[People News] Chinese actor Yu Menglong was shockingly reported to have fallen to his death this September. The incident has now persisted for over two months, and as netizens dig deeper, an increasing number of dark secrets have come to light, revealing issues in the entertainment industry related to money laundering, organ trafficking, human trafficking, and internal conflicts within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Currently, two central-level officials, Cai Qi and Wang Xiaohong, are suspected of being behind the Yu Menglong case. After several days of being out of the public eye, they have recently made sudden appearances, yet no official explanation has been provided, leading to widespread speculation.

As reported by CCP state media, on November 20, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a symposium in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Hu Yaobang. Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee who had been missing for several days, finally appeared next to Xi Jinping's name. Prior to this, Cai Qi had been absent from four significant events, including the opening ceremony of the Guangzhou National Games on November 9, Xi Jinping's meeting with the visiting King of Spain on November 12, Xi Jinping's meeting with the visiting King of Thailand on November 14, and the Central Committee's comprehensive rule of law work conference held in Beijing from November 17 to 18. His absence has sparked considerable speculation.

Current affairs commentator Li Mu Yang noted that while it cannot yet be concluded that Cai Qi is in trouble, 'there are no trivial matters in the CCP's political landscape; every action carries political implications.'

In addition, another high-ranking official, Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong, finally made an appearance at the Central Committee's comprehensive rule of law work conference on November 17 to 18, ending a nine-day period of being out of sight.

Li Mu Yang analysed and noted that Wang Xiao Hong has re-emerged in the public eye, "but this does not mean that Wang Xiao Hong is safe," as many of his close associates have been dismissed. This includes former Beijing Public Security Bureau Director Qi Yan Jun, Deputy Minister of Public Security Xu Gan Lu, Chen Si Yuan, and Sun Mao Li, among others. Notably, Dong Yi Jun, the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, unexpectedly passed away in October this year. Li Mu Yang pointed out that prior to the investigation and sentencing of former Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Zhou Yong Kang, many of his close associates also faced troubles. "Is Wang Xiao Hong's current situation following the same path as Zhou Yong Kang? We can continue to observe." 

Li Mu Yang mentioned that while these events are directly related to the internal power struggles within the Chinese Communist Party, they are also likely connected to the Yu Meng Long case. This case has been ongoing for over two months and has garnered more attention than other historical incidents. Despite the high level of scrutiny, the Beijing Chaoyang Branch has repeatedly engaged in violations and even illegal activities. Li Mu Yang suspects that there are higher-level individuals supporting these actions, and the developments of this incident remain worthy of attention.

Current affairs commentator Jiang Feng suggests that CCTV's decision to provide a close-up of Wang Xiaohong amidst the crowd at the venue serves a clear official purpose: to dispel rumours globally. Didn't you claim that Wang Xiaohong was missing? Didn't you say he had encountered an incident? Look, he is sitting here perfectly fine at the meeting. However, this raises significant doubts and highlights a terrifying reality. In the opaque politics of the Chinese Communist Party, the need to showcase a close-up of a leader from a notorious faction to reassure the nation that he is alive and not detained suggests that he may be just one step away from trouble. △
