CCP's 105th Anniversary: Xi Encircled by Men in Black, Air China Revolt!

At the concert, The People Come First, held at Beijing's Great Hall of the People, on the evening of June 29th, around 3,000 officials were in attendance. Yet when the cameras captured the moment Xi Jinping entered the venue, he was surrounded by layer upon layer of men dressed in black, forming what looked like an iron wall, enclosing him at the center. Meanwhile, the entire front row was occupied by primary school students. Even more striking was the reappearance of Kai Qi, who had been absent from public view for 12 days. He returned before the cameras wearing what could only be described as a grim, downcast expression. This was supposed to be a celebration marking the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, a moment when party members would be expected to celebrate together. So why was the venue guarded with security measures more reminiscent of a military base than a commemorative event? Let's take a closer look. 105th anniversary of the Party's founding. Kai Qi's unusual reappearance as party elders vanished from view. This year's celebration marking the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party featured a highly unusual scene. Former top leaders, including Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao, Li Ruihuan, Zhu Rongji, Wu Guanzheng, Zeng Qinghong, Yu Zhengsheng, Zhang Dejiang, Wang Yang, Wang Qishan, and other retired members of the Politburo Standing Committee were all absent. Not a single one of them appeared. So what really happened? Did the party elders collectively decide to snub Xi Jinping, or was Xi himself unwilling to have them attend? The heavy presence of black-clad security personnel throughout the concert venue seemed to answer that question on its own. Behind the image of absolute power lay what appeared to be Xi Jinping's profound sense of insecurity and fear. Even after all 3,000 attending officials had undergone rigorous political vetting and multiple layers of security screening, the authorities still deployed large numbers of agents from the Central Guard Bureau. The perceived threat, it seemed, was no longer the so-called hostile external forces, but rather the very comrades seated inside the auditorium. Meanwhile, before this public appearance, Cai Qi had been absent from view for 12 consecutive days. During that period, he missed four internal party meetings as well as several major diplomatic engagements. For the party's second-ranking figure, responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of Zhongnanhai and the security of China's top leader, such a prolonged disappearance was highly unusual. His absence fueled widespread speculation that influential factions associated with the so-called princelings, the descendants of senior Communist Party leaders and military princelings, had joined forces to pressure Xi Jinping's leadership, leaving Cai Qi sidelined or even under internal investigation. Yet when Cai Qi finally reappeared at the recent concert, his demeanor was anything but upbeat. His expression looked tense, restrained, and deeply uncomfortable, as if he were walking on thin ice. It was the kind of face that could only be described as strained and visibly burdened. Could this have been connected to the June 26th incident in which a small aircraft crashed into the China Zoom building? Anti-Xi Jinping flyers reportedly appear at an Air China facility. Following the incident in which an aircraft struck Beijing's tallest building, the Sitik Tower, reports emerged claiming that flyers criticizing Xi Jinping had been found outside an Air China facility in Beijing. According to the reports, the leaflet listed what it described as Xi Jinping's ten crimes against the nation and the people, and called on the public to oppose the Chinese Communist Party, CCP, authoritarian rule, and one-party dictatorship. A photo accompanying the post showed several of the alleged ten crimes, including undermining constitutional governance, concentrating power, and imposing dictatorship, suppressing dissent, and persecuting human rights lawyers, censoring free speech and blocking the Internet, engaging in corruption and abuse of power, undermining education and indoctrinating the younger generation, ignoring people's livelihoods, and showing indifference in the face of natural disasters. The same account also shared another post claiming that an individual described as an Air China captain working for the airline that operates Xi Jinping's official aircraft had circulated a message reading, Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party don't go too far. Three feet above your heads are airplanes. One day, those words will come true. A photo attached to the post appeared to show a leaflet affixed to an aircraft's control yoke bearing the slogan, A Democratic China, Return Power to the People. Since the beginning of 2026, reports and online commentary have suggested that opposition to the Chinese Communist Party and to Xi Jinping has become more visible among some segments of the Chinese public. In March, a young Chinese man reportedly uploaded a video of more than seven minutes on Douyin in which he sharply criticized both the CCP and Xi Jinping. On April 17, social media posts also claimed that someone had submitted a petition to the Shenzhen municipal government calling for Xi Jinping to resign and for the Chinese Communist Party to relinquish power. How much longer Xi Jinping and the CCP can remain in power remains an open question. Is Xi Jinping about to face trouble? The recent incident in which an aircraft struck Beijing's China Zun Tower reportedly sent shockwaves through Zhongmenhai, leaving China's leadership deeply unsettled. According to this line of commentary, Xi Jinping's concerns are not without reason. It is well known that construction projects in Beijing are subject to exceptionally strict oversight. In particular, super-tall buildings must receive approval from the top leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, CCP. For example, the China World Trade Center Tower 3, which once held the title of Beijing's tallest building at just over 300 meters, was reportedly approved by Jiang Zemin's office before construction began. Three years later, the 108-story China Zun, Sitik Tower, was completed, taking over as the city's tallest building. The design of Sitik Tower was approved during Hu Jintao's tenure. Why, then, must Beijing's tallest buildings receive the approval of the CCP's highest-ranking leader? One commonly circulated explanation is that Beijing's urban planning places great importance on feng shui. Constructing major buildings without official approval could, according to this belief, disrupt the feng shui believed to underpin the CCP's rule. Those who do not subscribe to feng shui may simply regard this as a traditional belief or folklore. On June 28, financial commentator Yin Hedian wrote on Facebook that Beijing has long been regarded as the convergence point of the dragon vein, Longmei, of northern China. According to him, the nation's dragon vein originates in the Kunlun Mountains, passes through the Yanshan and Western Hills, and ultimately converges north of the North China Plain. His article states that Beijing's principal dragon vein traditionally follows the city's north-south-central axis, stretching approximately 7.8 kilometers from Yongding Gate in the south to the Bell Tower in the north. Often described as the backbone of the imperial city, or the city's dragon vein, this axis runs through the Forbidden City, Tian'anmen Square, and numerous other landmark sites. In traditional feng shui, it is regarded as the focal point where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges, and as the source of the prosperity associated with the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. It is considered the core of Beijing's feng shui layout. The article further argues that Sidiq Tower, located in Beijing's central business district in Chaoyang District, occupies the Zhen position in the Bagua, representing the northeast. The Zhen trigram symbolizes mountains, stability, and upward growth. According to this interpretation, China Zun's location enables it to absorb auspicious energy from the east, making it favorable for the development of modern commerce and finance. The tower itself was designed in the shape of a zun, an ancient ceremonial wine vessel, which in feng shui is believed to symbolize the gathering, anchoring, and protection of positive energy. Yin also noted that China Zun stands 528 meters tall, has a footprint of 11,478 square meters, rises 108 stories above ground with 8 basement levels, rests on foundations extending 38 meters underground, is engineered to withstand an intensity 8 earthquake, and contains 8 refuge floors. He argues that these figures intentionally correspond to concepts associated with the Bagua and the 8 cardinal directions, thereby enhancing the building's ability to concentrate auspicious energy. From this feng shui perspective, he contends, an aircraft striking China Zun is far from a trivial event. The article concludes that, because an aircraft is a rapidly moving mass of metal, such a collision can be interpreted in feng shui as a form of flying sha, a sudden intrusion of destructive energy, or a sharp hostile force piercing the dragon vein and disrupting the existing feng shui configuration. Shortly afterward, a fire reportedly broke out nearby. In feng shui, this is often viewed as a sign of excessive fire energy or the activation of harmful fire-related influences, According to Yin Hetian, phenomena of this kind could affect wealth, health, family harmony, and may even foreshadow more serious misfortunes. His article also argues that, after a building has been destroyed by fire, its feng shui is believed to deteriorate. If the fire results in deaths or casualties, the site may be regarded as an inauspicious dwelling, Applying this interpretation to Xi Jinping's administration, the article suggests that China's economy could continue to weaken, new initiatives would struggle to gain momentum, and existing achievements would continue to erode, with little prospect of reversing the trend. These feng shui interpretations offered by Yin Hetian should, of course, be viewed as one perspective rather than established fact. However, one intriguing detail is that, before Liu Junhua allegedly flew an aircraft into China's Zun, a viewer sent an email to commentator Li Muyang on June 24, referring to a prediction made by a practitioner of Chinese metaphysics who claimed that the CCP would collapse in 2029. According to the email, the viewer believed the prediction closely matched Li Muyang's previous discussions of the so-called as well as predictions attributed to a Taiwanese woman known as Xiao Mo. The viewer suggested that the convergence of these predictions might reflect what is often described as the will of heaven. The email stated that the fortune teller had analyzed Xi Jinping's Bazi, the traditional Chinese four pillars of destiny, as well as those of numerous senior CCP officials, and had also studied the feng shui of Zhang Nanhai. He reportedly concluded that major upheavals would occur in 2026 and 2027 and that those living in Zhang Nanhai would suffer the downfall of the so-called second generation. He described Xi Jinping as a true member of the Red Second Generation, referring to the children of senior revolutionary leaders. The same practitioner also claimed to have studied the feng shui of Xi Zhongshun's tomb. Based on that analysis, he concluded that Xi Jinping would encounter a major personal crisis around 2030 or 2031. He then examined the feng shui of the Xiongnu area and likewise concluded that the Chinese Communist Party would not remain in power much longer. Finally, the practitioner offered a remarkably specific timeline. He predicted that in the summer of 2027, Xi Jinping would deliberately initiate a war in the Taiwan Strait, resulting in devastating casualties on both sides. By 2028, he claimed, the CCP would fail to prevail in the conflict. And during that same year, the Chinese people would begin to rise in resistance. According to this prediction, the situation would continue into 2029, when Xi Jinping's grip on power would begin to weaken. That year, the Chinese Communist Party government would collapse and be replaced by a new administration. Beginning in 2030, the new government would hold Xi Jinping and other senior CCP leaders accountable. By 2031, it would also move against the CCP's grassroots bureaucracy, its overseas organizations, and related institutions. Between 2032 and 2033, the new political system would become fully operational. During that period, remnants of the Communist Party would reportedly attempt to restore one-party rule. But their efforts would ultimately fail. These are analyses rooted in feng shui and Chinese metaphysical beliefs. In a country with a long-standing tradition of spiritual and metaphysical culture such as China, some people consider these perspectives worthy of attention. I hope this information has been helpful in providing another way of looking at the subject. As for how events will actually unfold, only time will tell. What do you think?
