Xi Visits Retired Senior Military Officers — Do Multiple Details Expose an Internal Crisis in the PLA?
After the sudden downfall of Central Military Commission Vice Chairman Zhang Youxia, political tension at the top levels has continued to simmer.

Gangster-Style Gun-Waving? PLA Jets Carry Out Extremely Dangerous Provocations Against Taiwan’s F-16 Fighters
The situation in the Taiwan Strait is entering an extremely dangerous and unpredictable new phase. According to the Financial Times, citing informed sources and the latest report Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense provided to the United States, during an unannounced PLA exercise encircling Taiwan on December 29 last year, Chinese military aircraft carried out multiple “extremely dangerous” and “unprofessional” provocative maneuvers against Taiwan’s F-16 fighter jets, including the firing of flares and close-range intimidation. On February 9, the U.S. House of Representatives passed what has
Cai Qi Shakes the Foundations of the CCP State — Xi Jinping May Not Even Make It to 2027
The arrest of Central Military Commission Vice Chairman Zhang Youxia means that of the six CMC members personally appointed by CCP leader Xi Jinping in 2022, only one now remains. Observers believe this is not merely Zhang Youxia’s personal downfall. It marks a complete rupture between Xi and the families of his closest former allies, and could trigger systemic fractures within the armed forces—the pillar upon which the CCP regime relies—leading to an unprecedented political shockwave, comparable to the upheaval caused by Lin Biao’s defection in 1971.
Zhang Youxia’s Failed Move Against Xi — Liu Yuan and Deng Pufang Preparing a Counterattack at the 21st Party Congress
The investigation of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli has not resolved the crisis triggered by the rift between Xi Jinping and senior military commanders.

Caught Off Guard! The CCP Takes Two Heavy Blows in Two Days
On February 8, Japan’s general election showed that the party of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi secured three-quarters of the seats in parliament. On February 9, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the PROTECT Taiwan Act by an overwhelming vote of 395 to 2. These two developments delivered two direct heavy blows to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), highlighting consecutive failures of Beijing’s so-called “wolf warrior diplomacy.”
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

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

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
PLA Daily Criticizes Zhang Guotao, Praises Zhu De — Hinting at Political Betrayal by Zhang Youxia?
After Zhang Youxia — widely seen as a trusted military ally of Xi Jinping and a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission with real power — fell from power, Chinese politics has entered an extremely tense and surreal state.

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

It Wasn’t Jimmy Lai Who Incited Hong Kong People — Hong Kong People Chose Jimmy Lai
As the Lunar New Year of the Horse approached, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) instructed the Hong Kong government to use Hong Kong’s transformed courts to deliver verdicts in the case of Jimmy Lai and Apple Daily. This New Year therefore carried no sense of celebration.
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.
