The stormy waves and turbulent river currents are growing increasingly fierce
The poem vidly depicting a man from Shaanxi who saved a life sparked a widespread movement to punish corrupt officials receiving strong public support
Bold move song parodying Xi Jinping draws public mockery
Why do so many people hate Xi so deeply it's in his bones
Chaos following Zhang Youxie's collapse—could China face a military coup
The Chinese Communist Party's delusion of great-power status challenges the United States in the Persian Gulf and the Yellow Sea
The Chinese Communist Party continues exporting international terrorism threatening and causing trouble for the Prime Minister of Denmark
The waves grew fiercer the river's current more turbulent as the tower's days grew ever more violent
The poem vidly portrays the Shaanxi rebel who sparked a movement to eliminate corrupt officials gaining widespread support
China's Communist Party has ruled with increasing harshness over the past decades
defying the will of the people and allowing social grievances to accumulate unchecked
Many people seem to have reached their breaking point and voices of
resistance calling for change are emerging with increasing frequency
In particular the viral "belly explosion village" movement which called for revenge against corrupt officials revealed that public outrage had reached its peak
As we reported in previous news updates during the
Lantern Festival in Longhui County Hunan Province
A 68-year-old man acting alone suddenly attacked and killed 37 corrupt officials with a sickle
In a shocking act of revenge that shook
the nation social media posts revealed tha
Forced into a corner by relentless pressure from local
authorities all appeals and pleas for help were ignored
He secretly slipped a sleeping agent into their feast then
used a sickle to incapacitate thirty-seven officials on the spot
In response to the event netizens expressed enthusiastic support and
praised the action with one comment
stating it was truly awe-inspiring
Eliminate corrupt officials as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs sweeping them all away
See how long you dare to defy me today
Eventually they'll end up on the list of
those who must atone Another person added
Normally wicked hearts greedy for power and eager to oppress the innocent know no fear of retribution
But thankfully the sword of justice has now been sharpened with iron resolve
Previously the slogans directly challenged the Chinese
Communist Party and threatened the lives of Xi Jinping's family
Also appearing in public restrooms in various locations
Recently on the Chinese mainland internet
A poem titled
The Sha Xi'an figure also known
as the Sha Xian Ren drew widespread
attention before being quickly
cordoned off by authorities
Shaanxi is President Xi Jinping's ancestral hometown which
is why this term is commonly used by Chinese internet users
As a subtle way to circumvent censorship
the fact that the poem was removed
within just a few hours reveals the authorities' extreme sensitivity
For this work
According to screenshots published by Account X
Teacher Li is not your teacher
The poem does not directly mention Shaanxi
Within the content yet overflowing with
metaphors and allusions
lines of poetry such as
The boundary between the mortal world and
the underworld is blurred
and indistinct mountains rise steep and secluded hidden in shadowed corners overlooked by all
We will use the prairie fire to burn away all misfortune
We will awaken through resistance
And scatter faith multiplied across the world
For flowers and grass to flourish
interpreted broadly as veiled words
subtle criticism of societal conditions
Expressing resilience and calling for awakening

Because the one opposing Master Kang
is from Shaanxi Province—could it be the person who once attended elementary
school in Fuping County Liang Jiahe
We're talking about resistance and the
poor—of course they're terrified now
Recently there's been an outbreak in Shaanxi
with an unusually high number of cases
And occasionally a tower
would collapse—truly an
unpredictable era—these comments spread rapidly
Before being deleted
This poem is not an isolated case
Earlier on the eve of Lunar New Year the 16th
A Douyin blogger posed the question:
If killing someone isn't against the law
Whom would you shoot first
Teacher Li's account commented
Focusing solely one name
That is Xi Jinping
One user wrote
If I say it aloud I'll be shot
Today is New Year's Eve
And I dare not speak
On February 10
A video clip featuring the national anthem of the Republic of China
A user publicly sang the words: "
Call for the overthrow of the Chinese
Communist regime arrest high-ranking
leaders and restore the Republic "
These posts were quickly taken down but their
spread left a lasting impact
Human Rights Organizatio
In China recent commentary has noted that toppling
towers has become a political
metaphor for the digital age
In an online broadcast in China
the tower symbolizes the centralized authoritarian system
of the Chinese Communist Party
Xi Jinping is a colossal censorship apparatus
Breaking through the tower means publicly posting statements
Criticism is directed at the Chinese
Communist Party and its top leadership with
participants fully aware of the consequences—
having their posts deleted and accounts suspended
Even when subjected to police harassment they
remained steadfast giving rise to what came
to be known as the digital suicide squad—a
clear signal of a psychological turning point
As fear gradually gives way
to the long-suppressed need
to release pent-up anger the
article argues further tha
The so-called tower-demolition campaign
Represents a test of endurance
For the Chinese Communist Party's totalitarian governance model
As young internet users in China continue to remember
the event of 8964 slogans from the
Fourth Bridge remain resonant
And directly challenging the towering
fortress sent a chilling message
to the dictatorship— the thick layer of ice had finally been shattered
And a people's class
furious and fearless dares
to act boldly—singing a
song that mocks Xi Jinping
Mocked by the public
Why do so many people hate President Xi so deeply
With hatred running bone-deep
At dawn on February 19
A portrait of President Xi Jinping has
been blurred using a
color gradient effect
Suddenly appearing on the Nestle
Cloud Music platform in the role of
album artwork the song from
this album bears the simple title Hong Kong
Immediately after being posted the song quickly
spread across the internet with a massive
wave of users sharing and reposting it sparking
an explosion of comments in just a short time
With content described as a dual assault on the tower
With direct remarks aimed at President Xi
However this song exists only
Less than half an hour before being swiftly taken down some
users reported that their accounts
had been permanently locked
Just leaving a single comment in the
comments section many users across
mainland China have posted remarks filled with subtle implications
The song is fine but the cover art is terrible
This is my elementary school friend
Has the person in the cover photo finished middle school
And my elementary school classmate
Had a very poor report card
All these words are sarcastic remarks
And mockery aimed directly
at Xi Jinping's competence and
his relatives Some users have shared their experiences
Similarly on other platforms I mentioned Tai Qi
only once on Douyin and got
banned for about 30 days
If I so much as touch Xi

My Nextcloud account has been locked since 2018 already
Others have commented that
The review speed is usually proportional
The level of fear has reached a new peak as public dissatisfaction
with Xi Jinping intensifies
And this era is the darkest period yet
On February 15 the Nextcloud account named
Fight for Freedom posted
In 2026 both inside
and outside the Great
Wall of Fire people are all questioning
Why do so many people harbor such deep resentment toward
President Xi Jinping The post
has outlined four main reasons
Economic decline
Destruction of livelihoods
Oppressive social control
Ongoing debates over human rights issues
In Xinjiang Hong Kong and Tibet they have firmly rejected
international criticism and
adopted a tough foreign policy
Worsened the external environment outside China
The post cites examples such as
The prolonged real estate crisis
Pushing major corporations like Hang Dai and Bich Quyenvien into
financial distress while youth
unemployment remains at a high level
The pressure weighs heavily on private enterprises
The article also revisits the controversies surrounding the Zero
Covid policy prolonged lockdowns in
Shanghai and the detention centers
In Xinjiang issues previously
raised in United Nations reports
In Hong Kong the national security law is widely seen as
having fundamentally transformed
the city's political landscape
The article concludes that from the high expectations when Mr Xi first
took office to the current disillusionment
growing discontent has emerged
According to the author as conventional channels for expressing
opinions are increasingly restricted many people have turned to satire
Metaphorical or indirect criticism
Among online users
Some argue that what
people truly hate
It is the entire system of the Chinese Communist Party
If we simply remove him personally
would the world truly better off
As long as the Chinese Communist
Party remains in power the world
will never know a single day of peace Others have commented tha
What's truly detestable is the system itself—the Chinese Communist Party—
where without an established successor
someone else will inevitably take over
Thus the Chinese Communist Party
must be overthrown Some also assert
that dissolving the Chinese Communist
Party is the only viable solution
Chaos following the collapse of Zhang Huoxie
Could China experience a military coup
After Zhang Hu Xie fell from
his horse a wave of rumors
and signs began to spread with some sources confirming tha
Other sources have even alleged that
His pro-family units
Exhibited unusual movements
As if preparing to launch
A military coup
A question long present in
political discussions in China
Could the military be undergoing a major upheaval
Soldiers may intervene in politics
Could it even be a coup d'état Looking back at modern Chinese
history military intervention
in politics is not unprecedented
There was precedent for this—
during the Cultural Revolution
armed forces were deeply involved in local administration
The Lin Biao incident of 1971
A quintessential example of high-level power struggles
However following that event
The highest leadership has reached
a firm consensus: the military must
never under any circumstances
become an independent political force
Since Deng Xiaoping military reform has always centered one key principle: minimizing political
autonomy to the greatest extent possible
Of the armed forces
And consolidating the Party's absolute control
the People's Liberation Army of China
Today three defining characteristics have emerged: first
senior officers lacking an
independent political foundation
Their rise influence and voice entirely depends on the Party's
internal evaluation system Secondly
the military structure is fragmented
A deliberate design of rigid
institutional barriers separates monarchs
from military strongholds making
coordinated political action difficult
Structurally becoming increasingly strained
Third political surveillance is omnipresent
Social media communication
Transfer assignments and
retirement agreements are both
managed under strict oversight within such a framework
If officers wish to influence
policies open confrontation is not a practical path
more effective channels exist
Internal recommendation compelling
enough or at the operational level
The case of Truong Ho Hiep
provides clear evidence of this with
the charges focusing on undermining the accountability system
The Chairman of the Central Military
Commission's statement reveals internal tensions
within the decision-making system more than it
represents an external effort to overthrow it
If military intervention occurs in the future
it will take the form of an implicit counter-coup
For sensitive issues such
as Taiwan policy allocation
of national defense budget or strategic direction
Instead of an open challenge to the central
government over the
prospect of a military coup
The most anticipated script
remains highly underwhelming in
execution China's armed forces are
not structured as a single entity
Monolithic systems capable
of unified action under a
single command instead
designed with layered controls
And horizontally separated by key
assets such as strategic weapons
intelligence systems and the
authority to mobilize military forces
All are tightly concentrated at the center any
unusual troop movements
would quickly be politicized
And regarded as an不可tolerable
political risk compared
to the coup attempt on August 19 in the Soviet Union
China's institutional design always treats
preventing collective
military action as a red line
The storm of rumors following the downfall of Mr Truong Huu Hiep
and the subsequent information leaks fueling conspiracy theories
Reflecting the emergence of political imaginatio
A successful coup requires effective coordination of operational
space and political legitimacy—
conditions that are currently lacking
The likelihood of a feudal-style regime reemerging is even
lower in light of Vietnam's
historical rise of military power
When the central government
loses control over financial
resources personnel appointments and military deployme
In China today these leverage points are more concentrated than ever
Operating as combat units the strategic strongholds function as integrated作战 units
More than political fiefdoms senior officers were constantly
shifting allegiances and unable to
establish stable local power bases
The military has long been deprived of the foundation
of economic independence even when disruptions occur
The highest levels of the Central Military Commission
Local forces also find it difficult to
Transform into self-governing political entities
The downfall of Mr Truong Ho Hiep
Does not mark the beginning
Of military factionalism
On the contrary it further consolidates power concentration
Significant risks ahead
As the system's stability increasingly depends on discipline
and deterrence decision-making
power becomes highly centralized
And dissenting opinions
face difficulty in being
conveyed upward the military may not mutiny
But they may gradually lose the ability to
give candid responses Currently the armed
forces remain firmly under the party's command with weapons securely controlled
Yet maintaining this framework appears to require an ever-
growing political cost—could
a tank-led coup possibly occur
There is no return to the era
of military rule but the risks
from silence complacency and passive compliance are growing
For Xi Jinping even if he
had sufficient grounds to
carry out such a high-intensity
purge within the military
The scale of the party's ambitions likely
was not fully appreciated from the outset
giving rise to the Communist Party of China's grandiose illusions of national power
Challenges facing the United States in the Persian Gulf and the Yellow Sea
In recent days the talks in

The Persian Gulf once the world's most vital oil transit artery
has now become a pressure cooker
filled with steel and gunpowder
The U S Navy's two air combat strike groups have been fully

February 19
Chinese naval vessels entered the waters near Hormuz Strait
Announced joint military exercise under name
Maritime Security Belt 2026
Alongside Russia and Iran
Beijing's state media describes
This move is the responsibility of a major power yet
the composition of the forces tells a different story
There was no appearance of Type 055 destroyers no
multi-layered air defense
system and no support fleet
A solid forward base to sustain prolonged combat operations no suitable
aerial cover network available this is
not a unit designed for such a mission
To counter the air groups the U
S aircraft carrier—essentially
just a signal intelligence gathering platform—was deployed
Meanwhile on February 18 U S F-16 fighter jets
stationed in South Korea
approached the edge of the area
China's air defense identification zone
on the Yellow Sea
the North Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army
to deploy interceptors
Neither side has crossed the escalation
threshold as Washington has demonstrated its ability to operate
simultaneously across multiple strategic fronts
Beijing responded with concrete actions yet limited signals
of caution opting not to prepare
for a full-scale confrontation
China is often portrayed
as an equal
rival yet this image does not fully reflect the internal reality
Economic growth has slowed down
the burden of debt is heavy local governments are under great strain and
the real estate sector remains fragile
Capital flight continues unabated
Within the political system
High-level purges and sudden personnel changes
Especially within the military and
security apparatus this signals internal
distrust an institution that must constantly reinforce its warlike nature
Through information dissemination
and control the systemic
shock of a full-scale war cannot be easily absorbed
All strategic calculations must pass through the
Filter of the regime's survival imperative
Therefore Beijing's objective
Is not direct confrontation
And it is strategic opportunism
—should
Washington become bogged down in a prolonged bombing campaign against Ira
Along with precision-guided munitions reserves such as Tomahaw
JDAMER And LRASM
Will be depleted
Limited replenishment cycle due to industrial capacity
Temporary narrowing of the deterrence threshold
In the Indo-Pacific region
It may follow later
That is the window of opportunity
Which Beijing is closely monitoring
However the United States does not rely
solely on ammunition it holds systemic
power by controlling the primary supply of advanced semiconductor materials
Dominance over the dollar-based financial system
The global intelligence network and the energy leverage tool
Through large-scale exports of
liquefied natural gas and shale oil
should military action occur it
could be structured as a campaign
Focus on accuracy with a time
limit to weaken military infrastructure
and nuclear capabilities
Instead of engaging in endless campaigns to overthrow the regime
the objective will be to neutralize its combat capabilities
Within a framework of controlled
escalation not occupation the energy market
is a crucial variable—accounting for
roughly one-fifth of global energy
Flowing through the Strait
of Hormuz any disruption would
cause prices to skyrocket however unlike previous decades
The United States is currently one of the world's leading oil producers
Prolonged maritime disruptions will exert pressure
on their economy Russia
has voiced support for Iran
But the war in Ukraine has significantly
drained Moscow's industrial and
financial capabilities and their support
is largely political and rhetorical
There is no credible indication that Russia is prepared to engage in
direct military confrontation with
the United States in the Persian Gulf
The strategic focal point remains Taiwan
If Beijing interprets a conflict as such
In the Middle East it's an opportunity to take decisive action across
the strait—placing the regime's future
at risk and making a daring gamble
The conflict in Taiwan will not be
limited to episodes of armed clashes
It will trigger comprehensive
financial sanctions technological
decoupling maritime blockades and a severe capital flight wave
For an economy dependent on exports and
deeply integrated into global supply chains
That scenario carries the risk of collapse what is
typically promoted domestically is national revival
Under miscalculation it can quickly become
Rapid internal exhaustion
In an era of intense competition great powers are growing increasingly confrontational
Stability will not be sustained
through empty rhetoric or symbolic military deployments
it will depend o
Disciplined escalation management
Preserving strategic reserve resources
And maintaining system-level advantages
When the sword of Democrit dips too low
a single miscalculation by any party
could reshape the global order
The Chinese Communist Party continues exporting international
terrorism threatening to trouble
the Prime Minister of Denmark
Recently the Chinese Communist Party has threatened
that the Prime Minister of Denmark will face trouble
In a manner similar to the previous
incident when a Chinese diplomat
publicly stated that Japan's Prime Minister should be decapitated
This information once again shocked
international public opinion
regarding the公开 threat to the personal safety of a head of state
As an utterly brazen act unprecedented in the context of
the modern international system
especially in recent years
When leaders from several democratic nations became targets of
assination plots the immediate
cause behind the incident in Denmar
Due to the Chinese Communist Party's fear
of the Shen Yun Performing Arts performances
Scheduled to take place from March 30 to April
2 featuring five performances at Rojo Arena
The Divine Comedy presents what it describes
as 5 000 years of traditional Chinese culture
However the Chinese Communist Party
Did everything possible to obstruct this event
On January 8 the Chinese Embassy
In Denmark statements have been posted in both
Chinese and English on the official website
Calling on overseas Chinese and Danish citizens not to attend
the event on February 10 organized by the performing unit
The Danish Fa Lang had received
a letter with the subject
line: If you deliberately organize a Fa Lang performance
The Danish Prime Minister will face trouble
The letter invoked the prime minister's safety
And that of senior government officials
Set up a trap demand cancellation of the performances
— these are not vague empty promises from America
It was a direct threat aimed at the
head of government
of a sovereign nation
Although no specific method
is mentioned the nature of this
action is equivalent to political intimidation and coercion
This incident recalls a similar case
At the beginning of November last year
When Chinese Consul General Tso Sa Ka
Posted online: A filthy little
head like that should be severed
without hesitation implying
Prime Minister Takaichi Sane
After she declared at the Japanese Parliament
that if a crisis were to occur in Taiwa
Could constitute an existential threat to Japan
by allowing the country
to deploy military forces
Constitutional self-defense The statement calling for the prime minister's decapitation sparked outrage in Japan
Yet
Beijing issued no apology whatsoever
Instead it sent signals supporting
this hardline stance no reports indicate
The consul-general must face any
disciplinary action whatsoever in
light of numerous assination attempts targeting democratic leaders
Held in recent years such threats
have become particularly concerning
especially regarding former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo
Shot dead in July 2022 while giving a campaign
speech in the United States
President Donald Trump
Frequently confronted with serious security
threats during public rallies and official speeches
Why does the Chinese Communist Party dare to issue such continuous threats
Because the Chinese Communist Party itself
Is a terrorist organization
Deceitful habitually dishonest and law-breaking—let alone international
intellectual property theft and failure
to comply with international trade laws
Repeated violations of legal commitments
Related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict
And promises regarding Hong Kong and Taiwan
And merely by examining their own actions one
sees that by suppressing human rights among
their people—no matter where or in whatever
matter—they consistently violate their own laws
In reality for the Communist Party of China
such despicable crude and contemptible
behaviors are manifestations of strength on the outside but weakness within
And helplessness What could they possibly do now
A cultural performance
It's something the entire world loves to watch
Even in their own laws
There isn't a single clause regarding it
People are banned from practicing qigong for health benefits yet
there is no law prohibiting Falun
Gong And yet for the past 26 years
They continue to suppress this group
without mercy Once water has spilled it
cannot be gathered back The world is
growing increasingly aware of the truth
While the Chinese Communist
Party clings desperately
to a collapsing wall
it can no longer let go
Unable to ascend unable to descend left with no choice
but to rely on petty intimidation
—so utterly disgraceful
In response to the threat directed at the Danish Prime Minister
politicians from the country strongly
condemned the incident on February 17
Ms Katrine Dugar cultural and social issues spokesperson for
the Liberal Alliance Party
emphasized that Denmark is a country
Respect for freedom and China's statements
have no place here She
emphasized that Denmar
Absolute artistic freedom is
guaranteed and citizens are
completely free to attend any
performance they choose Kim Valentine
Chairman of the Parliamentary Business Committee
Affirmed that
In Denmark the state does not interfere in citizens' personal choices
He described the Chinese
embassy's attempt to influence
Danish citizens as entirely
unacceptable and expressed hope tha
This debate will encourage even more people to attend the kidney
transplant event on February 20
when Mr Karl Andersen will be present
Party spokesperson on church affairs
of the Liberal Alliance
wrote in a letter to reporters tha
The statement issued by the Chinese Embassy is clearly
an attempt by a foreign superpower
to interfere in the right to assembly
Danish discourse and religion
