The CCP is truly panicking! They're targeting wallets, WeChat accounts, and passports simultaneously
-A trapped beast's last struggle! The CCP's Political and Legal System is reinvestigating old cases! Pursuing People, Pursuing Money, and Blocking Immigration Paths
A whistleblower claims that the CCP's political and legal system is conducting a large-scale "reinvestigation of old cases," focusing on whether investigators accepted bribes to give lenient sentences to serious crimes. The investigation is expanding to include parties involved and those with vested interests. Cases closed years ago may be reopened, and overseas suspects are even being pressured to return to China for trial.
An insider, "Feng Ke," revealed to The Epoch Times that the focus is on investigating cases where bribes were accepted but sentences were lenient. Mr. Zhou, a lawyer from Guangxi, said this is both a crackdown on corruption and the recovery of stolen assets, as well as a purge of the deeply entrenched network of relationships and power-money transactions within the judicial system. Those who have emigrated overseas, whether accomplices or witnesses, will not escape if old cases are reopened. Another insider stated that the external investigation aims to repatriate funds and alleviate financial pressure; the internal purge is to consolidate power, eliminate dissidents, and pave the way for personnel arrangements at the 21st National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Netizens sarcastically commented: "The big corrupt officials arrest the small corrupt officials, making fools praise the big corrupt officials."
According to Mr. Xin, who lives in Europe, the crackdown on officialdom has escalated to investigating WeChat and Weibo posts, and checking whether officials have expressed opposition to Xi Jinping's re-election over the past three years. Many officials are already planning to travel abroad. Professor Zhang, who lives in Australia, also confirmed that Beijing is investigating exchanges of favors, assets, and overseas connections.
On 31 July 2026, the State Council issued Decree No. 841, announcing new regulations that will take effect on 15 September 2026: If public officials and military personnel entrust intermediaries to handle foreign citizenship, permanent residency, or residence permits abroad, the intermediaries are prohibited from accepting their applications, and they must also proactively report such cases. The scope covers almost everyone from civil servants and state-owned enterprise management to village and neighborhood committee members. On 10 August 2026, a blogger relayed that personnel within the system must report their itinerary, accommodation, and meeting partners three months in advance for overseas inspections, with guarantees from their work unit or family members, and must report again upon returning to China; many staff members have had their passports confiscated, and even department-level officials face difficulties traveling abroad.
From investigating old cases and confiscating funds to blocking immigration channels and tightening exit approvals, the CCP is extending its purges from within the country to overseas. This approach of building files, investigating relationships, and scrutinizing speech is strikingly similar to the Yan'an Rectification Movement described in Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party: ostensibly to prevent the outflow of capital and talent, but in reality, it reflects a deep-seated fear of economic crisis, political instability, and officials fleeing abroad. The likely outcome is that it will "shoot itself in the foot," forcing even more people to find ways to leave.
Aboluowang commentator Wang Duran comments: This combination of measures exposes not a lack of control, but rather the fear itself. A truly stable regime does not need to establish authority by investigating old cases or confiscate passports to prevent people from fleeing; rather, it is those in power who feel their foundations are crumbling that simultaneously target officials' wallets, WeChat accounts, and passports. Investigating speech is more telling than investigating accounts: this is no longer anti-corruption, but a test of loyalty. When a system needs fear rather than trust to maintain loyalty, the fear itself accelerates the very collapse it seeks to prevent.
Wang Duran pointed out: The more you fear people running away, the more you force them to want to run away; this is not governance, it is the last struggle of a trapped beast.
