Xi Jinping, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, who has been out of sight for half a month, rarely appeared on 4 June 2025 and met with Belarusian President Lukashenko. It is worth noting that the meeting place and meeting method of the two sides are very different from the past, and Xi's accompanying personnel lack Cai Qi, which has attracted attention.
Meeting place changed, Xi called it "the first time"
The Chinese Communist Party media Xinhua News Agency said that in the morning of 4 June 2025, Xi Jinping met with Belarusian President Lukashenko in Zhongnanhai but Xinhua News Agency did not specify the specific location of the meeting between the two sides.
Looking back at previous reports from Xinhua News Agency, on 4 December 2023, Xi Jinping met with Lukashenko in Beijing at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is an important place for Chinese leaders to hold state affairs and foreign affairs activities, mainly receiving foreign heads of state, heads of government and important foreign guests.
Zhongnanhai is the office seat of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. It is unknown why Xi Jinping met with Lukashenko in Zhongnanhai this time instead of the previous meeting place Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
According to the Belarusian National News Agency (BelTA), Xi Jinping said when meeting with Lukashenko, "My office is next door. This is the first time I have received you here."
Xi Jinping's identity is in doubt, and the details of the "family-style" meeting are exposed.
BelTA was the first to release the news of the meeting between the two sides that day, saying that Lukashenko and Xi Jinping "held a working meeting in the form of a tea party, and then the two heads of state held a one-on-one meeting. A friendly lunch was held afterwards."
It is worth noting that the BelTA report disclosed the details of the meeting that the Chinese Xinhua News Agency did not report.
According to BelTA, Belarusian First Deputy Prime Minister Nikolay Snopkov emphasized the "special form" of President Lukashenko's visit to China during an interview with reporters in China. He said: "Formal talks are just a supplementary link. The key is the visit itself - this (form of communication) has never been used by any other leader in the world. This is a family-style friendly lunch, which is the core." Snopkov emphasized, "This is not a working visit, nor a formal state visit, but a special visit for a family-style friendly lunch."
From the above information revealed by the First Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus, this meeting between Xi Jinping and Lukashenko has been greatly downgraded. This is just a "family-style" meeting. Xi Jinping did not meet with foreign heads of state on a "formal state visit" as the highest leader of China. Xi Jinping's expression is tense and his eyes are dull while Cai Qi disappears.
In the initial report of the CCP party media Xinhua News Agency, there was only a brief text, and no photo of Xi Jinping and Lukashenko was published. In the photos that were later reissued, it can be seen that Xi Jinping's expression was tense and his eyes were dull, which was completely different from the last time he met Lukashenko in Beijing.
According to the photos previously published by the CCP official media, when Xi Jinping met Lukashenko in Beijing last time (2023), he was smiling and looking straight ahead.
In addition, in recent years, when Xi met with Lukashenko, whether in Beijing or in international occasions, he was accompanied by Cai Qi, director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, and Wang Yi, the CCP Foreign Minister. However, according to official media reports, only Wang Yi attended the meeting this time, and Cai Qi disappeared.
Since Xi Jinping appeared in Luoyang, Henan, on 20 May 2025, he has not appeared in public for half a month, triggering various speculations from the public. His "family gathering" meeting with Lukashenko this time seems to have further confirmed the rumours that he has lost power.
Recently, The Epoch Times learned from an authoritative source that Xi Jinping is still in power on the surface, but in fact the situation is over. CCP veteran Wen Jiabao, First Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission Zhang Youxia and others have become key factors influencing China's political situation.
Sources indicate that Xi Jinping has begun to lose power since April last year. Although Xi has fought back several times and even used guns, they all ended in failure. Now Xi is just cooperating in the play, doing whatever he is told to do.
Trump's midnight post has a profound meaning. Xi Jinping is doomed

Gordon Chang, an expert on China issues at a conservative think tank in the United States, recently told the media that something may have happened inside the CCP, and the CCP leader may have lost power.
On Wednesday, President Trump posted a message saying that it is difficult to reach an agreement with Xi Jinping, and the signal released behind it is intriguing.
In the early hours of Wednesday morning, Eastern Time, U.S. President Trump posted on a social platform that Xi Jinping, the CCP leader, is "very troublesome and it is extremely difficult to reach an agreement." Trump's rare statement has aroused attention as to whether it indicates that U.S.-China relations are once again in a tense situation.
The day before, White House spokesman Levitt said that the Trump administration is actively monitoring whether China is complying with the Geneva trade agreement, and Trump and Xi Jinping will talk soon.
White House spokesman Levitt: "Government officials continue to communicate and contact with their Chinese counterparts. Talks between the leaders of the United States and China are about to begin, and we will inform you of the latest situation as soon as possible."
However, American conservative think tank expert Gordon Chang pointed out in an interview with Fox TV on 2 June 2025 that this is a delaying strategy of China. He is skeptical about whether Trump and Xi can talk.
Gordon Chang also said that President Trump suspended the plan of high tariffs on China because of concerns about problems within China but the problem is that the power of the leader of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping, has fallen into the hands of others, which also means that he has lost the power to deal with the United States.
Wu Zuolai, a Chinese scholar living in the United States: "It was after Xi Jinping had a physical condition at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee last year that he no longer had the core status. He only has a position and certain power but he does not have the absolute decision-making power of the core before the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee last year. The power of the one has been lost, and the power has been decentralized within the system, and it is subject to strong internal checks and balances. This is certain, we can all see it, and all the changes can be seen."
Last year, it was reported that the leader Xi had lost his military power. Our station recently received news from authoritative sources that an unprecedented political tsunami is brewing in Zhongnanhai. Although Xi Jinping is still in power on the surface, the situation is actually over.
Last month, the United States and China reached a temporary trade agreement in Geneva, and the trade and tariff disputes between the two sides were paused. However, President Trump recently publicly condemned the CCP for violating the agreement reached by the United States and China in Geneva.
Analysts believe that the CCP has always been inconsistent, untrustworthy, and regards the United States as an enemy. The United States cannot change the CCP's strategic thinking by simply relying on economic sanctions or dialogue. The Trump administration should adopt political strategies to completely disintegrate the CCP.
Wu Zuolai: "Now Trump is desperately trying to talk to Xi Jinping. There are also two forces behind Xi Jinping. If he confronts Trump in an extreme way, Trump will use a more powerful economic weapon, or even other means, political means such as supporting Taiwan independence, which will force the CCP regime to have a greater division, or enter a greater crisis or disaster state."
