If Zhang Youxia Followed Zhang Guotao’s Path, Would the Outcome Be the Same?
After Xi Jinping removed Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, reporting by military and state media again shifted tone. Xi has once more become the central figure in coverage, and top Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials have increased their public expressions of loyalty to him. Mentions of the “collective, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee” have become rare. Amid continuing instability, Xi’s foremost goal is to secure the military’s loyalty. Therefore, reviving the theme of “politically building the military” is unsurprising. Over the past year or more, when Zhang Youxia was effect...

“God Is Communicating With Us” — Shen Yun’s 33 Shows in Taiwan Completely Sold Out
“It gave me tremendous spiritual nourishment!” On the afternoon of February 8, 2026, the U.S.-based Shen Yun New Era Company once again played to a full house in its third performance at Taichung Chungshan Hall in Taiwan. This performance was also the New Era Company’s final show in Taiwan for 2026. Some audience members said they “hope more people will be able to see this performance.” Others said Shen Yun is worth “treasuring in one’s heart,” and is a form of “respect and reverence for Chinese culture.” They described Shen Yun artists as “living art,” saying they are “works of art created wi...

Is the Future Dangerous for CMC Vice Chairman Zhang Shengmin?
On February 6, when Xi Jinping attended a New Year cultural performance to慰问 retired military cadres in Beijing, the only Central Military Commission (CMC) leader accompanying him was Vice Chairman Zhang Shengmin. The 20th CMC, personally formed by Xi in 2022, originally had seven members. Now, aside from Xi, only Zhang Shengmin remains. Vice chairmen Zhang Youxia and He Weidong, and CMC members Li Shangfu, Miao Hua, and Liu Zhenli have all been removed. One by one, those closest to Xi in the CMC have been purged by Xi himself. Now Zhang Shengmin is the closest man to Xi — what will become of ...

From “Hand-Craft Economy” to “Hand-Crafted 5nm Chips”: Xi Jinping’s Endless Meme Supply
Recently, a new buzzword has taken off inside China’s internet sphere: “hand-craft economy.” Note — this does not mean traditional handicrafts. The term “hand-craft” originally came from gaming culture, referring to completing difficult actions manually without shortcut keys, plug-ins, or assistive tools. With the rise of AI technology, many young people now use artificial intelligence to help them create projects or complete tasks using only manual effort or simple tools....

This stark contrast, in the Party’s words, is not an economic cover-up but “developmental tension,” not structural failure but “institutional superiority.”...
Military Commission Revises Disciplinary Punishment Rules
Since Zhang Youxia was abruptly arrested, the CCP political arena has appeared calm on the surface, but in reality undercurrents are surging. The shockwaves this event has sent through CCP politics—and the rifts and infighting within the CCP military—continue to rise from deep within Zhongnanhai’s political depths to the surface. On February 5, the NPC Standing Committee avoided a proposal from military delegates to strip Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli of their NPC deputy qualifications, indicating that Xi Jinping has encountered strong resistance in the subsequent handling of the Zhang Youxia ca...
