Did Henan’s Spring Festival Gala Program Frighten Xi Jinping?
On February 14, 2026, the live broadcast of Henan TV’s Spring Festival Gala was suddenly interrupted, quickly becoming a major topic of online discussion. The program incorporated a large number of traditional Chinese cultural elements, such as Hanfu, scenes rooted in divinely inspired culture, and a collaborative dance performance titled “The Long Night Ends” linked with Tencent games “Arena Breakout” and “Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun.” Its theme, “The long night ends, mountains and rivers shine in moonlight,” was interpreted by some as an allegory for current turbulence in China’s poli

On New Year’s Eve, “Removing Xi”? Beijing Officialdom Engages in Private Criticism of the Central Leadership, Calling Xi “All Bluster”
This year’s Lunar New Year’s Eve in Beijing was said to be filled with suffocating tension. According to sources, the level of security in the capital has reached “a sentry every three steps, a guard every five.” Why? Because the Chinese term for New Year’s Eve, chuxi, sounds like “removing Xi.” It is said that the superstitious Xi Jinping has been gripped by extreme fear over this homonym.
Zhongnanhai New Year Reception Resembles a Funeral; Did Hu Chunhua “Refuse to Look” at the Supreme Leader?
The year 2026 is the lunar “Red Horse Year.” In the eyes of folk prophecy and political observers, it is destined to be a turbulent one. On the eve of Lunar New Year’s Eve, the Chinese Communist Party held its 2026 New Year reception at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. However, what should have been a festive gathering was instead marked by an extremely oppressive atmosphere. Xi Jinping stood on stage with a weary face, attempting to paper over reality, while officials below wore gloomy expressions. There was no sense of celebration; the reception was mocked as a “funeral gathering.”

Most people’s understanding of Wen Jiabao is completely wrong
I hadn’t posted in the “Defense Zone” before; I came here because I’d heard of it. Long ago I saw some very classic comments about Premier Wen here, and I couldn’t help but sigh: sure enough, even overseas, the majority of people who grew up under the CCP’s one-dimensional information model still lack the ability to discern news sources and also lack news sensitivity. Under long-term propaganda brainwashing (as well as self-brainwashing and mutual brainwashing), they gradually become assimilated, parroting the same old clichés and repeating what others say, losing the vigilance and motivation
Wang Yi Shakes Hands with Sanctioned Rubio, Drawing Mockery
In a CIA recruitment advertisement aimed at Chinese intelligence sources, the CCP leadership was referred to as “madmen.” To save face, the CCP changed the Chinese transliteration of the U.S. Secretary of State’s name from “卢比奥” (Lu Bi’ao) to “鲁比奥” (Lu Bi’ao with a different first character), in order to avoid the embarrassment of having “卢比奥” listed on its sanctions roster. Some netizens commented, “Only madmen could come up with this kind of shameless tactic just to save face.”

From the Zhang Youxia Case: The Moment the CCP Fears Most
Recently, a short video has been circulating online. A reporter asked a Chinese naval soldier: “Can this naval gun also be used for anti-air fire?” The soldier answered without the slightest hesitation: “Wherever the Party tells us to fire, that’s where we fire.” What sends a chill down one’s spine about this sentence is not that it is radical, but that it is too standard, too fluent, too devoid of any trace of humanity. You barely have time to think before realizing: if one day the direction of the order points toward the people, this sentence would apply just the same.
