China’s number two general He Weidong and eight other high-ranking officials have been expelled from the ruling Communist Party on corruption charges. They are the most senior officers to be purged in an anti-graft push that began in 2023. General He was last seen in public in March and his absence fuelled speculation he was under investigation. The defence ministry said the nine men are suspected of financial crimes involving QUOTE “an extremely large amount of money”.

On August 7, 2025, China introduced the K visa, targeting young foreign talent with a bachelor’s degree or higher, effective October 1. Requiring no work experience or employer contract, it sparked massive social media backlash by late September, with netizens arguing it allows foreigners to compete for jobs amid high youth unemployment. Unlike R and Z visas for high-end and professional talent, the K visa aims to boost consumption, not employment, as domestic spending falters and investment drops sharply (9.3% in August). With a 63% macro leverage ratio and 54 million credit-restricted citizens, the government seeks foreign spending to offset economic deflation. However, the policy’s low threshold ignited public outrage, culminating in a crashed petition website and media rebuttals, highlighting tensions over job competition and the government’s apparent abandonment of domestic youth for foreign economic contributions.

In a rare moment in diplomacy, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent names a Chinese official who threatens global chaos if the U.S. imposes port fees on China. “I think his name is Lee Chenggang,” Bessent said. “And, you know, threatening, saying that China would unleash chaos on the global system if the U.S. went ahead with our docking fees for Chinese ships.”In a tit-for-tat trade war, President Donald Trump is warning he may block Chinese cooking oil imports after Beijing stopped buying U.S. soybeans.A new report reveals that more than 500 U.S. universities may be helping China’s military advance its technology.

Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang joins ‘Mornings with Maria’ to discuss U.S.–China trade tensions, Trump’s tariff threat, Xi Jinping’s waning power and rising fears Beijing could move on Taiwan within the next few years.

This claim has been making the rounds, so let’s discuss it.

Rumors of Xi Jinping’s stroke, a sudden rare-earth export blitz, and Trump’s explosive 100% tariff threat — all within one week. What really happened behind Beijing’s dramatic U-turn? In this episode, we uncover the truth behind Trump’s remark that “Xi had a bad moment,” the internal power struggle shaking the CCP, and why China’s leadership crisis is far from over. From stroke rumors to trade chaos, this is the story of how Xi’s illusion of control began to crumble — and why the outcome of the Fourth Plenum could change China’s future.

The Chinese Communist Party is infiltrating US cities. Michael Sobolik explains how the CCP’s United Front Work Department launders its propaganda through local communities and politicians, using them to advance Beijing’s agenda inside America. Why settle for diplomacy when you have subversion?

The Hurun Research Institute’s report reveals a decline in China’s affluent households since 2022, aligning with the real estate market’s downturn. Households with assets over six million yuan dropped to 5.128 million, while those exceeding ten million fell by thousands annually due to emigration and asset shrinkage, primarily from property values constituting 50-70% of wealth. This has led to cash flow concerns and a pessimistic mindset among the wealthy, with money now ranking third in priorities after health and happiness. Consumption is shifting from flashy luxuries to practical family needs, with tech products leading. High-net-worth individuals are categorized into six groups, mostly defensive, highlighting risks of social decline. In contrast, U.S. wealth grows amid inflation, supporting optimistic consumption.

As the Trump administration tightens immigration rules, China is doing the opposite. The Chinese Communist Party just launched the K-Visa, a new program meant to lure foreign STEM graduates to China with job opportunities and easy entry requirements.But while the CCP hopes this will help it surpass the US technologically, it’s infuriated China’s own young people—who are already facing record unemployment and see the K-Visa as an insult.On Chinese social media, millions are asking why the government is recruiting foreigners when millions of Chinese graduates can’t find work. Critics also question whether the program favors foreign degrees over domestic ones, revealing how little confidence many have left in China’s system.Chris Chappell explains why the K-Visa might actually deepen China’s internal crisis, how the CCP’s lack of transparency fuels resentment, and why angry young citizens could become the Party’s biggest threat yet.
