In recent years, Xi has followed Mao's leftist line and centralized power within the party to rival Mao Zedong. However, in the just-concluded Two Sessions, the Xi administration did not propose policies to boost the economy and improve the investment environment, but unexpectedly canceled the Prime Minister's domestic and foreign press conferences, which was considered to be a signal that the CCP is at its end.
Yan Chungou, a senior media person, recently posted on Facebook that the CCP has internal and external troubles and the situation is deteriorating day by day. He commented, "If a country can't even afford the Prime Minister's invitation, what future can it expect?"
He bluntly said that without holding the Prime Minister's Press Conference, Xi Jinping's confidence would be gone, and this is the worst thing. The CCP is rushing towards the end of the world, and its panicked footsteps are becoming clearer and clearer.
Faced with China's economic predicament, Xi seemed to be at his wits' end and proposed the term "new quality productivity," which aroused ridicule from the outside world. After the Two Sessions, Xi immediately went to Mao Zedong’s alma mater to see the bed where Mao had slept. In response, netizens said that Xi was "worshipping ghosts" and "the devil is summoning."

Zhou Xiaohui: Xi has no choice but to imitate Mao
On 26 December 2023, Mao’s birthday, Xi also led officials to worship Mao’s body at the Mao Zedong Memorial Hall and praised Mao in a high-profile manner.
Current affairs commentator Zhou Xiaohui said that Xi Jinping's worship of Mao is, on the one hand, to show the outside world that he is the direct successor of Mao and will adhere to Mao's political and military line to fight against the world.
On the other hand, this also shows that Xi has no choice but to follow Mao's example and strengthen his control over the party and the people when he has failed to deceive externally, the international pressure has increased, and he cannot face the economic malaise, public dissatisfaction, and increasing social instability internally. control and maintain their own power.
It is worth mentioning that just the day before Xi worshiped Mao’s corpse, Caixin Weekly, which has an official background, published an editorial stating that the CCP is facing major changes unseen in a century and facing numerous internal and external challenges, and quoted Xi Jinping as saying, “ Failure to seek truth from facts will harm the party and the country."
The article sparked heated discussions as soon as it was published. Many netizens believed that the article was using official discourse to criticize Xi Jinping's perverse policies in politics and economy, which have led to people's deprivation of life. Some netizens said that Caixin's direct war against Xi shows that the CCP is not monolithic. The article was soon deleted.

After Xi worshiped ghosts at the 19th National Congress, disasters followed one after another
In fact, Xi Jinping did not start praising Mao after becoming party leader in 2012. On the contrary, he once weakened Mao. For example, when he first visited Hunan for inspection, he did not go to Mao’s former residence to pay homage; on the 120th anniversary of Mao’s anniversary, a performance to commemorate Mao that was scheduled to be held at the Beijing Great Hall was cancelled.
However, after the conclusion of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2017, Xi’s line changed. For the first time, he led members of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China to visit Shanghai to pay homage to the site of the National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and then went to Nanhu in Jiaxing, Zhejiang to pay homage to the "Red Boat" of the Communist Party of China.
Since then, CCP China has experienced constant troubles and disasters. Not only is the Sino-US trade war intensifying, but swine fever and plague are also coming. The covid outbreak broke out at the end of 2019 and has continued to this day. The CCP is in trouble both internally and externally. It faces an international technological blockade from Europe and the United States. The domestic economy continues to decline, the stock market plummets, the unemployment rate rises, real estate is on the verge of collapse, public dissatisfaction boils over, and a social crisis is imminent.

The Hong Kong government urgently recommends Article 23. Analysis: Xi Jinping’s future is not good, Let's wait for the outcome
Editor : Li Enzhen / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/03/20/a103863474.html / Image : The picture shows Hong Kong people taking to the streets to oppose the evil laws under Article 23 on 1 July 2003. (Peter Parks/AFP via Getty Images)
On 19 March 2024, the Hong Kong Legislative Council quickly passed the legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law, triggering a joint statement of condemnation from nearly 80 politicians from the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries. Some analysts pointed out that the CCP’s eagerness to push this evil law shows that party leader Xi Jinping is quite pessimistic about the internal and external situation from this year onwards, which indicates a very bad future. At present, the whole country is waiting for an ending.
On 20 March 2024, veteran media person Yan Chungou posted on Facebook that in order to introduce Article 23 legislation, Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao led all members of the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference to return to Hong Kong overnight and worked overtime non-stop. This matter is quite strange. For Hong Kong, the Chinese Communist Party has a strong stabilizing force externally, and the National Security Law is at the bottom internally.
The article believes that the CCP has introduced so many laws and regulations based on social governance in a short period of time, which shows that the CCP headed by Xi Jinping has pessimistic expectations for the future of China. The situation will take a turn for the worse, and there is no good way to reverse the situation. The internal and external pressures faced by the CCP will grow explosively in a short period of time. These measures are only being promoted to cope with future governance crises.
The article pointed out that the imposition of the CCP’s self-established National Security Law on Hong Kong violated the Basic Law, and also showed the CCP’s true face of being barbaric, disrespectful of dignity, and contrary to world civilization. Although it has suppressed the resistance of Hong Kong people on the surface, the CCP has therefore paid a huge political price.
Domestically, the situation will deteriorate rapidly this year. The real estate explosion is a foregone conclusion, a banking and financial crisis is imminent, local debts are unresolved, foreign capital will never return, the unemployment rate continues to increase, and the consumer market is weak. In the coming year, social crises will intensify, chaos will arise, vicious accidents will occur frequently, and the CCP will be unstable within itself.
The article said that all signs point to one result, that is, society will become more chaotic, the government will be as big as a fight, public dissatisfaction will arise, and unrest will arise one after another. Xi will not have a good life this year, and whether he can hold on to his position is increasingly becoming a question. The internal and external situation also foreshadows a rather ominous future.
The article pointed out that the fundamental reason why many evil laws of autocratic rule have been introduced intensively in a short period of time is that Xi Jinping has quite pessimistic predictions about the internal and external situation in the coming year. The situation may be so bad that it may far exceed the CCP’s own judgment. So they would rather do bad things first in order to solve internal worries.
The article stated that the introduction of many evil laws in a short period of time has scared away foreign investment, discouraged foreign businessmen, and left the private economy half-dead. The country is not peaceful and the people are uneasy. The Chinese people choose to lie down, resist and escape. No one is prepared to share weal and woe with the Communist Party of China. The whole country is waiting for an outcome. The situation is unprecedentedly dangerous. Once the situation gets out of control internally and externally, the CCP will not be able to hold on. Article 23 is nothing more than a placebo that is of no use.
In 2003, the Hong Kong government tried to pass legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law, which triggered 500,000 Hong Kong people to take to the streets to protest, and the legislation was shelved.
After the passage of the law, on 19 March 2024, nearly 80 cross-party members or political figures from the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, France, Ireland, Canada, South Korea, and Malaysia issued a joint statement condemning the hasty passage of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, that Article 23 of the Basic Law denounces the legislation.
Former Hong Kong Governor Patten said that the passage of this law is "another big nail in the coffin of Hong Kong's human rights and rule of law." He condemned the Chinese Communist authorities for further shameful violations of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. He asked, how can governments, parliaments and investors continue to trust any commitments made by the Beijing authorities in the future?
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron issued a stern statement condemning the Hong Kong government's move. The overall impact of Hong Kong's new national security law is that it will further undermine the rights and freedoms once enjoyed in the city, the statement said. It undermines Hong Kong's implementation of binding international obligations, including the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
U.S. State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said at a regular press conference, “We believe that such actions may accelerate the closure of Hong Kong, a once open society, and we are not satisfied with the provisions of Article 23. We are alarmed by the broad and vaguely defined provisions. We believe this is undemocratically elected legislation that will be passed quickly after a shortened public comment period.”
"We will not hesitate to point out who is responsible for eroding the autonomy promised to Hong Kong, and we will not hesitate to make our voices heard. We will take other actions if the situation requires it," he said.
The "Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China Policy" (IPAC) issued a statement saying that Hong Kong has now become one of the most dangerous places in the world. The passage of this law in Hong Kong represents a further catastrophic deterioration of Hong Kong's freedoms, and it also fundamentally changes Hong Kong's business environment.
Sarah Brooks, Amnesty International's China director, said in a statement that with this law, the Hong Kong government has once again dealt a devastating blow to human rights in the city.
In 1997, when the United Kingdom transferred sovereignty over Hong Kong, the Chinese Communist Party promised to implement "one country, two systems" for Hong Kong, ensuring that Hong Kong would enjoy a high degree of autonomy for the next 50 years and allowing Hong Kong to continue to maintain the Western model. However, with the CCP's forceful push for the "Hong Kong National Security Law", it means that Hong Kong's "one country, two systems" has completely fallen.
After Hong Kong's sovereignty was handed over to the Chinese Communist Party, Hong Kong people carried out large-scale protests one after another. For example, in 2014, Hong Kong people launched a series of Umbrella Movements to fight for true universal suffrage; in 2019, large-scale "anti-extradition" pro-democracy protests broke out in Hong Kong for more than five months, and were violently suppressed by the CCP and the Hong Kong government.
On 30 June 2020, the Chinese Communist Party forced the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s free society and legal system were systematically undermined. Hong Kong not only completely blocked the press and freedom of speech, but also imprisoned hundreds of democrats, resulting in thousands of thousands of Hong Kong people chose to flee Hong Kong.

Russia’s high-profile “humiliation of China”? Commemorating the border conflict, the CCP remains silent
Editor : Li Mingfei / Reporter : Luo Ya / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/03/19/a103863317.html
Recently, various places in Russia celebrated the 55th anniversary of the victory in the battle to defend China’s “Damansky Island” with high profile, triggering heated discussions. Some netizens chose to ignore this "insulting China" behavior and believed that it was more important to unite with Russia to resist the United States. Others angrily criticized Tsarist Russia for never giving up its territorial ambitions in coveting China. The CCP, which was in an awkward position, remained silent.
From the end of February to the present, Russia has held various commemorative activities to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the victory of the Defense War of Damansky Island from the Primorsky Krai in the east, to Irkutsk and Omsk in the center, and to the Rostov region in the west.
Participating in this national commemoration event are government officials, military personnel, as well as civil cultural institutions, schools, etc.
What Russia calls the Defense of Damansky Island is called the Zhenbao Island Self-defense and Counterattack in China.
In March 1969, a fierce border armed conflict broke out between the two largest communist countries, China and the former Soviet Union, on Zhenbao Island in Heilongjiang, resulting in hundreds of casualties on both sides. In the months that followed, fighting continued along the border in the Heilongjiang River Basin and along the border between Xinjiang in the west and what is now Kazakhstan.
The war finally pushed China and the United States to join forces to fight against the Soviet Union, changing the world's geopolitical landscape at that time.
Today, Russia is stuck in the quagmire of the Russo-Ukrainian war and suffered heavy losses. Its high-profile celebration of its victory in the war against China has particularly aroused public attention.
Lai Rongwei, CEO of the Taiwan Inspirational Association (TIA), believes that this commemorative event is driven by Russia’s need for nationalist propaganda, and it also reflects that the real Sino-Russian relations are not that good.
Lai Rongwei, CEO of the Taiwan Inspirational Association (TIA): "On the one hand, Russia promotes nationalism internationally and domestically, and then tells everyone that he is the boss, he is still a world-class hegemon, and he is still the big brother of the CCP." Outside, in terms of interests, I still have good relations with you, China, and I am sure that you, China, will not be at odds with me. You need me, Russia, because China is now also surrounded by the international community."
In the face of this round of "insulting China" celebrations across Russia, the Chinese Communist Party's official media has remained silent.
In Weibo, Douyin and WeChat groups, Chinese netizens are divided into two obvious groups. The group that denounces Russia as the wolf of the north and has never given up on China's territorial ambitions is the majority; the other group claims that in the context of the deteriorating Sino-US relations, the conflict between China and Russia is a secondary one.
Zheng Qinmo, associate professor of the Department of Foreign Affairs of Tamkang University in Taiwan, said that the CCP’s position was embarrassing, so it chose to remain silent.
Zheng Qinmo, associate professor of the Department of Foreign Affairs of Tamkang University in Taiwan: "The CCP actually relies on these little pinks in the country to manipulate nationalism. It will constantly emphasize that U.S. imperialism is determined to subjugate itself. But when it comes to Russia, the CCP's official media basically only It can be swallowed. Even if sometimes there is no immediate intervention, let the little pink have an attack. In fact, there are many little pinks in the country who remember the centuries-old hatred between China and Russia, but if it is not too much, the CCP can let it go. "
In fact, there are still many landmarks across Russia that are hostile to China.
In the central square of Kyzyl, the capital of Tuva, stands the so-called monument to celebrate the Tuva people's expulsion of the Chinese invaders in 1921.
In historical museums across Russia, the seizure of China's border territories was also recorded in writing as "a progressive action by Russian civilization to help local peoples liberate themselves from the oppression of backward Chinese civilization."
Independent commentator Cai Shenkun believes that without the Soviet Union, there would be no Communist Party. Therefore, in the face of territorial disputes, the CCP has always avoided the history of Sino-Russian enmity and did not dare to show a tough attitude.
Independent commentator Cai Shenkun said, "What does Russia want? In fact, the CCP will not fall out with it until now. Because it knows that the border between China and Russia is thousands of kilometers long. The CCP's biggest threat is actually in Russia. Not in the United States. When it comes to the issue with China, the United States has no so-called land claims against China, but Russia and China have huge land disputes, whether it is Zhenbao Island or Haishenwei."
"Haishenwei" mentioned by Cai Shenkun was once a Chinese territory, but is now renamed "Vladivostok" by Russia, which means "Conquer the East."
In 1999, Jiang Zemin, the former leader of the Communist Party of China, signed the "Protocol on the Narration of the Eastern and Western Sections of the Sino-Russian Boundary Line" with Russia, which was humiliating and humiliating to the country. It recognized a series of unequal treaties between China and Russia signed by the late Qing Dynasty and Russia, and included more than 1 million people in Vladivostok and 100 million square kilometres of Chinese territory were allocated to Russia.

Putin is re-elected, Russia and China join forces again, and the confrontation between the two camps may intensify
Editor : Shang Yan / Reporter : Luo Ya / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/03/19/a103863315.html
After Russian President Putin was re-elected, the leader of the Communist Party of China also sent a congratulatory message immediately. Putin predicted today that Russia-China relations will become even stronger in the years to come after his re-election.
As the Russo-Ukrainian war enters its third year, Russia holds a presidential election. Two anti-war candidates are barred from running. Putin’s number one political enemy, Alexei Navalny, died suddenly in prison last month. Under such circumstances , Putin achieved a so-called "overwhelming" victory but this result also triggered international controversy.
Xi Jinping, leader of the Communist Party of China, sent a congratulatory message to Putin on 18 March 2024 and promised to continue to develop Sino-Russian relations. Putin also said that China and Russia have many common interests in economics and international politics and will strengthen bilateral relations in the next few years.
Lai Rongwei, CEO of the Taiwan Inspirational Association (TIA): "The two sides are complementary in terms of individuals, overturning the international order, and national interests. Of course, these two countries will not say that there are no conflicts but the most important thing now is their enemies are the United States and the European Union."
Putin has entered his fifth term and will continue to rule Russia for another six years. Xi Jinping broke with convention for a third term last year and is widely believed to intend to rule for life. If the two continue to join forces to promote the so-called "century-old changes", what impact will they have on the world situation?
Lai Rongwei, CEO of the Taiwan Inspirational Association (TIA), believes that the confrontation of values between the two camps will continue. He gave an example of the concept of "sharp power" developed by American academic circles in 2017. Authoritarian governments will use the so-called fragility of democratic societies to exert influence and control.
Lai Rongwei: "Including the current US presidential election and the election of members of Congress, you will find that the United States often names Russia and China for interfering in their elections. Of course, Taiwan has also been talking about cognitive warfare in recent years, or in other words A while ago, we saw a gray zone conflict mentioned in the Kinmen Sea. These two countries want to overthrow the international order led by the United States in terms of power. In order to pursue their national interests, they do not hesitate to violate democratic values. And then use global We need liberal democracy to carry out the infiltration of this kind of sharp power and this kind of gray area, and I think this will continue."
Ong Mingxian, a professor at the Institute of International Affairs and Strategy at Tamkang University, said that there is another factor that will affect the so-called "century-old changes" between China and Russia this year, and that is the U.S. election at the end of the year.
Ong Mingxian, director of the Institute of International Affairs and Strategy at Tamkang University: "If Biden is elected, he will intensify the current strategic confrontation between the United States and China. He may also create a tense situation in which the United States has to deal with China's strategic alliance with Russia. At present, Russia is targeting Ukraine will not let go and will threaten other countries with nuclear weapons at any time. If the Republican president is elected on 5 November, this change may turn into another situation. Because if Trump is re-elected, he may put the United States' interests first. He may intensify the trade war and technology war between the U.S. and China. The overall existing regional conflicts more including in the Middle East, Israel and Hamas, may be more intense.”
The more imminent crisis is the Russia-Ukraine war. Putin warned on 18 March 2024 that if Russia had a direct conflict with NATO, it would be only one step away from the so-called World War III.
Lai Rongwei: "Everyone can say such harsh words but will he really start a world war? In fact, internationally we need all countries to cooperate with us to carry out a concept of structural deterrence. That is, within the entire international structure, everyone must unite and collectively deter it, we must make it afraid to take action, this is the key.”
Although China has quietly supported Russia diplomatically and economically, commentators point out that there are also conflicts between the two sides.
Lai Rongwei: "After all, China may have many conflicts with neighbouring sovereign countries, but China is not as deeply involved in the war in Ukraine as Russia. China will also make its own calculations. Although you say you support Russia, you still have to do it on the table. Maintain a 'neutral' attitude that does not lean on either side. Because it also knows that if it is too supportive of Russia, wouldn't your legitimacy in the international community be very bad? So from this point of view, we can see that China and Russia have already buried conflicts and conflicts."
Lai Rongwei said that Russia and China now have to cooperate because Russia needs help from the CCP, and the CCP is being contained by the United States but the two countries also have a competitive relationship, and Putin will also be very concerned about whether the CCP’s Belt and Road Initiative will take advantage of the Russia-Ukraine war to encroach on Russia’s territory.

Two countries interrupt China's constitutional path
In early March, some overseas people who promote China's democratic progress held the first State Council in Washington, DC, to discuss what kind of path China should take after the CCP collapse. They formulated ten points. The founding program directly proposed the slogan of overthrowing the CCP and rebuilding the republic. The focus of the discussion is on the plans and approaches to rebuild the constitutional system in China. In modern times, China once created Asia's first republic, the Republic of China. However, due to internal and external troubles, it has never been able to establish a stable constitutional republic. For many Chinese people, dismantling the CCP and rebuilding a republic is the real Chinese dream. NTDTV's "Elite Forum" invited Wang Juntao and Zheng Xuguang, democrats who participated in the first State Council meeting, to discuss China's century-old constitutional history and the road to future reconstruction.

Three Major Characteristics of the Constitutional System the Republic of China aimed at constitutionalism
Wang Juntao, chairman of the China Democratic Party, said in the "Pinnacle View" that although constitutional republics have various forms in modern human politics, they have three common characteristics. The first is the rights of citizens in a constitutional republic. Various freedoms and basic human rights must be fully respected and protected, at least in political practice, and must be put forward as a concept. The second is that all state institutions that manage citizens must be authorized directly or indirectly by citizens through elections or other means. Third, in order to ensure that authorized state agencies do not abuse or exceed their powers, state power must be decentralized and checked.
Starting from these three elements, in fact, the CCP is not a constitutional democratic system. This is why we propose to overthrow the CCP and rebuild a republic. It is because the CCP is not a republican system. We must establish a real republican system worthy of the name.
Wang Juntao said that China established the first republic in Asia (the Republic of China), but in fact, China already had a history of constitutionalism before that. After the Russo-Japanese War, the Qing government at that time learned from the pain and decided to follow the example of other countries in the world. Establish constitutional government. At that time, it was a constitutional monarchy. In any case, the constitutional movement in the late Qing Dynasty did formulate a set of outlines for the constitution, and there was a schedule that was originally nine years and later became seven years. Of course, the constitutional government of the Qing Dynasty was interrupted by the Revolution of 1911. .
The Revolution of 1911 established the Republic of China. Although the Republic of China has different stages, they all strive to achieve constitutional government. Of course, we can make various criticisms about the constitutionalism of the Republic of China and the late Qing Dynasty, but if we look at some of the relatively perfect constitutional countries in the world, in fact, the United States still has many problems. A country like the United Kingdom has never had a constitution. , its constitutional process was advanced step by step. Therefore, a constitutional country should be regarded as having a commitment to the three points we mentioned earlier: first, the rights and freedoms of citizens are fully protected; second, any institution that governs citizens must be authorized by citizens; third, , National governance institutions must have decentralized checks and balances. Starting from these three points, if a country actually has such a commitment and fulfills its commitment through continuous development, although it has problems at every stage, as long as it does so, it is a constitutional practice. From this perspective, I think the Republic of China is a constitutional country, and the late Qing Dynasty was also a country that was practicing constitutionalism.

The relay of constitutional government in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the constitutionalists dominated the political situation in the early Republic of China
Political and economic commentator Zheng Xuguang said in the "Elite Forum" that the Republic of China can be said to be born out of the constitutional movement of the late Qing Dynasty to a certain extent. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the power of the Han governorate rose. The Han people actually controlled a lot of military and political power. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, two directions were at work at the same time. On the one hand, there was the stimulus of the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, and on the other hand, there was the Russo-Japanese War. This stimulus was even stronger, that is, a small constitutional country defeated a large autocratic country. Under such a situation, the exiled constitutionalists also had their say. Liang Qichao said, constitutional monarchy, monarchy Among the three systems of autocracy and constitutional republic, constitutional monarchy is the best. But the example of the constitutionalists is the United Kingdom, and their idea of the royal family is Japan. The power of the king or emperor is greater in Japan than in the United Kingdom. What they favour is the Japanese-German style, that is, power is based on the royal family. This would cause a conflict with the political reality. The political reality is that the governors in various places are very dissatisfied with the royal cabinet, so they retreated from the nine-year preparation for the constitution to five years, or even three years. In this case, the Revolution of 1911 actually not only overturned the imperial family, but also accelerated this constitutional movement. In other words, the constitutional movement did not stop after the Revolution of 1911, but accelerated before the imperial family handed over power. A big reason for the acceleration was that the royal family was afraid of losing power, so it deprived Han people like Yuan Shikai of their power, which in turn accelerated the revolution.
Zheng Xuguang said that among the political forces in the late Qing Dynasty, the revolutionary party was actually basically limited to a guiding type, for example, it created the reality of republic. But in fact, according to the criticism in the early Republic of China, it is called changing the soup without changing the medicine. How can we change the soup without changing the medicine? The people who did things were all those from the late Qing Dynasty. The revolutionary party was non-mainstream, and the mainstream ones were the constitutionalists and the Beiyang clique.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the hard-line conservatives were actually weak. The most powerful were the constitutionalists. That is to say, the local powerful factions all supported the constitution, and the scribes were all constitutionalists. It is somewhat similar to the current mechanism of the People's Republic of China. During the 45 years of reform and opening up, the main force was this group of people. And Xi Jinping represents the power of the princelings. After Xi Jinping was appointed, a large number of officials with civilian backgrounds felt very cold and felt that they were hopeless. Judging from Li Keqiang's final fate, this group of officials should be heartbroken, but they do not have the strength of the powerful Han faction in the late Qing Dynasty. They can be called hidden strength, that is, they do not have as much strength on the surface, but the hidden strength is still very great.

Japan and the Soviet Union invaded Chiang Kai-shek to protect the country, and the CCP destroyed the constitutional government of the Republic of China
Wang Juntao said in the "Pinnacle View" that the Republic of China was divided into the Beiyang Era and the Nanjing National Government Era. In both stages, China faced a major problem, which was the pressure from the Soviet Union in the north and Japan in the east. Both countries support forces within China that split China, which will lead to constant internal wars in China. After Sun Yat-sen resigned as interim president, he originally wanted to build railways and promote national development. The reason why he later returned to politics was because many problems could not be solved. The Nationalist government was a revolutionary party, and Beiyang was actually a reformist party in the late Qing Dynasty's constitution, that is, a reformist party within the system.
When I was in the United States, I read an American doctoral thesis, which said that Yuan Shikai was killed by the Japanese, and the Japanese did not allow China to have a unified China. At the critical moment, the Japanese prevented the British from taking the lead in lending to the Beiyang government, and prevented the Beiyang government from quelling the second revolution of the Southern Revolutionary Party and the war to protect the country and the war to protect the law, which made China step by step into a relatively divided state. At this time, Sun Yat-sen received support from the Soviet Union. We now know that Sun Yat-sen did not actually agree with the Soviet Union. He re-appointed Chiang Kai-shek, but he did not really want to use those leftists. Chiang Kai-shek had this idea of recreating the Republic of China. He and Yuan Shikai had similar ideas. They both had the idea of dealing with the Japanese, because it turned out that Japan was a great threat at the time, and they also wanted to prevent the Communist Party. He was guarding against the Japanese and the Communists at the same time, which put him under a lot of pressure. Therefore, he accepted Sun Yat-sen’s terms of military government, political training, and constitutional government. Chiang Kai-shek was a nationalist, and neither the Soviet Union nor Japan was acceptable to them. Because Britain and the United States actually no longer have territorial claims on China, and they could negotiate to abrogate these treaties with China at that time, as long as the Republic of China government could protect their rights in China and respect international law.
Zheng Xuguang said in the "Pinnacle View" that the so-called party-state system of the Kuomintang is not sustainable. It is military government, training government, and constitutional government. Then military government is to complete the Northern Expedition. It will be completed by taking over the central government in 2028. It can be said that political training lasted throughout the entire period of the Anti-Japanese War. The Anti-Japanese War period should also be regarded as a continuation of the military administration. Then at the end of the Anti-Japanese War, there was the 46th Constitution and the 47th Constitution. So we see that in China, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to before the Anti-Japanese War, there was basically a de facto constitutional government, which meant that the power of this government was limited. Including the fact that Chiang Kai-shek's government was limited to the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, there was no real so-called unification of military orders. It was as strong as the party-state system, and local powerful factions always existed. In the past there were the Beiyang clique, the Zhili clique, the Anhui clique, and the Fengcian clique, and later the Yunnan clique and the Gui clique emerged during the Dharma-protecting Revolution. These were all local autonomy supported by force. So on the surface, there are warlords fighting, but in fact the economy is developing very well, the people's lives have nothing to do with you, they are living a good life, and the great powers also recognize the existence of Greater China, and there is no risk of splitting.
So during the Chiang Kai-shek government, there were new warlords like Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Feng, and Yan Xigui, which was actually a form of force check and balance. This tension is very interesting. I recognize the legal system of the Republic of China, but I maintain my independence, and my independence is supported by armed forces. Therefore, there is actually a kind of constitutionalism objectively, including a legal system that recognizes the provisional constitution.
During the Anti-Japanese War, we can see clearly. Those who have territorial ideas about China are Japan and Russia, or Japan and the Soviet Union. Today, Japan and the Soviet Union truly interrupted the constitutional process of the Republic of China. With the intervention of Japan and the Soviet Union, we can see clearly that Japan and the Soviet Union were in confrontation in Northeast China, Mongolia, and Xinjiang, which eventually led to World War II and the collapse of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the civil war. Of course, we know that because of the war with the Chinese Communist Party, the Nationalist Government had a regulation on mobilization during the anti-rebellion period. It was abolished during the Lee Teng-hui period and the constitution could be truly implemented. Of course, some amendments must be added to suit the size of Taiwan. Taiwan's constitutional government can now be said to be the best in Asia. What does this mean? It shows that the spirit of the Constitution of the Republic of China and the traditional Chinese culture are combined very well in Taiwan. In fact, Hong Kong has also been combined very well. Hong Kong has constitutionalism but no democracy, while Taiwan has constitutionalism and democracy. This is an almost perfect example.

The disintegration of the CCP system is imminent and the return to the Republic of China is the general trend
Zheng Xuguang said in the "Elite Forum" that China's development since 1840, according to Li Hongzhang, has been a major change unseen in three thousand years. In the three thousand years since recorded history, the unprecedented change was the encounter with the maritime civilization from the West. Chinese scholar-officials in the late Qing Dynasty highly praised British politics and American politics. They believed that the political culture of the United States was the rule of Yao and Shun. , they had a real sense of inferiority about themselves. At first, they said it was because of the strong ships and powerful artillery, and later they said it was because of the powerful Westernization industry. Finally, by the time of Li Hongzhang, they had already recognized the political system. So in fact, when these powerful people have this idea, China's changes are unstoppable.
I think this is the case in China now. It is obvious that the path of communism and socialism is unworkable. All the top leaders of the CCP are very clear about this. Only those with primary school education cannot figure this out. Then the system of the People's Republic of China must disintegrate. Just like all communist countries in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, or countries governed by the Communist Party, not a single country title is retained. It’s all about restoring the old system, so what is the restoration revolution in China? It means the restoration of the Republic of China, which is the restoration of the Republic of China that I often use. I think if it is not the restoration of the Republic of China, it is also the restoration of the spirit of the Republic of China. Since the constitutional movement of the Congress Movement in the late Qing Dynasty, generations of people with lofty ideals in modern China have pursued freedom, democracy, and constitutional government. We must restore this road. I have great confidence in this road.

Yanjiao explosion, Jiang Mianheng involved in military corruption
Many incidents occurred in CCP China during the Two Sessions in Beijing this year, including explosions, fires, vicious social security cases, etc. The latest incident was that just after the Two Sessions, something happened in Yanjiao on the edge of Beijing, where a large explosion occurred. Official reports said that 7 people died and more than 20 people were injured. In addition, the CCP proposed a new concept "new quality productivity" at the two sessions, which attracted attention from the outside world. Is this "new quality productivity" a new economic policy of the CCP, or is it just a mystery?

The cause of the Yanjiao explosion is kept secret by officials
Independent TV producer Li Jun said in NTDTV's "Pinnacle View" program that Beijing and Yanjiao are separated by a river. On this side of the river is Yanjiao, and on the other side of the river is Tongzhou, Beijing. Yanjiao is only about 30 km away from the centre of Beijing, which is closer than many suburbs of Beijing. There is a video of the Yanjiao explosion on the Internet. I was very surprised when I saw it. The explosion blew up the whole place in an instant. It did not feel like an accident as the weapons were like the missiles used in the Hamas-Israeli war. The warheads had a large yield and could blow up the building in one fell swoop. The CCP said it was a liquefied gas explosion in a fried chicken restaurant but the staff of the fried chicken restaurant responded and said, "I don’t use gas here at all, I use electricity." Therefore, there are many doubts about this explosion. What people are paying attention to is why there was such a powerful explosion?
Shi Shan, senior editor and chief writer of The Epoch Times, said in the "Pinnacle View" that he saw a lot of opinions on the Internet. Some people said it was revenge against society, and some people said it was a gas pipeline leak, but the gas company said they do not supply a pipeline either. Passing by that place, this incident indeed triggered a lot of speculation, especially since the explosion site was so close to Beijing.
Guo Jun, editor-in-chief of The Epoch Times, said in the "Pinnacle View" that Beijing's Feng Shui is surrounded by mountains to the west and north, and plains to the east and south. Beijing faces south. Yanjiao is said to be home to 300,000 people who work in Beijing. A lot has happened around Beijing in the past two years. Floods occurred last summer. Floods occurred in the mountains to the west and flooded many places in Hebei Province in the southwest. . At the beginning of spring this year, there was a big explosion in Yanjiao in the east. This scene is very ominous. It feels like dire straits. It is as if there is a force at work that wants to subvert Beijing.

Jiang Mianheng was involved in the military's move to overthrow Xi, and the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was afraid to convene
Li Jun said in the "Pinnacle View" that Yuan Hongbing recently broke the news that the third plenary session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China could not be held mainly due to political reasons. It is said that after Qin Gang and Li Shangfu were arrested, they revealed that there are a group of people in the diplomatic system and the military system such as the Rocket Force system who are not loyal to Xi Jinping in their hearts, which has caused great difficulties for Xi Jinping. Recently, a new situation is even more serious. After Ju Gansheng, the commander of the strategic support force, and Xu Zhongbo, the former political commissar of the Rocket Force, were controlled, the two men gave a very thorough explanation. They finally confessed to Jiang Mianheng, saying that many officials formed a political gang with Jiang Mianheng. These people are not only corrupt, but also engaged in unorganized political activities. They privately express doubts and disapproval of Xi Jinping's ability to govern. Most of these people belong to the Xi family army, which gives Xi Jinping a headache and makes him hesitant.
Guo Jun, editor-in-chief of The Epoch Times, said in the programme that Jiang Mianheng once served as the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was in charge of rocket and satellite launches. He received a doctorate in the United States, majoring in materials physics. In 2004, Jiang Mianheng also served as the deputy commander-in-chief of Shenzhou-5 and the chief scientist of the Innovation-1 small satellite. In 2007, he served as the deputy leader of the lunar exploration engineering team. He is also the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chang'e Project , and in 2008 he also served as deputy commander-in-chief of Shenzhou-7. In other words, Jiang Mianheng is indeed connected with those people in the Rocket Force and the Equipment Department of the Central Military Commission. For example, Li Shangfu was originally the commander-in-chief of the Xichang Rocket Launch Center, so they are both the commander-in-chief of rocket launches, so there is some inevitable connection. There is also the Strategic Support Force. One of the key projects of the Strategic Support Force is low-orbit satellites. Jiang Mianheng was originally the chief scientist of the so-called low-orbit satellites, so they have a lot of overlap.
Now that the Rocket Force and Strategic Support Force are under comprehensive investigation, Jiang Mianheng is implicated. This statement is actually reasonable. In addition, we have also said that the Rocket Force, Strategic Support Force, and General Armament Department are all places where professionals are concentrated. Most of them have received a good professional education. They look down on people who have not received formal education, or they look down upon people who have not received formal education. These people, this is a very normal psychology. Even if they don't say it on the surface, they may not say it behind the scenes. There will definitely be various speeches to protect the core in public, but in private, especially when eating, after drinking some wine, they will inevitably say some disrespectful words to the party leader. . The current problem is that Beijing governs officials based on private speeches. Speeches made in various private situations and at various wine tables will become important basis for official review.
We now often see reports from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that officials are two-faced, have bad political conduct, etc. This shows that the CCP is dissatisfied with the political decisions and measures at the highest level. They have many inner opinions, and it is very likely that A large number of opposition groups have formed, which highlights the intensification of internal conflicts among the top leadership of the CCP.
Guo Jun said that because this kind of thing is so common, it is said that the highest levels in Beijing are considering a comprehensive criticism of the era of Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin, ranging from theories to various policies and measures. On the one hand, this will highlight Xi Jinping’s so-called achievement of turning the tide; on the other hand, it will also require another fundamental clean-up and purge within the party.
Cai Shenkun, a senior Chinese media person who lived in the United States, said in the "Pinnacle View" that if Xi Jinping wants to comprehensively criticize the era of Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin, there would be a hysterical approach. Because no matter what the Communist Party is, it still has some inheritance. For example, Deng Xiaoping must have had a deep hatred for Mao Zedong, but later he still held up Mao Zedong's affairs, and then quietly put it down. I think that Xi Jinping has this kind of inheritance when he is today. The reason why he has been able to sit so firmly in this position in the past ten years is because Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao have accumulated wealth for him in front of him. If he did not have such a family background, I don’t think he can sit in his position today.
For example, when Deng Xiaoping took over Mao Zedong, it was a mess and it would be very difficult for anyone to fix it. If you continue to follow Mao Zedong's path, you won't be able to go on. I believe that Xi Jinping has tried in recent years. He wants to go back to Mao's era for a while, but every time he goes back, it is actually very difficult. Although we see that he is now highly concentrated in power and keeps his word, his power now has exceeded that of Mao Zedong's era. During Mao Zedong's era, Zhou Enlai still had a large part of the power, but now almost everything, including the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the CPPCC, and the State Council, has Without power, he basically has the final say. In this case, there are no restrictions or restrictions, but many things he wants to do are still unable to be done. If he completely denies Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao, I think the whole party, the whole army, and the people of the country may not necessarily turn this corner. The road ahead for him is actually more difficult. After he denies them, what kind of road will he take? Is he really following Mao Zedong's path of seclusion? That one is impassable, and he has wanted to leave in recent years, but when the city was closed and cleared, a few pieces of white paper knocked him down. So I think we should not take centralization too seriously. Sometimes centralization breaks down, and in fact it only happens in an instant.

"New Quality Productivity" is so mysterious that experts across the country are confused
Cai Shenkun said in the "Pinnacle View" that I have been paying close attention to "new quality productivity" in the past few days. Judging from some reports in the "People's Daily" or Xinhua News Agency, judging from the conversations of representatives or committee members of the two sessions, in fact, No one has figured out what this "new productive force" is. No one has figured it out. I think it was probably a slip of the tongue when Xi Jinping talked about this topic when he went to Heilongjiang last year. Because at the beginning, I saw an article published by the Party School of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee in the People's Daily. When he interpreted this new quality productivity, according to his understanding, he said it means new knowledge and new awareness, which means that we Be very sensitive to new things. But later, I do not know why the propaganda department or the Party Central Committee finally made it into a matter of quality, which is not knowledge. This is a slip of the tongue. What is very funny now is that all the people are expressing or swearing how to develop "new productive forces." I have been joking about it in the past few days. Generally speaking, CCP China actually does not need any "new productive forces". After a party is highly centralized, it mainly needs to delegate power. Only by delegating power can all productivity be maximized and allow big play.
In the past few decades in China, when we talk about economic development, economic take-off, or some positive changes in reforms, the main reason is that the party decentralized power in the past. Once you decentralize power, all productivity will be greatly released. For the common people, only by delegating power can people have expectations for the future, and various factors of production will develop in a positive and healthy way. You are only talking about this so-called "new productive force" without really decentralizing power or loosening ties. Now these companies, including some officials, are at a loss as to what to do. Talking about "new quality productivity" is completely high-spirited and vague. I believe they themselves don't even know what "new quality productivity" is. If you look at the articles interpreted by the "People's Daily", including those interpreted by theoretical experts, they all have their own interpretations. No one can really express "new productive forces" clearly. Sometimes they say it is artificial intelligence, and sometimes they say it is technology and innovation. What exactly is "new productivity"? I believe there is no complete explanation until now.

As the epidemic spreads in China, sudden deaths among young adults are frequent
Reporters : Xiong Bin and Zhou Tian / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/03/19/a103863219.html
The epidemic in China continues to spread. People in many places recently disclosed that relatives and friends around them died suddenly, many of them young adults. Recently, some netizens posted about the sudden death of a relative or friend.
On the 14th, the 33-year-old husband of Douyin user "Single Parent Xin'er" died suddenly while running.
Mr. Feng, a citizen of Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, revealed that several people he knew recently died suddenly after having fevers and colds. Everyone knew that it was related to the epidemic.
Mr. Feng, a citizen of Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province: "Several people fell down suddenly and never got up again. Those in their 60s, 50s, and 30s all had nothing wrong with them. They all died suddenly. The doctor came. Just say myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction. Alas! It’s a bit strange, everyone knows what’s going on, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.”
Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Ankang, Shaanxi Province, said that the local epidemic is serious. He was also infected and got pneumonia, but there were no beds in the hospital and he couldn't stay in the hospital. He didn't get better even after going to the hospital for treatment.
Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Ankang, Shaanxi: "It's quite serious. The general respiratory department is full, so I'm nervous. I've been coughing for more than a week, and I had a CT scan. I had pneumonia, and I kept looking at it. The effect was not very obvious, so I just I know two of them were in their 40s and were in pretty good health, but they died suddenly."
Recently, some netizens reported on Xiaohongshu that the discomfort of colds and fevers is more severe than that of COVID-19. However, the outpatient medical records posted showed that it was not influenza A, B, mycoplasma, or COVID-19, but just a common cold. Netizens joked: "This common cold is really unusual." Some netizens commented: "It's probably not a common cold, it's a virus that has evolved."
Mr. Dong, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in Shanghai, told NTDTV on 18 March 2024 that substandard COVID-19 vaccines destroy the body's own immunity, making vaccinated people prone to colds. There is no specific medicine for colds, and the hospital cannot cure it without correct treatment methods. Traditional Chinese medicine can relieve the cold.
Mr. Dong, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in Shanghai: "There are many people with fevers and colds, regardless of age. The hospital can't register them, and there are too many people who have died. I can't talk about it. They have been killed by vaccines and nucleic acid. My heart is broken." There are heart attacks, cerebral infarctions, leukemias, everything. People go to the hospital, and one of them dies after treatment, and the people are also panicking."
A citizen from Taiyuan, Shanxi, whose pseudonym is Wang He, said that his father was hospitalized and he accompanied him in the hospital. He saw that the hospital was overcrowded and the beds were tight.
Wang He (pseudonym), a citizen of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province: "I have been in the hospital for the past two days. Generally speaking, I have been nervous. I have a lot of colds, some of which are severe and white lung. I have passed by the geriatric department, which is quite crowded. We all have recurring colds in our family. It’s not a big problem if you’re in good health. If you’re like me, you’ll be fine, and I haven’t had any vaccinations.”

The direction of control of Congress in the primaries in five states in the United States is attracting attention
Reporter : Ren Hao / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2024/03/19/a103863431.html
On 19 March 2024, five states in the United States held primaries, and California had a special election. As the presidential candidates have been finalized, attention from all walks of life is focused on the competition for congressional seats.
On 19 March 2024, the United States holds bipartisan primaries in Arizona, Illinois, Kansas and Ohio, and Florida is the Republican primary.
Because Democratic candidate Biden and Republican candidate Trump received enough delegates to become candidates last Tuesday, the focus on the 19th will be the congressional elections in three states.
Ohio's two political parties will each select a candidate for U.S. Senate and a total of four candidates for U.S. House of Representatives in districts 2, 6, 9 and 13.
The two Illinois parties will select candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 7th and 12th Districts.
California is holding a special election.
California’s 20th District U.S. Representative, formerly Kevin McCarthy, has held this position since 2007.
In October last year, McCarthy was removed from office as Speaker of the House of Representatives on a motion initiated by members of his own party. At the end of the year he resigned completely.
In this election in California, regardless of party affiliation, the two candidates with the most votes will face off in May. The winner will serve out the remainder of McCarthy's term while building momentum for reelection in November. Now Republican Chinese-American state legislator Vince Fong has a higher voice.
The U.S. Congress is the country's legislative body. It is divided into the House of Representatives and the Senate, each performing its own duties and using a voting mechanism. Therefore, the party with the most seats has more say.
The Senate has 100 seats, 2 from each state, with 6-year terms, and one third is up for election every two years. The House of Representatives has 435 seats, allocated based on the population of each state, and serve 2-year terms. Therefore, in the general election on November 5 this year, if you want to choose the president, you must also choose 34 senators and all representatives of the House of Representatives.
Currently, the Democrats are the majority party in the Senate and the Republicans are the majority party in the House of Representatives. Both parties hope to win more seats in this election.
