenon is related to the large-scale covid outbreak in mainland China at the end of 2022.
On 28 December 2023, a Weibo post titled "The Legend of Lily Bai" posted a picture on Weibo, "Statistics of centenarians in Hangzhou in the past ten years." The table shows that from 2014 to 2022, the number of elderly people has been steadily increasing Growth, for example, the total number of people was 575 in 2014, 607 in 2015, 842 in 2018, increased to 1,412 in 2021, and 1,716 in 2022. However, by 2023, the number suddenly dropped to 1,480.

Some enthusiastic netizens turned the table into a statistical line chart and explained, "This way it looks clear at a glance."

Netizens have commented, "Compared with the previous year, there were 13.95% fewer women and 13.32% less men. And this is just mechanically without considering the increase. In a normal timeline, the number of centenarians in 2023 should increase to "Around 2,000 people", "The aging of the population is very intuitive. In the past 30 years, this arc will only rise, but after liberalization, it will fall in 2023. "It has not grown but has fallen." "If we follow the growth trend, it should be almost to 2000. "One increase and one decrease is equivalent to a decrease of more than 600", "breaking the upward trend."
Image : Network screenshot
Some netizens analyzed and interpreted, "Data interpretation: Since the epidemic in 2020, the absolute value of centenarians has accelerated. In theory, the number should reach 2,000 in 2023, which means that by the end of 2022, 520 people aged 99 and above will have died. So, How many people in the age group of 98 and under have died? I don’t know.” “Look at the ratio. 1/4 of those over 100 years old have died.” “What are the death statistics in 2023? This fireworks will definitely explode.” “I think The real data will not be released, the cremation data has been deleted, wouldn’t the deletion be in vain if the real data is released?”
An informed netizen said that this is the data released by the Hangzhou Health Commission. The data is as of the end of June this year. "That is to say, if calculated according to December 2023, the actual number will only be lower."

The death toll of CCP China continues to be questioned, corpses in queue for cremation
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in 2019, the death toll announced by the Chinese Communist Party authorities has been questioned by the outside world. At the end of 2022, the CCP suddenly relaxed its strict lockdown policy, leading to a large-scale covid outbreak in mainland China. News from the public showed that hospitals were overcrowded and crematoriums were open 24 hours a day, but the CCP has been concealing the true number of deaths.
At the end of December 2022, New Tang Dynasty reported that professors and experts from Peking University and Tsinghua University died intensively in December. Judging from the obituaries published on Peking University, 15 professors died from 31 October to 5 December 2023; some netizens searched for the obituaries published on Tsinghua University and found that from 10 November to 10 December 2023, 18 professors died. The morgues in various hospitals in Beijing are also full.
In addition to the surge in deaths, hospitals and funeral homes in Beijing are almost paralyzed, and corpses have to queue up for cremation.
Employees of a funeral home in Changping District, Beijing, said that they cremated more than 100 bodies a day, and the cremation queue of the bodies was moved from the 15th to the 25th.

Netizens said, "Key words: two strains", "This must mean that they are infected with different covi strains. Many people have been fooled by the lie that once infected, they can no longer be infected for half a year. After being infected, they think If you are immune, relax your vigilance. Nowadays, mixed strains of viruses are circulating, and there can be several different strains in one place at the same time. If you are infected with one type and you are not immune to that type, of course you will be infected continuously in a short period of time."

After the CCP’s wolf warrior Foreign Minister Qin Gang was dismissed, his life and death are still unknown, but the shock to the CCP’s diplomatic system continues. Vice Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee Guo Yezhou was dismissed for unknown reasons, and Ambassador to France Lu Shaye disappeared from the last two foreign affairs conferences. It is even said that Geng Shuang, the deputy representative of the Communist Party of China to the United Nations, has fled because of the Qin Gang incident.

Vice Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee Guo Yezhou was dismissed for unknown reasons
The Chinese Communist Party’s diplomatic system recently held two important meetings, one is the Central Foreign Affairs Work Conference held every five years, and the other is the Work Conference of Diplomatic Envoys Stationed Abroad held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During this period, the outside world discovered that Guo Yezhou, deputy director of the International Department of the Central Committee of the CPC (International Department of the CPC Central Committee) in charge of party diplomacy, had disappeared from the list of "Ministry Leaders" on the ministry's official website, but the official did not announce Guo Yezhou's dismissal.
Guo Yezhou, 58, entered the International Department of the CPC Central Committee in August 1987 and served successively as deputy director, director, assistant minister and director of the general office. After being transferred from the International Department of the CPC Central Committee for more than ten years, he served as deputy director of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee in January 2014.
The CCP official did not publicly announce the reason for Guo Yezhou's dismissal. However, since Qin Gang was quickly promoted and quickly dismissed by CCP leader Xi Jinping, the CCP's diplomatic relations have continued to experience personnel shocks.

Wolf Warrior Ambassador Lu Shaye disappears
During the last two foreign affairs conferences, the disappearance of Wolf Warrior Ambassador Lu Shaye attracted attention from the outside world.
Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" stated on 4 January 2024 that in the above two foreign affairs events, the Chinese Communist Party's ambassadors to major countries and representatives to important international organizations all appeared, but Lu Shaye disappeared throughout the entire process.
Lu Shaye, who only turned 60 in October 2023, made many wolf warrior remarks during his tenure as ambassador to France. In particular, in an interview with French media in April last year, he publicly stated that "former Soviet countries have no sovereign state status." His related remarks triggered a strong diplomatic storm, and many European countries protested against the CCP. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China was forced to come forward to clarify.
Later, it was reported that Lu Shaye was recalled to CCP China by the authorities and relegated to the sidelines, but nothing happened. However, Lu Shaye's consecutive absence from foreign affairs meetings this time seems to indicate that his official career prospects are not good.
"Ming Pao" analyzed that if he were still in office, there would be no reason not to attend the above-mentioned activities. Even for health reasons, the leader of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping, should still show his face when he meets with diplomatic envoys abroad but Lu Shaye never showed up from beginning to end. If Lu Zhen is replaced, he will be another "wolf warrior" diplomat who has lost power in the past two years.

Geng Shuang and his wife fled to the United States after being implicated by Qin Gang
"Ming Pao" also quoted news as saying that recently, it was reported that an ambassador-level diplomat to the United Nations was involved in an accident by his wife. He is also a former spokesman and is famous for being "unhappy". The diplomat's real name was not mentioned in the news, but news of the flight of Chinese Communist Party diplomat Geng Shuang has been widely circulated on the Internet recently.
On the social platform He is an executive at the American Cohen Company and violates regulations. Geng (Shuang) and Qin (Gang) are good friends and may be involved with Qin and will be investigated.
In view of the CCP’s strict control over speech, it is difficult to tell whether the above-mentioned rumors are true or false, and the CCP officials have not yet confirmed them.
In this regard, Epoch Times political commentator Li Linyi believes that these news are not necessarily accurate. If Geng Shuang really defected to the United States, it is estimated that Western media will report it immediately.
Li Linyi said that the emergence of so many political rumors about the CCP in a short period of time illustrates a problem. Due to the opacity of the Chinese Communist Party’s politics, various political news has been circulating overseas.

Japan Airlines Flight 516 carrying 379 people landed on Runway C of Tokyo Haneda Airport at around 5.47 pm on 2 January and hit the Coast Guard aircraft and caught fire. About 8 people were burned. For half an hour, it went out at around 2 am on the 3rd. All people on the passenger plane successfully escaped from the plane through three emergency exits, which took a total of 18 minutes. Only 14 people were injured. There were 6 people on board the Japan Coast Guard plane, 5 died and 1 was seriously injured. JAL announced the evacuation details on the 3rd, and the New York Times quoted flight safety experts as praising JAL personnel's handling of the incident as a "miracle."

JAL: Collision occurred at about 17:47, the last person escaped at 18:05
Central News Agency quoted the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) as reporting that according to Japan Airlines (JAL), JAL Flight 516 departed from New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido and landed at Haneda Airport at around 5:47 pm on the 2nd, and then collided with the Coast Guard plane on the runway. The aircraft collided, caught fire, and taxied for about one km before stopping.

After the plane stopped, the cockpit did not notice a fire in the plane at that time, but multiple flight attendants confirmed that the aircraft was on fire. At this time, smoke began to fill the cabin, and the flight attendant who noticed the fire shouted to the passengers, "Please calm down!"
There were a total of nine flight attendants on board at the time, and the most senior flight attendant reported a fire to the cockpit. The flight attendant must obtain instructions from the cockpit before opening the emergency exit door. If instructions cannot be obtained, the flight attendant will make a judgment.
This JAL passenger plane has a total of 8 emergency exits, and evacuation operations began immediately on the 2 emergency exits closest to the cockpit. However, 5 of the remaining 6 exits were quite close to the fire, so only one emergency exit at the left rear of the aircraft was left for evacuation.
However, the intercom equipment in the rear section of the cabin failed and the flight attendants were unable to contact the cockpit, so they decided to open the emergency exit door and guide the passengers out of the aircraft.
There were a total of 379 crew members and passengers on board. The last person to leave the plane was the captain of the JAL passenger plane. The captain was evacuated from the emergency slide to the ground at 6:05 that evening, 18 minutes after the plane landed.

According to JAL’s news, the three pilots on board the plane all said when asked by the company that they “could not visually confirm the Coast Guard aircraft” when the plane landed on the runway, so they did not consider taking off and landing again.
JAL revealed that it is still unclear why the pilot was unable to identify the Coast Guard plane.
The Transportation Safety Board of the Japanese government officially launched an investigation on the 3rd. In the future, it will listen to the statements of the captains of the JAL and Coast Guard aircrafts to clarify the detailed situation.

JAL estimates operating losses to be around 3.3 billion, expected to be covered by insurance
JAL announced on 3 January 2024 that the burning of the JAL passenger plane involved in the accident is estimated to result in operating losses of approximately 15 billion yen (approximately NT$3.3 billion). This part is expected to be compensated by insurance. The impact of this incident as of 2024 on the performance impact on the airline in March 2024 is still being evaluated.
The Yomiuri Shimbun reported that regarding the condolence payments provided to passengers who boarded the JAL aircraft involved, JAL stated that "it will respond to each passenger individually and it is inconvenient to disclose the individual amounts." Some passengers revealed that JAL gave each passenger a consolation payment of 100,000 yen, and was also notified that it would provide baggage-related compensation of 100,000 yen.

Passengers alive are miracles, the passengers and crew members cooperate well
Passenger Tsubasa Sawada, 28, told Reuters that he heard an explosion about 10 minutes after he and other passengers escaped from the plane. "If it had been any later, we would have been dead."
Anton Deibe, a 17-year-old Swedish passenger on the plane who was traveling with his family, told Aftonbladet that the situation inside the plane was more terrifying than outside. He said that they had no idea what was happening or the content of the crew's broadcast at that time, because the on-board broadcast was in Japanese; Daibo's father said that the cabin was filled with smoke within a few minutes, "We lay on the floor, and then once the emergency escape door opens, we will go to the escape door."
A passenger recalled, "When the plane landed, I felt a shock that bounced my butt off the seat. I was rescued at the critical moment. I felt that it was a miracle that I survived."
Another male passenger who was sitting in the rear seat of the cabin said that he "heard a loud noise like it hit an object when the plane landed." A 15-year-old boy recalled that after the incident, "the window was full of orange light, the cabin was in chaos, and some children started crying."
Many passengers still have lingering fears when looking back on the incident. A male passenger sitting by the window described that the aircraft outside the window began to burn, and the smoke filled the cabin until his vision was obscured. He described it as "as hot as a sauna, and my breath was... My throat feels like it's burning."
According to multiple other passengers, in-cabin announcements were heard urging passengers to calm down and instructions to cover their mouths and noses. Some of the oxygen masks on board also fell from above the seats; some passengers panicked before the exit of the emergency slide opened; some passengers also helped convey the crew's instructions.
After the emergency slide was opened, the crew guided the passengers out of the aircraft. It is said that not long after, there was a huge explosion on the plane, and the fire expanded rapidly in the blink of an eye, and the entire plane was in flames in less than 30 minutes.
A mother in Saitama Prefecture received a call from her daughter at around 6 pm on the 2nd, saying, "There was a fire (in the plane). She left the plane through the emergency slide." Her daughter was also a passenger on Japan Airlines Flight 516. After hanging up the phone, her daughter sent a text message saying that she "thought she would die".

Japan Airlines praised for safe evacuation of all 367 passengers
The New York Times pointed out that the JAL crew received praise for safely evacuating all 367 passengers under such emergency and huge pressure. According to Japan's "Sankei Shimbun" citing images taken by passengers on board, flames were shooting out of the windows of the damaged plane. The situation seemed impossible for everyone to escape safely.
Ed Galea, a professor at the University of Greenwich and director of the Center for Fire Safety Engineering, called the JAL evacuation a "miraculous operation."
Galli pointed out based on the video display that at that time, the front landing gear of the passenger plane collapsed, causing the nose of the plane to be down and the tail to be upward. Passengers evacuated from the two exits at the front of the plane and one exit at the rear. "Some passengers were basically forced to evacuate through the thick smoke as if climbing up a hill."
JAL spokesperson Maggie Kuwasaki (transliteration) responded by email, saying that due to the fire, only three escape doors could be used on the plane, and JAL personnel were trained to evacuate all passengers within 90 seconds.
Trisha Ferguson, CEO of Interaction Group, the company that designed the in-flight safety instruction cards, said that being able to get all passengers off the plane safely in a very likely fatal accident fully demonstrated the cooperation of passengers and crew.
Ferguson, who has been engaged in passenger safety education in the aviation industry for 28 years, said: "The crew's reaction speed was amazing, and their handling was amazing."
As part of safety tests for new aircraft, airlines must demonstrate that they can evacuate all passengers on board within 90 seconds. Ferguson said that in the 1970s and 1980s, emergency training was mainly focused on flight crews, but after entering the 1990s and 2000s, it began to focus more on educating passengers on how to respond in emergencies.

Ferguson said that in the Japan Airlines accident, passengers were more willing to leave their luggage when they saw the thick smoke, because the entire evacuation process would be slowed down if they had to collect their luggage. "In any case, this is really a miracle." .
The Wall Street Journal pointed out that the cabin was filled with smoke, and the passengers seemed to be calmly following the crew's instructions. Videos taken by some passengers showed that they escaped from the emergency slides on both sides of the front of the plane, and flames were visible from the rear of the plane; some people helped people behind to get out after sliding out, which was in line with the practice of in-flight safety demonstration videos, and almost none of the people who escaped took any baggage also complies with flight safety instructions for discarding carry-on items in an emergency.
