Reports on Cai Qi’s Activities Show Unusual Anomalies

Reports on Cai Qi’s Activities Show Unusual Anomalies

China

Recently, official reports on the activities of Cai Qi, one of Xi Jinping’s most important confidants and a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, have shown a clear anomaly: the first paragraph of the reports, which normally highlights the core content, did not mention Xi Jinping. For Cai Qi, whose rise depends on flattery and personal allegiance, this is by no means a minor matter....

Beijing Accelerates a Vicious Cycle: Party and Government Organs in 31 Provinces Receive Bad News

Beijing Accelerates a Vicious Cycle: Party and Government Organs in 31 Provinces Receive Bad News

China

As China’s economy continues to slide downward and local government finances come under comprehensive strain, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has required party and government organs in all 31 provinces to “live frugally.” This has even led to extreme cost-cutting measures, such as schools being unwilling to replace aging equipment and local governments slashing welfare benefits. In stark contrast, however, Beijing’s “covert military assistance” to Russia has never been tightened; instead, it has continued to increase as the Russia–Ukraine war drags on. This has prompted outside observers to...

Are Chinese Tycoons Tempted by Trump’s Gold Card

Are Chinese Tycoons Tempted by Trump’s Gold Card?

China

On December 10, the Trump administration in the United States rolled out a new fast-track visa approval program that grants U.S. permanent residency to foreign nationals willing to pay a “donation” of USD 1 million. This immigration program is known as the Trump Gold Card. Regarding Trump’s Gold Card immigration program, Chinese tycoons hold a variety of differing views, with some even adopting a wait-and-see attitude. Immigration intermediaries point out that due to limited benefits and existing security concerns, the initial enthusiasm has quickly cooled. However, there were earlier reports ...

Choosing Goodness Amid Suffering

Choosing Goodness Amid Suffering

China

At the age of three, he saw his disfigured aunt in a hospital ward, yet did not understand that it was their last meeting; in childhood, he followed his mother and second aunt as they drifted from place to place, evading pursuit; while in school, he was beaten by a teacher for refusing to wear the red scarf, watched by police outside his home, and secretly photographed on the street. These experiences could have pushed a child toward extreme hatred, despair, and isolation. But he chose another path—leaving that suffocating environment, coming to the free world, honing himself step by step at F...

The CCP is in a State of Heightened Agitation Regarding the "US-Taiwan Contacts" Scheduled for 2026, Indicating That the Taiwan Strait is Set to Experience an Extraordinary Year Ahead

China

Recently, the CCP has shown particular sensitivity and tension concerning the relationships between the US and Taiwan, as well as Japan and Taiwan. In various public statements from international relations and the CCP's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it has become common to hear CCP representatives denouncing the United States and Japan....

Japanese Lawmaker Questions CCP’s Live Organ Harvesting in Parliamentary Inquiry, Calls for Curbing Transplant Tourism

Japanese Lawmaker Questions CCP’s Live Organ Harvesting in Parliamentary Inquiry, Calls for Curbing Transplant Tourism

China

Japan’s National Diet focused on China’s human rights issues on Tuesday (December 16). During questioning at the House of Councillors Judicial Affairs Committee, Japanese Conservative Party senator Haruo Kitamura stated that the Chinese Communist Party is suspected of large-scale live organ harvesting from detained individuals. He urged the government to initiate legislation to curb Japanese citizens’ participation in so-called “transplant tourism” at an institutional level, in order to prevent them from unknowingly becoming involved in serious human rights violations....

The CCP’s Evildoing Crowns Jimmy Lai

The CCP’s Evildoing Crowns Jimmy Lai

China

Recently, Jimmy Lai was charged with “inciting subversion of state power.” Three judges designated under the National Security Law—Du Limin, Lee Siu-lan, and Li Yuntong (please remember these three names)—handed down the verdict, finding all charges proven. The case has drawn widespread international attention. The governments of the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as political leaders from many countries, have issued strong condemnations....

Under Xi Jinping’s Rule, Even Drawing a Pig’s Head Can Land You in Prison

Under Xi Jinping’s Rule, Even Drawing a Pig’s Head Can Land You in Prison

China

In the era of Xi Jinping’s rule, the space for speech in China has been compressed to a suffocating degree. A young woman born in the 1990s, Zhang Dongning, was twice thrown into prison on charges of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” simply for using her brush to create a series of “pig-head human-body” comics that satirized social hot issues and current politics, serving a total of two years in prison. This is not an isolated case, but a typical microcosm of this regime’s zero tolerance for dissent: even drawing pigs can lead to jail, fully revealing its fragility and absurdity....

“Decapitation” Rhetoric Continues to Ferment as China–Japan Information War Heats Up

“Decapitation” Rhetoric Continues to Ferment as China–Japan Information War Heats Up

China

In mid-November, Xue Jian, the CCP’s consul general in Osaka, threatened to “decapitate” Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The incident has continued to ferment to this day, with both sides constantly escalating an information war. However, the world is increasingly seeing clearly that the CCP is a source of instability and disaster at both the global and regional levels. The growing passive resistance by many Asian countries against the CCP’s violence and brutality has increasingly drawn global sympathy....

Fighting Japan, the Party Chief Ends Up Reaping Only a Face Full of Loneliness

Fighting Japan, the Party Chief Ends Up Reaping Only a Face Full of Loneliness

China

Dissatisfied with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks about “a Taiwan contingency,” the CCP rolled out its old playbook—inciting the public to launch an anti-Japan movement nationwide, while simultaneously imposing sanctions and economic blockades against Japan—in an attempt to force Sanae Takaichi to submit and admit fault. Japan refused, leading to heightened tensions between the two countries. Contrary to the CCP’s expectations, this anti-Japan movement has so far produced little negative impact on Japan, leaving the CCP to reap only a face full of loneliness....
