Beijing Earthquake False Alarm: Xiaomi TV Testing Reflects CCP's Concerns

[People News] On the evening of June 23, numerous Xiaomi TV users in Beijing and its surrounding areas received earthquake warning notifications, claiming that a "5.0 magnitude earthquake occurred in Haidian District" and that it "has already reached a certain location," accompanied by a loud alarm. Shortly thereafter, the official earthquake bureau of the CCP announced that no earthquake had occurred in Beijing. Following this, Xiaomi TV issued an apology, explaining that it was a "misoperation during testing," which ignited widespread public discussion.

While the "false alarm" is certainly frustrating, a particularly important question arises: why did Xiaomi TV conduct such a test? It is evident that Xiaomi TV would not initiate such a test without a valid reason, and it is likely that the order came from a specific department within the CCP.

Recall the National Earthquake Bureau Directors' Meeting held from January 7 to 8 this year. Wang Kun, the secretary and director of the China Earthquake Administration, mentioned in his speech that earthquake management should "accelerate the transformation of governance models towards preemptive prevention" and focus on "preventing major earthquakes and disasters." Such statements suggest that the CCP authorities are preparing for an inevitable major earthquake and disaster at some point, and providing a few seconds of advance warning to the public is part of that preparation. Therefore, it is not surprising that tests are being conducted on televisions, mobile phones, and other devices.

During this earthquake bureau directors' meeting, directors from the Yunnan Provincial Earthquake Bureau, Shandong Provincial Earthquake Bureau, Hainan Provincial Earthquake Bureau, and Baotou City Earthquake Bureau all delivered speeches. Most of these regions have experienced frequent earthquakes in recent years. So, why is Beijing, which does not appear to be an earthquake-prone area, implementing such preventive measures?

Recent data indicate that northern China is home to two major earthquake belts. The first is the Tanlu Fault Zone, which stretches 2,400 kilometers, beginning in the northern part of Jiujiang, Jiangxi. It crosses through Anhui, Jiangsu, and Shandong, passes through the Bohai Sea, and extends into Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang. Notably, Tancheng experienced an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.5 in the past.

Another seismic zone is the North China Seismic Zone, which encompasses all or parts of the regions in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Jiangsu, and Anhui.

In recent years, these two seismic zones have experienced a high frequency of earthquakes, accompanied by signs such as springs unexpectedly erupting in the 'Four Provinces of Mountains and Rivers', hot water surfacing from underground, erratic crow flights, animal migrations, and unusual phenomena in the sky. For instance, Hebei Province, located near Beijing, serves as a notable example.

In 2025, Hebei experienced a series of earthquakes, including: on December 10, a 2.3 magnitude earthquake occurred in Tangshan, located over 180 kilometers from Beijing; on December 2, a 2.4 magnitude earthquake struck Qinhuangdao, more than 290 kilometers from the capital; on October 25, a 2.1 magnitude earthquake hit Zhangjiakou; on October 10, a 2.3 magnitude earthquake was recorded in Langfang, just 55 kilometers from Beijing; on October 4, a 2.5 magnitude earthquake occurred in Qinhuangdao; on August 28, a 2.9 magnitude earthquake struck Qinhuangdao; on August 12, a 3.1 magnitude earthquake was reported in Zhangjiakou; on July 9, a 3.4 magnitude earthquake hit Zhangjiakou; on June 2, a 2.5 magnitude earthquake occurred in Lulong County, Qinhuangdao; on May 30, a 3.2 magnitude earthquake struck Tangshan; on May 16, a 2.3 magnitude earthquake was recorded in Ningjin County, Xingtai; on April 8, a 3.7 magnitude earthquake hit Tangshan; on April 5, a 2.2 magnitude earthquake occurred in Yongqing County, Langfang; on March 30, a 2.8 magnitude earthquake struck Kuancheng County, Chengde; on March 28, a 2.5 magnitude earthquake was reported in Tangshan; on March 27, a 2.8 magnitude earthquake hit Cang County, Cangzhou. Additionally, a 2.2 magnitude earthquake occurred in Yongqing County, Langfang, on March 26, shortly after 1 AM. A 4.2 magnitude earthquake struck Yongqing County, Langfang, followed by five aftershocks that were felt in Beijing. Furthermore, some netizens reported hearing terrifying rumbling sounds before the earthquake.

Furthermore, by the end of 2025, the spring water at the source of the Jialu River in Zhengzhou, Henan, which had been dry for over thirty years, suddenly re-emerged, gushing forth hundreds of tons of warm water at nearly 30°C per hour, moving some elderly onlookers to tears; concurrently, the water level of the Baotu Spring in Jinan, Shandong, surpassed 30.32 meters, marking a new high in nearly 60 years; the groundwater at Meihua Spring in Shandong also surged dramatically. In Baoding, Hebei, a spring that had been dry for half a century reappeared, drawing thousands of spectators daily; in Xingtai, the Baiquan Spring roared like thunder, expanding its water area by nearly a thousand acres. Additionally, in Qinxian, Changzhi, Shanxi Province, underground hot water at 70 degrees suddenly erupted, and an old spring in Mentougou, Beijing, which had been dry for 40 years, unexpectedly gushed forth...

Historically, Hebei has also experienced significant earthquakes, including the 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Xingtai, Hebei, in 1966, the 6.3 magnitude earthquake in Hejian, Hebei, in 1967, and the 7.8 magnitude Tangshan earthquake in July 1976.

Reports indicate that as early as December 2005, the Geophysical Exploration Center of the China Earthquake Administration conducted 22 artificial seismic source excitation observations in the Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei regions between December of that year and January of the following year, with nine of these observations taking place in the Beijing area—specifically five in Tongzhou, three in Shunyi, and one in Yanqing. Such observations are evidently conducted annually. If the results indicate increased crustal activity and a heightened probability of major earthquakes in recent years, would the senior leadership of the Communist Party and relevant departments be unaware of this?

This provides a rationale for the earthquake early warning tests being conducted in Beijing. Undoubtedly, if a catastrophic earthquake were to occur, leading to significant casualties, the already fragile regime would be unable to withstand the immense anger from both within and outside the system.

So, why could a significant earthquake occur in Hebei and Beijing? On the surface, experts explain that it is due to their location on the North China seismic belt. However, from the viewpoint of ancient people, earthquakes were seen as warnings from heaven to the rulers, signaling that the subjects harbored treacherous intentions and that the regime was unstable. In recent years, the frequent earthquakes and various anomalies across the country have served as a clear message that heaven can no longer tolerate the misdeeds of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Do the remaining conscientious high-ranking officials within the CCP truly wish to see the party meet its demise?
