Since Xi Jinping took power the practice of leaders showing up at disaster sites has been abandoned
analysts note intense internal party infighting leaves see overwhelmed and

woman breaches Beijing air defense crashes plane into tallest skyscraper Xi Jinping panics fearing assassination on
June 26th a small aircraft struck the China's young building also known as the CITIC tower in eastern Beijing
The 108 story skyscraper is the tallest in the city and serves as headquarters for the state-owned
SITIC group videos circulating online showed the aircraft hitting the upper floors on the eastern side
breaking apart in midair with wreckage falling below
eyewitnesses heard explosions and saw flames
Some shouted that a plane had fallen
Fire and rescue vehicles quickly arrived a section of the glass curtain wall on the upper floors was damaged and
Debris triggered a localized fire at the east entrance
Beijing police cordoned off surrounding roads and evacuated people from the building

Ambulances were on site online claims identified the aircraft as a b-12 pp light plane from Dongxi Shuangyue General Aviation
The pilot Liu Junhua was reportedly on a solo flight that took off from Shufo Airport at 530 p.m
10 minutes later while trying to return for landing it deviated from the traffic pattern headed west at 270 degrees and

Beijing resident surnamed Liu told the Epoch Times that helicopters believed to be armed police circled a nearby residential area for over 20 minutes
He noted the location is inside Beijing's inner ring with strict airspace controls
Civilian drones are banned
Liu questioned how the aircraft penetrated tier 3 restrictions and whether air defense radar failed to detect it
He compared the breach to 9-11 and said civilians reported the crash before authorities fully responded
the tower sits in the central business district on East Chang'an Avenue near CCTV headquarters Guomao and
Only a few kilometers from Zhongnanhai posts about the incident were quickly removed from Chinese social media
Beijing has enforced tight airspace rules since May requiring approvals for any recreational flights
Outdoor drone operations sales rentals and even carrying components are prohibited
The citic tower has long raised security concerns from its top floors under clear conditions
It is possible to see into Zhongnanhai the headquarters of the CCP and State Council in
2018 authorities reportedly criticized planning officials after realizing the design allowed observation of sensitive areas
The top three floors were reportedly placed under Ministry of State security control and
Observation decks restricted binoculars a Russian man was detained that year for parachuting from the building
Independent commentator Kai Shunkun said a heavily secured city like Beijing may no longer feel completely safe and the incident would alarm top leadership
China affairs expert yangbo called it a major security warning
Even if it was pilot error
it raises serious concerns if intentional it shows some harbor strong intentions against sensitive sites as
Drone technology advances worries in Zhongnanhai, especially around Xi Jinping security will only grow the crash highlights tensions in China's push

China the military controls all airspace a
Concession bid in Shandong for low-altitude operations was suspended shortly after
C said authorities see risks if civil aviation were fully opened a small aircraft carrying a few grenades could drop them on Zhongnanhai
They would not dare to open up this sector because public resentment in China is extremely strong
Planes could cross boundaries drop leaflets explosives or paint on Tiananmen
Political factors distort the industry while the government wants economic gains it prioritizes absolute control
Yangbo suggested the incident could slow the drone sector as Xi Jinping views political security as outweighing economic development
the breach of Beijing's defended airspace right next to core power centers exposes the limits of the CCP's control and
fuels deeper fears at the top
No one on streets malls or factories rising unnatural deaths why China's 1.4 billion population claim is a lie
Look, there's not a single person on the street
Where did everyone go in?
Shangqiu Hanna a
Blogger said that people seem to have disappeared at lunchtime in Wanda Plaza restaurants sat empty
Streets in Shanghai and Shenzhen have grown quiet in
Huainan on way with a claimed permanent population of 1.5 million restaurants had no customers
Vegetable markets saw no buyers and delivery drivers reported extremely low orders
This is not limited to one place from north to south Shanghai to Chengdu cities feel empty
Shopping malls have few visitors standing in a quarter for over 10 minutes may yield no passerby
Factories have fewer workers even rural areas show little activity except during major holidays
The question keeps coming up if streets malls factories and villages are empty
Where are the 1.4 billion people since early 2023 after kovat lockdowns ended Chinese social media has repeatedly raised this
Commentator Zhang Ping pointed to shifts like online shopping delivery services and community group buying keeping people home
Factories rely more on older workers from the 1960s and 1970s as younger people avoid such jobs plus automation replacing labor
Rural hollowing stems from better education and health care in cities plus income gaps driving young people away
Only the elderly and children remain with villages lively only on holidays, but these explanations avoid the deeper issue
Official data says China's 2025 population was 1 billion four hundred million five hundred forty thousand yet
2025 saw seven point nine two million births and eleven point three one million deaths a
net drop of three point three nine million the fourth straight year of decline

Liang Zhang Tang a former official who opposed the one-child policy noted that
Population statistics have long been adjusted to fit expected growth of over 10 million per year
When actual fertility dropped lower numbers were blamed on underreporting the gap between official figures and reality widened

Xi Jinping's all-army senior cadres training program turns into public humiliation and loyalty test
The Chinese Communist Party recently finished a 10-week senior military cadres training program
Analysts say Xi Jinping used this setup echoing past rectification campaigns to detain and force senior military generals into intense
study sessions
The goal was public humiliation and loyalty test to make them break ties with the Zhang Youxia and pledge allegiance
directly to Xi on June 24th
2026 the CCP's military newspaper ran a side note about the first session of the all-army senior cadres training program
It ran from April 8th to June 16th at the National Defense University
The schedule included studying Xi Jinping thought watching warning education films resinging the old revolutionary song
three main rules of discipline and eight points for attention
reviewing party discipline and military rules renewing the party membership oath and
Using morning exercise time for basic formation drills u.s. Based commentator Li Muyang said the details show this was no normal training
It was a prolonged harsh centralized rectification campaign launched and driven by Xi Jinping himself against several hundred
senior generals the program lasted 70 days
Lieutenant generals and major generals were confined to the National Defense University campus in Beijing's western suburbs
They had no contact with the outside world. No social activities and no private time
They were forced to study CCP military laws regulations and discipline the format mixed expert guidance group study and individual self-study
Participants had to take notes write reflections and join discussions
They focused heavily on Xi Jinping's speech at the opening ceremony. This approach has a long history in the CCP
during Mao Zedong's
1942 to 1943
Yan'an rectification and rescue campaign cadres were concentrated for so-called study that was really political screening for loyalty
The Cultural Revolution used similar study classes to terrorize people the 1980s military party rectification followed the same pattern
Xi has now revived the old tactic the training required each general to clearly state which red lines
They could not cross which bottom lines. They must not violate and which minefields to avoid
They had to re-sing three main rules of discipline and eight points for attention a song
Whose main message is that all actions must follow commands?
Li Muyang noted that Xi used this outdated song to remind generals
They must obey the chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi himself
Forcing them to watch anti-corruption films and study punishments served as a direct warning. You know your own problems
Confess now before it's too late
During morning exercises hundreds of lieutenant generals and major generals drilled basic moves like standing at attention at ease and marching in step
Li Muyang called this public humiliation and a clear loyalty test
The military newspaper claimed the training aimed to improve capabilities in
Reality two months of lockdown management was extremely tough not much different from the mass internment camps in Xinjiang
It amounted to imprisoning hundreds of senior generals for forced loyalty education and political screening where everyone had to pass
Xi personally launching and pushing this program points to a deeper crisis
The fall of Central Military Commission vice-chairman Zhang Yuxia and Joint Staff Department chief Liu Zhenli was not just about corruption
It was part of Xi's military power defense war after he lost control over parts of the military
After Zhang and Liu were taken down Xi faced a major problem who in the military can he actually trust?
Zhang was Xi's childhood friend yet. Even he proved disloyal
Xi worries deeply about loyalty
Many current high-ranking generals were promoted by Zhang over decades
Purging too deeply risks chaos, but leaving them in place
leaves hidden dangers and possible backlash from Zhang's old network caught in this bind Xi chose a middle path gather the generals for full enclosed
management and study using humiliation to force them to cut ties with Zhang Yuxia and
Redirect loyalty to himself Li Muyang observed that while Xi has planned carefully the final outcome remains to be seen
When a ruler goes too far against heaven and reaches the end of his rope
Consequences eventually arrive this latest campaign reveals the intense insecurity and power struggles at the top of the CCP regime CP
France shuts down
9CCP secret police stations expels operatives after foiled kidnapping according to France's Le Mans newspaper after a year-long counterintelligence
investigation French authorities shut down nine secret police stations run by Beijing earlier this year and
expelled three Chinese nationals in charge
Their job was to monitor overseas Chinese and pursue regime opponents for forced return to China
Two of the three main operatives have been expelled
The case of the third 57 year old Ni Chao Wen is still moving through the courts
Ni headed the France Fujian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and ran a low-cost clothing brand
French officials say he actually operated a secret Fuzhou overseas personnel service station
photos showed bilingual signs for the Fuzhou overseas police service station at his chamber and
His WeChat contained direct instructions from China's Ministry of Public Security
This ranks among France's strongest actions yet against the CCP's overseas police network
Authorities now treat it as a national security and foreign interference issue not routine overseas Chinese affairs
Independent scholar Lai Jianping called it a clear signal
The political signal released here is that France has also awakened and is now resisting the CCP's
infringement of its sovereignty persecution of Chinese citizens and
violations of international human rights law on French soil lie said
The CCP's so-called secret police stations overseas have become so rampant that they are unsettling the world
The crackdown followed a brazen March 2024 kidnapping attempt at Charles de Gaulle Airport
Members of the Chinese Ministry of State Security tried to force dissident Ling Huazhan onto a plane to China
French police stopped it at the last moment triggering the wider probe
Adjunct associate professor Liu Wenbin noted the network is global
The CCP has long established police stations or outposts in approximately 50 countries
Their main activities involve threatening local Chinese not to criticize the CCP
Over time these have morphed into long-arm jurisdiction and intelligence agencies seriously undermining host country sovereignty
China's
2017 national intelligence law requires citizens and organizations to assist intelligence work effectively turning many into potential spies
Lie warned this damages the reputation of ordinary overseas Chinese who face suspicion because of the regime's actions
The European Parliament passed a resolution in
2023 urging member states to investigate and counter these stations lie added that unchecked infiltration will only grow bolder
Liu expects more countries to follow France's lead if these are cleared out Chinese communities will become bolder in criticizing the CCP's
perverse actions
This will cause the CCP's
external influence to decline rapidly a
2022 Safeguard Defenders report identified
102 such CCP stations across about 53 countries
France's decisive response sends a firm message. The CCP's extra-territorial control operations will no longer operate freely on European soil
What began as monitoring dissidents has expanded into open challenges to national sovereignty other nations facing similar hidden?
