Five Major Decision-Making Errors of the Chinese Communist Party in 2025
As 2025 is about to come to an end, has the CCP been making “brilliant moves one after another, getting every step right, and becoming more prosperous the more ‘diligent’ it is in governance”? Not at all. Recently, many people have taken stock of and analyzed the CCP’s domestic and foreign policies
How Many People Has Buying a Home Driven Mad?
In China, buying a home of one’s own actually requires draining the savings of both spouses and their parents—and even grandparents on both sides—emptying the lifetime savings of three generations and turning all these elders into mortgage slaves as well. As the mainland economy continues to decline and housing prices plunge, China’s property market has erupted with a wave of “negative equity,” which has already caused many mortgage holders to collapse emotionally. Many homeowners, due to unemployment or pay cuts, now face the risk of being unable to repay their mortgages and having their home

The RMB’s Illusory Strength on the Eve of an Economic Avalanche and the CCP’s Weaponization of Trade

Two days later, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of the Chinese Communist Party passed a revision to the Foreign Trade Law, which will take effect on March 1, 2026. The new law strengthens the state’s sovereign control over trade. This series of macroeconomic adjustments is not random, but carries strong characteristics of state intervention and governm

“Not Playing Along!” — Baoding, Hebei Merchants Avoid Illegal Fines This Way
When facing CCP tyranny, there are many ways to protect oneself. Using peaceful means to avoid the violent machinery—and refusing to play along with the CCP’s violent tools—is also a good approach.

The United States Moves on All Fronts to Curb the Expansion of the Chinese Communist Party’s Influence
Since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January this year, he has no longer emphasized “great-power competition” in relations with China.

Hainan Free Trade Port Is Just Another Xi-Style Empty Cannon Shot
The CCP has rolled out another major move: creating a Hainan Free Trade Port. The general explanation is that it is meant to offset Sino–U.S. decoupling and external blockades, to build a Chinese version of an “offshore economic zone,” and to drive the service sector and consumption. The policy of “opening the first line while controlling the second line” would be implemented, with zero tariffs on most imported goods and preferential tax rates for specific enterprises and individuals, in an attempt to challenge the “free port” status of Hong Kong and Singapore.
Five Major Social Problems Intensify and Deteriorate — China May Face Major Upheaval in 2026
Based on the development trends in a series of social issues in 2025—including politics, the economy, the military, people’s livelihoods, and natural and man-made disasters in Communist China—the author predicts that in 2026 the Chinese mainland will not be peaceful. Social unrest, economic decline, and people’s suffering will continue. Corruption, internal chaos, and mass alienation of the people brought about by the CCP’s violent and tyrannical rule will intensify. Coupled with the development of natural and man-made disasters and international isolation, this may expose the illegitimacy of
