Why China Suddenly Feels Politically Unstable

Hello everyone. Hi, happy Tuesday. All right, well, when state propaganda turns upside down, people start asking whether something inside China is going wrong. Something very strange is happening inside China's internet lately. As you know, for years, the Chinese internet has operated under the most, I should say, sophisticated censorship system. There's an entire army of moderators, AI filters, keyword blocks, and political surveillance systems constantly scanning online discussions in real time. Now, under normal circumstances, even mildly sensitive political jokes can disappear within minutes. But recently, many Chinese began noticing something unusual. Late at night, Douyin, China's version of TikTok, suddenly appeared flooded with politically sensitive content. Mockery of the CCP, sarcastic attacks on Xi Jinping, images related to Tiananmen Square pro-democracy movement, and even direct anti-Xi Jinping or anti-CCP rhetoric. Are they censorship failures, internal chaos, deliberate trolling, or growing public frustration? It's difficult to know for now. But one thing is becoming increasingly clear. The atmosphere inside China feels very different. And more and more people seem willing to test political boundaries in ways that would have been almost unimaginable a year ago. So let's go over that, from what happens on the internet to what happens on the ground, and also in the most secluded leadership compound behind the scenes. Let's cover them all tonight. Alright, so one image that attracted a lot of attention looked something like this. Yes, it's a long-haired woman who looks very much like Xi Jinping. It almost looks like a round circle. It's encased in a round circle that looks like a logo. But the comments section quickly turned sarcastic. Someone joked, can someone tell me whether the Xi liquor tastes good? The appearance looks fine, but I'm not sure about the flavor. Elsewhere, users circulated images of pigs. Here we go. Politically sensitive mockery inside China because many people have long used pigs as a satirical reference to Xi Jinping. So one image, the one on the right, showed a black pig head. And the comments underneath included remarks like, dirty pig, all it does is eat. Look at its ugly mouth. And another user wrote, why are pigs suddenly everywhere on Douyin these past few days? People said, what happened? Did Douyin fall into a pigsty, pigsy? My entire feed is full of pigs. And another image, the one on the left, showed a cartoon pig in a suit with the words, long live the Communist Party. Now, then things became even more politically sensitive. Other netizens uploaded images showing signs for Tiananmen Square. Like the one that you saw, this one has the tanks. Yeah, this one. Someone just posted a sign that says Tiananmen Square. And then someone else replied by posting an image of tanks. Now, everyone in China understands how politically dangerous the combination of Tiananmen and tanks is. The image immediately evoked memories of the 1989 crackdown and the tank columns that once rode down Chang'an Avenue. And then on May 3rd, someone claimed they encountered something even more shocking. Because they said, what happened to the Douyin censors? Did they all fall asleep tonight? I'm actually seeing content about Tiananmen's massacre online. So people see this image. There's actually, I think this is AI generated. There's a woman looking out the window and you see the row of tanks. And then you have this one, Xi Jinping steps down. And then you have these references. The picture on the left is that Chinese student who was interviewed by, I believe, BBC and saying that, I'm going to the Tiananmen Square to protest because it's my duty. And the one on the right is a digitally recreated image of the Chinese CCP leader, Zhao Ziyang, who opposed the crackdown and was put under house arrest for the rest of his life. So they didn't put his name, they didn't spell out his name straight out. They just say Purple Sun, which is his name, Ziyang, and then his last name. Now, whether these incidents reflected temporary moderation failures, isolated acts of dissident or something else entirely, we simply don't know. But what makes this phenomenon politically interesting is the broader atmosphere behind it. Because social frustration inside China appears to be becoming increasingly visible. Public protests, labor disputes, and online expressions of anger have all reportedly increased throughout 2026. And May, in particular, appears to have been an unusually intense month. Anti-CCP slogans and anti-government incidents circulating online have also risen noticeably. So this one was on May 21st in Xi'an, and someone wrote on the wall in a parking garage in Xi'an College, says, Impeach Xi Jinping. And another one came from a public bathroom in Jiangxi province just a week earlier, this one. The slogan on the left directly cursed Xi Jinping and his family. The one on the right said, the CCP is the source of the suffering of all Chinese. And another one said, if the CCP doesn't collapse, heaven itself will not tolerate it. And then came the videos. My team compiled clips of videos showing people cursing the regime and ridiculing Xi Jinping throughout China. So let me play you the clip. Oh, no. Okay. So the first one, I have to explain it to you a little bit. So it took place on May 3rd in downtown Shuzhou, Jiangsu. A young man appeared dressed as Zhang Jiao, the leader of the ancient Yellow Turban Rebellion. Standing in the street, he shouted a famous poem written by the rebel. And here we go. Let me remove this. Okay. So the poem, he reads something like this. The old world has fallen. A new world must rise. The time for great change has arrived. I am Zhang Jiao. Let the Han dynasty collapse. Thunder God, give me strength. Thunder God, give me strength. So for Chinese audience, the symbolism was extremely sensitive because Zhang Jiao led one of the most famous peasant uprisings in Chinese history, a rebellion that helped destabilize and eventually destroy the Eastern Han dynasty. Okay. All right. Let me keep playing the video. Okay. This one, I have to explain. It was a toy. Someone shooting at a puppet, a toy, a stuffed animal dressed in a yellow dragon robe with a pig's stuffed animal pig head on top. Okay. Did you guys get the... I mean, the person who shot at the pig's head, that video is de-platformed. I mean, that was a very, very clear message. And then you just see people are making their voices heard, right? They're not shying away. The last one, the woman, the last man was being very subtle because he said a turtle on a utility pole is odd. He didn't get there. And then he can't get down. Now it's waiting for a free fall. That turtle implies Xi Jinping. So now the significance of these incidents is not necessarily the scale of the dissent itself. China remains one of the world's most tightly controlled authoritarian system. But what matters is that more and more people are not afraid. They're being pushed to the brink of collapse and dare to publicly make their voices heard. And then something even stranger happened. Even the regime's own propaganda machine started behaving suspiciously. A series of bizarre incidents involving China's central TV network or CCTV suddenly exploded across the Chinese internet. And according to video, let me remove this. Can you guys see? Yeah? Yeah. Okay. People have uploaded videos showing that on the evening of May 16th, viewers watching CCTV 13 noticed something deeply unusual. The TV image was flipped upside down. And this was not just for a few seconds. The inverted footage reportedly lasted for minutes during multiple programs, including the main evening news broadcast around 6.04 p.m. And then another major program later that night around 8.35 p.m. At first, many viewers thought that their TV had malfunctioned. But when they switched to other channels, everything looked normal. Only CCTV was upside down. And what made the whole scene even more surreal was that inside the inverted footage, the CCP's bright red flags and propaganda slogans were also upside down. Missile launches appeared to fire directly into the ground. Warships looked like they were sinking into the sky. And then more incidents followed. The next morning, the 17th, during CCTV's morning news program, viewers once again reported long stretches of upside down footage. Then later that same night, CCTV 13 reportedly displayed inverted images again. Now, under ordinary circumstances, they may simply sound like a technical glitch. But this is where the story becomes politically fascinating. Because in China, symbolism matters enormously. And the phrase upside down, daole, carries extremely sensitive political implications. In Chinese political culture, the words themselves can imply the regime overturning, the system collapsing, the world turning upside down. And almost instantly, Chinese netizens flooded the comment sections with cryptic political jokes. Some wrote, maybe this is reminding people to look at things upside down. Others became far more direct. Is CCTV trying to rebel? And another person asked, is this a sign that something big is about to fall? Now, one reason that this incident attracted so much attention is because many Chinese commentators argued that repeated large scale technical failures at the central TV network are actually very, very unusual. Formal TV workers or people who used to work there explained that Chinese broadcasters normally maintain both primary and backup broadcasting systems precisely to prevent this kind of on-air disasters. And CCTV, of course, is not just any TV station. It's the most tightly controlled propaganda institution with enormous budgets, advanced equipment, and multiple layers of technical supervision and political review, which led many people to ask if this happened once, maybe it was an accident. But if it happened repeatedly across multiple politically sensitive broadcasts over two consecutive days, then was it really a technical problem? Or was there possibly a human factor involved? That is where the speculation became explosive. Some overseas commentators argued that within the political context of the CCP, upside down national flags and inverted military imagery could easily be interpreted as symbolic political protest, especially because some of the affected footage reportedly involved highly sensitive subjects, rocket launches, military propaganda, the precious Shandong aircraft carrier crossing the Taiwan Strait, and even slogans with Xi Jinping's signature. There was one comment that showed Xi Jinping's military slogan, which is, remember the instructions, achieve new accomplishments. But because the image itself was upside down, some online viewers immediately interpreted the scene as carrying the exact opposite political meaning, almost like a hidden anti-Xi message embedded inside state propaganda itself. But inside CCP's propaganda apparatus, this matters, because virtually every major broadcast image passes through multiple layers of review before reaching the public. That's precisely the reason why people find the incident unsettling. So was this merely a bizarre technical accident, or a silent act of internal protest, or a glimpse into deeper tensions within the CCP system? At this point, nobody really knows. But one thing is for sure, in a political system where symbolism is everything, a flipped TV image can trigger an extraordinary amount of fear, speculation, excitement, and political imagination. And the anticipation of dramatic political change is no longer limited to China itself, it's now global. Recently, something rather extraordinary has happened on one of the world's largest prediction market platforms, PolyMarket. People have begun openly betting on whether Xi Jinping will lose power before 2027. And we're not talking about small internet gossip here. The trading volume on this topic has reportedly approached tens of millions of dollars, with market confidence that Xi could exit before 2027, climbing close to 34%. Of course, it goes up and down. But at its highest point, it was 34%. Now even last year, betting markets asking whether Xi Jinping would lose power before 2025 reportedly generated around $78 million in trading volume, with odds briefly rising to roughly 14%. It's not as high as this year. Think about how extraordinary that is. The leader of the Chinese Communist Party, a regime that constantly emphasizes stability, unity, and centralized control, is now being treated by global prediction markets, almost like a speculative gaming or gambling asset. But it became even more surreal. Another major betting market appeared on PolyMarket, asking another question, that is, who will Xi Jinping purge in 2026? Now think about that psychologically. People are not just betting on whether Xi Jinping himself survives politically. They are simultaneously betting on which senior officials he may eliminate next. And the names listed were not surprising. I'll tell you who they are. This guy topped the list, China's Defense Minister Dong Jun. And then there are two more, Politburo Standing Committee member Wang Huning and Cai Qi. Now at one point, Dong Jun ranked at the very top of the betting board with the markets assigning roughly a 20% probability that he would be purged next. Wang Huning's odds reportedly reached around 12%, while Cai Qi's remained much lower at roughly 5%. And there's a reason why Dong Jun attracted so much attention. Let me go back to him. Just this week, yesterday, Xinhua News reported that Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir was visiting Beijing. But what immediately drew attention was that China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi, not Dong Jun, not his counterpart, met with General Munir. And later, during Xi Jinping's meeting with the Pakistani delegation, Dong Jun still never appeared. That absence immediately raised eyebrows. Now, Dong Jun was nowhere to be seen. And there is an important comparison here. Roughly 10 months ago, when General Munir previously visited China, the person receiving him was not Wang Yi, was not the Foreign Minister, but was Zhang Youxia. That was before he was arrested. Likewise, a few weeks ago, when Xi Jinping met with President Trump and his delegation, Dong Jun was there because his counterpart, US War Secretary Pete Hexeth, was part of the delegation. But this time, Dong Jun mysteriously disappeared from the scene. And there was another unusual detail. He is also expected to miss the Shangri-La Security Forum that's upcoming, I think, at the end of the month in Singapore. He's going to miss that for a second consecutive time. Now before him, virtually every Chinese defense minister attended the conference regularly. So taken together, these signals naturally intensified speculation that Minister Dong Jun may now be politically vulnerable. And honestly, the important part here is not the gambling itself. The important part is what this review is about. It shows how the outside world increasingly views Xi Jinping's political system. The CCP politics operates very differently from the rest of the world. Outside observers often have no idea who truly holds power, who has fallen out of favor, who's under investigation, and which faction is currently under attack. And over the past several years, one pattern has become increasingly common, that is, senior officials suddenly disappear. One day they publicly stood beside Xi Jinping, the next day they vanished from public view without explanation. And once that pattern repeats enough times, something psychologically important happens. People stop viewing the system as stable governance. And they begin viewing it as a palace survival game. And honestly, I think this is exactly what these betting markets now reflect. Global outside observers increasingly see top level CCP politics as a probability-driven elite survival game. And once even senior insiders no appear publicly secure, the entire system begins to look fragile. And that is why these prediction markets matter. And perhaps the most disturbing part of this entire story is what it reviews about the atmosphere inside Zhongnanhai itself. Xi Jinping's relationship with his own officials appears increasingly tense and paranoid. Recently, an audio recording involving a retired senior military leader began circulating across Chinese social media. The recording painted what many described as a suffocating reality of today's political environment inside the system. So according to the recording, the way Xi Jinping now manages officials no longer resembles normal party comradeship, or even the traditional relationship between emperors and his ministers in imperial China. Instead, the atmosphere has become almost abusive. So the recording claims that before being allowed anywhere near Xi Jinping, officials must undergo two separate rounds of medical exams, because Xi is allegedly deeply paranoid about infection and personal security. And then things become even stranger. According to the recording, on the night before meeting Xi, officials are gathered together and confined overnight inside a secured compound. Then around 4 in the morning, they are awakened and forced through multiple layers of security screening, almost like prisoners being processed through checkpoints, before they can meet Xi Jinping at 9 o'clock. And during that time, they are reportedly forbidden from eating or even using the bathroom. So at one point in the recording, a woman reacts in disbelief, and she asks, how is it possible not to use the bathroom for that long? And the man replies, just don't eat. So that exchange may reveal something much larger about today's CCP's political culture. Officials are expected to suppress their most basic physical needs and personal dignity in order to demonstrate obedience to the supreme leader. I mean, it shows that Xi Jinping's distrust of his officials has increased. I mean, it has evolved beyond politics and into something almost physical, because it shows that in his eyes, his subordinates increasingly resemble potential virus carriers, possible security threats, and even latent assassins. And this kind of prison-style management often reveals how dysfunctional the system has become, or may have become. All right, and then there's another topic that has suddenly exploded across overseas Chinese political circles. There are the rumors surrounding Xi Jinping's daughter, Xi Mingzhe. Now, I have made a program. This is allegedly a picture of Xi Mingzhe, but I don't think so, because nobody has actually seen her picture. There are at least half a dozen pictures out there alleged to be Xi Jinping's daughter, but they look very different. So nobody knows what she looks like. I actually made a video about that in my Looking Glass channel. I asked Chris to copy the link here. Nicole, if you could copy the link to that video here, that will help people. So there's a whole story about protecting her identity. Okay, so let's assume that's her, because I need to put a picture. Now, there are many different versions of these rumors, but most of them revolve around the same idea, that Xi Mingzhe has already been playing an important behind-the-scenes role inside the regime, and may even help manage Xi Jinping's office operations. Some rumors go even further, claiming that Xi may possess the authority to issue instructions on Xi Jinping's behalf. Now, there are even more sensational versions, alleging that Xi Jinping has several children born out of wedlock, who have quietly been placed into different government positions for future grooming. And according to some versions of the story, Xi's wife supposedly opposes that arrangement, and insists that if political succession is to remain within the family, then their daughter Xi Mingzhe should become the legitimate heir. Now, I want to be clear. These are rumors. None of these claims have been verified. I highly doubt it. I don't believe, I mean, I'm sure these are the things that Xi Jinping and his wife are contemplating. But I seriously doubt that Xi Mingzhe is actually the one running the operation from behind the scenes, because politically that makes no sense. But what makes these rumors interesting is not whether they are true or not. It's the fact that more and more people are even willing to discuss the possibility of dynastic succession inside the CCP. According to these theories, Xi Jinping's long-term goal would allegedly resemble something closer to North Korea's model, gradually preparing his daughter, or one of his children, to eventually enter politics and eventually take over. And then they even say that the key question for some observers is no longer how long can continue ruling. Instead, more interesting question becomes, when, if ever, will Xi Mingzhe officially emerge politically? Step by step, Xi Jinping has already centralized power to a degree that's unseen in decades. But because of that, people increasingly speculate that he may not rule for life because of his health and because of the opposition. But he definitely wants to start a family dynasty, a Xi family dynasty. That's very deep in his thinking. I'm skeptical that his daughter can succeed him, because structurally, such a plan would face enormous obstacles inside the CCP system itself. And Xi Mingzhe herself lacks many of the traditional credentials valued inside the system. She has never served publicly. Her image is heavily censored. No Chinese can recognize her. And politics, especially authoritarian politics, depends heavily on symbolic familiarity and public recognition. You need to have face recognition. So how does someone suddenly govern a country of this size, when the population has not even seen her face? She has never risen through grassroot party administration. She lacks military credentials. So I just think if Xi Jinping were ever to aggressively push his daughter toward succession, resistance from party elders or the second generation elites, technocrats, military leaders, almost everyone could become extremely difficult to control. And ironically, the moment serious elite backlash begins, it may also become the most politically dangerous moment for the first daughter herself. So maybe the broader point here is this. It has become increasingly obvious that Xi Jinping wants to rule indefinitely. Yet at the same time, more and more people, both inside and outside China, appear unconvinced that the system around him is truly stable long term. Some point to rumors about Xi Jinping's health. Others point to the growing social pressure caused by increasingly harsh authoritarian rule, as we've seen in the beginning of this talk, as those video clips demonstrate. So many people believe the system built entirely around centralized personal power often becomes fragile in ways that are difficult to see from the outside. Because authoritarian systems can suppress visible opposition and cracks for very long periods of time. And perhaps that is why so many people inside China have become unusually sensitive to rumors, symbols, political disappearances, upside down propaganda broadcasts, and strange signals coming from inside the system. Maybe all of these incidents that I presented to you tonight are isolated. Maybe they're all coincidences. Even some of them could be exaggerated. But taken together, they create a political atmosphere that feels increasingly tense, increasingly suspicious, and increasingly unstable. And that may ultimately be the deeper story behind all this. So as more and more people inside and outside China no longer believe the system is as solid as it appears, then once that confidence in the political system becomes quietly eroding, then the smallest symbol or the smallest crack can start triggering something enormous. Right. So that's what I have for you today. I'm very happy that we did this talk because my team, both Nicole and Chris, we spent a lot of time gathering those images and video clips showing the daring Chinese speaking up for themselves inside China. So that's all. All right. Let's see. What do people say? All right. Let's see. Let me first acknowledge the people I want to... Let's see. Oh, Nicole is here tonight. Young Macintosh saying happy Tuesday, happy Tuesday to you. All right. I saw something flying by. Oh, here's one. 89 Major General Mao Xinyu 64. I watched 8964 unfold on 60 o'clock news, 60 minutes. But CCP says it didn't happen, fools. Yeah, the CCP has been denying it. I mean, the Chinese history textbooks under email in China is not truthful, is not historically accurate. The CCP has altered history books to fit its narratives, not just modern Chinese history, but ancient history as well. All right. Teo Rico, it would be great if you could help grow your influence if you collaborated with channels like Professor Gerdes Explains, who struggles understanding anything with China. It would be good. Yeah. Well, let him know. I'll be happy. I'll be happy to collaborate. I was on Mario. What's his name? I forgot his last. Yeah, but it was a brief 40 minute talk. We didn't go into details, but it was a 40 minute conversation. Hold on, let me see questions. All right. I'm just picking some random questions. Wow. A lot of comments. No questions. Excellent. Oh, here's a one. Tell us, has Xi Jinping suffered his 25th stroke? I don't know. But there are people claiming that he had a third stroke. I don't know. I mean, that's what I didn't tell you because it doesn't look that way because he's been appearing in public. I mean, right. I mean, after receiving Trump, there was Putin and now the Pakistani delegation. They're in Beijing. He's there. Unless the person receiving these dignitaries were not himself, was not himself, it was a body double. I don't know. I tend to think that the rumors about his stroke is a little weak because usually when people, usually when various sources, over people who are not connected, start saying the same thing, then you need to pay attention. But if it's just an isolated drop here and there, then I don't know if it's reliable. So someone asked me, how long has the streaming been going? We started at 945. So it's been going on for what, 45 minutes now? Kings7449, Lei, I have been watching you since day one. When will China fall? You fraud. I have a poly market bet. It will fall next week. I don't think it will fall next week, but I think within three years, I think the fact that the regime will fall within the next three years is, I would say over 85%. That's my bet. Okay. Well, thank you for the question. Well, thank you for being with me for all this, all this time. Thank you. Let's see. Lei's real talk question from Goat. What has Wang Huning been saying in recent weeks? He's been low-key. I have not seen much. After that bowing to Xi Jinping at the two sessions, he has been laying low, not a whole lot. You haven't heard about him a lot. I think his daughter was ordered to move from Shanghai to Beijing. I think it's not a good sign. It's a bad sign. Maybe Xi Jinping doesn't trust him anymore, therefore wants to make sure that he can control their families. Wang Huning's daughter has been ordered to move her entire family to live in Beijing, so the big boss can monitor all of them. Nicole forwarded a question. Is the CCP a monarchy or communist dictatorship? It's not a monarchy. If a monarchy, there is hereditary succession. No, it's not. If a communist dictatorship, there should be political plan for succession. It is a communist dictatorship, but Xi Jinping wants to... Everything is telling us that Xi Jinping wants to turn it into a hereditary communist dictatorship. That's very much like North Korea. Otherwise, he would have appointed a successor by now because he's not young, he's not in good health. Why hasn't he named a successor? The only explanation is he wants to pass it on to one of his children and they're not ready yet. All right. Here's this from Nelly Gentry. Love your broadcast. Learned so much. Prayers for you and your crew. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. My team works very hard. Without them, I wouldn't be able to do this. Larry Jackson. Hi, Lei. Did you think the CCP would ever release any UFO, UAP information or nothing will be released until CCP goes away? I don't think they will release anything unless releasing it will save the regime. Anything the CCP will do or will not do depends on the need. It's political need. If it helps the regime to stay in power, it would do anything. But if not, then they won't. When it falls, how do we protect ourselves from the fallout? I'm worried certain people are hoping when CCP falls, other economies will too. It depends on what kind of fall. If it's a dramatic fall, well, actually, you know what? I think after the CCP falls, things could only be better. After the regime is because nothing can be worse than what we have now. The worst is Xi Jinping starts a war and drags the whole world down with him. And then the economies break. And then everyone has to pay a share for the consequences. But if the CCP falls, I think China will become better. No matter what forms of government they adopt or they will adopt, it will be better than this one. It will solve half of the world's problems. It will not solve all of the problems, but half of the problems that the United States government is confronting with. So I think it will be good. And I think that the Trump administration should just... I think there's too much fear about dealing with the consequences. And that's why I think Trump is trying to bind some time. But my perception is that it's the opposite. The longer you prolong, the bigger price you have to pay. The more people will suffer. Just take a look at Iran. Iran is the perfect example. Iran is the mini version of the CCP. You cannot negotiate with a regime like that. It's just like, again, I want to use my analogy. When a rogue or a hooligan, a gentleman, you cannot negotiate with a rogue regime because it's a waste of time. Anyways, but that's just my view, and I could be wrong. The world is already filled with opinions, so they don't need another opinion from Lei. It's okay that I say nothing about Iran. All right, Susan Jenkins, Lei, can you see how this phenomenon might fit into Trump's global plan, Pakistani debt? What phenomenon? I'm sorry, I'm just not quite sure what phenomenon you're referring to. Please elaborate your question. Okay, Lana Lombardo, did you hear Wang Kuning has said that he has never spoken a word of English in his life? That's not true. He studied English. He was a visiting scholar in the US for six months, so how could he have never spoken a word of English when he lived here? That's not true. Where did he say that? Someone asked me, has Hu Chunhua been mentioned in CCP media recently? If so, what? No, I have not seen much. I have not seen much. It's the quiet. Although there are, I think both sides are taking down. The personnel changes are dramatic. Both sides are taking down each other's officials in the name of anti-corruption, and it seems that Xi Jinping is losing more people than he would like to. Yeah, a lot of the Xi For example, the most famous is the president of the University of Beijing, which holds the rank of a minister. The president of Beijing University, probably one of the top two universities in China, officially has the rank of a minister. He just got replaced, but he's replaced with someone older than him. The difference is the current one is allegedly a Xi Jinping affiliate, and the new one, the new president is not a Xi Jinping affiliate, and possibly a Hu Jintao affiliate. So these are shocking personnel changes, and there are many, many out there. It's happening every week. I just don't think you're interested in these personnel changes. Bother talking about them. All right. Someone said, warn people wanting to buy goji berries at the store or not. Almost all of them come from China. They put dangerous chemicals in them. Yeah, there's certain things that come. Goji berry all came from China. I was looking for goji berries grown somewhere else. I couldn't find anything. You're right. I stopped eating goji berries because I don't trust, especially the very pretty ones. You wonder where the color came from. Millet. Millet. How do you say? Xiaomi. Millet? How do you say Xiaomi? Millet? Millet? French? That green also came from China. All right. Here's a question from Kiko Pranted. Deng, Taiwan policy, one country, two systems, and a Mao CCP poor. Deng, WTO, Princeton. Oh my goodness. Population. Yeah, the one country, two system proposed by Deng Xiaoping failed in Hong Kong because Hong Kong is just like mainland China now. Hong Kong served as the perfect example to show how that system does not work. It didn't work for Hong Kong. It doesn't work for Hong Kong. It will not work for Taiwan. Taiwanese people have realized that. Someone said, have you heard anything about the Hong Kong November fire victims? I think the government threw an event to commemorate the fire, but there was a student, there was a college student who called to create a committee to investigate the fire. The young man was kicked out of college because he called for an open investigation into the fire. Hong Kong is becoming like mainland China. Okay. Someone says, thankfully you can grow goji berries in the U.S. There's actually a U.S. variety. Oh, really? I'd like to find out. I would like to buy U.S. because I buy goji berries for my family. My mother loves goji berries, but I spent a lot of money buying the very expensive ones, but I still think they come from China. I would love to find out the goji berries that are grown in the U.S. It's a super food. It's very good for your health. Someone asked, is she beginning to feel pressure about the weakness of Li? Between heaven and earth, the people will not suffer it too much more. See, in ancient times, emperors are called the son of heaven, right? And when famines or when natural disasters took place in the country, then the emperors have to beg heaven for forgiveness. The emperor has to conduct self-reflection sessions. To reflect what he has done wrong to cause such disasters to his people. And this is a tradition for all Chinese emperors because he is the son of heaven. Has the CCP leaders, any of CCP leaders done any of that? I mean, they caused so much suffering to the Chinese people. They're man-made disasters. They're not natural disasters. They are the ones responsible for the disasters, but they just cover up. So yeah, I don't know. You cannot compare the CCP leaders to ancient Chinese emperors. I do not believe they're in the same league. Someone asked me, is Ding Xuexiang doing or saying anything significant or also quiet? I suspect what he would do. Well, Ding Xuexiang is very weak. Ding Xuexiang has no political base. If Wang Huning is being quiet, Wang Huning also does not have a strong political base because he's a scholar, but at least he served three CCP leaders. He's been there long enough. He's done enough. He's seen enough, right? But Ding Xuexiang, he is Xi Jinping's secretary, basically. Xi Jinping, of course, wants him or someone like him to be his successor, to be the puppet. But the question is, will the rest of the CCP red families accept him? I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so. So they're all very quiet at this point because these people are also secretly calculating because it's dangerous for them to place all of their political bet in one basket. What if Xi Jinping steps down next year? So they have to balance everything. That's why these people remain quiet. The only exception is Cai Qi. Others are being kind of smart because you have to watch how the wind blows, which direction it's going because anything could happen in a CCP ugly fight. Someone says, if you don't find the wolfberry info between now and next stream, I will post the info for you in the next stream. Okay. Well, thank you. Thank you very much. I'm sure my mother will appreciate it. Kim Lim. Well, thank you, Kim. Thank you very much. I reached the bottom and it's been an hour. How about we end it here? And I'll be back in two days. Okay. All right. Stay well. Bye.
