Hello, everyone! Welcome to “Inconvenient Truths by Jennifer Zeng”.

 As promised in my last show, today I will talk about three ways and possible steps of the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP’s upcoming collapse. I say “upcoming collapse” because I do believe that the CCP is going to collapse soon. I hope you agree with me on this. 

Three Ways of CCP’s Collapse

 First, let me talk about three ways of the CCP’s collapse.  But before that, please make sure you subscribe to my channel now so that you can get my updates in the future about more events on the CCP’s road to collapse.

 Remember I did a show titled “ Is the Rebellion of the ‘Second-Generation Red’ the Last Straw For the CCP?” In that show, I introduced a very high-profile insider of the CCP, a professor of the CCP’s Central Party School, which specializes in training high-level CCP leaders. This professor’s name is Cai Xia. She was recently expelled from the CCP after an audio file of her sharply criticizing Xi Jinping and the CCP was leaked and widely circulated on the Internet. You can check out my previous show about her story if you’d like to know more.

In another audio file that was leaked more recently, Cai Xia talked about three ways the CCP could collapse. 

1. The first way is through external wars, like what happened to Adolf Hitler and Muammar Gaddafi. Their regimes were all ended by external wars. 

2. The second way is through internal reforms, like what happened in the former Soviet Union. Mikhail Gorbachev’s internal reforms resulted in a peaceful end of the Soviet Union, the first communist government on earth.

3. The third way is a total collapse from within after the CCP’s system can no longer handle all sorts of conflicts and pressure caused by the CCP’s terrorist style of ruling. 

 Which of the 3 ways do you think is most likely? Subscribe to my channel now if you haven’t, and then I’ll tell you what I think. Please also leave a comment under this video and share with us your thoughts.

 Cai Xia’s opinion is, “The (CCP’s) end will be collapse from within. This collapse would be caused by an accidental event. And then this accidental event would cause the collapse of the entire society. Just like a nuclear explosion,  after a long time of gestation, suddenly it explodes.”

 My own thoughts are, external wars are not likely, but not 100% impossible. Internal reforms are not likely to happen, as I don’t think there is a strong enough force inside the party to bring about meaningful “reforms” or changes. Xi Jinping has been consolidating his solo power for all these years. Although, like Cai Xia said, 60-70% of the CCP members think that Xi should be replaced, but who dares, or is capable, to openly challenge Xi? I don’t see anyone.

 The third way is the most likely one. Another possibility is that many different factors will work together to bring about the CCP’s end; one can hardly say which one will play more of a role than the others. 

 The Trilogy of the CCP’s Collapse 

 A popular Chinese commentator Tang Hao discussed this issue in a different way. He said the process of the CCP’s collapse could be a trilogy, which means there are three possible chapters.

 Chapter 1: With the international pressure mounting, the CCP gets more and more isolated, the CCP’s officials and the general public feel the heat more and more. 

 I think everyone is already seeing this happening, especially after the outbreak of the COVID19 pandemic. The CCP’s cover-ups and suppression of the truth have led to unimaginable losses worldwide, more and more countries and people are feeling very angry towards the CCP. Over 120 countries are demanding an investigation into the origin and truth of the pandemic. Some countries have initiated legal actions against the CCP and demanded compensation.

 Furthermore, the CCP’s disinformation campaign about the origin of the virus, its infiltration and manipulation of international organizations, its bullying and aggression against countries in the South China Sea area, its neglect of international order and rules, its crackdown on the people of Hong Kong, and its vicious threats against Taiwan, etc., have all made the international community increasingly resentful of it, and keep more of a distance from it. More and more countries are collaborating with the U.S. to isolate the CCP, while the US is openly showing its tougher and tougher stance on the CCP.

If you have watched my last video about the US Ambassador to China, Terry Branstad’s early departure, and about how the US is downgrading its relations with the CCP while upgrading its relations with Taiwan, you’ll have a bigger picture of the situation.

 With foreign companies leaving China, the reduction of international investment, and the reduction of international food imports, the lives of the ordinary Chinese people will become more and more difficult and perhaps even unbearable.

 At the same time, the international siege and the various sanctions from the U.S. will also hurt Chinese enterprises, as well as powerful elite groups, making things equally difficult for them, and thus building up stronger and stronger opposing forces inside the CCP. 

 Chapter 2: The internal conflict intensifies, and the CCP’s split goes public.

 I did a show about this issue a month ago, with the title “Xi Jinping vs Li Keqiang:The CCP’s Split Goes Public”. Please go watch that one if you haven’t already.

A little bit of an update on this issue is that recently an open letter from another high profile CCP insider has circulated on the Internet. This high profile insider is Leng Jiefu, a retired professor, and former director of the Politics Faculty of Renmin University of China. This university is also known as a special institution that specializes in training high-level cadres for the CCP. 

Leng Jiefu’s letter suggests three things:

1. Xi Jinping should step down;

2.  China should adopt a federal system, establish a “United States of China” to resolve the issues of the Taiwan reunification, ethnic minorities, and Hong Kong.

3. The top priority of China’s economy is to develop its agriculture.

 The Chinese version of the Epoch Times interviewed Professor Leng Jiefu several days ago. He admitted that he did write that letter, but said the letter was written in April this year. He didn’t understand why it suddenly appeared on the Internet now.

He also said that the letter was “out of date” now, as when he wrote the letter in April, the situations with Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other ethnic minorities were not as bad as today.

He said, “It is too late now. The situation has developed to such a point that a Federation may not be able to handle it”.

In other words, we can say that this professor’s assessment of the current situation is totally different from that of only 5 months ago when he thought a “United States of China” could be a solution. Now he thought it was too late, and there was no chance for China to resolve all of its problems with such a system. He didn’t say why, but we all understand that it’s because the CCP has gone too far for it to go back. 

 Now let’s go to Chapter 3 of the CCP’s collapse. 

 Chapter 3: Chinese people see through the CCP,  rise up, and fight back. 

 According to Tang Hao,  because of a worsening international environment, the CCP will encounter huge problems with its economy. Unemployment will go up. If the food crisis really breaks, or the pandemic hits again, Chinese people’s anger and discontent will rise.

If at this stage, the CCP’s internal conflicts become more intense, or even a coup happens, the Chinese people will see more clearly the ugliness and falsehoods within the CCP hierarchy.

 Or, if, more CCP insiders come out to expose more of the CCP’s crimes, releasing more hard evidence of how the CCP created and spread the pandemic to the whole world, how the CCP mass killed people and sold their organs, how the CCP has been persecuting innocent people all these years, etc, it will likely prompt a large number of Chinese people to recognize the CCP’s rule of lies and to resent the CCP’s years of deception and oppression of its people. Angry people may thus rise up and demand that the CCP step down, and be held accountable for its crimes. 

 Will Xi Jinping be Forced to Dismantle the CCP?

 At this stage, maybe someone will come out and give orders to have the CCP dismantled. These orders could either come from Xi Jinping himself or someone else. If the situation inside China really goes out of control, Xi Jinping’s only way to save himself would be to order the dismantling of the CCP so that he can win support from the US, as well as the Chinese people. 

If he doesn’t dissolve the CCP, even if he steps down and hands over his power to another person, he has accumulated too many enemies in his anti-corruption campaigns, and harmed the interests of too many people,  he will probably not be able to protect himself and his family.

 Moreover, he will be blamed for all the problems,  will be held accountable at home and abroad for all the CCP’s crimes. His successor will surely put all the blame on him.

 So, it will be better off if Xi Jinping chooses to end the CCP with his own hands. Tang Hao says that there is a good chance that Xi Jinping will do so, but I personally am not that confident about this. Maybe he will if it’s his last chance, but I’m not sure whether it is already too late for him to do so. 

 “Human’s Calculations Can Never Beat Heaven’s Arrangements”

 Well, what I mentioned are some assumptions of possible ways and steps of the CCP’s demise. The CCP is like a sinking ship now with water coming in from so many holes. Which hole will be the first to break and blast open? Nobody knows. There is an old saying in Chinese, “ 人算不如天算”, which can be roughly translated as “Human’s calculations/speculations/predictions can never beat heaven’s arrangements.” Perhaps as human beings, we can only try to figure out what heaven’s will is, and act according to it. 

 That’s all for today. Thank you for watching. This is your third chance to subscribe to my channel and share it. I hope you don’t miss it. And remember to check my other videos that you might have missed in the past.

On Sep 14, the US Embassy in Beijing suddenly announced that “The U.S. Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China Terry Branstad will retire from his position as U.S. envoy and depart Beijing in early October. The Ambassador confirmed his decision to President Trump by phone last week.”

It was said that the US didn’t notify Beijing about this, and it was a big embarrassment for the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP. 

Although most of the US media chose to use “Terry Branstad stepping down” as their titles to cover this news, many overseas Chinese commentators are saying that this is a very significant, even symbolic event in terms of US-China relations. It’s a pro-active move on the US side to “downgrade” its relations with the People’s Republic of China, and could even be an indication that one day the US might cut off its diplomatic relations with the CCP altogether. 

Why do they say this? And is it possible? Today, let’s discuss these issues.

 Early Departure with No Reasons Provided

 Many people noticed that the US Embassy in Beijing did not give any reasons for Branstad’s early departure. The press statement only talked about his achievements in the past 3 years, and that “The Ambassador will return to Iowa after leaving Beijing.”

In the meantime, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo sent 3 tweets on the same day to praise Branstad’s “service to the American people.”

Although Fox did mention that Branstad could help President Trump with his re-election campaign after he leaves Beijing, that was only what Branstad intends to do after he leaves, not the reason why he decided to step down early.

 Battles over an Article

 To understand the reason behind this event, we need to check out another very interesting incident that happened right before this.

On August 26, the US Embassy in Beijing contacted the CCP’s mouthpiece People’s Daily, and requested that they publish Ambassador Branstad’s article titled “Resetting the Relationship Based on Reciprocity”. The article’s main point is that the “imbalanced” relationship between the US and China needs to be reset based on the principle of reciprocity.  

On Sep. 9, the People Daily rejected this request, saying that the content of the article “is riddled with flaws, which is seriously inconsistent with the facts and is not in line with the criteria that People’s Daily, as a well-known, serious and professional media, has always upheld for the selection and publication of its articles. If the United States still wishes to publish the article in the People’s Daily, it should make substantive changes to the article in the light of the facts and in accordance with the principles of equality and mutual respect. ”

Secretary Pompeo immediately sent a tweet as a response, saying that “The Chinese Communist Party complains about a lack of fair and reciprocal treatment with the U.S. At the same time, the CCP refused to run Ambassador Branstad’s op-ed in the People’s Daily, while their ambassador is free to publish in any U.S. media outlet.”

On the same day, the US Department of State published a press statement titled “The Hypocrisy of the PRC’s Propaganda System”, saying that “The People’s Daily’s response once again exposes the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of free speech and serious intellectual debate – as well as Beijing’s hypocrisy when it complains about lack of fair and reciprocal treatment in other countries…If Communist China is sincere about becoming a mature power and strengthening relations with the free world, General Secretary Xi Jinping’s government would respect the right for Western diplomats to speak directly to the Chinese people, allow foreign journalists back into China, and stop the intimidation and harassment of investigative journalists, foreign and Chinese, who strive to uphold the integrity of the fifth estate to serve the public good. ” 

The website of the US Embassy in China not only immediately published a Chinese version of the above statement but also posted it on its social media accounts in China, including Weibo and WeChat. 

Initially, the statement survived on Weibo and WeChat but was banned from being shared. People couldn’t post comments as well.

Several hours later, it was deleted.

Then, several days later, Ambassador Branstad announced his early retirement.

 Is the US Setting Up a “Trap” for the CCP?

 So these are the events on the surface that we can see.  But there are more under the surface that we didn’t see.

What are the things that we didn’t get to see?

 According to many Chinese analysts, as well as the CCP’s spokesman Zhao Lijian, the US Embassy’s request to ask the People’s Daily to publish Branstad’s article is a “deliberately designed trap” to find fault with the CCP. Zhao Lijian said at a press conference, “It is false that the U.S. side wished to publish an article, and it is true that it set out to frame the Chinese side.”

 Many Chinese analysts agreed to Zhao’s point. Their reasoning is that Ambassador Branstad knew very well that the People’s Daily would not dare to publish his article. But why would he still do such a “useless” thing knowingly? It was because the US government wanted to show its people as well as the world the true face of the CCP, to win more understanding and support for its tougher China policies.

 According to one Chinese commentator Qin Peng, the fact that the US Embassy in China published the statement that sharply criticizes the CCP in Chinese language and on its Chinese social media accounts indicates three things:

1. It is the US that proactively attacked the CCP;

2. The statement didn’t use “China” to refer to China like before, but used the “People’s Republic of China” instead. As “the People’s Republic of China” is usually used as opposed to “The Republic of China”, this could be an indication that the US was acknowledging that there is a “The Republic of China”.

3. This also means that Trump has made up his mind to destroy the CCP.

 A De Facto Downgraded Relationship

 When an official resigns early, there could be several reasons:

1. He has a health problem and cannot work.  

2. His supervisor is unhappy about him and wants to replace him.

3. He is unhappy about his job and wants to quit. 

 Judging from the fact that Secretary Pompeo spoke highly of Branstad, and Branstad is going to campaign for President Trump, we could see that none of the three reasons applies to him. Then the most likely reason is that the US government wants him to leave early to create a de facto situation, in which there will be no US Ambassador in China. So the US wants to deliberately downgrade its diplomatic relations with the CCP. 

 Please also note that the US didn’t announce a successor for Branstad. If after Branstad leaves in early October as planned, there is still no one to take over his post, this kind of situation may remain until the US election is over in Nov., or even after Trump finishes his current term of office in next Jan. 

 Another Unprecedented Situation

 If this really is the case, it will be another unprecedented situation between the US and Communist China. Many Chinese people still remember that during the chaotic times of China’s civil war in the late 1940s,  when the CCP overturned the legitimate government of the Kuomintang,  the US didn’t recall its ambassador. 

Instead, even after the CCP occupied Nanjing, which was previously the capital city of  Kuomintang’s regime, the US ambassador of that time, John Leighton Stuart, did not leave China. Instead, he started to talk with the CCP’s representative, only 13 days after the CCP took over Nanjing. The US government was observing the CCP’s regime and considering whether to establish a diplomatic relationship. Stuart was only called back to the US after the CCP leader Mao Zedong published an article “On the People’s Democratic Dictatorship”, showing that the CCP had chosen the Soviet Union over the US. 

However, before he left, Stuart was still trying to visit Beijing to negotiate with the CCP’s top leaders.

 So, in this sense, the current situation is more serious than the time in 1949, when the CCP just overthrew the Kuomintang government, which had a strong and good relationship with the US.

 Downgrading the CCP, Upgrading Taiwan

 While the US is downgrading its diplomatic relations with the CCP’s regime, it is “upgrading” its relationship with Taiwan, or, the Republic of China. Yesterday, on Sep 16, only 2 days after the US Embassy in Beijing announced Brandstad’s early departure, the US Department of State announced US Under Secretary of State Keith Krach’s visit to Taiwan.  

The Foreign Ministry of Taiwan also announced that during Krach’s visit to Taiwan from today, which is Sep 17 to Sep 19, he will be meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen and other senior officials, and attending a memorial service for former President Lee Teng-hui.

This is, no doubt, a huge diplomatic victory for Taiwan, as at one point in 1979, the US had granted CCP’s China full diplomatic recognition, while severing normal ties with Taiwan. 

So, the contrast between how the US is treating the People’s Republic of China, and the Republic of China, is staggering. Some commentators are even predicting a visit to Taiwan by Secretary Pompeo, or even President Trump himself, in the near future.

 Well, just like I said in my previous show “The CCP, Hong Kong, Taiwan, & US: Romance of 4 Kingdoms”, when some forces are rising, other forces are falling. We are not only witnessing big, big changes unfolding right in front of our eyes, but are also given the opportunities to participate, and play a part in these historical events and changes. And I’ll discuss further one of the most important changes of our time, the possible ways and steps of the CCP’s demise next time. So stay tuned.

 That’s all for today. Thanks for watching. Truth saves lives. Please do subscribe to my channel, share it with friends and family, and check out my other videos.

文：林曉旭

（曾錚注：此文爲美國微生物學博士、前美國陸軍研究所病毒學研究員、病毒實驗室主任林曉旭對於今年四月從香港逃到美國的病毒學家閆麗夢等人於9月14日發布的論文《SARS-CoV-2基因組的不尋常特徵表明,該基因組是經過複雜的 實驗室改造而非自然進化的,並確定了其可能的合成途徑》的獨家評論。報告的英文原文爲Unusual Features of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Laboratory Modification Rather Than Natural Evolution and Delineation of Its Probable Synthetic ）

首先， 它挑戰了主流科學界關於SARS-CoV-2病毒的來源是自然突變和進化的主導觀點。

今年三月份Nature Medicine上的關於SARS-CoV-2的自然來源的文章發表之後，中國的科學界也陸續發表了一些其他蝙蝠和穿山甲冠狀病毒的研究，基本都是強調這些新發現的病毒於SARS-CoV-2的相似性等（包括包含有刺突蛋白的Furin酶切割位點等），來進一步支持自然演化的觀點。

但是，閆麗夢等人的報告是第一個系統性分析SARS-CoV-2病毒基因序列上的一系列的奇詭特點，大膽挑戰主流觀點， 認為這個病毒不可能是來自自然突變和進化的。

對於像冠狀病毒這樣的RNA病毒，簡簡單單的認為RNA病毒的高突變性和病毒間的重組就會自然產生SARS-CoV-2無疑是最輕鬆的假說。閆麗夢等人的報告是收集了大量的過往的相關研究報告所作出的嚴肅認真的質疑。

其次， 閆麗夢等人也根據他們對病毒基因序列的特點的分析提出了一個可能的在實驗室“製造”這個SARS-CoV-2病毒的實驗手段和途徑， 並大膽斷言SARS-CoV-2病毒是經過實驗室基因改造的一個病毒。

這個假說中包含了通過基因點突變技術、導入酶切位點的基因重組技術、反向基因重組技術等手段，並指出通過這些複雜的加工過程是可以實現人造病毒： 以ZC45這株中國軍方2017年所找到的蝙蝠冠狀病毒為骨架， 人為地導入刺突蛋白的Furin酶切割位點，調換受體結合模塊（RBM）， 並使用蝙蝠冠狀病毒株RaBatCoV/4991的RdRp聚合酶，再通過反向重組技術和體外轉染技術來得到被加工後的活病毒，然後再通過合適的動物模型來加強病毒的適應力和傳染力等。

這是第一次有科學團隊系統的質疑病毒的來源， 並提出較為完整的一套實驗室手段和途徑，來完成實驗室製造SARS-CoV-2。這無疑是一個重磅炸彈。

雖然這個報告本身沒有任何該團隊直接進行的試驗來支持其提出的人造病毒的途徑假說， 但是從分子病毒學的角度來說， 他們提出的試驗手段和技術都是非常可行的。

當然，這個假說是一種反向推理，如果有其他的病毒基因的特殊之處也必須考慮，那麼這個人造途徑的假說會變得更加複雜。而且目前的假說還沒涉及到，按照這個假說所製造的病毒是如何在致病性上和薩斯病毒有巨大的差異。

但總體來說，他們的這個報告無疑提醒國際社會幾個重要問題：

1. 中共的軍方一直在對病毒進行獲得功能性（Gain-of-functions） 的試驗。這些試驗可能是為了病毒研究或者疫苗開發，也可能是為了生物武器的開發。無論如何，這對中國百姓和國際社會都構成了極大危險。

2. 中共一直隱瞞武漢肺炎早期在武漢爆發的疫情情況，阻擋國際社會進行獨立調查，使得國際社會一直無法確認到底本次疫情爆發是動物來源還是實驗室來源。這份報告的出台更凸顯國際社會必須要求中共配合調查的必要性。

3. 現在中共已經擁有了像SARS-CoV-2這樣的病毒，它們可以把這個病毒及其變種作為生化武器來進一步開發。國際社會應該充分看到這個危險性。

9/15/2020

We all know that the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP, has built up a “Great Firewall” to block all overseas websites and information that they don’t like. The so-called “Internet” in China should actually be called “Intranet”. 

But how about information that is published inside China on China’s own websites, but is disliked by the party? We know roughly that the CCP also censors information inside China, but exactly how, and to what extent? 

Recently we had a rare opportunity to gain a little bit of insight into how the CCP’s tremendous information censorship works, through detailed first-hand accounts from a former so-called “Content Reviewer” of the largest Chinese-language mobile portal. You will be amazed to find that the “Internet Management” Department is much bigger, much more powerful, and much more sophisticated than the “Ministry of Truth” in George Orwell’s 1984. And you might also wonder, how can something more ridiculous than Orwell’s 1984 really exist in the real world? Today, I will unmask the CCP’s “Ministry of Truth” for you.

The Everyday Schedule of a “Content Reviewer”

Liu Lipeng is a former “Content Reviewer” of Sina Weibo,  a Chinese microblogging website. It’s a Twitter-like social network, the largest Chinese-language mobile portal, and has more than 500 million users and millions of posts per day.

Liu Lipeng worked for 10 years at Sina Weibo, before he escaped China and came to the US in March this year with his family. In his recent interviews with the Epoch Times, New Tang Dynasty Television, and Voice of America, he gave us a rare and gloomy picture of how the CCP’s “Ministry of Truth” operates.

Liu Lipeng joined Sina Weibo in 2011. The department he belonged to was located in Tianjin and had the nickname “The Department of Deletion”, which means that they were mainly responsible for deleting posts on Weibo.

It took him one hour to get to his company in the Industrial Zone of Tianjin. He always slept on the bus, as what awaited him was another long and very busy day of work.

At that time there were about 120 “Content Reviewers” at Sina Weibo’s department in Tianjin. They were divided into 4 groups and worked on a two-shift schedule system. The day time shift worked for 11 hours, and the night shift needed to work for 13 hours to ensure that there were Content Reviewers working at every minute, day and night to monitor everything.

Li Lipeng said, everyday people working the two different shifts needed to have a handing-over meeting to make sure everything was covered. 

After the meeting, everyone returned to his or her station, turned on the computer, and opened the backend of the system. Each computer was exactly the same. When Liu Lipeng recalled the scene at work many years afterwards, he could still feel some of the horror: “Everyone was in a cubicle, there was no other sound in the room, only the noise of the rolling mouses could be heard. From time to time, there would be a stop for a few seconds, then you could hear the clicks of the mouse. That was someone deleting something.”

Sensitive Word Database

When Li Lipeng and other “Content Reviewers” turned on their computers, the system had already screened everything with its “sensitive word database”. Posts containing highly sensitive words such as the Tiananmen Massacre and Falun Gong, would be deleted automatically. For posts containing moderate or slightly sensitive words, there were two ways of dealing with them: either manually checking them before or after publishing. 

Liu Lipeng said: “Conducting text censorship is fairly fast: Enter keywords in the backend, delete some harmful information, and then it’s either to delete, make private, stop somebody from making more posts, hide the post, or let it pass through. Choose one of these several operations. There are also many news organizations that need ‘customized’ censorship, which means filtering content in the comment section to only allow comments of the CCP’s 50 cent army and the ‘patriots’ to display.”

The Criterion Is That There Is No Criterion

Then what are the rules, or criteria for content censorship? How do the “Content Reviewers” decide what to delete and what to keep?

Liu Lipeng said, “The criterion is that there is no criterion. If there is one, wouldn’t everybody know how to bypass it so they won’t get censored? 

“Chinese censorship standards are opaque, they’re black boxes. You can’t talk about Chinese censorship so that people won’t know the rules. “However, each company has its own internal standards for enforcement, which is something that is strictly forbidden to communicate to the outside.”

Liu Lipeng said, the sensitive database is built up gradually, through gathering unfound words in the comments of some “sensitive users”. 

Some data was given to them by the CCP’s Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission, and the Public Security Ministry. Sometimes even the military would give them a keyword sample and ask them to delete all posts containing those words from the entirety of cyberspace. 

Liu Lipeng said, “We could get 10 samples today, and 50 samples tomorrow. We abstracted many sensitive words and added them to our database.”

And the sensitive words kept growing.  Now there are hundreds of thousands of “sensitive words” from some platforms. Liu Lipeng’s censorship logs kept growing too. 

Liu had kept all the censorship logs from day one. And the logs kept getting thicker and thicker.

Changing the Record of Past Events According to Current Needs

Liu Lipeng said, although the system would do the first round of content reviewing, manually reviewing was always the final step and a must. 

Once they received 350 K sensitive words from the State Council Information Office; and all these sensitive words were related to Xi Jinping. They were required to do a manual review of everything that had already been reviewed based on the new sensitive word database.

And the database kept changing too. Sometimes, when one CCP official was ousted, they needed to re-screen all previous posts about him. That is why some very old posts would suddenly get deleted.

Does this sound familiar? Yes, I am sure you also think about Orwell’s 1984. The biggest task of the Ministry of Truth was also to change the record of past events according to current needs.

“Relevant Department”

Liu Lipeng said, the orders to re-screen content manually came from many departments. They received all sorts of orders everyday, giving them detailed instructions as to what to delete, what to let pass, how to steer the direction of public opinion, etc. Sometimes even the Ministry of Agriculture would give them orders. It seemed that everybody had the right to tell them what to delete, what to ban, and whose accounts to suspend.

A former Tencent staff member who did not want to be named told Voice of America that Tencent’s censorship process is pretty much the same. He said that there is a special security center responsible for content review. 

First of all, there is a list of keywords. If an article contains several keywords, sometimes the system will directly decide not to publish the article. Sometimes it will decide that this article needs a manual review.

Sometimes, even if an article has been permitted by both the system and manual review, if a “relevant department” feels unhappy,  it will ask Tencent to delete that article too. 

The former Tencent staff said that during his time there, every day he would receive something called a “reporting reminder”. Sometimes there were more than a dozen items in it, sometimes there were 3-4 items. They were all orders from the Internet Management Office. 

However, it’s not just the Internet Management Office that can give orders to them.

He said: “There are more than 50 departments that have the power to censor the Internet in China, including the Ministry of Public Security, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the Ministry of Education, the Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission, the Patriotic Movement Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Technology Information, and so on. These departments can all control the content of the Internet. It is a three-dimensional system of power, not simply a point to point system from the Internet Management Office to the Internet platform.”

And who are the mysterious “relevant departments”?

Liu Lipeng said, “Let me give you an example, for example, if there is a movie and a school appears in the movie, it has to be sent to the Ministry of Education for review; if there are two policemen in the movie, it has to be sent to the Ministry of Public Security for review; if there is a miner, it has to be sent to the Ministry of Land and Resources for review. In short, you have to send the relevant content to the relevant department for review. This is the so-called ‘relevant department’. This kind of censorship is very specific and very absurd.”

A Log from the “Content Reviewer” 

And what exactly did they censor? Let’s see part of Liu Lipeng’s work log on June 5, 2014.

Part of Liu Lipeng’s work log on June 5, 2014.(Credit: VOA)

The log says, 

“For the reasons to block a user, the system currently only provides four major categories: ‘Politics’, ‘Special Event’, ‘Illegal Information’, and ‘Command from Monitoring System’. We need to develop sub-categories for these major ones in the future. 

“At present, the criteria for selections are:

1. Politics: Negative information regarding the leaders, politics and current affairs related information.

2. Ilegal Information: information related to guns, explosion and pornography, etc. 

3. Special Event: June the 4th Event (which refers to Tiananmen Massacre), Falun Gong, events related to special groups.

4. Orders from the Government: orders from the Internet Management Office, Internet Monitoring System and Government, notifications from the system that require this account to be closed.

“It needs to be stressed that you need to be absolutely satisfied that everything works well before you turn on the automatic hide or stop function. If you cannot control it, or you don’t understand, you need to continue to hide or stop posts manually. Don’t carelessly let them go through.”

Then there is a table containing the following items for a blocked user:

User ID, nickname, statue, time of blocking, when the blocking expires, reason for blocking, operator of the blocking.

So in this table, we can see that a user whose ID was 3224373155, whose nickname was “A Bar on Road 504” was blocked at 15:19 on 1/17/2013, with no time of expiration. The reason for blocking him or her was that this account was a “reincarnation” of a previous account called “zeSrwECbn”, and the blocking was done by “fanzeng”. 

By the way, Chinese netizens often open up another account after their previous account is blocked. They call this a “reincarnation”.  It’s a very common practice in China. Some people have multiple generations of “reincarnated” accounts as their accounts keep getting deleted.

The work log goes on to say: “Apart from filling in the article number, please also write down the reason when you block or limit a user. When there is an important event and many users need to be banned, whoever is in charge should create a consistent format. For example, in the Southern Weekly incident, when filling in the reason for banning or blocking a user, you should use ‘Southern Weekly’ as a mark. Otherwise, it is impossible to conduct a search for it in the future. Please pay attention to this. Please implement this as a long term request.”

By the way, the Southern Weekly incident mentioned here refers to a well known incident in China in 2013. It was a conflict which arose over government censorship of a “New Year’s Greeting” published in the Chinese newspaper Southern Weekly. Guangdong Province’s Propaganda Department changed the headline and content of the New Year’s message without first informing Southern Weekly editors. 

In protest, newsroom staff posted online criticism for lack of free expression in China and went on a four-day strike. 

The incident also sparked public demonstrations against press censorship which took place outside Southern Weekly’s headquarters in Guangzhou, China. 

As a result of the incident and the accompanying demonstrations, keywords such as “Southern Weekly,” “January 7 protest,” and “open letter” have become sensitive topics blocked by the Chinese firewall.

Let’s go back to the work log of Liu Liping. 

Underneath the above paragraph are two items recorded by the day time shift on June 5th.

This first item recorded at 8:56:47 goes like this:

“Lianhe Zaobao: The video of Kong Qindong talking about the June 4th Incident. It is a test of the government regarding the re-evaluation of the June 4th Incident. The relevant content should be kept private. “

The second item recorded at 9:55:54 goes like this:

“Urumqi Procuratorate: Terrorism Cases Will Be Tried and Concluded on the Same Day of Acceptance, or No Later than 48 Hours. Please pay attention to the relevant discussion, and deal with content that attacks our party and government using this article as an excuse.”

These two items had very specific instructions on how to deal with comments on two specific articles that day. 

From this we can see how carefully everything is controlled on the Internet. For almost every report or article, there are some guidelines regarding how to steer or “display” the public opinion. The so-called “harmful content” has no chance to survive, so that what people can see is all what the CCP wants them to see.

From 120 to 10,000 

Liu Lipeng said, the internet censorship is getting worse and worse. When he worked at Sina Weibo in 2011, the company had about 120 content reviewers. Today,  TikTok’s parent company ByteDance alone has over 10,000 content reviewers. Well, how does all this sound to you? When you read George Orwell’s 1984, did you ever expect that something far worse would really exist in the real world, together with you? How can this kind of thing actually be allowed to happen in our world? Perhaps it’s time for us to ask these questions, and think hard about how we can end this kind of absurdity once and for all.

That’s all for today. Thank you for watching. One viewer said I desperately need more audience. So please subscribe to my channel, make sure you turn on the “notification” bell and share my channel with your family and friends.

Thank you. See you soon!

（Jennifer’s note: This is the English transition of a post of Zhao Shengyu on Weibo. He has 3.28 million followers. I have just checked his account. These are indeed his statements.)

(曾錚注：以下爲中共網絡大V、擁有328萬微博粉絲的趙盛燁9月12號發表的一個博文的英文翻譯。）

In the past, when we were doing military research, there was always a misconception that only by dropping nuclear bombs on the soil of America can we destroy it.

As a matter of fact, if hundreds of nuclear bombs are shot over there, the secondary disasters and so on will completely destroy the entire world. In this sense, it is absolutely not necessary to drop the nuclear bombs on the soil of the US. It is in fact very easy to destroy the world. Here I will give three examples:

1. Detonate a nuclear submarine fully loaded with nuclear warheads in the Pacific Ocean. This can cause huge waves that are more than 2000 meters high. All areas (on the earth) except the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau will be underwater;

2. Detonate thousands of nuclear bombs simultaneously in the Himalayas. This can change the Earth’s orbit track, and the earth will take all mankind to the boundless Dark Universe;

3. Drill a 10,000-meter deep hole in the Sichuan Basin, implant thousands of nuclear bombs, and detonate them simultaneously. This will trigger the collapse of the Earth’s Core and the extinction of mankind all over the world.

Therefore, if Trump is dead set on going against China, not leaving any living space for the yellow and black races, or even intervening in the future war to liberate Taiwan, the ultimate result of his action is the destruction of all mankind.

I admit that this line of thinking is very sinful. However, when we come to the end of the line, this is the final solution. Americans cannot get away with anti-human actions and survive alone. By meddling in China’s affairs, are the Americans prepared to have every single American meet God? ( Jennifer’s note: “Meet God” means die) Trump should think hard and do a good evaluation.

On Sep 8th, when more than 27 million people have been infected by COVID19 or the CCP virus, and nearly 900 K people killed by it, and when the pandemic is far from being controlled and is still spreading and killing people in many countries, the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP, which is responsible for the spread of the virus, was celebrating its “victory” over the pandemic, and giving awards to their “national heroes’ and “role models” who are addressed as “COVID19 fighters”. 

Why would the CCP hold such a ceremony without considering how those who are affected or have lost their loved ones would feel about their celebration? Why can the pandemic be a victory for the CCP? What is the real death toll in China? Today, let’s discuss these issues.

Four “National Heroes” and Their Roles in the CCP’s “Fight” Against COVID-19

The grand ceremony was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing with a lot of fanfare. The “National People’s Heroes” were escorted to the venue by beautifully looking, fully dressed up soldiers, and greeted by red carpet and top CCP leaders. 

Some 3000 people attended the grand celebration, about 1500 individuals, 500 organizations or teams, 200 CCP members, and 150 CCP branches all received awards, while 4 individuals were given the highest civilian award, “the Medal of the Republic”, and honored as “National People’s Heroes”. 

The 4  “National Heroes” are Zhong Nanshan, Zhang Boli, Zhang Dingyu, and Chen Wei. 

Many people who have been following the CCP virus pandemic might be very familiar with Dr. Zhong Nanshan. He is a famed expert who was chosen by the CCP to announce that the CCP virus was transmittable from human to human on January 20th this year. He led a group of medics to join the CCP while “fighting at the front line” on March 2nd and vowed that he would dedicate the rest of his entire life to the CCP.

On February 27th, he made a statement that “The epidemic first appeared in China, but that doesn’t mean that the virus originated in China.” He also declared that the pandemic might be over in April. 

His statement about the virus not necessarily originating in China gave the CCP’s spokesman Zhao Lijian some “theoretical” foundation to claim in May that “It might be the US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan”. 

Dr. Zhang Boli is a Chinese medicine physician. He is a member of the CCP’s “Central Steering Expert Group ” and led 209 doctors to work at one of the so-called “Fangcang” hospitals in Wuhan in February. There were videos about these Fangcang hospitals showing that the condition of them was very poor, and patients complaining that they hadn’t seen a doctor in three days. One video shows patients and doctors forming a CCP branch inside a Fangcang hospital and pledged their loyalty to the party. 

We can also see a photo of Dr. Zhang Boli in front of a CCP flag in a report about him. So, he is also a CCP medical expert. 

Another “National Hero” is Zhang Dingyu, the vice director of the Health Commission of Hubei Province, where the pandemic started. Wuhan is the capital city of Hubei Province. If you have watched my series of The Comprehensive Timeline of the CCP’s Cover-up of the COVID-19 Pandemic, you will know that the Health Commission of Hubei Province released a lot of false information about the pandemic, such as the disease was not transmittable. It also asked the gene-sequencing company not to test samples of COVID19 patients on January 1st. 

So we can say that this “hero” has done a very good job in helping the CCP cover up the pandemic.

The fourth “hero” is Chen Wei. She is a general in the CCP’s army, People’s Liberation Army,  and a researcher and doctoral supervisor at the Academy of Military Medical Sciences. She was sent to Wuhan on January 26th as the head of the Military expert team to study the virus and to develop a vaccine. 

People have questioned why military experts were sent to Wuhan when Wuhan has its own virology institute, and this institute is considered the best in China.

Anyway, Chen Wei claimed that the recombinant COVID19 vaccine was successfully developed by her team as early as Feb. 26th. 

Many people and experts have questioned how Chen Wei’s team could develop a recombinant vaccine in only one month, as normally 5 months would be needed to develop such a vaccine. If she could produce it in Feb, it means they already had the virus strain as early as last Sep. This again brings up the question about the origin of the virus. 

I am not an expert in this area, so I will leave this question open here. If you know better about the timing of vaccine development, please leave a comment below to let us know whether it’s possible to develop a recombinant vaccine in such a short time.

Anyway, the vaccine issue is a very important one for the CCP; and is also the reason why Chen Wei won her “National Hero” title. I will discuss this later. 

It was reported that Chen Wei’s vaccine was approved for clinical use on March 16th. On April 12th, it entered the Phase II  clinical trials. And on Aug 11th, it gained the National Invention Patent. 

Why Now?

Next, let’s discuss why the CCP held such a grand ceremony at such a time.

Reason 1:  The CCP is in desperate need to “turn” this page, to end this “episode” of their drama so that nobody will talk about holding it accountable for the spread of the pandemic, the human life, and economic losses both inside and outside of China. 

Reason 2: Xi Jinping needs a “victory” to suppress dissenting voices within the party. 

I’ve talked about CCP’s internal power struggles in my previous shows. Even members of the so-called “Second-generation Red” of the CCP are publicly criticizing Xi Jinping for his mishandling of many things.  

Furthermore, in October, the CCP will hold its 5th Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee. Many important things will be decided at this session, including the CCP’s 14th Five Year Plan, whether Xi Jinping is going to appoint a successor, and who can enter the power center of the 20th Central Committee of the CCP, etc. 

The CCP holds a national congress every five years to decide who is going to be the next head of the party. The importance is like the election in the US, although it is not an election. 

Xi Jinping changed China’s constitution in 2018 to abolish term limits for the president, giving him the ability to stay in power forever. 

However, talks about getting rid of him to save the party have been passed around for quite a while now, so Xi Jinping desperately needed something to show that he was still in absolute control of everything and that he was the one who had the ability to lead China to overcome a challenge as huge as the COVID-19 pandemic. So he must stay in power forever. 

Why Can the Pandemic be a Victory for the CCP?

For anyone with a normal mentality, it’s very hard to declare “victory” over a human tragedy that has taken more than 900 K human lives. We can only mourn for the losses, and reflect on how we can avoid such human tragedy in the future.

However, for the CCP, it could be a victory, for the following reasons.

Reason 1: The CCP doesn’t care about human life. So the loss of human lives is nothing for it.

On the contrary, the pandemic can be turned into a tool for the CCP to seek hegemony in the world. Before the pandemic reached other countries, the CCP mobilized its global networks of overseas organizations and overseas Chinese people to buy up all the masks and other personal protective equipment of other countries, and send them back to China. 

And after the pandemic reached other countries, and when those countries were suffering badly from it, the CCP used its medical supply, such as masks, to force other countries to listen to its orders. 

For example, the CCP asked France to use Huawei equipment to build 5G networks in exchange for one billion masks. So medical supplies can be weaponized and give the CCP more power.

 Reason 2:   Another benefit for the CCP is that it can use the vaccine as another weapon to seek hegemony. Chen Wei has openly declared that “The vaccine is an ultimate weapon.” Let’s listen to her own speech. By the way, this speech was part of the CCP TV program “The First Class of the New School Year” and was broadcast on Sept 2nd by the CCP’s most important mouthpiece  “Central China Television.”

So, the CCP’s plan is, if they can have a vaccine earlier than other countries, they will have “an ultimate weapon” in their hands. In this sense, this pandemic is of course a “victory” for them.

Real Death Toll

Is it really a victory? How many people have died in China due to the CCP virus? Since I’ve been sharing heavily all sorts of first hand information from China about the pandemic as soon as this thing started in Wuhan, before many people realized what a big issue this could be, someone once called me “the number 1 journalist on the coronavirus”, and I was often asked to give out my own estimation about how many Chinese people really died.

As far as I am concerned, perhaps the closest estimation can come from the decrease of cell phone users in China. I might be the first or one of the first, people to share about this issue back in March.
Basically, I checked the data of all the three major mobile phone carriers in China,  I even managed to obtain an internal table of China Mobile from a source in China who has access to this kind of data as he works in this industry. I put all the numbers together and concluded that 3 major mobile phone carriers in China lost 21.5 million users in the first 2 months of 2020.

Many mainstream media later also reported the huge loss of mobile phone users. I guess everybody has read those stories.

The reason for the losses can be:

1. The users have died;

2. Some users had more than 1 sim card before the pandemic, and have canceled the extra card or cards afterward since they couldn’t afford multiple cards anymore.

The issue is, not that many people own more than one sim card or more than one phone in China. The CCP’s premier Li Keqiang openly admitted that as many as 600 million people have an income of less than 1000 yuan or $144 per month. These people definitely cannot afford to have more than 1 sim card, right? China has 1.4 billion people, so 600 million is almost half of the population.

As the cell phone has become such an important item for almost everyone, especially for people in China, it’s the last thing people will discard even during hard times. 

Say, people usually have three meals every day. If they don’t have enough money, they may still manage to survive with only 2 meals. 

However, life can become almost impossible without a phone, as you need to stay in touch with family and friends, get important news updates and information, pay your bills, buy everyday stuff, etc.

So, even if we adopt a very conservative assumption and assume that half of the cell phone user decrease was the result of people canceling their extra cards or phones, the “net loss” number is still as huge as 10 million.

Is this number too big to hide? Probably not. About 35 to 45 million people starved to death during the Chinese Great Famine from 1959 to 1961, as many as 20 million could have died during China’s Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976. Did the people of the world feel and know about the losses then? Did the people inside China know about the huge numbers then? Do the majority of Chinese people today know or feel anything about the huge numbers now? 

No, they didn’t; no, they don’t.

History often repeats itself with some sort of slight or perhaps bigger changes. But some people always fail to learn the lesson. If anybody or the CCP has a better explanation for the cell phone user losses, please share it with the world, and I am willing to listen.

That’s all for today. Thank you for watching. Truth, no matter how inconvenient it is, does save lives. Please subscribe to my channel, and check out my other videos.

Thank you. See you next time!

曾錚1979年在四川綿竹縣參加匯演。

Found an old photo of a young me, in 1979, at Mianzhu County, #Sichuan Province, #China.

I was studying in middle school at Hanwang Town and was selected to go to the county to perform on behalf of our school. For all the selected students, that was a big deal and an important event. So we went to a studio to have our photos taken after the performance.

At that time, nobody owned personal cameras. Whenever we needed a photo, we always went to a professional studio to have it done.

剛找到一張小時候的老照片。是1979年，代表漢旺鎮中學到四川綿竹縣參加文藝匯演的。對那時生活在小鎮中的我們，到縣城去演出就是個人生大事了，所以演出完了特意到照相館拍照留念。

那個年代還沒有誰有家用相機，有事情都要到照相館去拍。

For the past few months, as the world is grappling with coronavirus that probably originated in China, it looks like Twitter too may have become victim of a censorship bug that could have the same origin.

By Saikiran Kannan

Twitter is the platform where people from all over the world, including leaders and celebrities, voice their opinions freely. But this free speech model did not go well within the governance framework of the Communist Party of China (CCP); the microblogging site was banned in mainland China and its equivalent called Sina Weibo emerged. Here’s the catch: users’ posts on Weibo are heavily-monitored and censored, removing the very essence of free speech.

For the past few months, as the world is grappling with coronavirus that probably originated in China, it looks like Twitter too may have become victim of a censorship bug that could have the same origin.

Row over Twitter hiring new AI expert

There was a lot of controversy when Fei-Fei Li, an artificial intelligence (AI) expert who allegedly has close connections with the CCP, was appointed to the board of Twitter as an Independent Director in May 2020.

Li quit her role as chief scientist of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) from Google in October 2018 following a controversy surrounding Google’s Project Maven initiative, which helped the Pentagon identify drone targets from blurry video footage.

2020/9/9

Hello, everyone! Welcome to “Inconvenient Truths by Jennifer Zeng”.

On Sep. 3, the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP’s head Xi Jinping delivered a speech at a symposium to mark the 75th anniversary of the victory of the war against Japan, the World Anti-Fascist War. Toward the end of his lengthy speech, he mentioned: “Chinese people absolutely not allowing” five times in a row, including not allowing attempts by anyone or any forces to “distort the history” of the CCP, not allowing anyone or any forces to “separate” the CCP from the Chinese people, etc. What are the hidden messages behind his five “not allowings”? Why do people say that these “not allowings” reflect Xi Jinping’s panic mode and deepest fears? Let’s discuss these issues today.

The 1st “Now Allowing”: The CCP Fears that Its History, Evil Nature, and Mission Will Become Known

First, let’s watch his first “not allowing”.

So what is the hidden message of not allowing anyone or any forces to “distort the history” of the CCP, and to “vilify its nature and mission”?

The message is, that the CCP fears very much that its true history, nature, and mission will be exposed.

One of the biggest lies the CCP told to the Chinese people is that the CCP had led the Chinese people to win the war against Japan from 1937 to 1945, and drove the Japanese invaders out of China. The CCP has been using this big lie as one of the most important foundations of its legitimacy. 

However, in recent years, especially after the publication of historian Xi Haonian’s book “Which is the New China: Distinguishing between Right and Wrong in Modern Chinese History”, more and more Chinese people started to realize that it was the Kuomintang, or the Chinese Nationalist Party, that had really fought the war against Japan, while the CCP was just hiding in the mountains, finding opportunities to expand its power and territory, and not fighting the Japanese. 

Apart from this, another important book published in 2004 titled “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” bluntly points out that the Communist Party is an evil specter that attaches itself to the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. This evil specter opposes nature and human nature and relies on violence and terror to gain and maintain power, and uses lies to justify violence.

Another book published in 2019 by the Epoch Times is titled “The Ultimate Mission of Communism”. This book points out that the ultimate mission of Communism is to destroy mankind.

The publication of the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” triggered a global “Quit the CCP” movement, or Tuidang in Chinese. Many Chinese people inside and outside of China have chosen to quit the CCP and its related organizations including the Youth League and the Young Pioneers, with either their real names or aliases. 

This movement started in 2004. Up to now, over 363 million people have published their statements to quit the CCP at the Epoch Time’s Quit The CCP, or Tuidang website.

So, what lies behind Xi Jinping’s first “not allowing” is the CCP’s deepest fear about its own legitimacy, as well as its true nature and mission being seen through by more and more people in the world.

The 2nd “Now Allowing”: The CCP Fears That Its Socialist System Will Be Questioned and Challenged

Now, let’s watch Xi Jinping’s second “not allowing”.

This “not allowing” is not allowing “anyone or any force to distort and change the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, deny and vilify the great achievements of the Chinese people in building socialism.” 

This “not allowing” reflects the CCP’s deep fear of people questioning their system, especially when US President Trump repeatedly criticized socialism, and vowed that “America will never be a socialist country.” 

The CCP has spent an astronomical amount of money to invest in its “One Belt and One Road Initiative”  and to promote its “China model”, and a vision of the so-called “a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind”. However, with more and more countries realizing the CCP’s hidden agenda attached behind its money, and with so many countries losing so many lives as a result of the CCP’s cover-ups of the COVID19 pandemic,  the CCP’s “China model” is quickly losing its appeal. 

I think the CCP definitely feels the pressure. That’s why Xi Jinping is shouting out loud about this “not allowing” like someone whistling in the dark.

The 3rd “Now Allowing”:  The CCP Fears that The World Separates it from The Chinese People

Now, let’s go to Xi Jinping’s third “not allowing”.

This third “not allowing” can be said to be the deepest fear of the CCP. For many decades, the CCP has successfully attached itself to the Chinese people and the Chinese nation and sucked their blood. 

For many decades, the CCP claimed that it represented the Chinese people, but never allowed Chinese people to speak for themselves. On the contrary, it persecutes the Chinese people all the time. That is the situation inside China.

Outside of China, the international world also confused the CCP with China and the Chinese people, mistakenly believing that the CCP, and the Chinese people are the same thing. 

Behind this confusion is the admission that the CCP’s regime is the legitimate government of China as if it were elected by the people.

However, the situation has recently started to change dramatically. Although the CCP has been trying very hard to suppress, downplay, and cover-up the “Quit the CCP” movement, it can hardly hide the fact that more and more western politicians are differentiating the CCP with China and the Chinese people. 

In his speech at the Nixon Library on July 23, US Secretary of State Pompeo said that “ I grew up and served my time in the Army during the Cold War. And if there is one thing I learned, communists almost always lie. The biggest lie that they tell is to think that they speak for the1.4 billion people who are surveilled, oppressed, and too scared to speak out.”

Many China observers have noticed that Secretary Pompeo has stopped using “China” when he talks about problems created by the CCP. Instead, he now always uses the CCP. 

Furthermore, he no longer addresses Xi Jinping as the “Chinese president”, but refers to him as “General Secretary Xi Jinping”.

This means that the US government recognizes the fact that the CCP doesn’t represent China or the Chinese people, the CCP’s party secretary may not necessarily be the legitimate president of the country, like in other democratic countries.

I know some people are lobbying for the US to designate the CCP as a criminal and terrorist organization. If Secretary Pompeo has stopped referring to Xi Jinping as the “president” of China, that’s a huge issue for the CCP, as that means the US might one day declare that the CCP’s regime is not a legitimate one.

So, what is hidden in the third “not allowing” of Xi Jinping is the CCP’s biggest fear that it will no longer be able to take the Chinese people and the Chinese nation as their hostages to do evil; it can no longer exploit the 1.4 billion Chinese people, treating them like slaves while sacrificing their interests and even lives to save itself.

Wouldn’t you say that Xi Jinping has very good reason to be in panic mode? 

The 4th “Not Allowing”:  The CCP Fears that It Will No Longer Be Able to Take Advantage of Other Countries Through its Unscrupulous Ways like Before

This fourth “not allowing” is actually an indirect response to the domestic and international calls w for a democratic China, as well as the Trump administration’s call for reciprocity in trade and other relations with China. 

The hidden message in this one is that the CCP wants to continue its old ways, which is to take advantage of other countries and to make huge profits using unscrupulous practices. 

When other countries, especially the US, start to talk about making the CCP abide by the international rules, the CCP feels like it’s being treated “unfairly”, as it’s become accustomed to having a free ride.

The 5th “Now Allowing”:  The CCP Fears Other Countries Joining Forces to Fight Back Against It

The fifth “not allowing” reflects the CCP’s current situation of having encountered a lot of diplomatic setbacks.  Recently  U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo has been visiting Europe frequently and has successfully convinced some European countries to abandon the idea of working with the CCP’s Huawei on 5G construction. 

The U.S., Czech Republic, and some other countries have enhanced their relationships with Taiwan, as a countermeasure to fight back against the CCP’s aggressive expansion. 

With the U.S. Undersecretary of State Keith Krach’s possible visit to Taiwan by the end of September, the diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Taiwan will be enhanced to another, new level. 

In the Indo-pacific, South-East Asia, South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait area, the U.S., Japan, Australia, India, and Taiwan have joined forces to tackle the CCP’s expansion. The U.S. and Australia have clearly expressed their stance that the CCP’s territorial claim in the South China Sea is illegal and that they would not recognize it.  

The U.S. has also increased its military presence in the South China Sea. Some even say that the U.S. might someday destroy the artificial islands built by the CCP.

So, looking at the global situation, we can see that the CCP is under siege from all fronts, that’s why many China observers see panic and despair in Xi Jinping’s five “not allowings”.

That’s all for today. Thank you for watching. Please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t, and check out my other videos.
