From “Hand-Craft Economy” to “Hand-Crafted 5nm Chips”: Xi Jinping’s Endless Meme Supply
Recently, a new buzzword has taken off inside China’s internet sphere: “hand-craft economy.” Note — this does not mean traditional handicrafts.

With the rise of AI technology, many young people now use artificial intelligence to help them create projects or complete tasks using only manual effort or simple tools....

The Economics of a Furious Ruler: China’s Fiscal Revenue Falls for the First Time in Five Years
China’s economy continues to “create miracles,” with officially reported GDP growth consistently holding at 5%, astonishing the world. The official data shows resilience, yet people on the ground feel as if they are stuck in a bitter winter.

Military Commission Revises Disciplinary Punishment Rules
Since Zhang Youxia was abruptly arrested, the CCP political arena has appeared calm on the surface, but in reality undercurrents are surging. The shockwaves this event has sent through CCP politics—and the rifts and infighting within the CCP military—continue to rise from deep within Zhongnanhai’s political depths to the surface. On February 5, the NPC Standing Committee avoided a proposal from military delegates to strip Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli of their NPC deputy qualifications, indicating that Xi Jinping has encountered strong resistance in the subsequent handling of the Zhang Youxia ca...

Was Chen Yuan Positioned to Guard Xi’s Rear During the Zhang Youxia Arrest — and Linked to the Li Keqiang Case?
Ten days after Xi Jinping moved against Zhang Youxia, mainland outlet Caixin cited a report from the Beijing Daily saying Chen Yuan, former commander of the Shanghai Armed Police Corps, had been reassigned in early January to a leadership post in the Beijing Garrison Command. In other words, during Xi’s move against Zhang, Chen Yuan was positioned to “guard the rear.” Chen is seen as aligned with He Weidong’s faction and has been linked by rumor to responsibility for Li Keqiang’s mysterious death in Shanghai. This fuels the belief that Xi’s move against Zhang had been planned for a long time a...
