Although the political environment has changed dramatically since Mao’s time, the “Three Magic Weapons” remain central to how the CCP understands power, legitimacy, and survival. In the 21st century, these tools have been modernized — but not abandoned.
"This morning, it felt like the sky had fallen!" This is how many Chinese small and medium-sized business owners lamented after US President Donald Trump announced the "Liberation Day" tariffs. What do Trump's latest tariff policies truly mean for China's economy and the Chinese Communist regime?
Though the CCP has prepared for the worst, a war in the Taiwan Strait as a desperate last stand, how will it respond to Trump's efforts in Europe, Russia, Iran?
Much like a frog slowly boiling, China's current system is nearing its breaking point. Will Xi's rule and the Communist Party's vast machinery survive 2025?
A petition demanding Xi Jinping's resignation was sent to a US-based economist. The Chinese army published articles opposing his one-man rule. What's happening?
Since taking on leadership roles in the party, government, and military, Comrade Xi Jinping has exhibited numerous serious problems and grave shortcomings, which have caused significant harm to the country, its people, and the entire party:
The Chinese president's assertion of "100 years of unprecedented changes" may be materializing. This time, however, the upheaval seems to be centered around Xi Jinping himself.
Worries about Xi's health might be premature but they raise interesting "what if" questions. Would the lack of agreed succession throw the CCP into disarray?
In China where information is scarce, every rumor and news pattern detail is noted, especially when the CCP is opaque about a succession plan for Xi Jinping.
During June 17-19, Xi Jinping was in Shaanxi Province to convene the political work conference of the CCP's Military Commission. He traveled on his private, special train, and his train number is : CR400AF-2151.
A lot of people now believe that China's economy is entering — or has entered — a depression. However, would anyone believe it if someone proposed a theory that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was creating this situation intentionally?
Could this be the first black swan event for China in 2024? While New Year's Day 2024 was hardly over, there came an explosive piece of news.
Xi Jinping became aware of this situation at the end of October of last year. After learning about it, he took three actions.
Previously, people often said that Xi Jinping wanted to initiate a second Cultural Revolution, returning to the era of a planned economy. However, few explored how many ordinary people were actually calling for another Cultural Revolution too.
2024 was originally to be a crucial window for the CCP's so-called "reunification with Taiwan," but predictions are that mounting problems could interfere.
The second-generation Reds of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have collectively rebelled, aiming to form a new party to overthrow Xi Jinping's rule. This marks the most significant political crisis faced by Xi Jinping since he came to power.
So, here's the first members and donors-only early access show, which is my prediction of what could happen in China in 2024.
However, internal information from the CCP indicates that Xi Jinping's determination to take Taiwan has not changed, and this determination will not be affected by the economic downturn in China because he has other ways to solve the funding problem for attacking Taiwan.
Should war break out, the PAFDs could immediately serve as conscription agencies, even turning employees of state-owned enterprises directly into regular troops or militia forces to be deployed in warfare.
With the cremation of his body, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authorities are forcibly seeking to quell this shockwave. Some lament that Li's passing marks the end of an era. But does it also herald the beginning of another?
