Beijing on High Alert: “Men in Black” Closely Monitor Delegates at the Two Sessions
China’s annual “Two Sessions”—the meetings of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)—have long been criticized as a waste of taxpayer money. In 2026, the gatherings are taking place under the shadow of internal power struggles and the volatile situation in the Middle East. As in previous years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has treated the event as if facing a major threat.

The CCP Prefers Yes-Men Over Talented Leaders
Xi Jinping’s years-long purge has even brought down Zhang Youxia, one of the most respected figures in the Chinese military. This has helped many CCP officials understand Xi’s approach to personnel selection: whether someone has achievements is not important—the most important thing is political loyalty. What the leadership prefers are obedient yes-men rather than capable generals. As long as officials demonstrate absolute loyalty to Xi, they can “lie flat” and collect their government salary without producing real accomplishments, and they will not become targets for removal.

How exactly was Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei precisely eliminated? On March 2, the Financial Times revealed startling details, pointing to an intelligence operation that had been developing for more than 20 years.
