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.

The Economics of a Furious Ruler: China’s Fiscal Revenue Falls for the First Time in Five Years
China’s economy continues to “create miracles,” with officially reported GDP growth consistently holding at 5%, astonishing the world.
