The CCP’s Plot to Destroy Humanity Hidden in the Spring Festival Gala

[People News] Even before the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala had ended, netizens were already complaining: flashy and chaotic; politically correct themes taking precedence; too many clowns and low-level humor. Some said, “I forced myself to watch half of it. It used to just lack the flavor of the New Year—now it doesn’t even have a human touch.” Others joked, “Robots were invented to replace me as a beast of burden so I could sing and dance. Now I’m still the beast of burden, and the robots are the ones singing and dancing.”

Many viewers found the robots on stage unsettling, like skeletons dancing and singing. During the most joyful traditional festival of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, is that auspicious? Isn’t it a bad omen for national misfortune in the coming year?

Since last year, robots have appeared dancing on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Soon after last spring, southern China began experiencing floods, which spread to central, northern, and northeastern regions and did not subside until autumn. As a Chinese saying goes, “The beginning of all things foretells fortune or misfortune.” Many worry that this year’s natural disasters and calamities may be no less severe than last year’s—perhaps even worse, claiming more lives.

The CCP’s Scheme to Undermine People Hidden in the Gala

The CCP employs many methods to undermine traditional culture and the moral order between Heaven, Earth, and humanity. One such method is the distortion of traditional Chinese festivals.

China’s traditional festivals embody reverence for Heaven and life, incorporating myths and stories to express gratitude and uphold moral order. For example, the traditional New Year—according to Shuowen Jiezi, the character “nian” (year) means “a great harvest of grains.” After harvest, ancient people thanked the gods for protection through rituals and prayers for favorable weather in the coming year. It became the most important traditional festival for the Chinese people.

The CCP renamed “the first day of the first lunar month” as the “Spring Festival,” replacing family reunion, reverence for Heaven and Earth, and celebration of human bonds with a gala centered on praising the “great, glorious, and correct.” Through subtle indoctrination, this replaces traditional culture. The cultural essence of gratitude toward divine guardians and respect for ancestors is thus removed.

This year’s gala was further “taken over” by robots and AI. Multiple humanoid robots flipped and danced center stage. In branch venues, robots appeared frequently, with lyrics directly mentioning “AI” and “robots.” During the broadcast, organizers introduced six robotics companies providing the machines. These companies simultaneously promoted their products’ functions and technical specifications on social media. Mentions of AI firms appeared repeatedly in the hosts’ announcements and visuals. Radio Free Asia described the gala as resembling an investment fair—dubbed by markets as a “super roadshow stage” for robotics companies.

Mainland outlet Caijing quoted industry insiders saying each robotics company reportedly paid up to 100 million yuan in cooperation fees. The reason: many embodied-intelligence companies are expected to go public this year. Indeed, on the night of the broadcast, several e-commerce platforms began selling “Spring Festival Gala edition” humanoid robots.

Take the Unitree G1, for example—its listed price exceeds 200,000 RMB. Platform data showed related keyword searches tripled after the show aired. A Shanghai robotics market observer told Radio Free Asia: “The Spring Festival Gala is a national-level stage with implicit endorsement. Companies appearing on it are often seen as aligned with national development priorities.”

A Peking University scholar in science policy added: “The CCTV Spring Festival Gala signals policy and national strategy.” He also noted that seemingly civilian technologies can have dual-use military applications—like drones used in the Russia-Ukraine war that began as civilian products before becoming weapons.

A Morgan Stanley report last May indicated China leads in this sector due to strong government backing. In the CCP’s “15th Five-Year Plan” (2026–2030), intelligent technology is identified as a future industry and a key economic growth engine.

In 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued an action plan promoting breakthroughs in humanoid robotics. Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen established special funds to support core components, algorithms, and complete machine development. Public and private capital has poured in, making humanoid robotics a priority across regions.

Robots are not limited to gala stages.

On February 18, People’s Daily prominently reported on the “Haidian New Year Science Temple Fair” held from the third to the seventh day of the lunar new year, themed “Galloping Steeds, AI Celebrates the New Year in Haidian.” The vice chairman of the Haidian Science and Technology Association introduced over 20 robots participating in interactive and educational exhibits.

Why Does the CCP Hate Traditional Festivals?

While technology brings convenience, it also damages the natural and social environment, eroding morality and humanity. It makes people restless, fuels desires, and diminishes compassion.

Five thousand years of Chinese civilization established a top-down value system grounded in Heaven, the divine, and humanity—believing in destiny, karmic retribution, and harmony with the Dao. People lived peacefully under this worldview.

Chinese New Year is just one of many festivals: Lantern Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Ullambana, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and more. Traditionally, the New Year began on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month (Laba), commemorating the enlightenment of the Buddha. The twenty-third day honored the Kitchen God’s ascent to Heaven to report on family conduct.

New Year’s Eve (“Chuxi”) was a day for ancestor and deity worship, hanging couplets, and setting off firecrackers. Today, the CCP bans fireworks in many areas and sometimes restricts couplets under environmental or urban beautification pretexts—effectively stripping away traditional meaning.

Other festivals likewise originate from Daoist, Buddhist, and Confucian traditions—Lantern Festival from the “Shangyuan Festival,” Qingming honoring Jie Zitui, Dragon Boat linked to Qu Yuan or dragon worship, Mid-Autumn to Zhou dynasty moon rituals, Double Ninth symbolizing longevity, and Winter Solstice when emperors worshiped Heaven.

The CCP, under banners of “scientific worship” and “eliminating feudal superstition,” dismisses these core values as “feudal dregs.” Through promoting atheism, evolutionary theory, and politicized scientism—backed by coercion—it advances a philosophy of struggle.

Traditional culture teaches harmony, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and trust. Marxism-Leninism emphasizes violence, revolution, and struggle. The two are fundamentally opposed. Traditional culture constrains authoritarianism through concepts of Heaven and divine order. As long as traditional values exist, people cannot sincerely praise the regime as “great, glorious, and correct.”

From the Cultural Revolution to today’s tech-driven campaigns, the underlying goal remains cultural destruction.

While suppressing traditional festivals, the CCP promotes its own political “holidays”: International Women’s Day, Labor Day, Youth Day, Children’s Day, Party Anniversary, Army Day, National Day—using them to propagate ideology. Some become week-long holidays filled with performances and tourism, appearing festive but detached from traditional reverence for Heaven.

Even when forms remain—like eating tangyuan or promoting family harmony—the substance is hollowed out. Consumerism, desire, and political disruption dilute meaning. Over time, people may associate personal milestones with political holidays, subtly linking life’s joys to CCP commemorations.

The CCP enforces atheism through coercion, leaving today’s moral order sustained only by remnants of traditional values passed down by elders. Without faith, morality is fragile—easily swept away by materialism and hedonism.

Thus, the CCP systematically dismantles Chinese culture from top to bottom. Even if it now superficially embraces tradition for appearance’s sake, its atheism and technological supremacism reveal a deeper agenda that no amount of rhetoric can conceal.
