"Old Goat" disobeys! Zhang Youxia Incident points directly to Xi Jinping's pursuit of a fourth term; Former CIA Analyst reveals Inside Story

Reporter : Wang Duruo / Editor : Zhongkang / https://www.aboluowang.com/2026/0129/2341307.html

Dennis Wilder (@dennisw5), a former CIA China analyst and current senior fellow at Georgetown University, raised a new point of interest in an interview with Bloomberg: the Zhang Youxia case may be directly related to Xi Jinping's pursuit of a fourth term. He described Zhang as a "tough, unyielding old military leader," calling him an "old goat," and emphasized that although Zhang had allied with Xi, he never truly became Xi's subordinate. He also warned that given the CIA's ongoing recruitment advertisements, this incident could lead to more people within the CCP system serving the US.

American commentator Heng He believes this is a milestone in the CCP's collapse. Xi Jinping's power is unchallenged, but his prestige has plummeted. This "power without authority" is extremely dangerous because attacks will come from unpredictable directions, and the extreme concentration of power precisely indicates systemic failure. He bluntly stated that this is the prelude to the dynasty's demise; arresting Zhang Youxia is tantamount to cutting off the last force within the party attempting to stop Xi Jinping and "save the CCP." When reform completely fails, abandoning the CCP becomes the only way out.

Wu Zuolai, a Chinese writer in exile in the United States, analyzed in an article published on Taiwan's Central Broadcasting Corporation that the conflict between Zhang Youxia and Xi Jinping has developed into an irreconcilable one, with its core issues concentrated on six levels. First, regarding the personnel arrangements surrounding the 21st National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping must have complete control over the military, and Zhang Youxia's influence within the military is comparable to Xi's, objectively creating a check and balance and hindering his comprehensive deployment. Second, Zhang Youxia's long-standing refusal to publicly express support for the "Chairman of the Central Military Commission's responsibility system," coupled with the shadow of veterans and reformists behind him, directly threatens Xi Jinping's political security in his view. Third, external events have exacerbated Xi Jinping's fear of "betrayal," worrying about potential defections within the military at crucial moments. Fourth, Zhang Youxia's lack of active cooperation in initiating war contradicts Xi Jinping's will to resolve internal and external crises through war. Fifth, the recent intensive exposure of corruption allegations against the Xi family has made Xi Jinping feel the real risk of being "forced to step down." Sixth, the tightening international environment and increasing pressure for transparency in high-level wealth further amplify his insecurity.

Wu Zuolai concludes that against the backdrop of economic downturn and the potential for martial law, complete control of the military has become Xi Jinping's only means of self-preservation. However, three major uncertainties remain to be seen: Will the military purge trigger a backlash and confrontation? Can Xi Jinping quickly reorganize the top leadership to put the military in a state of war at any time? Will the CCP system accelerate its "North Korean-like" transformation?

Regarding the Zhang Youxia case, Oppose Chinese invasion of Taiwan

Latest news from the military regarding the Zhang Youxia case:

— [Insider Information] There is widespread opposition within the Chinese military to attacking Taiwan

Several sources close to the Chinese military have revealed that there has long been a fundamental disagreement between Xi Jinping and the military regarding whether to use force against Taiwan. Opposition to war within the military is not merely the stance of individual generals, but a highly unified consensus across multiple theater commands and operational systems.

According to an interview with The Epoch Times, a source close to the military stated bluntly: “The military is very clear that conducting exercises to encircle the island is one thing, but a real war is another. Once war breaks out, it will be a drain on the entire service; if things go wrong, an entire branch of the military could be wiped out.” High-ranking military officials generally believe that at this stage, taking high-intensity military action against Taiwan lacks a sustainable strategic foundation.

Mr. Wang, a military personnel from a theater command in southern China, told The Epoch Times that the Russia-Ukraine war has entered its fourth year, with casualties exceeding one million, almost all of whom were ordinary people. “Decision-makers like Putin always remain behind the scenes, but ordinary people lose loved ones. Who wants to fight a war?” He revealed that many officers directly responsible for combat in the military are unwilling to fight. They believe that “unification” is merely a political scheme by certain powerful figures to gain historical fame, or a means to secure military funding, and certainly not the true desire of the vast majority of officers and soldiers.

Several informed sources pointed out that corruption has long existed within the system. In the past, the buying and selling of official positions was open, and the transfer of benefits was widespread. However, the so-called anti-corruption campaign has now been selectively used, gradually evolving into a tool for purging dissent. Taking the investigations of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli as examples, informed sources bluntly stated that the core issue was not corruption, but rather their “unwillingness to endorse the plan to attack Taiwan.”

Another informed source, Mr. Shi, stated that this is a typical “political characterization.” Launching a war requires conscription and wartime centralization of power, which can solidify the power of the top leadership. However, the Central Military Commission is currently in a “semi-paralyzed state,” morale is low, and anti-war sentiment is pervasive. The so-called plan for unification by force simply cannot be pushed forward internally.

Besides the unstable morale within the military, objective logistical capabilities are also insufficient to support a large-scale war. Ms. Lin, a medical worker in Xiamen, Fujian, revealed that the local blood supply has been chronically scarce even in peacetime. "It's not enough even normally; I can't even imagine what it would be like in a war."

Medical personnel in multiple locations confirmed that in the event of a large-scale conflict, demand would multiply, instantly overwhelming grassroots medical systems. Given the aging population and declining willingness to donate blood, even basic daily blood supplies require temporary adjustments, making it impossible to cope with wartime casualties and treatment.

Informed sources agree with US President Trump's assessment that "Xi Jinping wouldn't dare to fight." This isn't out of a love of peace, but rather stems from an extreme fear of regime collapse.

Chinese military scholar Wu Man pointed out that against the backdrop of accumulating internal and external pressures, Xi Jinping's efforts to control the military by purging generals and strengthening political loyalty have only further exacerbated resentment within the military. He rhetorically asked: If the CCP military itself isn't cooperating, and if they were to attack Taiwan, would they let the public security system command the army? Who would they send to fight? "

Colombian plane with VIPs onboard crashed on 28 March 2026

 Report by : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA     Image : Web Screenshot

                     

A serious air disaster struck Colombia on 28 March 2026 when a small plane belonging to the national airline crashed, killing all 15 passengers on board. Subsequent reports indicate that the victims included several political figures and even a congressional election candidate.

According to foreign media reports, a small plane belonging to SATENA, the national airline, went missing during flight in Norte de Santander province in northeastern Colombia on 28 March 2026 and was later confirmed to have crashed in a remote mountainous area. All 15 people on board perished. Subsequent reports indicate that several political figures were on board, including one member of Congress. An investigation into the accident has been launched.

The flight, NSE8849, took off from Cúcuta's Camilo Daza Airport at 11.42 am local time, bound for the mountain town of Ocaña, a flight of approximately 40 minutes. However, the plane lost contact with air traffic control shortly after takeoff. Officials have not yet released the cause of the crash, only stating that a full investigation will be conducted. However, the accident occurred in a remote mountainous area with rugged terrain and poor transportation, increasing the difficulty of search and rescue and investigation.

Among the victims was Congressman Diógenes Quintero, a well-known human rights defender who long spoke out for victims of the Colombian civil war. The airline indicated that several of Quintero's aides were also on board, as was Carlos Salcedo, a candidate for the upcoming March congressional elections. Colombian President Gustavo Petro later posted on social media X, expressing his "deep sorrow" for the accident and extending his condolences to the families of the victims.

Public anticipation of a military mutiny in mainland China

 Direct translation

"Finally, the gunshots have been heard! Nationwide countdown to Xi Jinping's downfall"

—Xi Jinping's erratic behavior fuels public anticipation of a military mutiny

Report by : Xin Gaodi / Editor: Fang Xun / Source: X /  https://www.aboluowang.com/2026/0129/2341058.html

Whether it ultimately proves to be all bark and no bite, or a genuine upheaval, the current undercurrent of anticipation for a military mutiny on the internet clearly indicates that Xi Jinping's rule is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of trust and a erosion of legitimacy.

Since the official announcement of Zhang Youxia's arrest, rumors have been rampant online about large-scale movements within the Chinese military, with multiple army groups converging or advancing towards Beijing. In particular, claims that the 82nd (Baoding), 83rd (Xinxiang), 79th (Liaoyang), and 80th (Weifang) Group Armies, supposedly the main forces, arrived in Beijing and its surrounding areas before January 27th, and that even further afield, the 81st, 78th, 72nd, 73rd, 77th, and 76th Group Armies each dispatched one or two brigades to Beijing by rail or highway, have sparked heated discussions and fervent anticipation among netizens both at home and abroad.

The core narrative of these rumors is that a serious split has emerged within the military, with some army groups no longer solely following the lead of "one man," but instead using various pretexts (including "rescuing Zhang Youxia" or "expressing an attitude") to pressure the capital, aiming to force the Central Guard and other "imperial guards" to abandon their loyalty and "defect" or "surrender" as soon as possible. Netizens interpret this as Xi Jinping having completely lost the support of the military, and the imminent collapse of his regime's legitimacy.

Based on publicly available information and videos and leaks circulating online, since the second half of 2025, there have indeed been several instances of unusual movements of military vehicles and armored vehicle convoys around Beijing, particularly the movements of the 82nd Group Army (formerly the 38th Army, the "Long Live Army") in the Baoding area of ​​Hebei Province. Around the time of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee and other major meetings, similar images of "military vehicles entering Beijing" and "tanks passing through Chang'an Avenue at night" have repeatedly appeared, with overseas self-media and platforms directly linking them to "overthrowing Xi," "military coups," and "coup d'état." Some commentators bluntly stated that Xi Jinping's policies, economic missteps, overreaching anti-corruption campaign, and diplomatic isolation have alienated the military from top to bottom. The resentment among soldiers and lower-ranking officers has been building for a long time, and now they are simply using various pretexts of "going to Beijing" to vent their frustrations and show their allegiance.

Furthermore, netizens expressed this anticipation vividly:

"Finally, the gunfire has begun! Let the bullets fly for a while!"

"Xi's core leadership has long been deserted by his followers. The military isn't stupid; who would be willing to die for one person?"

"With Zhang Youxia down, Xi's faction is collapsing. The whole nation is counting down the days."

"With the military so unpopular, it would be strange if it didn't rebel."

This "anticipation of mutiny" reflects the extreme disappointment and powerlessness of a considerable number of people towards the current system. Long-term information blockade, downward economic pressure, and intensified social control have led many to pin their hopes on the traditional path of "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." Rumors of a "symbolic deployment of troops from a distant army group" and "pressure on the Imperial Guard to surrender as soon as possible" have been interpreted as a tacit understanding within the military of an "anti-Xi coalition," waiting for a trigger or a shot to be fired.

Of course, most of these rumors have not been officially confirmed, and many details contradict each other (such as timing, scale, and purpose). The CCP has remained silent so far, or used excuses like "normal training exercises" and "combat readiness adjustments." But the more the official avoidance, the higher the speculation and emotions among the public rise. Netizens are forwarding videos and screenshots while leaving comments such as, "We'll see in the next few days," and "When the gunshots ring out, it will be a new era."

Whether it ultimately turns out to be all bark and no bite, or a real upheaval, the current undercurrent of "hoping for a military mutiny" on the internet clearly indicates that Xi Jinping's rule is experiencing an unprecedented crisis of trust and legitimacy. Public support is waning, and the morale within the military is unpredictable. When "unpopularity" becomes a consensus in public discussion, any slight disturbance can be amplified into a signal to "oust Xi." This may be the most dangerous and realistic picture of China today.

A quasi-mutiny has emerged within the Chinese military, with insubordination spreading and military orders stalled

Reporter : Wang Duruo / Editor : Zhongkang / https://www.aboluowang.com/2026/0128/2340899.html 

Several sources close to the Chinese military disclosed to The Epoch Times that following the investigations of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, numerous directives from the Central Military Commission (CMC) have faced widespread resistance at the grassroots level. Many officers and soldiers privately questioned why the authorities detained and investigated two long-respected generals, considered "veteran leaders," without publicly disclosing clear evidence.

Mr. Ruan, an insider in the CCP's military and political system, stated that on the 24th, the CMC required all units to "maintain consistency with the Party Central Committee and the CMC" and to conduct study sessions and express their stance, but many localities refused to respond; a reissued document the following day was also met with indifference. A source close to the military bluntly stated, "The orders have been issued, but nobody takes them seriously."

This grassroots resistance is spilling over. In the Eastern Theater Command, some officers and soldiers privately joked about the supreme commander, calling Xi Jinping by his nickname "Baozi" (steamed bun). A military officer's family member said, "When orders are no longer seen as mandatory, war mobilization loses its foundation."

Mr. Hu, a graduate of a military academy, pointed out that this bottom-up resistance is extremely rare, and the current "collective silence" is seen as a direct denial of personal authority, with serious consequences. Military scholar Mr. Yuan analyzed that the Central Military Commission (CMC) currently consists only of Chairman Xi Jinping and Vice Chairman Zhang Shengmin, resulting in an imbalance between civilian and military personnel, making it difficult to effectively command the combat system. The severe blow to the military officer system is seen as disrupting the existing balance and is a key factor in the rapid spread of resistance.

Multiple informed sources warned that if the decision is not adjusted and Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli are not released, the CMC will gradually lose absolute command over approximately 2 million active-duty troops. The shock of Zhang Youxia's arrest is pushing the CCP into a period of high instability, and Xi Jinping faces the most severe military crisis since taking power.

The allegations of Zhang Youxia's nuclear leak confirm Sullivan's meeting with him

The allegations of Zhang Youxia's nuclear leak have taken a sudden turn! They actually confirm this major event

Reporter : Wang Duoruo reports / Editor : Zhongkang / https://www.aboluowang.com/2026/0128/2340904.html

Wei Lingling, chief correspondent for the Wall Street Journal in China, reported on 26 January 2026 (U.S. time) that the CCP accused Zhang Youxia of leaking nuclear weapons secrets to the U.S. The New York Times subsequently revealed on the 27th that in 2024, when Zhang Youxia met with U.S. officials in Beijing, he displayed a confidence considered typical of "Xi Jinping's most trusted military deputy."

Then-U.S. National Security Advisor Sullivan attended the meeting, which lasted at least an hour. He recalled that Zhang Youxia spoke directly and did not seem to need to constantly guess the top leader's thoughts, displaying a high degree of composure and confidence. Sullivan stated that the discussion on the nuclear issue that day was very broad, with about 20 CCP military officers present. He only mentioned nuclear weapons in the context of overall military buildup; Zhang Youxia did not touch on any sensitive content or provide any substantive information. "The nuclear issue was not the focus of the discussion."

U.S. commentator Cai Shenkun revealed on the 27th that Xi Jinping suddenly fell ill during the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in July 2024, and Zhang Youxia immediately assumed full control of the military.

Aboluowang commentator Wang Duran analyzed that Sullivan's meeting with Zhang Youxia took place in August, the month following the Third Plenum. Sullivan's description of Zhang Youxia as "full of ambition," echoing Cai Shenkun's revelations and a series of unusual signs from the military after the Third Plenum, further confirms that the rumours of Xi Jinping's sudden illness during the Third Plenum were not unfounded. From an intelligence perspective, it is unlikely the US would suddenly request a meeting with Zhang Youxia without any certainty. Regardless of whether there were insiders from the CCP's top leadership, this move itself indicates that the US had already judged that Zhang Youxia's status and situation were undergoing a significant change.

Wang Duran observed that looking at the photos of Zhang Youxia before his meeting with Sullivan, his smile was genuine, radiating from the heart, and he was full of vigor. This was not the joy one would feel from a meeting with Sullivan, but the joy of being in control of one's own destiny. However, this joy was shattered by his defeat due to his loyalty to the Party. If he cannot turn the tide, this unprecedented smile will never return. 

Zhang Youxia has called for Xi Jinping to step down and get out and the army rebelled against Xi

Rumours circulate that Zhang Youxia has called for Xi Jinping to step down and get out; the entire army remained silent for 24 hours, raising suspicions of a rebellion

However, by 24 January 2026, only Zhang Shengmin remained among the senior generals swearing the oath; the rest had all fallen from grace. via REUTERS- Pool

A dramatic upheaval has erupted in the CCP political arena. The Wall Street Journal reports that Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission Zhang Youxia is being purged for allegedly leaking nuclear weapons secrets and corruption, with Xi Jinping breaking the unspoken rule of "princelings" to cleanse the military. However, online rumors suggest that Xi's move has been met with "silent resistance" from the entire military, forcing them to negotiate with Zhang Youxia. Zhang rejected the retirement proposal and even challenged Xi Jinping to step down. Beijing is engulfed in a power struggle, and the PLA's combat capabilities may be hollowed out.

The news of Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission Zhang Youxia being purged by Xi Jinping is escalating. A post on the online social media platform X, attributed to Xie Wanjun, revealed that after Xi Jinping ordered the arrests of Zhang Youxia and Chief of the General Staff Liu Zhenli, he unexpectedly encountered a "silent" resistance from the entire military. It is rumoured that within 24 hours of Zhang's arrest, the entire military did not issue any statement supporting the central government, which is considered a tactic of de facto rebellion within the CCP system. The situation forced Xi Jinping to negotiate with the imprisoned Zhang Youxia, offering him the positions of Chairman of the National People's Congress and Chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, or retirement at the level of a state leader, in exchange for his withdrawal from the military. However, Zhang Youxia remained defiant, demanding that Xi Jinping step down and leave China.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) also disclosed an internal official report accusing Zhang Youxia of leaking core technical data of China's nuclear weapons program to the United States, with evidence cited from the testimony of Gu Jun, former general manager of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). The report also accused Zhang of using his position in the Equipment Development Department to accept huge bribes, promote cronies (such as the now-disgraced Li Shangfu), and form cliques to challenge the Chairman of the Central Military Commission's responsibility system. The report analyzes that Xi Jinping's move breaks the unspoken rule that the anti-corruption campaign would not easily touch the "second generation of reds" (princelings) and their long-standing allies, demonstrating that his demand for absolute loyalty to the military has no upper limit, even if it causes short-term unrest within the military.

This purge has resulted in the near "complete destruction" of the CCP's top military command. The report points out that only Zhang Shengmin, with a political work background, remains as an active-duty officer in the Central Military Commission, creating a serious vacuum in the high-level command chain, which will severely damage the PLA's short- and medium-term combat readiness. Other intelligence indicates that the Pentagon has a high opinion of Zhang Youxia, considering him one of the few professional soldiers with military expertise, which may also be one of the triggers for Xi Jinping's suspicion and jealousy.

Currently, the situation in Beijing is chaotic and unclear. There are reports that the Central Committee and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection have transferred more than 50 people to the Military Discipline Inspection Commission, and it is estimated that more than 2,000 officers at the division level and above will face punishment. Rumours also suggest that the CCP has declared martial law and ordered the entire army to remain on standby. Despite attempts by Standing Committee members like Li Qiang and Cai Qi to dissuade Xi Jinping from halting the power struggle, the power play continues. Whether this surprise purge will turn into a failed operation by Xi is a matter of great public concern.

Nipah virus outbreak lasting only 2 days; Wuhan Institute of Viology releases antidote, causing sensation

 Direct translation

Possibly human-to-human transmission, with a skyrocketing mortality rate; outbreak lasting only 48 hours; Wuhan Institute of Virology quickly releases antidote, causing a sensation online

Reporter : Sun Ruihou / Editor : Zhongkang / https://www.aboluowang.com/2026/0128/2340871.html

A shocking Nipah virus outbreak has been reported, with a mortality rate as high as 75%. Hong Kong experts say it may be transmitted from person to person and urge people to avoid a certain delicious beverage. Particularly alarming is that the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology subsequently announced research results on an oral Nipah virus treatment, increasing the survival rate to 66.7%.

A Nipah virus outbreak has recently been confirmed in West Bengal, India. The UK Independent reports that as of 24 January 2026, there have been 5 confirmed cases, including 3 doctors and nurses; two nurses are in critical condition. To prevent further spread, authorities have traced approximately 180 contacts and placed about 100 people in quarantine, including 20 high-risk contacts. Nipah virus is mainly transmitted from bats to humans and is capable of human-to-human transmission, with a mortality rate as high as 40% to 75%, and is listed as a key monitored pathogen by the WHO.

The Polish-based independent Russian media outlet NEXTA TV analyzed that Nipah virus symptoms range from asymptomatic to severe respiratory complications and encephalitis. Currently, there is no vaccine or specific treatment globally; only supportive care can be provided. Taiwan's Juheng.com quoted Dr. Tsui Lok-kin, Director of the Centre for Health Protection of the Hong Kong Department of Health, as saying that the virus can be transmitted through droplets, secretions, and contaminated fruit (especially raw date juice), and may be transmitted from person to person. Experts urge people to avoid drinking raw date juice that has not been heated.

Following the spread of the outbreak in Nipah, Thailand's Ministry of Public Health has implemented airport screening for travelers from India, especially West Bengal, since 25 January 2026, and issued "health alert cards" requiring those who have been in contact with bats, sick animals, or infected individuals in the past 21 days to seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as fever, headache, drowsiness, or seizures. Nepal has also implemented health checks at Tribhuvan International Airport and major border crossings.

Hong Kong's Ming Pao newspaper pointed out that symptoms after infection may be asymptomatic, or may include fever, vomiting, muscle aches, atypical pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, seizures, and encephalitis; about 20% of recovered patients will experience long-term neurological problems. The incubation period is 4 to 14 days, and can be as long as 45 days.

However, the biggest controversy arose on 26 January 2026 when the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, suddenly announced that "a cure for the Nipah virus has been found." The oral nucleoside analog VV116 (deuterium remidevir hydrobromide, already approved for COVID-19 treatment) showed significant antiviral activity against the Nipah virus in vitro and in golden hamster models, increasing the survival rate to 66.7% and significantly reducing viral load. The simultaneous announcement of a breakthrough by the Chinese institute, just as cases of the virus appeared in India, sparked heated online discussions. Many netizens questioned, "The virus just appeared, and the cure was already developed simultaneously?" and "The epidemic had to come into China, otherwise, who would buy the drug?"

The discussion focused on the CCP's transparency and motives, with many drawing parallels to similar "advanced research" during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. After the account @POMTQ posted related questions, a netizen claiming to be a resident of Jimo, Qingdao, Shandong, submitted a post stating that an "unexplained virus" had appeared in the area, with several elderly people dying. Hospitals described it as the common flu, but related images were deleted from Chinese social media, and some people received police warnings, raising further concerns. Aboluowang commentator Wang Duran points out that while the Nipah outbreak itself is dangerous, what is even more alarming is the CCP's "abnormal timing" in its pandemic narrative—the CCP officially announced a "cure" as soon as cases appeared in India, reminiscent of the information asymmetry and deliberate preemptive planning of 2020. The CCP has long used public health as a geopolitical tool, and the synchronized actions of its advanced research institutions and propaganda system pose a greater international security threat than the virus itself.

Wang Duran summarizes it in one sentence: "While the virus is still spreading, the CCP's cure is already on the market—the real danger is the regime manipulating the pandemic."

Brandon Biggs issues strongest warning on another assassination attempt on Trump

"Trump was attacked again, Bullet passes through his body!" Brandon issues strongest warning

—Christian prophet Brandon Biggs issues "the strongest warning from the Lord": calling for prayers for Trump, national and global revival.

Reporter : Sun Ruihou / Editor: Fang Xun / https://www.aboluowang.com/2026/0126/2339728.html

Brandon Biggs, the Christian prophet who previously predicted President Trump's assassination attempt, including a bullet wound to his ear, issued a "strongest warning from the Lord" during a live broadcast on January 24th (US time). He stated that he saw Trump being assassinated again, with the bullet passing through his body.

By 1 pm Beijing time on 25 January 2026h, Brandon's video, a live prayer and prophecy sharing session, had nearly 170,000 views.

He said that the Lord Jesus came to him, saying, "Your president is about to be taken down by an assassin." "Let the church be held accountable for what is about to happen in this country."

Brandon said the Lord told him to let the entire church pray, not just him alone.

He said the Lord revealed that pride had entered Trump's heart. "He opened a door through the counselors of ungodly people, advising him on how to handle the affairs of the nations."

Brandon said he saw an evil spirit poking at Trump's head, influencing his thoughts.

He saw the detailed circumstances of Trump's assassination attempt. He said Trump fell, looking like an aircraft like "Air Force One." He saw a man in the distance, holding a .50 caliber weapon with a large scope. He was wearing a black tracking cap, a black shirt, black trousers, and black combat boots, lying prone on the ground, aiming.

Brandon said that when the incident happened, he saw the bullet pass through his body, almost tearing him apart—the image was horrific.

The Secret Service did not even know what had happened or where to go. They were completely panicked.

Brandon reminded everyone that prayer was necessary. The visions the Lord had shown him were very accurate. He believed in the man's life, his finances, and everything he had seen. He said he had already shared the story with the elders in his church and prayed.

Regarding the perpetrator, Brandon said the man was very far away, militarily trained, and Russian. He also saw French President Macron negotiating and exchanging ideas with him. He saw it was Macron and the Russian government.

He also saw that World War III was about to break out immediately, an unprecedented large-scale war erupting in Europe. This was an immediate retaliation for the president's assassination. The missile bombardment was unprecedented, on a scale no generation had ever seen. This was because Trump had set a precedent: If anything went wrong, there would be immediate and fierce retaliation.

Meanwhile, Brandon also saw Vice President Vance walking through an oak forest. The oak trees were black, bare, and leafless, as if scorched by a volcano or some kind of disaster. The trees were dead. The ground was covered in white snow. He wore a long black overcoat that reached mid-calf. The trees appeared to be of a certain age, and there were at least six or seven of them.

He saw Vance walk through the forest, enter the White House, and sit behind his desk. His wife was pregnant, her belly large, her navel protruding. She stood behind the door, listening to the conversation. His wife wore an Indian-style pink dress with green and yellow embroidery. Mrs. Curry, Eric, acted as Mrs. Vance's spokesperson, giving interviews to the media and repeatedly emphasizing that they were friends; all the media attention was focused on Eric.

Brandon said he also saw Rubio as the second-in-command. The third-in-command was DeSantis. The entire country was in a state of great turmoil. A massive storm is brewing around the White House.

Brendan also stated that Jesus told him, "I've given the church the reins. I've given authority to the church." "They've exalted him as the Savior of America." "Brandon, only I can save America." "I will not give my glory to anyone, not even President Trump." Brandon repeatedly said this was "the strongest warning I've heard from the Lord," and he called on everyone to join in prayer, hoping Trump would survive this ordeal and make the right choice.

Latin America gains another Trump ally Asfura

Bad news for Beijing! He was sworn in as president.

—Reassessing relations with China, Latin America gains another Trump ally

Editor: Fang Xun / Source: RFI  / https://www.aboluowang.com/2026/0128/2340603.html / Image : Honduran President-elect Nasry Asfura was inaugurated in Tegucigalpa. (Reuters - Freddy Rodriguez)

Honduran conservative politician Nasry Asfura was sworn in as president in Congress on 27 January 2026 for a four-year term. His victory, supported by U.S. President Donald Trump, adds another political ally to Trump's list in Latin America. Asfra stated that he would review agreements signed with China after taking office; the Central News Agency reported that he had pledged to restore diplomatic relations with Taiwan if conditions were right.

AFP reported that the 67-year-old Asfura, speaking at his inauguration ceremony in Congress on Tuesday, said he would abide by the constitution and laws and emphasized serving the country.

Asfura, a former construction entrepreneur, served as mayor of the capital, Tegusigaba, from 2014 to 2022. He won the presidential election by a narrow margin in late November last year. Trump publicly supported Asfura before the election and warned that he would cut aid to Hondura if Asfura lost, raising suspicions of US interference in the election.

The election results were delayed by nearly three weeks, during which time the vote counting process was chaotic, plagued by technical problems and allegations of fraud. Asfula ultimately defeated centrist opponent Salvador Naslaya by a narrow margin of approximately 26,000 votes.

With Asfura's rise to power, backed by Trump, Honduras ended four years of left-wing rule. Following conservative or right-wing governments in Chile, Bolivia, Peru, and Argentina, Trump's political influence in Latin America has further expanded.

After his victory, Asfura traveled to the United States, meeting with Secretary of State Rubio and announcing that he was pushing for a free trade agreement between Honduras and the United States. The United States is currently Honduras' largest export market, accounting for approximately 60% of its total exports, and the two sides also plan to strengthen cooperation in the security field.

Domestic politics: While Asfura's party is the largest in Congress, it does not hold an absolute majority. He called on all parties to support his policy agenda and stated that he would not allow political stances or ideologies to cause division.

AFP points out that Asfura's inauguration as President of Honduras comes as the competition for influence between the United States and China in Central America continues.

Under former President Ciomara Castro, Honduras severed ties with Taiwan in 2023 and established diplomatic relations with China. Asfra stated that he will re-examine the agreements signed with China to assess whether they are in Honduras' national interests.

According to economist Castillo, who spoke to AFP, Honduras' imports from China are expected to reach nearly $3 billion in 2024, while exports to China will be less than $40 million, resulting in a severe trade imbalance.

CNA reports that Asfura has pledged to restore diplomatic relations with Taiwan if conditions are right. If this policy is implemented, it could be a major diplomatic setback for China in Central America.

Insider information: Current status of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli

Reporter : Ye Xiaofan / Editor: Fang Zhou / https://www.aboluowang.com/2026/0126/2339913.html

Multiple sources in Beijing revealed that Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli have been secretly detained and are currently held in a high-security location in Changping District, Beijing, in complete isolation, with no contact from the outside world.

According to The Epoch Times, multiple sources indicate that the political characterization of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli is not simply a matter of disciplinary violations or illegal activities, but rather an allegation of "splitting the Central Military Commission," directly impacting the Chairman of the Central Military Commission's responsibility system and the attribution of supreme command. In the current political context within the military, this accusation signifies that the case has been elevated to the highest political level.

"Splitting the Party" and "splitting the Central Committee" are extremely rare political characterizations within the CCP, typically reserved for individuals deemed to pose a substantial threat to the highest power structure. Such characterizations are often not expressed in public documents but take effect directly at the internal disciplinary level, their true meaning needing to be confirmed through subsequent actions. The internal Party treatment of Zhao Ziyang after 1989 serves as a typical precedent.

Informed sources stated that the detention of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli triggered a rapid chain reaction within the military. Several mid- to high-ranking military officers were temporarily ordered to suspend their leave and remain on standby, with some scheduled trips canceled. The military's command, propaganda, and political stance systems were simultaneously tightened, and the overall atmosphere quickly shifted to a state of high tension.

Reports indicate that the various theater commands and services of the Chinese Communist Party have recently been disseminating the so-called "spirit of the Central Military Commission document," the core content of which is an internally extended version of the January 24th editorial in the *PLA Daily*, titled "Resolutely Win the Decisive, Protracted, and Overall War in the Fight Against Corruption in the Military." This document demands that the entire military "maintain a high degree of consistency with the Central Military Commission" in its political stance and actions, and that no deviation be tolerated.

Several military sources pointed out that it is rare in recent military purges for the Central Military Commission's official newspaper to preemptively set the tone and quickly enforce a unified political stance internally, even in the early stages of the case. This suggests that the political characterization of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli has already been determined by the highest levels, and the subsequent investigation is more akin to an execution procedure following a predetermined conclusion.

Analysts point out that Zhang Youxia, 74, is not a typical power contender, but his long-accumulated military connections and personal seniority constitute a kind of "seniority-based influence" that is not entirely dependent on the system. Under the current military system that emphasizes absolute obedience and single command, this type of influence is considered an uncontrollable factor.

With the centenary of the founding of the army and the next Party Congress approaching, taking action against Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli is seen as a crucial step in eliminating the "last variable" in the military. Military insiders generally believe that the core purpose of this move is not simply anti-corruption, but rather to further reduce the space for power struggles within the military by purging senior generals who still wield independent influence, thus clearing obstacles to a highly centralized command system.

News that was expected but not broadcast: Why did Zhang Youxia "disappear" from CCTV's News Broadcast?

Reporter : Luo Tingting / Editor : Fan Ming / https://www.aboluowang.com/2026/0126/2339796.html / A retired senior official revealed that on the day Zhang Youxia, the second-highest-ranking figure in the Chinese military, was arrested, he received a notification requiring him to watch CCTV's "News Broadcast" that evening. However, strangely, CCTV did not broadcast the news of Zhang Youxia's arrest. (Image: Zhang Youxia's file photo. Video screenshot)

Many anomalies have occurred since the arrest of Zhang Youxia, the second-highest-ranking figure in the Chinese military. A retired senior official revealed that on the day of Zhang Youxia's arrest, he received a notification requiring him to watch CCTV's "News Broadcast" that evening. However, strangely, CCTV did not broadcast the news of Zhang Youxia's arrest.

CCTV did not broadcast news of Zhang Youxia's arrest

An article published in the People's Daily on 26 January 2026, authored by "Mei Lingshuang," stated that a retired provincial party committee office director from a certain province revealed that after the Chinese military officially announced the investigation of Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, Chief of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission, in the afternoon of 24 January 2026, their retired senior officials received a notice requiring them to watch CCTV's "News Broadcast" at 7 pm that evening, implying a major announcement was imminent.

However, strangely, the "News Broadcast" that evening did not broadcast the news of Zhang and Liu's investigation.

The following day, CCTV still did not broadcast the news of Zhang and Liu's investigation, only airing excerpts of an editorial in the Military Daily that named Zhang and Liu.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) website deletes announcement of Zhang Youxia's Investigation

Furthermore, the official website of the CCDI, the highest body responsible for internal party discipline review, had followed up with a notice of Zhang and Liu's investigation on the afternoon of the 24th, but immediately deleted it. It was only mentioned in a news release by the Ministry of National Defense spokesperson regarding recent military-related issues and in response to reporters' questions.

The article points out that, logically, after Xi Jinping's unexpected arrest of Zhang Youxia, at this crucial juncture, official and military media should have cheered for Xi to demonstrate their loyalty. However, contrary to expectations, they remained remarkably restrained.

Zhang Youxia's Arrest: Army Commanders refuse to express support

According to sources within the 31st Group Army, Xi Jinping instructed the commanders of each group army to express their support after Zhang Youxia's arrest. However, the commanders generally remained silent, with none willing to be the first to publicly support Zhang Youxia's arrest.

Political commentator Li Linyi stated that after the official announcement of the downfall of two heavyweight military figures, Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, the entire military remained silent, except for an editorial published in the *Military Daily*. This could be interpreted as a change in the authorities' rules, but it also cannot be ruled out that Xi Jinping wanted to quickly de-escalate the Zhang Youxia incident to avoid a backlash from within the military.

Chen Pokong, a senior commentator based in the US, told The Epoch Times that the lack of widespread support within the Chinese military, as seen after the downfall of figures like Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou, suggests that while Xi Jinping and Cai Qi may have mobilized the military, there is skepticism surrounding the matter. He believes discontent has already emerged within the military, with Zhang Youxia's former subordinates potentially seeking information about their old commander's whereabouts or attempting to rescue him. Xi Jinping is on high alert to prevent a military coup.

According to Tang Baiqiao, a US-based pro-democracy activist, on the X platform, he has received information that the Zhang Youxia case is not yet settled. The two sides are currently debating the legality of the arrest. Zhang's family and some of his subordinates have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction and demanded correction. The authorities have halted further action. This is the first time Xi Jinping's absolute authority has been challenged. The probability of an accidental clash is increasing.

Analysis: Top-level power struggle enters real-world showdown; CCP's disintegration countdown begins

Current affairs commentator Zhou Xiaohui analyzes that Xi Jinping's arrest of Politburo members without following normal procedures not only disregards the principle of "collective and unified leadership" reached at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, challenging the Politburo Standing Committee members and other members who agree with and have already implemented this principle, but also sends a dangerous signal that sends chills down the spines of all retired and current high-ranking officials.

Furthermore, Zhang Youxia and his son have cultivated deep roots in the military for many years, with numerous protégés and former subordinates, and countless generals in the military are dissatisfied with Xi. Xi can continuously arrest people, but he struggles to win over the hearts and minds of the people. Moreover, with one high-ranking general after another being purged, the military is also filled with fear; how long can they endure this? A mutiny in the military is not a low-probability event.

Zhou Xiaohui believes that when the top-level power struggle enters a real-world stage, "national disaster" will be inevitable, and the CCP's disintegration will enter its countdown.

Following Zhang Youxia's arrest, military officers resigned en masse

Xi Jinping will go mad! A major event may occur within half a month! Scenes of the shootout to arrest Zhang Youxia exposed

—Shocking revelation: Following Zhang Youxia's arrest, military officers resigned en masse

Editor: Fang Xun Source: Epoch Times /  https://www.aboluowang.com/2026/0126/2339796.html

On 24 January 2026, the announcement of the investigation of Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, Chief of Staff of the Joint Staff Department, ignited public opinion both domestically and internationally. As the incident continues to unfold, various revelations are emerging. According to a retired officer from the 31st Group Army, the PLA descended into chaos after Zhang Youxia's arrest, with officers at the regimental and divisional levels submitting resignations or requests for demobilization.

The officer claimed that a shootout allegedly occurred at the scene of Zhang Youxia's arrest, with the public security forces led by Wang Xiaohong suppressing Zhang Youxia's Snow Leopard Commando unit guards. Currently, the commanders of various group armies refuse to express support for Xi Jinping, and the army is exhibiting a state of "passive resistance." The whistleblower predicts that a major incident may occur within 10 days to half a month.

The veracity of this information cannot be determined at this time.

Current situation in the military

According to Zhen Fei, a current affairs commentator and host of the program "True Viewpoint," on January 25, the aforementioned whistleblower was originally an officer of the 31st Group Army, the same group army that served under Miao Hua and He Weidong. The whistleblower had frequent contact with Miao Hua and He Weidong before their transfers to Beijing and had a relatively good understanding of the internal situation within the military.

The officer revealed that after Zhang Youxia's arrest, the Chinese military was "in chaos." Officers at the regimental and division levels and above were generally shocked—this veteran commander with deep experience could be taken down "easily and in minutes," causing widespread panic. To avoid "getting burned," officers at the regimental and division levels and above submitted their resignations or transfer applications, overwhelming the organizational departments, which had to pass them "up the chain of command."

More seriously, Xi Jinping demanded that the commanders of all group armies express their support, but the commanders generally remained silent. The whistleblower explained that the military values ​​seniority and loyalty, and Zhang Youxia had high prestige within the military; no one was willing to be the first to "defect" and support Xi Jinping. The military generally considered Xi Jinping "too despicable" and "absolutely no authority" within the military.

Two versions of Zhang Youxia's arrest

Regarding the two versions circulating in the market, the whistleblower clearly stated that he preferred the version that "Xi Jinping had planned this for a long time."

The first theory posits that Xi Jinping, while feigning cooperation with Zhang Youxia and other elders, secretly plotted to strike decisively at the opportune moment, taking Zhang down in a surprise attack.

The second theory claims that Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli planned a coup, but were betrayed two hours before the operation. Xi Jinping successfully retaliated, arresting 17 officers.

The whistleblower supports the first theory, believing it to be a "long-planned fatal blow" by Xi Jinping: the police force secretly trained by Wang Xiaohong ultimately suppressed Zhang Youxia's Snow Leopard Commando Unit during the arrest.

Police forces confronting the Snow Leopard Commando Unit at the arrest scene

Regarding the specific details of Zhang Youxia's arrest, the whistleblower offered key analysis. He pointed out that as Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Zhang Youxia was surrounded by at least a company of guards, and these guards were likely from the elite Snow Leopard Commando Unit of the Second Mobile Corps of the Armed Police (Unit 82). Established in 2002, this commando unit is a national-level anti-terrorism special forces unit, ranking among the top five in combat effectiveness within the People's Liberation Army system. The whistleblower concluded that a "fierce battle definitely occurred" at the scene. He analyzed two possibilities:

First, there might have been an inside agent among Zhang Youxia's guards, but he considered this highly unlikely, as these guards were Zhang Youxia's trusted confidants who had risked their lives for him.

Second, the public security forces suppressed the Snow Leopard Commando Unit in the firefight.

He leaned towards the second possibility, believing that Xi Jinping used the Ministry of Public Security's special police force led by Wang Xiaohong. These units specialize in urban arrests, rapid response, and targeted training in assassination and sniper protection, belonging to the "military special operations level." However, this raises a new question: how could the public security forces have remained undetected by Zhang Youxia after long-term clandestine training?

The whistleblower stated that the top-tier Snow Leopard Commando Unit "was actually wiped out by Wang Xiaohong's public security forces," which is unacceptable to the PLA system. He predicted, "Sooner or later, these people will seek revenge and massacre the Ministry of Public Security."

The military is exhibiting a "passive resistance" posture.

The whistleblower described the current chaotic state of the military: high-ranking officers are requesting demobilization or resignation, army commanders are refusing to comment, and the entire military is exhibiting a "passive resistance" posture. He predicted that if this continues, "the entire military will slack off," with everyone "going through the motions, slacking off, and protesting."

Xi Jinping's orders are "completely unenforceable." The whistleblower stated, "Orders are sent down from top to bottom, but the lower levels simply don't respond." At most, they offer perfunctory "humphs and haws." He said, "Now everyone is not going to work." The military's "who's in charge," "what to do," and "whether they're even working" have all become questions.

The whistleblower predicted that Xi Jinping will promote a new batch of "He Weidong and Miao Hua," but "whether these people will listen to him" and "whether they dare to take the positions" are all doubts. He believes Xi Jinping's actions are "extremely despicable"—using Wang Qishan to attack and then removing Wang Qishan, using Zhang Youxia to attack Zhou Yongkang and Xu Caihou and then removing Zhang Youxia himself, a "push and shove" tactic that has led to "no one being able to trust him at all."

The possibility of a military retaliation

Regarding whether the military will retaliate, the whistleblower stated that there is currently "no leader," lacking an organizer and coordinator. He mentioned Zhang Youxia's confidant, the only remaining high-ranking official, Zhang Youming (phonetic), but believes that as a "two-faced person" and a member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, "whether he dares to retaliate" remains questionable.

The whistleblower mentioned Liu Yuan, but believes that "he is most likely also under control." He stated that if a highly respected figure in the military takes the lead, "the entire PLA is very likely to have a major battle with the Ministry of Public Security." He emphasized that people in the military are "very courageous" and will not "swallow their anger" if "the Ministry of Public Security takes them down."

He predicts that "something big will happen" within 10 days to half a month because Xi Jinping "absolutely cannot lead the troops." Ultimately, "it's likely that Xi Jinping himself will go crazy," and "the whole world is waiting to see him make a fool of himself."

Aboluowang commentator Wang Duren analyzed that although the Snow Leopard Commando Unit is indeed a special operations detachment under the Second Mobile Corps (Unit 82) after the Armed Police reform, its mission is limited to counter-terrorism and mobile operations. The personal security of high-ranking officials at the vice-chairman level of the Central Military Commission is solely the responsibility of the Central Security Bureau, and is not undertaken by any Armed Police or Mobile Corps.
