Xi Jinping's Remarks on Disaster Relief in Shanghai Spark Outrage in Guangxi

Floods Raging: Why Has Xi Jinping Never Visited the Scene? (Video)

[People News] On July 15, Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping presented a display of approachability in Shanghai prior to the World Artificial Intelligence Conference. He visited the Xincun residential area in Huangpu District for an inspection and research, where he once again made a series of grandiose and off-putting statements, such as 'considering what the masses think and being concerned about what they are anxious about,' 'committing to long-term efforts to address the concerns of the public one by one, continuously improving the well-being of the people,' and 'dedicating oneself to doing good, practical, and problem-solving work for residents.'

Moreover, Xi touched on sensitive topics, urging various regions and relevant parties to 'closely monitor rainfall, flood conditions, and typhoon situations... effectively implement flood prevention, disaster relief, and emergency rescue efforts, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.'

How will the residents of severely affected areas like Guangxi, Guizhou, Hebei, and Sichuan react to Xi's statements? Are they not filled with anger?

Taiwan's TVBS News Network reported that on July 12, some Chinese citizens, frustrated with the lackluster and bureaucratic response to the Guangxi flood disaster, expressed their outrage by writing radical slogans in red on a bathroom door, including 'Xi Jinping step down,' 'Where were you during the Guangxi flood disaster?' and 'Communist Party XXX,' directly voicing their anger towards the authoritarian regime of the CCP.

Indeed, if Xi Jinping and the Communist Party genuinely "consider what the masses think and are concerned about their anxieties," and if they truly "dedicate themselves to doing good for residents, addressing practical issues, and solving difficult problems," then why has there not been a single instance of advance notice to the public before floodwaters were released in various regions? Why has the Communist Party's response to the floods been so sluggish? Why are they hindering grassroots rescue efforts? Why have Xi and Li Qiang not personally visited the disaster areas to oversee rescue operations? Why do hundreds of thousands of people in the affected areas still lack access to clean drinking water and food? Why are the actual death toll figures being hidden?...

Consider the images captured by civilians showing submerged villages, the thousands of teachers and students in Guigang trapped by floodwaters without food or water, and the many helpless, tearful disaster victims. Yet, not a single official from the Communist Party, including Xi and Li, has expressed any sorrow or guilt; instead, they continue to make grandiose statements, attempting to enhance their image.

And where is the evidence of Xi's "deep concern and care for the disaster-stricken masses", in the words of Zhang Guoqing, the Vice Premier sent by Xi and Li to the disaster area in Guangxi? Words without tangible action are merely performative.

It is evident that in the Communist Party's narrative, the common people have never been their primary concern. However, whether the Communist Party is willing to acknowledge it or not, the increasing occurrence of disasters serves as a significant signal of the impending end of the Communist Party's reign.

From the Xia Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, as they approached their downfall, natural disasters became more frequent compared to their earlier and mid-stages, with some occurring quite often and lasting for extended periods.

For instance, during the tumultuous historical period of the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin dynasties, there were a total of sixty droughts, fifty-six floods, fifty-four wind disasters, fifty-three earthquakes, thirty-five hail disasters, seventeen epidemics, fourteen locust plagues, thirteen famines, and two occurrences each of frost and snow, as well as earthquakes.

In the late Sui Dynasty, Shandong and Henan faced severe flooding that submerged over forty counties, followed shortly by outbreaks of disease. The Shandong region was particularly hard hit. In the final years of the Sui Dynasty, epidemics spread in the Guanzhong area, alongside droughts. The late Tang Dynasty also witnessed significant outbreaks of epidemics and droughts leading to its downfall.

During the final years of the Qing Dynasty, the last ancient dynasty, epidemics were alarmingly frequent. In the 34th year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign, there were epidemics in 19 out of 34 years, and in the 3rd year of the Xuantong Emperor's reign, there were epidemics in 2 out of 3 years. The primary diseases at that time included cholera, plague, and malaria. In 1902, cholera erupted in the Beijing-Tianjin area, leading to countless fatalities, with reports indicating that 'some died in an instant, while others succumbed within half a day.' That same year, severe cholera also struck Aihun in Heilongjiang, and half a month later, 'the market was desolate, and the streets were nearly empty,' with daily deaths reaching seven to eight hundred. In 1910, the plague spread to some areas within the Great Wall in Northeast China, resulting in a significant death toll.

In contemporary China, disasters such as plagues, earthquakes, floods, droughts, windstorms, and hailstorms occur with alarming frequency. Additionally, unusual phenomena like blood-red skies, blood rivers, purple lightning, purple skies, the Yangtze River flowing backwards, and ancient trees breaking are unprecedented.

These various calamities and phenomena serve as increasingly severe warnings from heaven. Ancient Chinese wisdom teaches that natural disasters and human misfortunes are closely intertwined; when a ruler or regime neglects virtue and governance, heaven will unleash disasters. If such rulers or regimes fail to repent, their ultimate fate will be destruction, as history has already shown.
