The CCP’s Boycott of Travel to Japan Proves Ineffective; Chinese Netizens: “I’ll Go Have Some Fun Too”
In response to Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s statement that “If something happens to Taiwan, it is something that happens to Japan,” the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched economic sanctions against Japan. One of the measures was to boycott Japan’s tourism industry, aiming to sharply reduce the number of Chinese travelers visiting Japan. However, new official Japanese data show that the CCP’s sanctions have had little impact on Japan’s tourism sector.
Chinese Communist Party Suspected of Conducting a Nuclear Test in 2020; U.S. Official Reveals New Details
A senior U.S. official on Tuesday (Feb. 17) disclosed new details regarding the Chinese Communist Party’s suspected underground nuclear test in 2020. Previously, U.S. officials had alleged that the CCP conducted a nuclear explosive test in June 2020, but China’s Foreign Ministry denied the claim, saying it had no factual basis.
Beijing Officialdom Ignores Ban, Gossiping About the Party Leader Becomes a Trend
As the Chinese Communist Party’s mandate wanes, its ability to intimidate society, the public, and officials weakens or even disappears. Anti-CCP sentiment and unauthorized discussion of the central leadership begin to snowball, growing larger and larger. The “great, glorious, and correct” image crafted by the Party’s propaganda machine—and the strongman image of the Party leader—collapse like an avalanche. Since Xi Jinping detained Central Military Commission Vice Chairmen Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, various discussions, mockery, and rumors targeting Xi have begun spreading rapidly among Bei
Trouble in the Xi Family? Rumors Say Qi Qiaoqiao Has Been “Placed Under House Arrest”
Recently, the atmosphere in Zhongnanhai can only be described as “eerie.” A shocking piece of news has once again ignited overseas social media: Xi Jinping’s elder sister, Qi Qiaoqiao, is rumored to have been “confined.” Is this a secret order from Xi to protect his family, or have anti-Xi forces already reached his “doorstep”?
Xi Uses U.S. Arms Sales to Taiwan as a Bargaining Chip — Will Trump Be Led by the Nose?
Even before the U.S.–China summit has officially begun, the smell of gunpowder is already in the air behind the scenes. A recent editorial in The Wall Street Journal shocked the political world by pointing out directly that CCP leader Xi Jinping is preparing to present U.S. President Trump with a major “diplomatic demand.” At the center of this high-stakes gamble is none other than “arms sales to Taiwan.” Can Xi really use a single summit to extract a major U.S. concession on the Taiwan Strait issue?

“collective punishment” in the name of the law — the CCP’s “attack-the-heart” argument in the Guo Xiansheng case
Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Guo Feng-yi, now overseas, had her father Guo Xiansheng charged by the HKSAR government with the “offense of attempting to deal with a fugitive’s property” for handling her insurance policy matters. On February 11, the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts found him guilty, and he will be sentenced on February 26. This case is the first in which the family member of a Hong Kong person wanted overseas has been charged with violating “Article 23.” It is yet another clear proof of the CCP’s abuse of Article 23 to persecute Hong Kong people.
Cai Qi Appears Frequently — Has Xi Jinping Been Forced to Concede? An Unsolvable Endgame
After the official announcement that Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli were under investigation, Beijing has fallen into an unprecedented political melee. A series of public appearances by the CCP leader and senior officials before the Lunar New Year, though seemingly routine, have failed to dispel the severe internal divisions. Xi Jinping could only extend New Year greetings to the military via video link, underscoring his continued unease. As for how Zhongnanhai will clean up the mess, there may well be no solution.
The CCP’s Plot to Destroy Humanity Hidden in the Spring Festival Gala
Even before the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala had ended, netizens were already complaining: flashy and chaotic; politically correct themes taking precedence; too many clowns and low-level humor. Some said, “I forced myself to watch half of it. It used to just lack the flavor of the New Year—now it doesn’t even have a human touch.” Others joked, “Robots were invented to replace me as a beast of burden so I could sing and dance. Now I’m still the beast of burden, and the robots are the ones singing and dancing.”
The CCP Suffers Another Setback in South America: Pro-China Peruvian President Impeached by Congress
Peru’s political scene has been shaken once again. On February 17, Peru’s Congress voted overwhelmingly — 75 in favor and 24 against — to pass a motion of censure against interim President Jose Jeri, formally removing him from office. Jeri had been in power for only four months. The reason for his impeachment stemmed from a secret meeting with an agent linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The incident exposed startling details about how the CCP allegedly uses informal channels — including secret meetings in Chinese restaurants and intermediary agents — to infiltrate Peru’s upper politi
