Qin Gang Killed? Jack Ma's Illegitimate Child Trap! Xi Took 3 Years to Oust Zhang Youxia!

After three years of complete disappearance, is a former foreign minister like Chin Gang still alive, or already dead? New claims assert that he was executed alongside 11 others in an incident that has never been officially disclosed. But the story doesn't stop there. It extends to the highly suspicious return of Jack Ma. Did he come back voluntarily, or was he compelled to return for a more sensitive agenda? Meanwhile, internal purges continue. Xi Jinping reportedly spent three years bringing down Jiang Yuxia, and now another major figure appears to be hanging by a thread.

Chin Gang Reportedly Dead, 12 Sentenced to Death On April 23rd, well-known independent media blogger Wei Yu revealed in her program, Wei Yu on Current Affairs, that a viewer had sent her an encrypted email claiming that Chin Gang is dead. According to the source, three separate channels, including senior military officials, the Nanjing Institute of International Relations, and the Disciplinary Inspection System, have all confirmed that he was executed by lethal injection. A total of 12 people were reportedly executed on the same day, including 10 members of the Rocket Force, formerly the 2nd Artillery, along with the son of former commander Li Yuchao. Their arrests allegedly took place on the same day a Russian delegation visited China. The reason, according to the source, is not related to the widely rumored Fu Shaoqin affair, but to other undisclosed factors. Chin Gang's story is well-known. In June 2023, after serving less than seven months as foreign minister, he suddenly disappeared from public view. In July, he was removed from his post. In October, he was stripped of his position as state councillor. By July 2024, the 3rd Plenary Session accepted his resignation and revoked his Central Committee membership. Throughout this entire process, Chinese authorities never provided a clear explanation. Rumors about the Fu Shaoqin affair spread widely online. However, execution over a mistress and an illegitimate child would be unprecedented in CCP history, and is considered highly unlikely, as it is not an issue the Party traditionally treats as taboo. In September 2024, The Washington Post reported that Chin had been reassigned to a low-level position at a publishing house under the foreign ministry, but staff there said they did not know him. Later, Ming Pao cited sources in Beijing claiming that the individual in question merely shared the same name. In October 2025, several bloggers on X posted photos claiming Chin appeared at an international music festival at the Qihao Art Center, dated October 17, 2025. Some believed it was really him, while others suspected it was a lookalike. In March 2026, Ming Pao reported that Chin had been demoted to vice-ministerial rank and forced into early retirement, the latest official narrative. However, Weiyu questioned this. If a former national-level official had simply been demoted and retired, why would he completely disappear from public view? Why has there been no public appearance at all? Retired officials typically still attend events, even if quietly. Rumors that Chin is dead began on the very first day of his disappearance. Online speculation has ranged from forced suicide to lethal injection. Official channels have never confirmed Chin Gang's whereabouts, nor whether he is alive. The only entity capable of clarifying the situation is the Chinese government. If Chin were still alive, a single public appearance or a brief video would be enough to dispel all rumors. Yet no such step has been taken. The question remains, why hasn't there been any official denial? Did Jack Ma return to secretly build a national biometric database? One of the most shocking claims sent to Weiyu concerns Jack Ma's return. According to the source, he came back because the CCP used an alleged illegitimate child to pressure him. His assigned task, to collect comprehensive data on ordinary citizens, including blood types, DNA, social networks, family members, full shopping histories, and bank account information, then store it all in chip-based archives. In exchange, the CCP reportedly promised him an official rank within the system and allowed him to build a global payment platform capable of competing with PayPal or Visa. This is said to explain his return. After living abroad since late 2022, in Japan, Thailand, the Netherlands, and Spain, he gradually reappeared within Alibaba from late 2023. By February 2025, he showed up at Alibaba's Hangzhou headquarters to lead AI's strategy. The official narrative is that the AI era required his leadership. However, Weiyu suggests the leaked explanation may not be implausible. Why? First, Alipay has around 1 billion users, effectively capturing the vast majority of Chinese consumer behavior and financial transactions. Alibaba Cloud is also one of the largest cloud infrastructures in China. If a biological database were to be built, there would be no need to create a new system, only to expand data within existing ones. If Jack Ma were to assist in building such a database, even for purposes like organ matching, it would grant authorities unprecedented capabilities. Second, there were rumors in 2023 that Premier Li Qian personally sent people abroad to persuade Jack Ma to return. Clearly not a simple matter. Li has a notably close personal relationship with Jack Ma, is highly politically savvy, and also maintains a strong connection with Xi Jinping. If he successfully negotiated Jack Ma's return, it likely came with certain guarantees. Third, it is widely known that the forces behind Ant Group are far from ordinary. On February 17, 2021, The Wall Street Journal published an investigative report based on interviews with over a dozen CCP officials and government advisors. It revealed that behind layers of opaque investment vehicles was a small circle of Chinese elites, some with ties to powerful political families, figures who posed potential challenges to Xi Jinping. The Wall Street Journal report specifically mentioned Jiang Zicheng, son of Jiang Mianheng and grandson of former CCP leader Jing Zemin, and Li Botun, son-in-law of former Politburo Standing Committee member and CPPCC chairman Cheng Lin, as among the secret investors in Ant Group. Subsequently, on July 14, 2014, The New York Times revealed that Alibaba Group, founded by Jack Ma, had shareholders including Jiang Zicheng, grandson of Jiang Zemin, Chen Yuan, son of CCP elder Chen Yun, He Jinlei, son of former Politburo Standing Committee member and CCDI secretary He Guoxiang, and Liu Lefei, son of former Politburo Standing Committee member Liu Yanshan. Chen Yun, He Guoxiang, and Liu Yanshan were all key figures within the Jiang faction. Jack Ma rose to become a giant in internet finance and maintained close ties with former CCP leader Jiang Zemin. His business flourished during Jiang Zemin's rule and expanded further when Jiang remained influential behind the scenes. Taobao and Alipay were established during this period and quickly came to dominate the market. In essence, behind Jack Ma stood powerful interest groups tied to the CCP faction led by Jiang Zemin and Zheng Qinghong. Up to now, Xi Jinping has investigated and dealt with a number of senior financial officials promoted by the Jiang Zeng faction, as well as financial crocodiles who profited in the markets on behalf of that faction. These anti-Xi forces have long been a major concern for him. By early 2022, Wall Street financier George Soros had publicly criticized Xi Jinping on four occasions, calling him the most dangerous enemy of an open society and expressing hope that someone would replace him. Xi may have come to believe that from mainland China to Wall Street, financial elites in both China and the United States, along with the political forces behind them, could be joining forces against him. This could be a fundamental reason why Xi has continued to tighten control over Jack Ma and Ant Group in ways that serve his own interests. Did Zhou Liang secretly contact Jiang Yuxia? Rumors say Wang Qishan has lost even the freedom to eat. There is another noteworthy development. According to Secret China, in March 2026, US-based independent commentator Kai Shengkun revealed that with Xi Jinping's takedown of Central Military Commission Vice Chairman Jiang Yuxia, the internal dynamics of the CCP are undergoing fundamental changes. By bringing down Jiang Yuxia, Xi has effectively alienated much of the princeling elite, military families, and elder factions. What he fears most now may be the potential coordination among a small group of retired top-level officials who still wield influence. Among them, the key figure Xi is most wary of and has repeatedly singled out is former CCDI Secretary Wang Qishan. Kai Shengkun recently stated that when it comes to dealing with Wang Qishan, only one question remains— whether Xi Jinping will ultimately decide to act. The weight of that decision would be enormous. Taking down Wang would send an even stronger signal than the removal of Jiang Yuxia. According to Kai, Xi spent three years laying the groundwork to bring down Jiang Yuxia. Jiang, he says, had been placed by elder figures such as Hu Jintao to oversee the military, restrain Xi, and prevent him from securing another term. After the 20th Party Congress, Xi began systematically dismantling Jiang's influence, starting from the periphery. Jiang Yuxia served as head of the General Armaments Department in October 2012 and later became the first director of the Equipment Development Department under the newly formed Central Military Commission in November 2015, serving until September 2017, when Li Shangfu succeeded him. Kai noted that Xi's campaign began with purging Li Shangfu and Wei Fengyi, the first commander of the Rocket Force, before eventually extending to Jiang Yuxia. At one point, there was a reversal. Jiang Yuxia reportedly struck back by bringing down Xi's close military allies Miao Hua and Heiwei Dong. Both were accused not only of corruption but also of involvement in alleged plots against the leadership, forcing Xi to cut off his own left and right arms. However, Jiang did not ultimately gain the upper hand, and by January 2026, he too was removed. With Jiang gone, Xi now appears to have very few strong allies within the CCP, aside from Kai Qi and Wang Xiaohong. Meanwhile, Zhou Liang, who had served as a close aide to Wang Qishan for 20 years, has also been dealt with. On April 21, 2026, China's Ministry of Human Resources announced that Zhou Liang had been removed from his post as deputy director of the Financial Supervision Administration. Kai Shengkun revealed that the lead in Zhou Liang's case may have come from testimony or investigations involving Jiang Yuxia and Liu Zhenli. This development reportedly left Xi deeply unsettled. If Zhou Liang indeed had connections with Jiang Yuxia and Liu Zhenli, it would suggest that Wang Qishan's influence extends not only within the party and among princeling networks, but also into the military. As a result, Wang's situation is becoming increasingly sensitive. Although Wang Qishan appeared to submit after the 19th Party Congress, Xi is believed to view this as merely a tactic of lying low and biding time, rather than genuine surrender. Since then, Xi has steadily purged Wang's network of loyalists. According to insider sources, Xi is still observing Wang for now and has not yet moved decisively against him. But Wang is already under strict control. It is said that Wang Qishan has lost not only his freedom of speech and movement, but even basic personal freedoms such as eating. Everything is under Xi's surveillance. Another view holds that Wang's situation is extremely precarious and that Xi may move against him as a warning to others, clearing obstacles for his continued rule at the 21st Party Congress in 2027. What do you think? Is Qin Gang still alive or not? Is Jack Ma truly helping collect data for the authorities? And what lies ahead for Wang Qishan? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
