[People News] Just before U.S. President Trump's visit to China, the White House issued four messages that have garnered considerable attention. These messages pertain to security concerns for Trump, the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, allegations of fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and the Chinese Communist Party's substantial military support for Iran. Notably, the fourth message is particularly explosive.

The visit to China is set to last only 36 hours, highlighting significant security considerations.

Media reports indicate that Trump's itinerary for this visit is quite compact, with an expected stay of only about 36 hours in Beijing—essentially a day and a half—without plans to visit other cities.

Sources suggest that the shortened schedule may be linked to security assessments. Some voices within the U.S. believe that, given the current international climate, high-ranking U.S. officials visiting China require enhanced security measures.

The U.S. has officially identified the source of the COVID-19 virus.

Another noteworthy message concerns the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. State Department has stated that it has officially determined the source of the COVID-19 virus to be the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Previously, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence had disclosed all relevant intelligence on this issue.

The COVID-19 pandemic first emerged in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019, subsequently spreading across the globe and resulting in unprecedented disasters and a staggering death toll.

The Chinese Communist Party is accused of secretly manipulating the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

The third message addresses allegations of fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. It directly asserts that during the 2020 election, the Chinese Communist Party colluded with domestic anti-Trump factions to covertly manipulate the election, leading to Trump's defeat.

Prior to Trump's visit to China, the Director of National Intelligence once again highlighted this issue. The aim is to intimidate the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) while also warning the anti-Trump factions in the U.S. Senate not to overreach regarding the 'Save America Act.'

The U.S. military has issued a targeted elimination warning against a high-ranking CCP official, although they did not specify a name.

The fourth piece of news is particularly explosive. Following extensive intelligence gathering, satellite surveillance, and information from Israel—including insights from numerous undercover agents in Iran—the U.S. has confirmed that the CCP has provided substantial military support to Iran over the years, even exceeding the support it has extended to Russia.

The U.S. military has now directly threatened a targeted elimination of a vice-premier-level official within the CCP. While no name was mentioned, insiders within the CCP understand that this refers to Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing (张国清) of the State Council.

Zhang Guoqing has a long history within the arms industry group and is well-acquainted with the CCP's conventional weapons export network and military technology systems. He has built a wide network of connections within the military-industrial supply chain. Recently, he has been accused of playing a crucial bridging role in military trade between the CCP and the Middle East.

According to sources within the CCP, Zhang Guoqing has been directly assigned tasks by Xi Jinping and has become a key coordinating figure in the CCP's conventional weapons exports and certain military technology research and development systems. His current role at the senior level has evolved beyond that of a mere technical bureaucrat; he now acts as a representative of the military-industrial complex within the upper echelons of the CCP.

Zhang Guoqing leverages his extensive military-industrial background to coordinate relevant military supply chains and maintain technical and industrial ties with Middle Eastern regimes, including Iran.

Within the upper ranks of the Chinese Communist Party, Zhang Guoqing is seen as the 'Iran expert.' He currently leads significant decision-making regarding Iranian affairs, and Xi Jinping places considerable trust in him.
