Now, the Chinese communist regime has greatly expanded its efforts to surveil and influence events beyond its own borders—even here on American soil.

Things are getting weird inside China’s top leadership. Xi Jinping skips the BRICS Summit, his wife disappears, the military hints at mutiny—and meanwhile, his rivals are stealing the spotlight. In this episode, we connect the dots: from strange parade politics to Peng Liyuan’s awkward comeback, and from factional power plays to ominous military purges. Is Xi still calling the shots? Or is Beijing quietly preparing for life after him? Even U.S. think tanks are drawing up plans for a post-CCP China. Let’s diving into the drama unfolding inside Zhongnanhai, and it’s more revealing than any press release.

A Chinese defector to Russia brought with him Xi Jinping’s secret plan to stab Russia in the back if Putin is defeated in Ukraine.

This exposé sheds light on key developments in geopolitics, including Wang Yi’s blunt remarks in Brussels and Putin’s continued refusal to engage in peace talks.

China Lied About Its Population — The Real Number Might Shock YouWhat if everything you’ve ever heard about China’s population… was a lie?The Chinese Communist Party has long claimed that China has 1.4 billion people — the biggest population on Earth, a market so massive it commands global respect, investment, and fear.

In Part 2, coming tomorrow, we’ll expose how the virus tore through a vulnerable, aging population — and why China’s real death toll may be far higher than you’ve been told.👉 If you care about the truth behind China’s rise and coming collapse, you do NOT want to miss this.🔥 Watch now.

China’s June Data Dive: Exports, Imports, and Stimulus. || Digging into ChinaJune 2025 trade data reveals China’s exports grew 5.8%, surpassing expectations, while imports rose 1.1%, below forecasts, yielding a $114.77 billion trade surplus. Despite a $586 billion first-half surplus, foreign exchange reserves grew only $115 billion, largely due to asset appreciation. De-dollarization efforts reduced U.S. Treasury holdings, but export reliance on Southeast Asia and the EU faces challenges from looming U.S. tariffs and EU tensions. Rare earth exports surged, though prices fell due to low-end product sales. Vehicle exports hit record highs, but mobile phone exports dropped. Weak domestic demand is evident in declining crude oil and car imports. Social financing grew, driven by government bonds, not credit. Manufacturing relocation to Southeast Asia risks domestic unemployment, creating rust belts. Stimulus of 1-1.5 trillion yuan is proposed, but significant policy action may wait until Q4 post-U.S. trade talks.0:00 Intro1:25 Unveiling June’s Trade Performance2:05 The Trade Surplus Puzzle3:21 Tariff Wars and Export Strategies4:32 Southeast Asia’s Trade Boost5:12 Rare Earths: A Strategic Shift6:56 Export Trends: Phones, Cars, and Ships8:26 Imports and the Domestic Demand Struggle9:33 Social Financing: No Structural Shift10:37 Credit and Money Supply Challenges12:09 Manufacturing Migration and Rust Belts13:08 Stimulus Outlook and Economic Priorities

In 2025, as China’s BYD electric vehicle surged on the global sales list at an unprecedented pace, it never anticipated hitting a wall in one particular country. This wasn’t about business competition or a trade dispute. The Israeli Ministry of Defense, through an internal directive, labeled this star product from China with a fatal tag. Why would a civilian vehicle be targeted in this way by a nation renowned for its intelligence and military expertise? What are the cameras, microphones, and sensors inside the car actually collecting? And where is the data it transmits quietly being sent? The alarm has been sounded in Tel Aviv, not just for Israel, but for the entire world.

Korean Air Says “NO” to COMAC C919 that SHOCKED Everyone! Here’s why=== #fligavia #boeing #airbus #c919 #aviation ===00:00 Intro00:25 COMAC’s Strategy02:35 Korean Air’s Statement05:48 Barriers07:43 International reaction11:34 Conclusion ===Korean Air Says “NO” to COMAC C919 that SHOCKED Everyone! Here’s whyComac’s ambition to conquer the international skies has just been hit with a cold splash of reality from Korean Air. While China is fervently promoting its aircraft as the new symbol of its domestic aviation prowess, Korean Air, one of the largest airlines in Asia, has issued a statement that sent shockwaves through the industry.But what exactly did this South Korean carrier say? And how seriously did China respond to that? Let’s find out!Comac is actively expanding the international market for its aircraft.Indeed, Comac is implementing a comprehensive strategy to expand its international market for domestic commercial aircraft, focusing on Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.First and foremost, the Chinese manufacturer has been increasing its presence at major international aviation events such as the Paris Air Show, Dubai Airshow, and Singapore Airshow. At these events, the company not only showcases models and technical specifications of its two flagship aircraft, the ARJ 21 and C9 1 9, but also seizes the opportunity to establish relationships with potential partners. Numerous memoranda of understanding have been signed at these events, indicating growing international interest in “Made in China” aviation products.Korean Air Says “NO” to COMAC C919 that SHOCKED Everyone! Here’s whyAt the same time, this aircraft maker is also strengthening direct cooperation with foreign airlines. Several carriers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa have expressed interest in operating Comac aircraft. Notably, GallopAir (Brunei) has signed a preliminary agreement to purchase both the ARJ 21 and C9 1 9, marking an important step in expanding its customer base beyond China.Besides, Southeast Asia is considered a strategic focal point by Comac. In Vietnam, the company is advancing cooperation with Vietjet and has held numerous high-level meetings with government leaders to discuss financial incentives, technical support, and technology transfer possibilities. In Indonesia, the C9 oh 9 model has been delivered to TransNusa, a concrete step in realizing the strategy of “taking products beyond borders.” Lao Airlines and Cambodia’s national carrier have also been proactively approached by the Chinese aircraft maker to establish a stable operational network in the region.Korean Air Says “NO” to COMAC C919 that SHOCKED Everyone! Here’s whyBeyond marketing and agreements, this manufacturer also focuses on establishing an international support infrastructure. The company has opened representative offices in Singapore and Hong Kong, and signed agreements with Haeco (a subsidiary of the Swire Pacific Group, the parent company of Cathay Pacific) to ensure maintenance and after-sales services for international customers.Korean Air’s StatementWhile Comac is making relentless efforts to expand globally, the reality exposes a concerning paradox: the ambitious strides of this Chinese aircraft manufacturer have yet to truly shake up the international market. Despite appearing at major exhibitions and announcing memoranda of understanding with some emerging airlines, these actions have not been enough to dispel the skepticism from major industry players.

China’s second-quarter 2025 economic data reveals a stark contrast between reported figures and reality. The CCP claims a 5.3% GDP growth and a 5.0% rise in consumer spending, with urban and rural retail sales up 5.0% and 4.9%, respectively. Exports reportedly reached $325.18 billion in June, with a 17% increase to ASEAN and 7.7% to the EU, but a 9.9% drop to the U.S. These figures are heavily manipulated. ASEAN data shows export growth of only 10-12%, with China inflating exports by $40 billion. U.S. imports from China fell to $20 billion, yet China overstated exports by $8.4 billion. EU electric vehicle imports dropped 38%, despite claims of up to 89% growth. China’s trade surplus is exaggerated by $75-80 billion, with actual reserves likely around $3.09 trillion, reflecting systemic falsification to mask economic weaknesses.

What does it mean when someone says, “A gun is pressed against your head at your doorstep”?

In the video, the man is pinned against the wall by at least two strong women, who are also putting handcuffs on him. The video captures him shouting “Help!” in Chinese, as he tries to break free. However, his chances of escaping appear slim. Soon, two large men, wearing masks, approach from the opposite side of the street. They first instruct a woman nearby to open the car door, and then, together with the two women who had been restraining the man, they force him into the vehicle.
