If Zhang Youxia Followed Zhang Guotao’s Path, Would the Outcome Be the Same?

China

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

China

“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...

China

Jimmy Lai, founder of Hong Kong’s Next Digital, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after being found guilty on three charges, including conspiracy to collude with foreign forces. Other defendants in the same case — including six former senior executives of Apple Daily and two members of the “Stand With Hong Kong” group — received prison terms ranging from 6 years and 3 months to 10 years. Three Apple Daily–related companies had earlier been convicted of “conspiracy to publish seditious publications” and “conspiracy to collude with foreign or external forces,” and were each fined HK$3,004...

Shock Landslide in Japan Stuns the World — “Little Pinks” First Collapse, Then Lose Composure

China

Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her Liberal Democratic Party, together with their coalition partner, captured three-quarters of the seats in the lower house election. The result shocked the world — and shocked the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as well. Even the usually noisy “Little Pinks” (nationalist netizens in China) were stunned into silence, as if their heads had exploded....

25 Senior Officials Removed — Comprehensive Purge of the “Disloyal” to Clear the Way for the 21st Party Congress

China

On February 6, 2026, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) held its 46th Chairman’s Meeting and approved a list revoking the membership of certain 14th National Committee members. One name on the list was He Song, formerly deputy minister of the Central Military Commission (CMC) Logistic Support Department. His superior, Lieutenant General Zhang Lin, minister of the same department, had already been stripped of his National People’s Congress (NPC) delegate status six months earlier....

Is the Future Dangerous for CMC Vice Chairman Zhang Shengmin?

China

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 ...

Special Report by the Global Tuidang Service Center: History Is Recording All of This

China

As increasing numbers of Chinese citizens choose to sever ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and seek spiritual and moral self-redemption, another harsh reality continued to unfold throughout 2025 — volunteers who help people withdraw from the CCP, known as the “Tuidang” (Quit the CCP) volunteers, have become key targets of suppression and persecution....

From “Hand-Craft Economy” to “Hand-Crafted 5nm Chips”: Xi Jinping’s Endless Meme Supply

China

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....

A Performance Makes the ‘Inner Guards’ Very Nervous — What Is Xi Afraid Of?”**

China

According to reports from Chinese military media and Xinhua, the Central Military Commission held a Lunar New Year gala performance in Beijing on February 6 for retired military cadres stationed in the capital. After the removal of CMC members Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli shook both the military and the Party, Xi Jinping — now nearly “a man alone” — attended the event accompanied only by the remaining CMC member and Vice Chairman Zhang Shengmin....

The Economics of a Furious Ruler: China’s Fiscal Revenue Falls for the First Time in Five Years

China

China’s economy continues to “create miracles,” with officially reported GDP growth consistently holding at 5%, astonishing the world. The official data shows resilience, yet people on the ground feel as if they are stuck in a bitter winter. 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

China

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...

After Talking With Xi, Did Trump Issue an Ultimatum?

China

On February 4, U.S. President Trump posted on the “Truth Social” platform about the contents of his just-completed call with CCP leader Xi Jinping: “We discussed many important topics, including trade, the military, my upcoming trip to China in April (I very much look forward to it!), the Taiwan issue, the Russia–Ukraine war, the Iran situation, China buying oil and natural gas from the United States, China considering increasing purchases of agricultural products (including raising this quarter’s soybean purchases to 20 million tons—they have already promised next quarter’s purchases will be ...
