Li Yu: It is said that Wang Yang proposed three conditions to the elders and said he would not take over if they disagreed

Reporter : Li Yu / Editor : Fang Xun / Source: People's Daily / https://www.aboluowang.com/2025/0605/2228643.html

The leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping, has been missing for more than 15 days, and it is rumored that he has lost power.

The elders of the Chinese Communist Party have already introduced a new successor.

Former Vice Premier of the State Council of the Communist Party of China, Wang Yang, was selected to succeed the general secretary.

A self-media person broke the news that Wang Yang proposed three conditions for succession. If he disagreed, he would refuse to accept the mess left by Xi Jinping.

According to overseas self-media, Xi Jinping handed over power under the pressure of the elders.

Zhang Youxia and Hu Wen designated two successors, Wang Yang took over as general secretary and Hu Chunhua took over as prime minister.

Economist Su Xiaohe broke the news in a self-media program that although Wang Yang agreed to take over, he proposed three conditions for succession.

The first condition is to have military power, and to serve as chairman of the Military Commission while serving as general secretary.

Su Xiaohe believes that if there is no military power, Wang Yang will end up like Zhao Ziyang and Hu Yaobang, and he may be ousted at any time.

The second condition is that all people in the diplomatic system must be replaced. Wang Yi and Hua Chunying, who advocate the Wolf Warrior policy, must all be removed and replaced by pro-American people.

The third condition is that the top leaders of the Communist Party of China must reach a great reconciliation and stop hurting each other and persecuting each other.

Su Xiaohe said that this statement made him look at Wang Yang with new eyes.

Any country or political party that moves towards modern civilization must reconcile and cannot fall into a life-and-death struggle.

Many netizens posted comments on this news.

"Whoever takes over such a mess will be unlucky, because he will be blamed in the end."

 "No matter how evil the road is, it is still an evil road. It is useless to change anyone." 

"Lift the ban on political parties and newspapers, and carry out political system reform. "

 "Reconciliation is a joke, it is nothing more than muddying the waters. " 

"Is it possible to reconcile within the party? Every high-level family has great selfishness and is fighting to carve up the fat meat of mainland China. Who is willing to let go when interests are at stake? The philosophy of the Communist Party is the philosophy of struggle. It is their heirloom. How can we not fight?" 

"How to reconcile with June 4th? How to reconcile with Falun Gong? How to reconcile with the 80 million Chinese compatriots who died unjustly?" 

Observers believe that the three conditions proposed by Wang Yang do not require political system reform, and it seems that China's prospects will not be optimistic. If the dictatorship system is not changed and the CCP is not disintegrated, there will be no hope for China. Even if the Communist Party is willing to review, it will be nothing in the end. The book "Nine Commentaries" wrote: "The lesson of history is: Any promise of the Communist Party cannot be believed, and any guarantee will not be fulfilled."

Whoever believes in the Communist Party on any issue will lose his life on that issue.

" Wang Yang and Xi Jinping are not of the same kind. Wang Yang, who came from the civilian class, gave people the impression of being shrewd, outgoing, and open-minded in the officialdom of the Communist Party of China, and also gave people the impression that he was "not of the same kind as Xi Jinping."

In October 2007, at the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, 52-year-old Wang Yang and Li Keqiang were promoted to become the youngest members of the Politburo of that session.

At the end of the same year, Wang Yang was transferred from Chongqing to the position of Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee.

During his five years as Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee from 2007 to 2012, Wang Yang laid the foundation for his image as a liberal faction.

Wang Yang vigorously implemented the policy of "emptying the cage and replacing the bird" in the industry in Guangdong Province, and Guangdong instead introduced high-tech enterprises to settle in, which was considered the key to Guangdong's industrial transformation.

A major landmark event during Wang Yang's tenure in Guangdong was the use of gentle means to quell the "Wukan Incident" that shocked China and the world in 2012.

This originated from the protest of 10,000 people in Wukan Village by the village officials who violated the rights of villagers. Under Wang Yang's instructions, it was finally quelled by re-election of the village committee.

Afterwards, he bluntly said that the re-election of the Wukan Village Committee was carried out in accordance with the law, "without any innovation", and corrected the phenomenon of "going through the motions" in the past elections.

In addition, when Wang Yang was in charge of Guangdong, he formed a "cake theory" that contradicted that of Bo Xilai, who was in charge of Chongqing. Wang Yang advocated development first and then distribution, which was "cake making faction", while Bo Xilai advocated distribution first and then development, which was "cake distribution faction".

Since then, Wang Yang's reputation as a "liberal" has spread like wildfire, and his overseas reputation has risen greatly. It is said that he has attracted rumors that conservative elders in the party have objections to him.

At the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Wang Yang failed to "enter the Standing Committee" as expected by the outside world but he became the third vice premier of the State Council in charge of agriculture, poverty alleviation, and commerce.

At the 20th CPC National Congress, most people believed that Wang Yang had the highest voice to succeed Li Keqiang, and Hu Chunhua and Han Zheng both had opportunities.

Li Qiang and Ding Xuexiang had weaker qualifications but they were considered to be Xi Jinping's confidants.

In the end, Wang Yang and Hu Chunhua were both kicked out, and Li Qiang took over as prime minister.

No mention of Xi's job title in Xinhua's news flash on Trump-Xi phone call

Xi Jinping was abducted as the president of the country? Xinhua News Agency officially reported the irrefutable evidence

—Trump-Xi phone call: Party media report only 14 words, no mention of Xi's job title

On 5 June 2025, the CCP mouthpiece reported a news flash about the call between Trump and Xi, which only had 14 words and did not mention Xi's title. (Webpage screenshot)

At a time of tension between the United States and China, U.S. President Trump had a phone call with Xi Jinping. The party media news flash only reported 14 words and only wrote Xi Jinping's name, without giving him any title.

At 8.50 pm Beijing time on 5 June 2025, the party media Xinhua News Agency issued a news flash, the text of which simply copied the title: "Xinhua News Agency News: Xi Jinping had a phone call with U.S. President Trump." If "Xinhua News Agency News" is removed, the entire report has only 14 words.

In the entire news flash, no title was added to Xi Jinping. Compared with the call between Trump and Xi on 17 January 2025, the news flash issued by Xinhua News Agency at that time only had one sentence, but the content mentioned the time of the call and wrote Xi's title "President of the State".

A few minutes after the news flash without a title was released, Xinhua News Agency issued another report, adding the time of the call and Xi's title.

This report does not have the word "breaking news", which seems to be an official report, but it still has only one sentence and does not mention any content of the conversation between the two people, which is also quite strange.

At present, the U.S.-China trade negotiations have reached a deadlock and relations are tense. The outside world is concerned that the theme of the call between Trump and Xi may be bilateral trade but some analysts pointed out that Xi Jinping may have lost his decision-making power in the internal struggle of the Communist Party of China.

Prior to this, Belarusian President Lukashenko visited Beijing from 2 to 4 June 2025, and the Belarusian official media repeatedly emphasized that he would meet with Xi Jinping but the Communist Party of China’s party media and officials kept silent. It was not until 4 June 2025 that Xi Jinping met with Lukashenko, and contrary to the norm, the two met in Zhongnanhai, and not in Xi’s office.

The Belarusian official emphasized that Lukashenko’s visit this time was "not a working visit, nor a formal state visit, but a special visit for a family-style friendly lunch." The outside world interpreted this as possibly indicating that Xi Jinping did not meet with foreign heads of state on a "formal state visit" as the top leader of the Communist Party of China.

The military newspaper replaced Xi Jinping the protagonist and secretly cursed him while CCTV highlights Zhang Youxia's actual control of military power

Reporter : Sun Ruihou / Editor: Zhongkang / https://www.aboluowang.com/2025/0605/2228901.html

Looking through the reports in the People's Daily, I found that there had been no reports about Xi Jinping on its front page for three days from the 2nd to the 4th. Xi Jinping is invisible in the official media of the Chinese Communist Party. If there is no problem with the official media, then there is a problem with Xi Jinping.

Since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in July last year, there have been rumors online that Zhang Youxia, the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, has taken control of the military. The CPC’s military newspaper has also frequently released abnormal signals.

On June 1, the Liberation Army Daily published an article entitled "Advocating the Virtue of Loyalty to the Party", which is very mysterious. In the past, if loyalty was mentioned, it would definitely be written about loyalty to Xi Jinping, "Xi Jinping, Chairman of the Central Military Commission, is the commander-in-chief of the entire army." But this time, only "Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era" was mentioned.

This time, the protagonist of the article is not Xi Jinping, but Deng Xiaoping. The article says "the entire army should learn from their spirit of loyalty to the party."

In this regard, commentator Jiang Feng commented: "It is obvious that the military newspaper used Deng Xiaoping to pressure Xi Jinping, secretly cursing: Even Deng Xiaoping, a veteran, must be loyal to the party. What virtue do you have, Xi Jinping, to be above the party and ask everyone to be loyal to you personally?"

Commentator Li Yanming wrote in the Epoch Times that while Xi Jinping's direct line of generals in the military were being deeply purged, signs of Zhang Youxia, the vice chairman of the Military Commission, strengthening his control over the military power continued to emerge.

After Miao Hua was dismissed, there were signs that Zhang Youxia's forces had begun to take over the military political work system. The 7th "National Self-improvement Model and Advanced Disability Assistance Commendation Conference" of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing on May 16, and Zhang Shengmin, member of the Central Military Commission and secretary of the Military Commission's Discipline Inspection Commission, attended on behalf of the military.

Commentator Tang Jingyuan pointed out that the affairs of the disabled are usually managed by the political work department in the military system. "Zhang Shengmin attended on behalf of the military, which means that he has been in charge of the Political Work Department, and it is not ruled out that he has officially served as the director."

Zhang Shengmin and Zhang Youxia have a close relationship, and both are from the Shaanxi Gang. Zhang Shengmin is considered to be Zhang Youxia's confidant.

However, some commentators believe that the rumors that Xi Jinping's power has fallen into the hands of others are not credible. Commentator Wang Jian analyzed that the fall of power requires an opportunity, that is, a coup within the Communist Party of China. Xi Jinping has been in power for 13 years, and he is very good at seizing power. "Although Xi's power has been weakened, his base is still there." Therefore, Wang Jian believes that it is unlikely to happen.

Zhongnanhai is going to reveal its true colours! Is it publicly confirmed that something big has happened to Xi Jinping?

On 3 June 2025, 51-year-old Lu Dongliang was appointed as the acting governor of Shanxi Province, becoming the second "post-70s" provincial government leader of the Communist Party of China after Zhejiang's Liu Jie, and the youngest provincial governor-level official at present. What is more noteworthy is Lu Dongliang's identity behind him: the son-in-law of Guo Shengkun, the former secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China, according to the anti-communist Internet celebrity Jiang Wangzheng. Guo Shengkun was revealed to be the cousin of Zeng Qinghong, a Jiang faction leader. This is what commentator Li Muyang said, "According to reliable sources, Guo Shengkun is Zeng Qinghong's cousin."

Lu Dongliang's career has been rapid. He was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee at the end of May, and was promoted to acting governor just a few days later, replacing Jin Xiangjun who was investigated in April. Some analysts believe that in the system of the Communist Party of China that emphasizes factional background, Lu's rapid rise to power is due to the political protection of Guo Shengkun and Zeng Qinghong, which is a typical "nepotism promotion."

Li Muyang pointed out that Lu Dongliang's appointment also indirectly confirmed that the CPC did hold a Politburo meeting in May, but the unusual thing was that the party media did not report on it. He pointed out that if the CPC's top leaders make ministerial-level personnel adjustments, it is usually decided by the Politburo meeting. Lu Dongliang's promotion this time, as well as Zhou Ji's appointment as director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Zheng Yanxiong's dismissal on May 31, are all very likely the results of the decision of the meeting.

But the key is: Such a level of Politburo meeting, but there is no report from Xinhua News Agency and People's Daily, which is very abnormal. Not only that, there has been no news about Xi Jinping on the front page of People's Daily for three consecutive days, which is extremely rare in the internal propaganda mechanism of the CPC.

Li Muyang pointed out directly: People's Daily's "eliminating Xi" for several days, in conjunction with the silencing of the Politburo meeting and a series of personnel reshuffles, may send a signal - Xi Jinping is really in trouble and is no longer as powerful as before.

Some observers warned that the frequent personnel changes in the top leadership of the CPC and the cover-up by the official media may be a prelude to the reorganization of power within Zhongnanhai. The obvious rise of Guo Shengkun and Zeng Qinghong's people has further intensified the speculation that Xi has lost power.

Trump has given Taiwan a guarantee and Hegseth has announced it to the world

Facing devastating consequences! The CCP’s ultimate goal is over! Trump has given Taiwan a guarantee

—Beijing will face devastating consequences! Trump has given Taiwan a guarantee and announced it to the world

Reporter : Wang Duruo / Editor : Li Dongqi / https://www.aboluowang.com/2025/0601/2226670.html / Image : Web Screenshot

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a tough speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on 31 May 2025, focusing on the CCP's threat to Taiwan. It was the first time in the history of the Shangri-La Dialogue that the CCP was characterized as "Communist China". The Wall Street Journal pointed out that this was the toughest statement Hegseth had made on the Taiwan issue so far, which was tantamount to a promise that the United States would provide defense support if the CCP tried to "conquer" Taiwan. Hegseth said fiercely, "To be clear, any attempt by Communist China to conquer Taiwan by force will have devastating consequences for the Indo-Pacific region and the world. We will not sugarcoat the peace. The CCP's threat is real and may be imminent." He reiterated President Trump's position, saying that "Communist China will not invade Taiwan during Trump's tenure," and emphasized that the United States will build an "indestructible deterrent line" with its allies to prevent war and ensure peace at a high cost.

Hegseth mentioned the absence of Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun during his speech, saying: "The United States is here, but someone is not." The Chinese Communist Party did not send Defense Minister Dong Jun to attend this time. Only Hu Gangfeng, vice president of the National Defense University, led a delegation, which was the lowest level in nearly 20 years.

Hegseth said that the Chinese Communist Party "is indeed ready to use military force to change the balance of power in the Indo-Pacific" and warned the Chinese Communist Party to build artificial islands in the South China Sea, develop hypersonic weapons and cyber attack capabilities. Hegseth said: "Xi has ordered his army to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan in 2027. (The People's Liberation Army) is building the necessary troops and training every day to conduct exercises for the real (attack on Taiwan)." He urged Indo-Pacific countries to increase military spending and follow NATO allies to spend 5% of GDP on defense, emphasizing that the network of allies is a key strategic advantage for the United States.

Hegseth said that the United States is working to achieve this goal in three aspects: Improving the forward force posture of the U.S. Department of Defense, helping allies and partners strengthen their defense capabilities, and rebuilding the defense industrial base of the United States and its allies. He also said that the United States does not seek conflict but will not be driven out of the Indo-Pacific region, nor will it allow its allies to be coerced. At the end of his speech, Hegseth emphasized that those who desire peace must be prepared for war, warning that the threat is imminent and time is running out.

Hegseth's tough remarks have sparked controversy. The Chinese Communist Embassy in Singapore responded that Hegseth's remarks were "full of provocation and provocation", pointing out that the United States is the "troublemaker" for regional peace. Hegseth emphasized that the United States seeks cooperation based on common interests rather than imposing ideology or pressuring allies. He said that the Trump administration welcomes traditional and non-traditional allies and breaks away from the limitations of past policies.

Indo-Pacific countries have long sought a balance between the United States and China. The Chinese Communist Party is their main trading partner but there are contradictions on issues such as the South China Sea, and national security needs the protection of the United States. Hegseth warned that economic dependence on the Chinese Communist Party will deepen its malignant influence and complicate defense decisions.

The strategy of encircling the CCP with 40 countries has taken shape

The US Defense Minister made a shocking statement at the Shangri-La Dialogue, shocking the audience and making the top CCP leaders wary

—Bad news for Zhongnanhai! The US Secretary of Defense named "Communist China" for the first time at the Shangri-La Dialogue, and the strategy of encircling the CCP with 40 countries has taken shape

Reporter : Wang Duruo / Editor : Zhongkang / https://www.aboluowang.com/2025/0531/2226613.html / Image : Web Screenshot

The 22nd Shangri-La Dialogue opened in Singapore on 30 May 2025. The US strategic layout in the Indo-Pacific has been upgraded and has become the biggest focus of the meeting. For the first time in the history of the Shangri-La Dialogue, U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth publicly named "Communist China" at the International Security Summit, vowing to rebuild regional deterrence and join forces with more than 40 countries to curb the expansion of the Chinese Communist Party, which shocked the audience.

Hegseth took the lead in holding talks with Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles and defense ministers of ASEAN countries on Friday, emphasizing that the United States will enhance collective defense capabilities by strengthening alliance relations and "curbing communist China's aggression in the Indo-Pacific region."

He clearly pointed out: "We are committed to fighting side by side with our allies to jointly deal with those forces that threaten the free and open Indo-Pacific region. Only by uniting and showing strength can we restore stability and deterrence."

For the first time in more than a decade, the US Secretary of Defense directly named "Communist China" at the Shangri-La Dialogue, which shocked the international security community. Associate Professor Zhuang Jiaying of the National University of Singapore pointed out that the U.S. intends to convey its long-term commitment to the stability of the Indo-Pacific and warns against any "unilateral change of the status quo".

At the same time, U.S. Air Force Secretary Troy E. Meink also emphasized at the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony on Thursday that the Indo-Pacific will be a strategic focus in the next few years. The US military has reshaped its layout, and its core tasks are "homeland defense" and "deterring the CCP".

Although Zhou Bo, a Chinese scholar and researcher at the Center for Strategic and Security Studies of Tsinghua University who participated in the 12th Shangri-La Dialogue, tried to downplay the US language, saying it was "ideologically charged", the actual actions of the US side were more firm and clear: first, it clearly stated that the risk of war was rising, and second, it sent a signal to Indo-Pacific countries that the CCP is no longer just a competitor, but a clear threat.

The CCP has long relied on divisive diplomacy and military exercises to intimidate and maintain its regional strategic advantage. Now the US has joined forces with more than 40 defense ministers to discuss countermeasures, which is a systematic countermeasure to the CCP's plot and a key sign of the Trump administration's strategic shift. Although Zhongnanhai did not respond directly, judging from the diplomatic tone and official media trends, Beijing's top leaders are extremely wary of "the U.S. Secretary of Defense naming".

This Shangri-La Dialogue has become a watershed in the strategic situation between the United States and China. Global military experts generally believe that the United States will no longer tolerate, but will officially sound the global alarm against the CCP's "red empire ambitions".

After 55, try to avoid these five places

 Direct translation

"After 55, you won't stay in these five places for long": After 55, try to avoid these five places

Editor : Zhao Li / Source: EQ Academy / https://www.aboluowang.com/2025/0602/2227236.html

When you are fifty-five, you have gone through half of your life. The wisdom at this time is not to "go to the ends of the earth", but to know how to "avoid pitfalls and go around obstacles".

Some places are lively when you are young, but you have no choice when you are middle-aged. Going there at this age will hurt your mind and money at best, and damage your health at worst.

Go to the following five places as little as possible, so that your life can be more peaceful and stable.

1. Classmates' reunion: In the field of comparison, contentment is the most difficult

Classmates' reunion was originally a warm place to reminisce about youth, but now it has changed.

At the dinner table, you compare who earns more, and at the drinking party, you compete to see who can get along well. Even pensions can be used as a topic of conversation.

When you are young, you can laugh it off, but after fifty-five, you are exhausted physically and mentally and can no longer withstand this undercurrent of comparison.

Why bother yourself with other people's glory?

Real old friends should have been scattered in daily greetings.

Instead of forcing yourself to smile at the wine table, it is better to invite a few close friends to drink tea and play chess, and talk about the fun of your grandchildren.

Being content with what you have is the most decent thing you should maintain at this age.

2. Newly renovated confined space: invisible poison is the most harmful

Newly renovated shopping malls, newly delivered real estate and even renovated houses at home may seem bright and beautiful but they are actually hidden dangers.

"Invisible killers" such as formaldehyde and benzene may only cause dizziness for young people but for middle-aged and elderly people with reduced immunity, they may induce asthma at the mildest and cause cancer at the worst.

Don't rush to be a "human purifier". Ventilate for half a year before moving in; if you smell a pungent smell while shopping, cover your mouth and nose and walk quickly.

Health is not a gamble. After the age of 55, every breath is worth taking seriously.

3. Places of right and wrong: Gossip is like a knife, it is better to avoid it

Gossip circles in the pavilions of the community, rumor distribution centers in the vegetable market...

These places of right and wrong are lively on the surface, but they are traps.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. A gossip may get you involved in neighborhood disputes or even lawsuits.

At this age, you should have learned to "play dumb".

Don't get involved in other people's family affairs, and ignore rumors.

Leave time for growing flowers and plants, reading and practicing calligraphy. Only when your ears are quiet can you live a bright life.

4. Crowded "Internet celebrity places": The excitement is for others but the risks are for yourself

Holiday attractions, promotional supermarkets, Internet celebrity check-in spots...

There are too many hidden dangers in crowded places: stampede risks, thieves waiting for opportunities, and it is difficult to seek help for sudden illnesses.

You can still join in the fun when you are young, but after the age of fifty-five, your body can't stand the tossing.

Shopping for groceries avoids the morning rush hour, traveling only in the off-season, and walking only in the park near home.

Less crowded, more calm, this is the wise choice after middle age.

5. High-risk entertainment venues: Heart-beating games, can't afford to play

Ski resorts, bungee platforms, roller coasters... These exciting projects make young people scream, but may make middle-aged and elderly people "shudder".

Bones become brittle, blood pressure is unstable, a fall or shock, mild hospitalization, severe paralysis.

Want to exercise? Tai Chi in the park, fishing by the river, square dancing, which one is not better than adventure?

After the age of 55, stability is more important than excitement.

Conclusion: The second half of life is about "clear-headedness"

Fifty-five is not the end, but a new starting point.

Staying away from places that consume the body and mind is not retreat, but sobriety; choosing a life that suits you is not cowardice, but transparency.

Remember: the live fish in the vegetable market is fresher than the wine party, the nagging of the old partner is more heartwarming than gossip, and the laughter of the grandchildren is more pleasant than comparison.

Leave time for the people and things that are really important, and the blessings of the second half of life will naturally continue.

After all, living comfortably after the age of 55 is better than anything else.

Chinese per capita spending shrinks, exposing economic difficulties

Chinese per capita spending shrinks during Dragon Boat Festival, exposing economic difficulties

Reporters : Li Yun and Qiu Yue / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2025/06/04/a103993055.html / Image of a closed trading shop in China : Gan Yung Chyan

Data released by the Chinese Communist Party show that during the three-day Dragon Boat Festival this year, the number of Chinese people traveling increased, but per capita consumption decreased compared with last year. Experts analyzed that this exposed a large structural problem in China's economy.

The Chinese Communist Party's Culture and Tourism Bureau released statistics on Tuesday (3 June 2025). During the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday, 119 million people traveled domestically across the country, a year-on-year increase of 5.7%.

However, China's per capita consumption fell year-on-year. According to Epoch Times calculations, per capita consumption was about 359 yuan, a decrease of about 2.1% compared with 366 yuan during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, and also lower than the consumption level of about 410 yuan before the epidemic in 2019.

Yu Weixiong, an economist at the Anderson Forecast Center at the University of California, said, "This is a manifestation of the great structural problems of the Chinese economy. The per capita consumption of Chinese people accounts for only about 30 to 40 percent of the entire GDP, while the average country is 60 to 70 percent. This means that China has a serious imbalance problem."

After the epidemic, China's economy deteriorated, people's wealth shrank, and life pressure increased. Consumers have emerged to save money by not buying, buying less, and buying slowly.

Yu Weixiong: "China's economy is now in a serious late stage of asset bubble. Ordinary people will save money if they have financial planning. Therefore, the government must propose a lot of stimulating policies to stimulate families and give them more security and income, so that they can slowly solve the difficulties of the Chinese economy."

China's Caixin Manufacturing PMI in May, released on 3 June 2025, fell to 48.3, the lowest since September 2022.

American economist David Huang: "The PMI boom-bust line falling below 50% is a signal of a technical decline in the manufacturing boom and a structural stall. From a technical perspective, both exports and domestic demand have weakened in the short term. On the external demand side, due to high interest rates, weak orders from Europe and the United States, and tariffs, export companies are facing geopolitical and tariff pressures. On the domestic demand side, the domestic real estate market has not stabilized, the private economy lacks investment confidence, taxes are too high, and social security is too low, resulting in contraction of upstream and downstream orders. From a structural perspective, the wild growth of the securities and financial industries in the past has hollowed out a large amount of the real economy, making it difficult for the entire PMI to stabilize."

The shrinking PMI value comes at a time when the U.S.-China trade friction is intensifying. As exports continue to decline, the employment situation has become more severe.

Doubts about Xi Jinping's meeting with Lukashenko, Xi is doomed

Translation, editing : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA

Xi Jinping has been out of sight for half a month and rarely appeared. His meeting with the Belarusian president is full of doubts

Editor : Wen Bin / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2025/06/04/a103992876.html / Image : Photo of Tiananmen Square in front of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. (Mark Ralston/AFP via Getty Images)

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."
