The CCP Again Exports International Terrorism, Threatening That the Danish Prime Minister Will “Have an Accident”
Recently, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) threatened that something would happen to the Danish Prime Minister—similar to how, not long ago, a CCP diplomat declared that the Japanese Prime Minister should be beheaded. Once the news broke, it again shocked the world. Such blatant threats against the personal safety of foreign heads of state are rarely seen in history. Against the backdrop of multiple assassination attempts in the past two years targeting leaders in Japan and the United States, why does the CCP dare to repeatedly act this way? Do such personal terror threats against foreign hea...

The Ten “Improper Discussions” Circulating Privately in Beijing’s Official Circles
In 2026, the Year of the Bingwu Horse, Beijing is shrouded in an eerie stillness and undercurrents of turbulence. From the massive sandstorm and blue sun on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, to reports of gunfire from Zhongnanhai at night, to the ten topics spreading wildly in private official conversations—these whispers are no longer isolated complaints but clear signals of collective psychological collapse within the system. The ban on “improperly discussing the central authorities” has become meaningless, and the criticism points directly at Xi Jinping....

Praying for Blessings During the New Year Is a Tradition — When Facing Hardship, Young People Turn First to “Seeking the Divine”
Every Lunar New Year, people across mainland China flock to major temples to worship and pray for blessings, hoping that the coming year will bring smooth sailing, peace, and good fortune. Such scenes leave the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) discouraged, because it clearly realizes that its brainwashing of the public has failed. No matter how much the CCP promotes atheism and evolution, when ordinary people have wishes or troubles, they still run to temples or churches to pray to gods and Buddhas in heaven. No matter how much the CCP praises itself as “great, glorious, and correct” or as a “gre...
