Most people’s understanding of Wen Jiabao is completely wrong
I hadn’t posted in the “Defense Zone” before; I came here because I’d heard of it. Long ago I saw some very classic comments about Premier Wen here, and I couldn’t help but sigh: sure enough, even overseas, the majority of people who grew up under the CCP’s one-dimensional information model still lack the ability to discern news sources and also lack news sensitivity. Under long-term propaganda brainwashing (as well as self-brainwashing and mutual brainwashing), they gradually become assimilated, parroting the same old clichés and repeating what others say, losing the vigilance and motivation
Wang Yi Shakes Hands with Sanctioned Rubio, Drawing Mockery
In a CIA recruitment advertisement aimed at Chinese intelligence sources, the CCP leadership was referred to as “madmen.” To save face, the CCP changed the Chinese transliteration of the U.S. Secretary of State’s name from “卢比奥” (Lu Bi’ao) to “鲁比奥” (Lu Bi’ao with a different first character), in order to avoid the embarrassment of having “卢比奥” listed on its sanctions roster. Some netizens commented, “Only madmen could come up with this kind of shameless tactic just to save face.”

From the Zhang Youxia Case: The Moment the CCP Fears Most
Recently, a short video has been circulating online. A reporter asked a Chinese naval soldier: “Can this naval gun also be used for anti-air fire?” The soldier answered without the slightest hesitation: “Wherever the Party tells us to fire, that’s where we fire.” What sends a chill down one’s spine about this sentence is not that it is radical, but that it is too standard, too fluent, too devoid of any trace of humanity. You barely have time to think before realizing: if one day the direction of the order points toward the people, this sentence would apply just the same.
