Maduro Captured, Insider Exposed; Rumors Say Xi Summoned Cai Qi and Chen Wenqing Overnight

[People News] Just three days into 2026, CCP leader Xi Jinping was shocked by the sound of explosions orchestrated by the U.S. military in Venezuela, falling into a state of deep anxiety. However, what Xi worries about is not his "die-hard friend," Venezuelan President Maduro, being taken away by the U.S. military. Rather, it is the fact that all of Maduro's movements were known inside out; for him to be accurately located and captured so easily by the U.S. military, an "insider" must have played a decisive role. On the night Maduro was captured, Xi Jinping must have been unable to sleep. Looking around, who can he still trust? Among the people by his side, how many have already been penetrated by the Americans? Into whose hands can he safely entrust his life and death?

Just after 1:00 AM on January 3rd, the night sky over Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, was torn apart by the sound of explosions. U.S. military helicopters swept low over the city center, and Delta Force commandos rushed into a bedroom at a military base, dragging the sleeping Maduro and his wife from their bed. They were handcuffed, blindfolded, and taken to New York to stand trial. The entire process took less than three hours; this time, the U.S. military truly entered as if into an uninhabited land, seizing him just like that.

Trump watched the capture process in real-time from Florida, saying it was "like a TV show." The U.S. special forces went in, U.S. law enforcement went in, and U.S. helicopters flew in swaggeringly—yet despite such a massive commotion, Venezuela’s air defense weapons were not even activated.

What was the reason behind this? Everyone has guessed it: it was because someone in the Venezuelan high command tipped them off. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the U.S. military to know so precisely where Maduro lived, where the underground bunkers were, when the presidential guard shifted, or what the patrol routes were—and they specifically chose the time when it was easiest to succeed.

Even stranger is that during this operation, the U.S. military was able to simultaneously strike more than 20 military targets, while the Venezuelan air defense system was virtually non-existent, leading to suspicions that it had been directly shut down.

The secret is that the CIA used a combination of "amnesty + green card + funds" to bribe officers within the presidential guard, while the Trump administration in 2025 promised a $50 million bounty.

According to Reuters, in August 2025, the CIA sent a special task force into Venezuela specifically to spy on Maduro’s whereabouts.

Informants close to Maduro not only monitored his every move daily but also provided tips during the U.S. military operation, informing the U.S. side of the exact location of Maduro and his wife.

Maduro used to change residences frequently, but on November 21, 2025, he spoke with Trump on the phone for 10 minutes. The U.S. military used the cell phone signal to triangulate and lock onto his hiding place. After this call, the U.S. military built a structure identical to Maduro's residence and repeatedly rehearsed the details of the capture.

The U.S. has currently only publicly acknowledged one informant, but it is estimated that the number of informants planted by the U.S. in Venezuela is far more than just one. It is likely that, like Iran, they have been "penetrated like a sieve." With the president being captured directly, it would be impossible without internal cooperation from the Venezuelan military and the Presidential Palace. With no air defense and armed helicopters striking the "dragon's heart," to put it jokingly, it’s quite possible that everyone except the president had been bought off.

Maduro was betrayed by those around him, and the U.S. caught him as easily as an eagle catching a chick. Can Xi Jinping feel at ease? Xi is naturally a very suspicious person who does not trust even his own confidants; thus, he not only purges opponents but also his own inner circle. He often says "anti-corruption is always on the road" and that not a single day should pass without "turning the blade inward."

According to the self-media personality "You Liao" (The Scoop), following Maduro's capture, Xi Jinping summoned Chen Wenqing, Secretary of the CCP Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Cai Qi, a member of the CCP Standing Committee and Director of the General Office of the Central Committee, overnight.

Chen Wenqing is the former Minister of State Security, and the current Minister is Chen Yixin. The Minister of State Security is essentially the head of the secret police. Why did Xi Jinping summon Chen Wenqing first instead of the current Minister Chen Yixin? "You Liao" analyzes that all these spies and agents operate through single-line contacts; even if two agents walk together, they might not know each other. Compared to Chen Yixin, Chen Wenqing has more seniority in the state security system, so he would be more familiar with the layout of the spy network he established back then.

Cai Qi is in charge of the Central Guard Bureau and is responsible for Xi Jinping's daily security, itinerary arrangements, and personnel screening. He is the "personal bodyguard," knowing everything from Xi’s health status to his family dynamics. The Venezuelan presidential guard that produced the "insider" is similar to the Central Guard Bureau. Cai Qi’s role is equivalent to holding the life and death of Xi Jinping’s entire family in his hands.

It is said that up until now, Chen Wenqing and Cai Qi have not yet emerged [from the meeting], which indicates that over these past day or two, Xi Jinping has been truly terrified. Because Xi does not know who among those around him has been penetrated. Has Chen Wenqing been penetrated? Has Cai Qi been penetrated? Who in the current Central Guard Bureau has been penetrated? This is what Xi Jinping is desperate to know.

How much loyalty do communists really have? How much of the relationship between Cai Qi and Xi Jinping is loyalty, and how much is an exchange of interests? These things directly determine Xi Jinping’s life or death. Therefore, even if Cai Qi were replaced now and a new group of soldiers were brought into Zhongnanhai to serve as the new armed force of the Central Guard Bureau, would it really be useful? In the late era of the CCP, it is a good time to "abandon the darkness and head toward the light." Whoever continues to risk their life for the Communist Party will be the one to die the fastest! △
