Today's focus: Liu Mengxiong, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, recently published a majestic article "The problem lies in the economy, but the root cause lies in politics", which caused a sensation. Why did he bombard Zhongnanhai? Former Taiwanese legislator Wang Shixiong revealed that he went to the mainland for a liver transplant 6 years ago, and the donor was a 28-year-old young man. Its true origin has been questioned.

The background of Liu Mengxiong's bombardment of Zhongnanhai is not simple
Liu Mengxiong, a well-known Hong Kong businessman and former member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, published an article in Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" on 21 August 2023, slamming the CCP for playing politics and ruining the economy. His words were blunt and bold, and he pointed directly at the top leader of the CCP, Xi Jinping, and the CCP system itself: absolute power without checks and balances is the greatest corruption!
At the beginning, Liu Mengxiong said, "Currently China's economy is facing a wave of private enterprise closures, foreign-funded enterprises withdrawing, a sharp decline in investment, a decline in imports and exports, a severe shortage of consumption, a series of debt explosions, large-scale unemployment of employees, and government fiscal and taxation. Blood loss...the three major economic engines of investment, export, and consumption are all underpowered and even 'deadfire'." "Obviously showing the characteristics of deflation." "China Evergrande and Country Garden's two real estate giants are 'indebted to the enemy', which symbolizes the collapse of the entire industry Affecting connected industries into crisis... so that US President Biden exclaimed that China's economic downturn is like a 'time bomb' to the world!"
Then, he quoted a joke circulating in mainland China: "The three new engines of the economy are the National Bureau of Statistics, the Central Propaganda Department, and Xinhua News Agency"; "The only toolbox to save the economy is the trumpet (meaning 'by blowing')!" China Since the reform and opening up in 1978, it has been advancing all the way, why has the situation changed suddenly and declined sharply in a few years? In a word: The problem lies in the economy, but the root cause lies in politics!
Afterwards, he violently bombarded: As we all know, China is the country whose economy is most tied up by politics in the world today!
He began to take stock of the ten-year civil strife during the Cultural Revolution of the Communist Party of China, which brought China's "national economy to the brink of collapse." Landlords, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries, bad elements, and rightists" were decapitated and their citizenship rights were restored; on this basis, at the end of 1978, under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China resolutely suspended the "class struggle as the key link". ", shifted the focus of work to "economic construction as the center", then reform and opening up, and finally after joining the WTO in 2001, it took the express train of economic globalization and became the world's second largest economy.
He pointed out that in the first 30 years of reform and opening up, the country rose steadily, but this year it fell into a downward spiral. The most fundamental reason is politics.
The first major reason is that before the CCP stopped class struggle as the key link and insisted on economic construction as the center, thus liberating the productive forces. However, in recent years, it has strengthened its ideology, insisting that "Marx is right", eliminating private ownership, emphasizing the philosophy of struggle, and abusing the concept of national security and anti-espionage, which has caused foreign businessmen and tourists to hold back from China.
The same is true for anti-corruption. Because of refusing to reform the political system and engaging in anti-corruption campaigns, it is impossible to cultivate a free market economy based on the rule of law, which hampers the development of productive forces.
Second, China’s economic growth in the past was due to insisting on the decisive role of the market, encouraging the development of private enterprises, and protecting the legal rights and personal safety of private entrepreneurs such as Nian Guangjiu, the “fool melon seed”.
However, in recent years, "the state advances and the people retreat", emphasizing that "the party leads everything", and setting up party committees and party branches in private enterprises and foreign enterprises, making private enterprises worry about "the second public-private partnership" at any time; "And so on one after another, making investors panic; in terms of policy, local governments regard private companies as "leeks". Sun Dawu, a famous farmer entrepreneur in Hebei Province, was imprisoned on the charge of Luo Zhi and the huge assets of Dawu Group were auctioned off at a low price! All kinds of unfair treatment have caused private entrepreneurs to "use us is your (CCP's) helpless choice, and destroying us is your (CCP's) lofty ideal!" Therefore, investment confidence is lost, and "RUN (RUN)" is suddenly born !

Liu Mengxiong criticizes the consequences of the Xi Jinping cult
Liu Mengxiong also directly pointed the finger at Xi Jinping, pointing out that the CCP allowed social discussion and independent thinking before, but now, the CCP violates its own regulations of "prohibiting any form of personality cult" and pushes the personality cult to a new peak..... In the officialdom, those who brag and sycophant become popular, while those who are upright, outspoken and capable are reversely eliminated. Anti-scientific arbitrary decision-making is unimpeded, which has caused huge impacts and serious losses on economic operations.
In particular, he cited the three-year eradication of covid virus, and made the scientific issue an "institutional dispute", which caused secondary disasters far greater than the virus itself, and severely damaged China's industrial chain and supply chain. The third big toss after the catastrophe. There is also the flood in Hebei, and the sacrifice of Zhuozhou to protect Xiong'an is a typical "three-point natural disaster and seven-point man-made disaster"! Such an investment environment is chilling.
Fourth, China's economic growth in the past was due to the diplomatic relations between China and the United States being given top priority. Now the war wolf diplomacy, Sino-US relations have fallen to the lowest point since 1972, Sino-European relations, Sino-British relations, Sino-Japanese relations, Sino-Korean relations, Sino-Australian relations, Sino-Canada relations... all have fallen to the bottom of decades!
Advocating "Awesome, my country!" "Win-win means China wins twice", and it is clearly a developing country but wants to "point out the direction for mankind". Especially since the Russo-Ukraine War, it has been pro-Russian and anti-American in essence, which has actually ended the reform and opening up, and returned to the closed country. China's economy has shrunk sharply, the pressure of unemployment has been huge, and the majority of the people have returned to poverty. It is an inevitable trend!
Finally, Liu Mengxiong pointed directly at the root of the CCP system. He quoted Wen Jiabao, the former Premier of the Communist Party of China, as warning: "If the reform of the political system is not carried out, the achievements of the reform of the economic system will be lost, and historical tragedies like the Cultural Revolution may also repeat themselves!"

Liu Mengxiong: Implementing constitutional democracy, freedom of speech, press, etc is the only way to ensure high-speed and high-quality economic development
He said, "It is important to know that absolute power without supervision, restriction, and checks and balances is the greatest absolute corruption! It is also the root of all other corruption." He gave a prescription: political system reform, including the implementation of constitutional democracy, universal suffrage, official property declaration and publicity, judicial independence, freedom of speech and press and public opinion supervision...is the only way to ensure high-speed and high-quality economic development.
It should be said that this article is very powerful and deafening. Liu Mengxiong used to be a successful top Communist businessman, but after 2016, he began to turn to the democrats. In the past two years, he has been deeply introspective. He has written an article "Seven major contradictions must be resolved to protect Hong Kong's one country, two systems", pointing out that the first major contradiction is the contradiction between Marxism's "elimination of private ownership" and one country, two systems. Changes are urgently needed", "The economy can only be saved by diluting ideology", until this time, they simply bombarded Zhongnanhai directly!

Liu Mengxiong pleads for the Chinese
There is no doubt that this is the awakening of a businessman's conscience, and he wants to plead for the people. Just like he quoted Lin Zexu's famous saying in his Facebook introduction, "If you want to benefit the country, you should avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune."

The tone of Lianhe Zaobao towards the CCP has changed
In addition, a very interesting phenomenon is that Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao, which published the article, has always been more pro-Beijing in the past. Why did it dare to pull out the tiger's whiskers this time? What about publicly accusing the CCP?
There is a story behind this. On 24 July 2023, the "Washington Post" published a long article criticizing the CCP for using overseas Chinese as a tool to realize its geopolitical ambitions, while Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" "routinely echoed Beijing's harshest lies."
This long article deeply hurt "Lianhe Zaobao", and a special article was published to refute it. Local readers found that the tone of the newspaper has changed a lot recently.

At present, we do not know whether Singapore will still be ambiguous with the CCP in the future or trying to please both sides.

Taiwan's former legislator revealed to the mainland that the 28-year-old guy donating "fresh liver" was safe
Taiwan's former legislator Wang Shixiong has also become the focus of the media these two days. He was interviewed by Taiwan's "United Daily News" and disclosed a big news.
Wang Shixiong, 62 years old this year, was diagnosed with two tumours in his liver six years ago. On the recommendation of a Taiwanese doctor, he went to mainland China for liver replacement surgery, which cost about NT$8 million (HK$2.04 million). He said it was a "fresh liver" from a 28-year-old. As for the whereabouts of this person, he said that he did not know, and only heard someone say that the liver donor got paid and went to start a business.
He stated that he arrived in Shanghai on 9 July 2017, and started a series of inspections the next day. After the inspection on the second day, he was notified that "the operation can be performed this weekend" and "the matching operation is quite efficient." The liver removal operation was performed in Shandong at 5 am on 16 July 2023, and one-third of the living liver was removed. The surgeon arrived in Shanghai by plane at 7 a.m. and went to Renji Hospital for surgery.
However, from his description, we can actually see that there are at least four doubts about the source of the liver:
First, as we all know, organ transplantation requires type matching, and the probability is very low. He did not have a type match before arriving in Shanghai, and he was notified that he could undergo surgery the next day after the examination. Obviously, there are a group of living people waiting to match him for transplantation. Who are they?
Second, he said that it is a third of the liver, but we have checked all the published papers and official information in China before, except for a few doctors who perform partial liver transplantation between living donors in order to show their skills, almost all of them are full Liver Transplantation. How did that 28-year-old boy have the life to "start a business"?
The third point of doubt is that the CCP authorities expressly stipulate that only organ donations between relatives can be done. Why should a well-known hospital like Shanghai Renji Hospital break the law for the sake of a retired Taiwan legislator?
News (9)
Mystery of the sources of live organs in China
The fourth doubtful point is that China, where only 300,000 people donate livers, far exceeds the number of liver transplants in the United States, where 100 million people donate. There are about 6,000 liver transplants in the United States every year, and the average waiting time is about one year, while the average waiting time in China is more than two weeks. Where do organs come from?
Wang Shixiong also said that during his liver transplant period, Taiwan performed more than 400 liver transplants a year, but Shanghai Renji Hospital performed more than 800 liver transplants a year, and the number of liver transplants in one hospital was twice that of Taiwan as a whole.
There are hundreds of such hospitals in China, each with an astonishing number of transplant beds. For example, the transplant center of Tianjin First Hospital has more than 700 beds, with a bed turnover rate of more than 130%, and each patient stays for 21 to 28 days. According to conservative calculations, this hospital alone has as many as 6,000 to 8,000 cases a year, surpassing the entire United States!

The CCP is still massacring civilians and promoting organ transplants to people overseas
Therefore, behind Wang Shixiong's story, at least two truths are revealed:
First, the CCP is still massacring believers, ethnic minorities, dissidents, and missing students, so it is eager to promote surplus organ sources through various channels, including Taiwanese doctors and some so-called public welfare organizations.
Second, the CCP deliberately promotes organ transplants to political and business people overseas, including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, in order to achieve its political goals by binding special interests.
I found a few examples at random. Huang Zhongsheng, the county magistrate at the front desk, went to Tianjin for liver replacement in 2011. Huang Weijie, director of Kaohsiung Optometry Association, went to mainland China for liver replacement 13 years ago. Accompanied by officials from the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he went to Guangzhou for a kidney transplant...
As for mainland China, there are more senior officials. For example, at the beginning of this year, Gao Zhanxiang, the former executive vice minister of the Ministry of Culture of the Communist Party of China and the former vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, was exposed to death. An official issued a eulogy saying, "Over the years, Gao Zhanxiang has been fighting the disease tenaciously. He has changed a lot of organs on his body. He jokingly claimed that many parts are not his own. However, before the epidemic, he was still hale and hearty. Quick thinking, speaking in a loud voice, he was not like a patient at all."
However, behind the hale and hearty and well-adjusted spirit of these senior officials and rich people, how many young or middle-aged people have disappeared into this world?

Central America Congress political significance is not high. Scholars: Small diplomatic setbacks but little loss
Image : The "Central American Congress" passed Nicaragua's proposal to "exclude Taiwan and include China" on 21 August 2023. Latin American scholars believe that the Central American Congress itself has little political significance. This is indeed a "small setback" in the Republic of China (Taiwan)'s diplomacy, but it is not too big loss. (Picture: Taken from the Facebook of the Central America Congress)
CCP China continues to suppress the Republic of China (Taiwan)'s international space. The Central America Congress (PARLACEN) forcibly passed the "Exclusion of Taiwan and Inclusion of China" case on the 21st local time. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan) expressed the most serious protest yesterday and decided to formally withdraw. In this regard, Latin American scholars believe that the political significance of the Central America Congress itself is not high. This is indeed a "small setback" in the Republic of China's diplomacy, but it is not a big loss.
Gong Guowei, director of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Tamkang University, said in an interview yesterday that Central America was originally where Taiwan's relatively large diplomatic relations were concentrated. However, the CCP’s wooing is not the main reason for the severance of diplomatic relations, but rather depends on how the governments elected by the countries with diplomatic relations view their relations with China. The main reason for the change of diplomatic relations is that they subjectively believe that there is a need to connect with CCP China's economy, or there is a political need (such as Nicaragua), and CCP China can provide better conditions.

Bank of Central America deserves more attention
With regard to the adoption of the "Excludion of Taiwan and Inclusion of China" case by the PARLACEN, Gong Guowei pointed out that due to the poor development of democracy in Central American countries, PARLACEN does not have much effect, and its political significance is not high. The important thing is the Congress of each country. Even though Taiwan is only an observer, participation in the Central America Congress helps to increase international visibility. He bluntly said that this incident can be regarded as a "small setback" for the Republic of China's diplomacy, rather than a big loss. And from the perspective that my country currently has many non-diplomatic countries in Central America, even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has paid attention to it, this development may be a matter of time.
Gong Guowei pointed out that the "Bank of Central America" is the most important institution in the Mesoamerican complex, and it is more worthy of attention. Taiwan is not only a member state, but also the largest shareholder. If Taiwan want to increase capital, the Republic of China is also very supportive based on our emphasis on relations with Central America. Because the Bank of Central America involves money and is a shareholder system, Taiwan cannot be excluded by a show of hands, and the complexity will be much higher than that of the Central American Parliament.

Cannot rule out change in ties with Taiwan if Guatemala became closer with CCP
Regarding the election of the new President Arévalo in the friendly country of Guatemala, and the future direction of Taiwan-Guatemala bilateral relations, Gong Guowei clarified that Arévalo is not a "pro-China faction" and said that he has no plan to sever diplomatic relations with Taiwan. According to Gong Guowei's analysis, in the short to medium term, there should be no problems with the diplomatic relations between Taiwan and Guatemala. However, if the interests of Guatemala and CCP China gradually become closer, the possibility of a change cannot be ruled out. However, the diplomatic turn must also take into account the relationship with the United States. He estimated that after Arévalo came to power, the relationship between Guarantee and the United States would be better than that of the current President Giammatei.

Reuters: CCP China's economic pressure puts Taiwan sidelined
PARLACEN was established in 1991. It is a regional parliamentary organization. Its member states include Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Dominican Republic, and eight observers, including permanent observer Taiwan. Of the six member states, only Guatemala still recognizes Taiwan.
Nicaragua's pro-government "Parliamentary Alliance" proposed to the PARLACEN in June, requesting that Taiwan's Legislative Yuan be revoked as a permanent observer and replaced by the National People's Congress of China. The proposal was voted through at the plenary meeting on the 21st.
The statement of the PARLACEN mentioned that the United Nations revoked Taiwan's membership in 1971 and allowed the People's Republic of China to join. This means that Taiwan is "a province of China" and is no longer eligible to participate in the Central American Congress as an independent country. . Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said yesterday that adhering to the one-China principle is an irresistible trend of the times.
Democratic Senator Kaine, chairman of the Western Hemispheric Affairs Subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Rubio, the top Republican, jointly condemned the vote. They stated in a joint statement that "since 1999, Taiwan has permanent observer of Central America Congress and has been a strong partner in promoting good governance and economic development in the Western Hemisphere," accusing China of undermining democracy, hindering regional development, and making Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region genocide victims of numerous human rights violations.
In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Guatemala, the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China Policy (IPAC), which is composed of more than 170 members of parliament from 18 countries and the European Parliament, and the Latin American Formosa Club The statement stood up. IPAC said in a joint statement that it was disappointed by the withdrawal of Taiwan's permanent observer status, the latest example of Taiwan's exclusion from its legal status in an international organization, continuing a long-running campaign to weaken and ultimately erase Taiwan's diplomatic image.
Currently, Taiwan's diplomatic allies in Central and South America include Belize and Paraguay. However, Reuters reported that U.S. officials believed Paraguay could be the next country to turn to CCP China.

CCP China's diplomatic war suppresses Taiwan. Huang Chongyan: more and more countries choose Taiwan
Reporter : Chen Zhengyu / https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/politics/breakingnews/4405289 /
Image : Huang Chongyan pointed out that because of CCP China's interference in internal affairs or political interference, more and more countries have begun to choose to have deeper exchanges and cooperation with Taiwan. (The picture is provided by Yahoo TV "It's Reasonable") CCP China and the international community continue to suppress Taiwan. On the 21st local time, the Central American Congress (PARLACEN) forcibly passed the "Exclusion of Taiwan and Inclusion of China" proposal proposed by the Nicaraguan party group. Huang Chongyan, Deputy Secretary-General of the Presidential Office, said today (23) that more and more countries have begun to choose to have deeper exchanges and cooperation with Taiwan due to internal interference or political interference caused by Communist China's Belt and Road Initiative, Confucius Institutes, and overseas police stations.
When Huang Chongyan was interviewed by Wang Shiqi, the host of the online program "It's Reasonable", he was asked about CCP China's continued diplomatic efforts to hold Taiwan back.
In this regard, Huang Chongyan responded that there is no doubt that CCP China will continue to do so, but from the perspective of national interests, Taiwan's various efforts will not and cannot be stopped, including more substantive and multi-dimensional cooperation with allies.
He pointed out that CCP China has also pushed to a certain extent. In addition to diplomatic relations with foreign countries, more and more countries have begun to choose to have relations with Taiwan due to internal interference or political interference caused by CCP China's Belt and Road Initiative, Confucius Institutes, and overseas police stations as well as deeper exchanges and cooperation.
Huang Chongyan said that China's suppression or money diplomacy is of course an international reality. Taiwan cannot give up certain principles anyway. Even though former President Ma Ying-jeou's government claimed to have more tacit understanding with Beijing, Gambia also broke off diplomatic relations during Ma's tenure. As long as CCP China does not give up its suppression of the Republic of China, no matter which political party is in power in the future, it will encounter common risks.

Footage of Xi Jinping's trip to South Africa reveals that he falters and closes his eyes many times

Chinese Communist President Xi Jinping departed for Johannesburg, South Africa on 21 August 2023 to attend the annual summit of the "BRICS" from 22 to 27 August 2023. At the forum he participated in, some foreign media PO released pictures of Xi Jinping in the local area. Chinese democracy activist Wang Dan bluntly said after seeing the video, "Xi Jinping's body should have something wrong."
"Free Asia Cantonese RFA Cantonese" released a video on Facebook PO. At the beginning of the video, Xi Jinping came out of the boarding gate and waved to the media and officials below. However, compared with the leaders of other countries, the CCTV news station has fewer stairs. During the talks, Xi Jinping showed fatigue, blinked constantly, and even appeared to be falling asleep on some occasions. Wang Dan pointed out in a Facebook PO post that "Xi Jinping's body should have something wrong."
"Voice of America" reported that Chinese officials have not provided any explanation for Xi Jinping's absence, and Chinese state media did not mention that Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao spoke in place of Xi Jinping in the report. Hua Chunying, spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, did not include Xi Jinping in the photos posted on social media, but said in a post that "President Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the closing ceremony of the 2023 BRICS Business Forum."

On 22 August 2023, the BRICS summit was held in South Africa. Xi Jinping suddenly missed the important speech that night. Later, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying distributed on social media A photo is quite unusual. All kinds of signs have led to speculation. Experts from many countries believe that Xi Jinping's sudden absence is very strange.
Xi Jinping arrived in South Africa for a state visit on the evening of 21 August 2023 local time, and attended the 15th BRICS Summit held in Johannesburg from 22 to 24 August 2023.
Xi Jinping was originally scheduled to attend the business forum of the BRICS summit on the evening of the 22nd and deliver a speech. However, he was absent from the forum suddenly, and temporarily canceled his speech. Instead, Wang Wentao, Minister of Commerce of the Communist Party of China, read out the speech for him. He did not criticize the United States by name.

Although Xi Jinping arrived in South Africa in the evening of 21 August 2023, he did not attend the forum and did not give any explanation, which aroused speculation from all walks of life.
Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" reported that on 22 August 2023, Xi Jinping was unable to attend the BRICS Business Forum held in South Africa, and Wang Wentao read the speech on Xi's behalf. On the same day, Xi Jinping met with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in Pretoria but did not explain Xi Jinping's absence from the BRICS Forum. This news was also accompanied by a video of Wang Wentao speaking in place of Xi.
Bonnie Glaser, director of the Indo-Pacific program at the German Marshall Fund in the United States, said on Twitter, "Is there something wrong with Xi Jinping not appearing at the BRICS Business Forum?"
Jorge Guajardo, the former Mexican ambassador to China, commented that the sudden absence of Xi Jinping, especially in multilateral forums where China is rarely absent, is indeed newsworthy, and if true, there must be something wrong.
Brian Hart, a research fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington think tank, also tweeted that it is strange that Hua Chunying said that Xi Jinping "delivered" a speech but Xi Jinping did not attend the meeting. Commerce Minister Wang Wentao spoke in place of Xi Jinping. Note that this photo was taken from far behind, and without Xi Jinping in it.
Zhang Tianliang, a well-known political commentator, said on the program "Daybreak" on 22 August 2023 that Xi Jinping unexpectedly did not appear at the meeting, and Wang Wentao replaced him to speak. Where did Xi go? What happened? Everything is guesswork. The CCP officials did not give any explanation for Xi's absence, and the CCP's official media reports did not mention that Wang Wentao spoke in place of Xi Jinping.
On 23 August 2023, Hua Chunying, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China, tweeted, “President Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the closing ceremony of the 2023 BRICS Business Forum.” The article also included a photo of the venue, but the photo has no sign of Xi Jinping.

Zhang Tianliang said that the photo posted by Hua Chunying did not make it clear who was on stage. If Xi made a keynote speech, with Hua Chunying's political sensitivity, she would definitely send a picture of Xi Jinping delivering a speech on the podium, instead of a picture in which the face is inexplicably unclear. So when she tweeted, she must know that Xi did not go, and she wanted to help Xi hide something, which had the effect of trying to cover up. Many Chinese people can’t see Twitter if they don’t go over the firewall. Her tweets are mainly aimed at the international community, and she wants to hide something.
According to the relevant schedule of the BRICS summit, Xi Jinping will attend the meeting and deliver a speech on Wednesday (23 August).
As for the reasons why Xi Jinping did not attend, Zhang Tianliang speculated that there are two reasons: one is that Xi suddenly suffered from a physical problem and was unable to speak; If Xi Jinping can show up to speak at the next meeting, it means that there is no problem with his health, and it is likely that something happened in CCP China.
Xi Jinping visited Russia in March 2023, and this trip to South Africa is his second overseas visit this year.

Internal documents exposed, flood discharge was premeditated, sacrificing lives to protect official position
An internal Hebei document that was exposed on August 20 confirmed that the CCP’s flooding of Hebei was based on a detailed plan. At the same time, it was revealed that the officials knew that the flood discharge would cause huge casualties, but they did not inform the people to evacuate in advance because the authorities demanded to keep the disaster situation confidential.
A disaster victim in Hebei: "This house has collapsed like this, what level can it be rated?"
Victims in Hebei: "After the flood, the houses collapsed."
Disaster victims in Hebei: "My home, this can't be fixed."
Victims in Hebei: "After queuing for three and a half hours, (received) two buckets of instant noodles, water, 4 small intestines, and 2 small breads."
Around 31 July 2023, floods were released without warning in many places, instantly flooding the streets, alleys, farmland and cottages in many cities in Hebei. Due to the large amount of water, many villages and towns were completely submerged.
When the flood receded, a large number of dead bodies appeared in various places. Those who survived saw only dilapidated homes. Many people had no water, electricity, food or shelter for a long time.
A newly exposed internal document in Hebei Province confirmed that this was indeed a man-made disaster planned by the authorities. The purpose was to protect Beijing and Xiong'an, but the methods were cruel.
On 29 July 2023, the red-headed document of the Zhuozhou City Government in Hebei Province clearly targeted eight districts under its jurisdiction, including Taoyuan Street, Yihezhuang Town, and Wharf Town, and carried out flood inspections before flood discharge.
On 30 July 2023, the Hebei Provincial Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters issued two documents and convened a meeting to remind Langfang, Baoding, Xingtai and other places that flood storage and detention areas will be activated and floods will be released to these areas.
The document clearly requires that the disaster situation is confidential, and no officials are allowed to disclose the contents of the meeting and documents to the outside world, "to strictly prevent the occurrence of leaks and leaks."
Zhao Lanjian, a Chinese investigative reporter living in the United States, tweeted on the 28th that a Hebei official privately revealed that the upcoming flood “may be bigger than the August 1996 flood. Hebei is temporarily preparing for a flood bigger than 96.8.” ".
In Zhuozhou, 38 villages were flooded in the 1996 flood. Zhao Lanjian's sources confirmed that Hebei officials were well aware of the need to evacuate residents in advance.
However, the document on the 29th stated that if local officials fail to manage floods, they will be "seriously held accountable." Therefore, until most of Zhuozhou's villages and urban areas were completely submerged on August 1, the authorities did not tell any residents to evacuate, lest people block the flood discharge in order to protect their homes.
What is even more cruel is that when a large number of victims were still trapped in the floodwaters and were not rescued, the authorities carried out a second flood discharge to Zhuozhou, causing the highest flood water level to soar to more than 12 meters.
Officials in Hebei kept their jobs at the cost of countless villagers' lives and their families.
Yideng, a disaster victim in Hebei: "A total of four people disappeared (in the flood) and died. Some bodies were not found."

U.S. sanctions CCP officials for forced assimilation of Tibetan children
On Tuesday (22 August 2023), the U.S. State Department said it would impose visa restrictions on some CCP officials because of the large-scale force of children in Tibet by these officials to enter government-sponsored "Boarding school", accepting "forced assimilation".
The U.S. State Department statement announcing the decision also called on Beijing to "end efforts to force Tibetan children into state-run boarding schools and end the policy of forced assimilation," according to Reuters but the statement did not provide details about the incident or name specific officials.
When the Chinese government brought Tibet under its rule in 1951, it promised Tibetans that it would protect the rights and culture of ethnic minorities. However, in the past few decades, the CCP has declared on the surface that it will implement "ethnic regional autonomy" and develop "ethnic culture", but in essence it has spared no effort to destroy Tibetans' religious beliefs and ethnic culture. In Tibet, in the name of "promoting Putonghua", the so-called compulsory assimilation policy of "building a strong sense of community of the Chinese nation" has been implemented.
In recent years, Tibetan human rights organizations and policy researchers have repeatedly called on the international community to pay attention to the policies implemented by the CCP authorities in Tibet in an attempt to exterminate Tibetan culture and race.
According to complaints from Tibetan human rights organizations, the CCP government has set up boarding schools on a large scale in Tibet, requiring Tibetan children to live in boarding schools from the age of 4, teaching pure Chinese in schools, and systematically brainwashing students. The Tibetan language is deliberately marginalized by the government, and students are even banned from speaking Tibetan in schools. At the same time, parents of students are forced to receive Chinese training, and they are required to communicate with their children in Chinese at home.
On 6 February 2023, the official website of the United Nations reported on the cultural cleansing of Tibetan children by the CCP, leading to "assimilation" under the headline "Independent Human Rights Expert Shocked by China's 1 Million Tibetan Children Separated from Their Families and Forced to Assimilate in Boarding Schools." , identity erosion".
In the report, three independent human rights experts introduced the educational content and social environment of Tibetan government-run boarding schools, as well as the expulsion of Tibetan language, culture, and history from schools.
Experts warn: “In recent years, the boarding school system for Tibetan children appears to be a coercive, massive program to assimilate Tibetans into a Han-majority culture, in violation of international human rights standards. Feeling very uneasy."
