Zhai Shanying: Do you feel the cold in 2026?

In the video, Zhai Shanying shares a fake recruitment event for the CCP's military, sparking deep reflection on the severe information falsification in the country. Through a test for recruiting naval pilots, he demonstrates how the CCP engages in deception in important matters, with even official media participating. Zhai Shanying points out that this phenomenon reflects the CCP's objectives in information dissemination, emphasizing the huge gap between the public's desire for truth and the actual situation. At the same time, he discusses the upcoming Order No. 56, hinting at the gap between the appearance and the reality of protecting the rights of over-age laborers, calling on everyone to pay attention to the true intentions behind the policy.

Not bad, today is quite fast.

Hello everyone, today is Friday, June 5, 2026. Welcome to Zhai Shanying's YouTube channel for chatting and relaxing. Sleep aid for friends in China, wake-up call for friends overseas.

Because I have some things to do today and in the coming days, I will speak a bit faster, okay. Anyway, listening to me talk is just rambling, so feel free to listen.

Let's start. Hello, hello. As per my old habit, I'll start with an interesting little story, and from this story, we can perceive the current mainstream trend of falsification and deception in the CCP's China.

As everyone knows, almost every relevant field and market you see in the CCP's China contains a large amount of falsification and deception, primarily led by the CCP ruling party. Family planning, state-provided elderly care, the return of Hong Kong with "no change for 50 years," and so on—there are too many fake things, old things, and deceptive things. In laws and regulations, policies, data, various things, falsification in the financial field, and falsification in the academic field.

Some time ago, we all know that a student named Geng went viral on the Chinese internet for publishing a large number of issues regarding academic fraud by academicians and university professors in the CCP's China. Currently, Student Geng's domestic accounts have been permanently shadow-banned, and his Xingtu commercial orders have been permanently blocked.

Falsification in this country is very bizarre. So, to start, I'll tell you about a recent case that is the most bizarre among the bizarre—a case of fake recruitment for the CCP's military, which breaks the upper limit of bizarre.

We know that normally, for a country's military to recruit soldiers, especially officers like naval pilots—because any pilot is an officer, this is a cutting-edge branch—they should naturally be measured by standards of high precision, rigor, and zero tolerance for errors.

Now, if the recruitment of naval pilots is all an act, can you imagine the actual combat level of the CCP's real military?

This is the first time I'm starting this early, a few minutes early, yes. I'll have some things to do later, sorry.

I don't know if you've recently seen a video program on the domestic internet from the official television station of the Henan Provincial Government of the CCP's China, called Elephant News, which is circulating on many domestic websites. The content of the video is simple: in Elephant News, the CCP Navy conducted a public recruitment activity targeting fresh graduates from military and civilian universities, which was a recruitment activity for CCP naval pilots.

Pilots are officers, which is a very important position. There were many spectators on site. Then, a male reporter from Elephant News had a competition with a female Chinese Navy pilot responsible for recruitment on site. What was the purpose? To highlight that the CCP's naval pilots are extraordinary.

What was the method of competition? It was called a maze test. A person holds a metal pen in a very complex graphic, where the upper and lower walls of the graphic are electrified. A metal maze with a gap in the middle; one must move quickly from the starting point to the end point. If the hand is unsteady and the metal rod or pen touches the maze wall during movement, the red light of the device will light up, accompanied by a buzzer.

The video came out a long time ago, I remember.

Before the competition, the Elephant News reporter specifically introduced that for the Naval Aviation branch, which requires high precision operations—even described as "dancing on a needle's tip"—the maze test is a very commonly used selection test item. In this project, trained pilots are much more capable than ordinary people like us.

I personally am not clear about the results of this maze test, or whether trained pilots are actually better than normal people, or if there is a direct relationship between this logical connection and the maze test results. But since the TV news said so, I accept that there is a relationship.

First, the reporter did the test. During the process, the reporter walked carefully, but the metal pen kept touching the maze walls, the red light of the maze device kept lighting up, and the buzzer kept ringing.

Now, something very important happened. Because the filming angle was from the side, just like how my computer is plugged into power, the power cord part of the maze was exactly on the edge facing the camera. So everyone can clearly see in the video that when the reporter was navigating the maze, the device was plugged into the power cord.

The reporter finished, and oh, so many lights. Next, it should be the female Navy pilot's test. Logically, a professionally trained female pilot must be much stronger than the reporter; otherwise, how could the prowess of the CCP's naval pilots be highlighted?

The female pilot took the pen and started navigating the maze. But miraculously, at this time in the video frame, everyone can clearly see that at the corner of the maze closest to the camera, the power cord was unplugged. Since the maze power was near the camera, after the power cord was unplugged, the device exposed an empty power connector, unconnected to electricity.

The female pilot moved the metal pen quickly through the maze, and throughout the process, the red light certainly did not light up, and the buzzer did not ring. There was no power; ten people could walk through it and it wouldn't ring. But those who didn't know, it seemed the audience there, because they couldn't see the power source, all felt that the female pilot did not touch any maze walls and was very impressive.

Then the Elephant News reporter admitted defeat and praised the female pilot's operational stability. Then the female pilot held up a sign to the camera saying: Naval Pilot Recruitment, welcome to apply. Recruiting pilots.

Interesting, isn't it? I've explained this clearly, right?

This video spread quite quickly; some of us have already seen it. Why do I think this is? First, it's a program from a CCP official TV station. Second, recruiting naval pilots must be one of the most serious matters of a country. Third, such a serious official matter involved cheating, and then it was caught by the general public of the CCP's China.

Of course, I suspect that before I talked about this in my video, I don't know how it was spreading. But I suspect that after I talk about it, this video will be banned. Because I don't know how many of the subscribers are CCP people; I only know that the CCP loves me too much, and a bunch of people are staring at me. If I do something or say something related to the CCP, I can almost immediately see the feedback.

I assume everyone still remembers. By the way, I want to apologize to Dean Ma Fang of the Taishan Management Research Institute in the CCP's China. What memory? In February this year, in a live stream, I directly played a clip of Dean Ma Fang talking about why one cannot tell the truth in the CCP's China. As a result, on the third day after my live stream, Dean Ma Fang's accounts on all self-media in the CCP's China were banned. I feel very sorry to Teacher Ma, my apologies.

Therefore, I don't dare to quote any speeches or videos of people I consider to be good people in China; I won't even mention their names, as I don't want to cause trouble for them. Okay. But this time, what I'm talking about is, after all, official content from Elephant News.

Think about it, in such a serious naval aviation recruitment activity, the CCP would fake it. Why? Because the news reported by the CCP's media is never intended to show an objective fact to the general public; it is always used to complete tasks assigned by superior leaders or to submit some kind of reporting achievement to superior leaders. Therefore, the two words "news" in China are different from the rest of the world; the function is different, and the process of production is different.

This time, Elephant News certainly wanted to report that Chinese naval pilots are powerful, capable, steady-handed, and have strong psychological qualities. This is the political effect that this program most needed to guarantee. There were many spectators at the recruitment site, so if the red light kept lighting up and the buzzer kept ringing while the female pilot was doing it, the political purpose would be destroyed, and the political goal would not be achieved.

So when the female pilot did it, the male reporter went first, then the female pilot did it, and the plug was pulled here. She happened to be with her back to the audience, so the audience couldn't see the device. But unexpectedly, the camera happened to capture the socket. This ensures that the female pilot would definitely not trigger the alarm throughout the process—safe, achieving the best political effect.

I don't know for what reason—whether it was the camera position, or the program editor was too careless, or Elephant News TV station did it on purpose. Anyway, when it was presented to the general public, it just so happened that all video viewers saw the power being unplugged during the female pilot's test.

So can you imagine? Falsification in a national military's pilot recruitment activity. Just think, what in this country could be real?

If you're interested, you can look for this video online; let AI help you find it. I think the advertisement by the female pilot at the end is especially great: Naval Pilot Recruitment, welcome to apply.

Of course, I'm telling this as a little joke. Because in a country where a dictatorial ruler constantly fakes and deceives, the general public cannot expect this country to have any place where people speak the truth or tell the truth.

In this country, you want

The land and air are severely polluted, and there is no solution; the grains irrigated with such dirty water are what everyone eats daily; the tap water in many cities is often like soup, and dirty water can flow out at any moment; all food, fruits, and vegetables are problematic; counterfeit goods are sold to a world-leading extent; the fakeness is so pervasive that even genuine friendship between friends does not exist; the results of education are also fake; even the feelings between husband and wife are fake; the medical care provided is fake; increasingly, many families cannot even determine the father of their children.

In such a country of all-around fakeness, recruiting pilots is just like faking in all other fields.

I even seriously asked several AIs I frequently use to think deeply and tell me: In the People's Republic of China, from 1949 to the present, in which fields or social categories has truth existed permanently, remained unchanged, and never encountered major deception?

Let me read you the results given by artificial intelligence. The results from artificial intelligence are about what has not changed.

First, in this country, the Chinese Communist Party's goal of dictatorship and ensuring its own interests above all else is real. Laws, policies, regulations, rules, narratives, data, and all other services are generated around this core. To ensure the dictatorship and its own interests are above all else, the ruling ideology of this country has never changed.

Second, in this country, the common people have only responsibilities and no rights, which is real and has never changed. Since the founding of the country, the Chinese Communist Party has required every citizen of this country to guarantee, and only to guarantee, that they serve the CCP's first real goal, which is the dictatorship and its own interests above all else, and to voluntarily become a tool serving this purpose. All actions taken by the CCP are merely to ensure that this tool can be used and used well. Can be used means keeping the tool alive and constantly brainwashing it; used well means increasing the tool's knowledge and skills to ensure it is more useful.

The first unchanging thing is that the CCP's dictatorship and its own interests are real and have never changed. To ensure this, second, the Chinese people have always had only responsibilities and no rights, and can only be tools; this has not changed. Artificial intelligence told me this, you can ask artificial intelligence yourselves and see if the answer is the same as mine.

Third, the Chinese Communist Party continuously appropriates all the wealth of the country for itself and transfers the costs and burdens of the state to the entire society and its people, which is real and has not changed. Within the logic of the CCP's dictatorship, all the country's property is the private property of the CCP, the only difference being whether it is obtained collectively by the CCP or individually by the CCP. Therefore, all actions taken by the CCP are aimed at transferring all the country's wealth to itself, and the resulting political, economic, social, and other consequences are borne by the people.

The third unchanging thing is that the CCP established this country to appropriate all wealth for itself, with the burden borne by the people.

Fourth, from its founding to the present, the CCP has continuously implemented a governance method of first encouraging and then purging, which is real. This is quite interesting; artificial intelligence is quite interesting, and I wouldn't have thought of it myself.

What has the CCP been doing since its founding? Encouraging. For example, the Anti-Rightist Campaign was carried out by the CCP in the early days of the new China, and later the activists in the Anti-Rightist Campaign suffered tragic fates. The Cultural Revolution was initiated by the CCP, and later the activists during the Cultural Revolution also met tragic fates. Family planning was carried out by the CCP, P2P was initiated by the CCP, the real estate boom was fueled by the CCP, and new quality productive forces were proposed by the CCP, and so on. However, those who participated in family planning, those who participated in P2P, and the final dire consequences were all borne by themselves when the CCP carried out its purges.

Therefore, the fourth unchanging thing is that since the founding of the country, the CCP has continuously done one thing: a governance method of first encouraging and then purging, which has not changed and is real.

Fifth, all official data of the CCP are tools for governance, not factual results, which is also real. Therefore, many people in China, including those found by artificial intelligence, use data for analysis, and the result they told me was: all data officially released by the CCP are tools for governance, not factual results. This is also true.

So, everyone, think about it. If these five points are true, then everything else in this country is fake. Laws and regulations, ownership of wealth, data, news, appearances, various chaotic projects, etc., are all forms of expression, all for external consumption. Every action taken by the Chinese Communist Party, no matter how varied on the surface, is fundamentally driven by eight characters: ensuring the dictatorial rule of the CCP.

If you are sent abroad to study, and your studies conflict with dictatorial rule, they will immediately crush you. If you are allowed to develop a business, and your development conflicts with the CCP's dictatorial rule, they will immediately crush you. If they say they will provide for your old age, and your old age conflicts with the CCP's dictatorial rule, they will immediately crush you. If your rights are protected by law, and your rights conflict with the CCP's dictatorial rule, they will immediately crush you.

Anything written is a form of expression, and underneath it must be the foundation of these eight characters: ensuring the dictatorial rule of the CCP. This is the true reality, forming the five points above.

So, everyone, think about what kind of state you are living in in this country. Why do I always say that if you can leave, you should think for yourselves.

The small anecdote at the beginning is finished. I originally hoped everyone would have a laugh, after all, even recruiting naval pilots can involve fraud. But I don't know if everyone can laugh. The matter I will discuss next is not something to laugh about.

I told you that the CCP used to issue one policy a month, but now it's two or three policies a month, imposing exorbitant taxes and levies, and scraping the land. It's terrifying; this frequency makes me feel scared even for 2026, and this is related to today's topic.

The colder it gets, the more the CCP does this; the more it does this, the colder it gets. Maintaining stability, not admitting mistakes, not changing, and exploiting to the fullest.

What is this matter? On July 1, 2026, less than a month away, the CCP will implement a decree from five ministries: the State Administration of Taxation, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the National Health Commission, the National Healthcare Security Administration, and the Ministry of Emergency Management. It is Order No. 56, the "Provisional Regulations on the Protection of Basic Rights and Interests of Over-aged Workers." This will be implemented nationwide and enforced compulsorily.

Order No. 56, "Provisional Regulations on the Protection of Basic Rights and Interests of Over-aged Workers." Simultaneously with the implementation of this decree, the CCP has also stated that a five-year plan for the supervision and inspection of medical insurance funds, phased verification, normalization of social security tax collection and inspection, and pension eligibility verification will be implemented concurrently. All of these are aimed at checking this money, you know? Social security, taxation, medical insurance, and pension eligibility verification are all related to money.

What is this matter? According to news drafts from China Central Television and Xinhua News Agency, this decree is accompanied by a nationwide special governance campaign. It is not a temporary inspection but a normalized regulatory system built upon the Golden Tax System, China's big data platform, and interconnected systems with national social security, medical insurance, and other departments.

The main target population covered is 92 million retired and re-employed workers who are over the statutory retirement age and still working.

The stated purpose of this decree issued by the CCP is, on the surface, certainly good: it is clearly intended to protect the interests of those who have exceeded the statutory retirement age and are still working on a re-hired basis. Of course, the current retirement age is 60 for men and 55 for women. Starting this year, this retirement age is being gradually delayed. This decree will be extended accordingly, following the delay in retirement age.

This decree requires that for employers of over-aged personnel, if these over-aged personnel have not paid social security for at least 15 years, the employer must cooperate with the over-aged personnel to pay social security as employees. Note that it is employee social security, not urban-rural social security. For medical insurance, if the over-aged personnel are paying the annually renewable urban-rural medical insurance, they can also switch to the employee medical insurance paid by the employer. Why? As long as they switch to employee social security, there will be pooling.

The regulations require that the wages of over-aged personnel shall not be lower than the local minimum wage standard, and it is prohibited to offset remuneration in any form other than cash. Because paying in cash means paying taxes, which is related to taxation. If other things are used for offset, there will be no tax.

The regulations prohibit regular overtime for over-aged personnel. If overtime is required, it must be strictly calculated according to statutory standards. Employers must participate in special work-related injury insurance for over-aged workers. If it is a special type of work, special work-related injury insurance must be paid, and the premiums shall be entirely borne by the employer. Pay insurance.

All units employing over-aged personnel must sign a standardized labor agreement with them at least on the day they are hired. In case of labor arbitration, details such as work location, remuneration, rest, and leave must be clearly defined.

In addition, the regulations clearly state that high salaries with low social security contribution bases will be strictly investigated. All basic salaries, performance bonuses, position allowances, transportation and meal subsidies, full attendance bonuses, sales commissions, year-end bonuses, etc., must be included in the total wage base for contributions, and individual income tax and social security contributions must be paid according to the total contribution base. Any voluntary waiver of social security agreements signed by over-aged personnel will be void.

Furthermore, four categories of over-aged personnel must proactively undergo certification with the relevant local authorities, otherwise, their entitled pensions will be suspended.

Category 1: Pensioners who reside abroad permanently and have no domestic real-name authentication records.

Category 2: High-aged individuals who are bedridden and severely disabled, and rarely go out.

Category 3: Pensioners who have moved their household registration, are receiving pensions in another locality, and have not updated their permanent residence information.

Category 4: Pensioners whose ID information has expired or whose social security enrollment files are incomplete.

And so on, I won't read the rest, there's a lot more.

The news concludes by stating that this nationwide long-term strict investigation, on the surface, is a tightening of supervision, but

In reality, it is to solidify the safety net of social security and medical insurance funds, and protect the retirement savings and medical expenses of hundreds of millions of insured individuals. How well said, how touching. At the same time, this regulation fills the gap in the rights and interests of the over-aged population, so that retired and rehired personnel are no longer in a gray area of employment, with guaranteed work injury protection and a baseline for remuneration, achieving a win-win situation for both regulation and convenience for the people.

I won't go into the details, you can read it yourself if you are interested.

What do you all feel after listening? What do you all feel after listening? Those who ask questions, ask at the end.

I don't know how you all feel after hearing Order No. 56. My first feeling is, why in a country like China with such high unemployment, are there still 92 million over-aged people being hired and rehired? With so many young people unable to find jobs and not picky about wages, no one wants them. There must be a reason for this anomaly.

So after investigation and verification, it was finally confirmed that these 92 million people are mainly composed of two types of people, two completely different categories of people.

The first category is people rehired by the government or related government agencies. These individuals are not covered by this regulation, because anyone rehired by the government or related agencies is basically already receiving a high pension and medical insurance. Therefore, when they are invited to work, the government and related agencies must have offered very high conditions, and there are inevitable reasons. For example, they may possess special resources, or a special brand, or even be employed just to collect salaries. Therefore, their employers must have paid them a lot. Without such great incentives, these people, who are already receiving high pensions and medical insurance, would not come out to work.

Of course, although this part is a large portion, it is not a huge number. After all, the total number of government and related employees and retirees in China is only about 100 million. So this group should not account for even one-tenth of the 92 million.

The remaining more than 90% of people are the target of this regulation. These workers are basically the poorest group in the People's Republic of China. That is, these people, although over 60 years old, still have to work hard to earn a basic living for themselves or their families. Most of them are migrant workers, flexible employed individuals, security guards, cleaners, nannies, warehouse keepers, night shift workers, general laborers, etc.

The reason why employers hire these elderly people instead of young people is primarily because they are cheap. Hiring these over-aged elderly people does not require signing labor contracts, nor does it require paying social security and income tax, nor does it require purchasing expensive work injury insurance or special occupational insurance. A simple verbal or written agreement is signed, and the responsibility lies with the individual if something goes wrong.

After all, China currently has a high unemployment rate. If it were not for the low employment cost of these elderly people and these jobs, and the minimal burden on employers, employers would not hire them at all. They would hire younger people who are more capable and have better physical condition. Because most of these jobs are not intellectual work, but physical labor. Young people can definitely complete more work than these elderly people, as they have more strength.

China's current economic situation is not a shortage of labor, but an oversupply of labor, a massive oversupply. Therefore, a large number of jobs do not require these tens of millions of over-aged people to fill them; this is not the case. It is simply that employers hire these informal over-aged individuals at a low cost, significantly reducing their own labor costs and responsibilities.

After the regulation came out, it became clear. Do you all understand the purpose of this regulation? The Communist Party of China must have realized that for most employers hiring these 90 million people, they would fall outside the scope of not paying taxes, not paying social security, and not paying work injury insurance. In this situation, these employers and these elderly people cannot be exploited by the CCP. This is something that the CCP, which is currently short of money, cannot tolerate.

Therefore, the promulgation of this regulation will completely eliminate the advantages of employers hiring these over-aged individuals. Since they will have to pay relevant social security and taxes, and also purchase work injury insurance and special occupational insurance for these elderly people, most employers should no longer dare to hire these over-aged elderly people.

Even these employers may, in order to evade this national regulation, resort to more malicious means, pushing these over-aged elderly people from overt employment to more basic and hidden black labor sectors. For example, daily cash payments, no employment records, and purely temporary miscellaneous jobs. After all, these employers also want to save money. Otherwise, they wouldn't hire them. If they have to pay like this, they will either not hire them, or they will push them into more hidden areas that are difficult to investigate, paying them less, and the elderly will have even less protection.

Think about it, in the current environment of rapid economic decline in China, how many employers would be foolish enough to actually increase taxes, social security, and insurance for the elderly according to this regulation? Are these enterprises and commercial enterprises in China living comfortably or struggling?

Therefore, the result of this regulation is that the poorest and oldest group in China will find it impossible to find jobs. Then their remaining fate should be to watch themselves die.

The CCP will not think this way. For the Communist Party of China, after this law is promulgated, even if only a small number of businesses are forced to pay more to the CCP for some reason, and the elderly are replaced by young people, and more taxes and insurance are paid, the CCP will be satisfied with the increased exploitation. However, the life and death of these over-aged elderly people have never been the CCP's consideration.

So why am I talking about this? I believe that before I explained this, many people might have thought,

Those of you who stayed can take a look; it's all very disgusting.

So, do you understand what I mean? I'm saying so much to express a concept: none of the water army (paid trolls) who left comments have actually watched the video content to see what was said. No one watched it; they just looked at the title and then started spraying hate, all jumping out. A small trap reveals it: how many CCP water army members there are. It might not seem obvious to you, but they are actually hiding behind the scenes. Just one small trap, and they all jump out.

Usually, in my videos, you can see that with hundreds of thousands of views, there are only a hundred or so comments. This time, with tens of thousands of views, there are two or three hundred comments.

The way the water army operates is very simple: they do not analyze or evaluate any specific content of the video because they haven't even watched it. They do only one thing: personal attacks and personal strikes. They use the "ten years" issue as a pretext to express how unreliable I am, using sticks and labels, taking turns at it.

These people actually demonstrate the essence of the Chinese Communist Party, this dictatorial rogue party. But don't be angry; this innate inferiority complex is not limited to the CCP water army.

When I was abroad, many people asked me, especially when we weren't close, foreigners asked me what the fundamental difference between people from the CCP state and people from the West, Japan, Singapore, and other countries was. I said, based on my own personal experience—and please don't be angry—that except for the citizens of the People's Republic of China, people from all other countries, when I discuss things with them, are very accustomed to discussing the matter at hand, and the focus of all discussions is the matter itself.

There is only one exception: people from the People's Republic of China, a large number of them. My personal estimate is that they have been brainwashed by the Chinese Communist Party for too long, and the innate inferiority complex is all there. Even former citizens of the CCP state who have lived abroad for a relatively long time, because of the education they received from the Chinese Communist Party, when discussing things, eventually drift into some level of personal attack. Then, as if to prove a point, they argue that as long as the person opposite them is bad, their viewpoint must be bad.

It's just like how the person named Gao has been arguing recently; they don't talk about the matter itself at all. As long as they define the person as bad—it doesn't matter who defines it—as long as they throw some dirty water on them and put the opponent in a position of constant self-defense, then that person wins. When you completely avoid discussing the matter itself, it's equivalent to directly defeating the opponent.

This is the ugly face of the CCP's rogue proletarians. You are here to discuss the matter; what does it have to do with the person? It doesn't have to be this way.

My comment section is the same. They use the argument that, "Oh, Zhai said two years, then he said ten years, this person has a problem, this person is talking nonsense, this person has a moral problem." As for the matter itself, they don't look at it at all, and they don't watch the content.

This characteristic is truly only found in people from the People's Republic of China; there's no other way. I've encountered people from the US, UK, EU, Australia, and many Asian countries, and I've almost never encountered this. Discussing a matter is just discussing a matter. But when you chat with Chinese people, it very easily turns into personal attacks, very easily turns into personal attacks, it's all personal attacks.

So you see, do you see it now? Do you see those people in the comment section now? It's the same; it's all personal attacks.

For example, regarding the Huawei "Tao Law" (掏定律) issue, when foreigners discuss this, whether it's Westerners or CEO Jensen Huang of NVIDIA, the discussion is entirely on the technical level of this law. But the core of the discussion among CCP state experts and scholars is either nationalistic emotion—something like Huawei's rise, others looking down on it, Huawei is awesome—or the character of the commenter, such as saying CEO Huang is not a good person, and so on.

You almost never see experts from the CCP state explain the technical loopholes of Huawei's "Tao Law" from a technical perspective, as international professionals do. You don't see it. It's all these personal attacks, strikes, and emotional language; it's all these things.

So why tell everyone to run, to escape. The People's Republic of China is a very magical country. I estimate that many of you listeners of my channel will find that your own family members and many people around you are like this. If a neighbor does something, the matter itself is not important; the matter will inevitably lead to the neighbor's character, life details, and so on. If a conflict arises between a couple, the contradiction produced by the matter is not important; it's very likely that this contradiction or matter will easily escalate to whose family, background, or habits they were spoiled with. No one cares about the person's character or background in relation to the matter; it has nothing to do with the matter.

Chinese people are very magical. What I'm saying might be hard to hear, but it's just the way it is. He who touches pitch shall be defiled. So everyone knows now; just look at the evaluations in the comment section of the CCP rogue dictator, and you'll know; there's really no other way. This rogue dictator's brainwashing of the citizens of this country has been tragically deep.

So if you truly want to live a happy life, it's not enough to just run away and escape the physical cage created for you by the Chinese Communist Party. If you want to live a happy life, you must also find a way to escape and change your way of thinking, to escape the mental cage created for you by the Chinese Communist Party.

Everyone must remember, there's really no other way, really no other way. At the very least, learn to focus on the matter itself when discussing something in the future. Don't talk about other related things that have nothing to do with the matter.

It's just the water army, as I told you just now. You can see that I am under a lot of attention. You didn't know, they are attacking me—didn't I tell you that Dubai wants me dead or something?

To be direct with everyone, I'm going to Dubai on Tuesday. I'm going to Dubai next Tuesday to handle the US stock investment matters that many of you entrusted to me. I couldn't find the person, so this time I'm going to find them. I introduced this matter and will help everyone get it done. Just letting you know. So you can keep thinking—didn't I not get hit to death last time? You can try again to see if you can hit me to death, okay?

Since you want to treat me like that every day, you can just keep trying. I'm right here for you to try.

Talking about this, there's no other way; presenting facts and reasoning has hurt too many people. So it's all personal attacks, a flood of personal attacks. As for whether the content I speak about has problems, no one ever dares to say.

But I hope that those of us who, like me, want to live a happy and joyful life, do not have such habits. Such habits, especially if you truly have a good life in the future, will cause many problems.

Alright, today's theme: In the first five months of 2026, did the people of the CCP state feel the cold?

Whether they felt the cold or not is very important. Because last year, if you asked many people how they felt, it was just like the first year of the pandemic lockdowns; everyone felt nothing. The physical sensation is delayed.

Now? According to official data from the CCP government, in the first five months of 2026, retail sales of passenger cars decreased by 19% year-on-year, and in May alone, it decreased by 20% year-on-year.

Four words: unprecedented. How many times have I said these four words this year? Unprecedentedly bad.

This data is the only time in nearly 30 years of CCP state statistical data that a double-digit year-on-year decline has occurred. Even compared to the three-year pandemic period when the whole country was locked down, the year-on-year decline in national passenger car retail sales was only a single digit. Currently, from January to May, every single month, the CCP state's passenger car retail sales have decreased by double digits year-on-year; every single month.

There is a very important premise here: this year is the starting year of the 15th Five-Year Plan. And the 15th Five-Year Plan confirms the only core economic pillar for the future of the country: expanding domestic demand and increasing consumption. In such a year, look at how miserable the automotive industry is.

I've mentioned that the automotive data is the worst data in nearly 30 years of statistical data. Under what premise did this worst data appear? It is that in nearly 30 years of CCP state statistical data, these five months have been the five months with the largest average price reduction in the retail market for passenger cars across the entire country.

How much did the price drop? In February of this year, the automotive industry price behavior compliance guidelines issued by the CCP government's regulatory departments did not stop the continuous decline in retail prices of major automotive enterprises across the country. So the current situation is that most car companies in the CCP state are selling cars at a loss. Even when regulatory departments shouted for them to stop and not to sell at a loss, they couldn't stop it.

Despite such price cuts, sales figures still showed an unprecedented decline. An unprecedented price war, and then the terminal demand in the car market showed an unprecedented downward trend. During the three years of the pandemic, when stores were closed, roads were cut off, and people couldn't leave their homes, it wasn't even this miserable.

If cars are not doing well, what about real estate? It has been continuously declining. From January to April this year, second-hand home prices in 70 cities nationwide continued to fall year-on-year, with first-tier cities falling 6.8% year-on-year, second-tier cities falling 5.9% year-on-year, and third-tier cities falling 6.3% year-on-year. New home sales area decreased by 10.2% year-on-year, sales volume decreased by 14.6% year-on-year, and residential sales volume decreased by 15.7% year-on-year.

If real estate is not doing well, let's look at smartphones. From January to March, sales volume decreased by 18.7% year-on-year, in April it decreased by 11% year-on-year, and during the May Day long holiday, sales volume decreased by 16% year-on-year. All double digits, scary, right?

Then let's look at large household appliances and audio equipment. In April, it decreased by 15.1% year-on-year, double digits. What about furniture? Furniture retail sales in April decreased by 10.4% year-on-year, still double digits. Decoration, renovation, and building materials? In April, it decreased by 1

3.8%, still double digits. All data from the National Bureau of Statistics.

This is the opening year of the CCP's fifteenth five-year plan. After confirming the elevation of consumption as the sole economic pillar, this is the performance of this economic pillar for everyone: real estate continues to decline, car retail has an unprecedented double-digit decline, mobile phone retail has an unprecedented double-digit decline, home appliances like air conditioners and audio equipment have an unprecedented double-digit decline, furniture has an unprecedented decline, and building materials and decoration have a double-digit decline.

This is the specific performance in the first four to five months of this year. Coupled with the analysis of China's social financing data we discussed earlier, think about it, the CCP's economy is not just declining, it is collapsing across the board.

This is different from 2025, and different from the first and third years of the pandemic. Why did the White Paper Revolution eventually occur? If in 2025, many CCP citizens could still hold on before such a large decline, and had not yet felt that the Chinese economy was entering a cold winter, and had not yet felt the cold. Then I believe that in the first four to five months of 2026, most CCP citizens who did not feel the cold last year should now be starting to feel a distinct cold.

This major trend, in the second half of the year, foreign trade exports will once again face encirclement and suppression from a large number of countries and regions. Let's see how quickly the cold will come.

This encirclement and suppression is not just from countries like Japan and the US, or Europe. You may know that Vietnam recently fined Xiaomi mobile phones. The amount is not important, but three very important issues led to the fine.

First, personal data usage issues. Xiaomi did not provide consumers with sufficient and clear choices, so consumers' personal information was used for advertising and marketing. You buy a Xiaomi phone, and when you use it, ads pop up, and you haven't given consumers the option to skip ads, so you pop up ads, which is a violation.

Second, market promotion issues. When using influencers and commercial opinion leaders for commercial promotion, it was not fully disclosed that the content was paid promotion or sponsored content. You find local influencers and opinion leaders to promote Xiaomi phones, but these influencers and opinion leaders did not clearly tell everyone that I was paid to do this advertisement, making it seem like I was using a Xiaomi phone myself, implying endorsement. This is not allowed, it is a violation, and it is illegal.

Third, consumer transaction terms. In the standard contracts or transaction terms provided by Xiaomi to users, there are provisions prohibited by Vietnamese law that harm or restrict consumer rights.

The penalty clause is a deadline for rectification, otherwise more severe penalties will be faced.

When I talk about these things, you know that in China, you face them every day. But it's not important. All Chinese electronics manufacturers that export products to end-users face this. The key is how can you change? If export products are not changed, this is the trend.

The penalties for these things first originated in Europe, then spread to the United States, and now have reached Asia. Not Japan and South Korea, but even Vietnam has started to do this. However, if the soft advertisements placed in Xiaomi phones are removed, and influencers clearly state that they are paid advertisements when promoting, then Xiaomi's sales will drop significantly, and operating costs will increase substantially.

If they don't change, they will face severe penalties and may not be able to export. If they change, the profit margin itself is already gone. What to do?

Foreign trade exports, and this kind of encirclement and suppression based on laws and regulations, you just watch how severe it will be in the second half of this year.

This time at the Shangri-La Dialogue, held in Singapore, the main core issue discussed was the CCP's foreign trade exports, which we call unlimited warfare or infiltration warfare, and the greatest distress it brings to the world. A united front is needed to deal with the CCP. There's no other way, this is how it is now.

If you don't feel the cold in the economic entities, you can look at the cold brought by the virtual economy.

Also this month, you know that a major event this month is that one of the CCP's largest private wealth management companies, Yixin, do some people know Tang Ning's Yixin? It is now basically confirmed to be on the verge of collapse. Starting with its fixed-income products, a large number of products have stopped paying out on a large scale. Market estimates suggest that the amount of funds involved may exceed 50 billion RMB, with a customer base of 100,000 people or more, 200,000, 300,000, in the hundreds of thousands.

We know that when Evergrande Wealth collapsed before, Evergrande was not a wealth management company, but a real estate company. Evergrande Wealth's customers were all drawn in by Evergrande Real Estate. The collapse was, after all, related to real estate. When Zhongzhi Group collapsed, there were political reasons. Zhongzhi had full financial licenses, using trusts, insurance, and various financial companies. The political reasons were the result of a lack of political protection and coordination of resources, with distinct political colors. So people were not sensitive.

Yixin is different. Yixin is the most professional private investment and wealth management company in China, an absolute leading enterprise. In this field, if others collapse, to put it bluntly, many people might think that Noah's collapse would not affect Yixin. In people's perception, this should be the most stable, least leveraged, highest insurance coefficient, and almost the least likely to collapse investment and wealth management company in China.

So what does Yixin's collapse indicate? It means that as the CCP's economy rapidly declines, the assets invested in are depreciating in large quantities, and the liquidity of these depreciated assets is becoming increasingly poor. Therefore, when even Yixin begins to collapse, this effect will inevitably erupt in almost all Chinese private explicit or implicit wealth management companies.

Explicit ones are understood, they have licenses. What about implicit ones? The fundraising activities in various places in China, such as tea tickets, purple clay pot tickets, etc., are now becoming apparent. It has reached this point, with such a powerful professional system and such low leverage, it is collapsing, what about these companies?

So what is the most important signal of Yixin's collapse? It is in the stage of being about to fall but not yet fallen, but it will definitely fall. Rest assured, all private explicit or implicit wealth management institutions in the CCP's country should be preparing to flee, preparing to flee. Unless they are fools. No joke, including Noah, should be preparing to flee. No private wealth management company in the People's Republic of China should believe that it has the ability or the means to survive until the spring flowers bloom. Impossible.

Moreover, Yixin's problem is just a small corner of the hidden problems in the CCP's entire financial sector. It is just a private investment and wealth management company with very low leverage. Banks, stock markets, bond markets, and many other financial sectors have much higher leverage than companies like Yixin. So now, as you know, companies like this robot company, such a bad company, are listed, and even the primary market cannot sell them. Without relevant policies, it's all fake.

Okay, due to time constraints, I won't go into detail.

If you haven't felt the cold in the economy and finance, then the shackles the CCP has placed on everyone in the first half of the year, haven't they made you feel the cold?

I'm not talking about exploitation and harvesting leeks, that's already infinite, one policy after another. What are shackles? National Security Law, Anti-Espionage Law, Data Security Law, Personal Information Protection Law, Cyber Identity Card, strict exit-entry management system, etc., are all national-level methods the CCP is increasingly adding to each citizen.

Now, if you go abroad, you'll be treated as a spy, whether you want to or not. If these, coupled with the policies we've discussed, haven't made you feel the cold, then I don't need to continue, because I am truly incapable of waking up those who pretend to be asleep.

Therefore, the reaction of the CCP's citizens must be related to how they feel the cold. In 2025, there was none, but in 2026, feedback will definitely start to appear soon. Cold is still the first stage, and perhaps in the second half of the year, many people will start to shiver with cold and feel pain.

Why can we see a large number of government reactions in the first half of 2026? Look at the current policy news, look at what's left of the news headlines, look at the news headlines in various regions, are there any major events? Look at the favorable policies issued by the government, what are the comments below.

We have already clearly felt that in 2026, the attitude of CCP citizens towards all government information has undergone a huge change compared to 2025. This only shows that these people are just beginning to feel the cold, so their attitudes have changed.

When it gets colder and they start to shiver and feel pain, their attitudes will undergo another huge change.

Now, the CCP citizens are completely different from their state during the pandemic. Some people say that CCP citizens did not resist during the pandemic. Do you all know that many CCP citizens saw hope during the pandemic? Many people were holding onto the belief that after the pandemic, there would be more things to do, better things. So when there is hope, according to the situation of CCP citizens, they can endure meekly for the sake of future hope.

What's different now? In the years since the pandemic, almost all Chinese citizens should now have completely lost hope, seeing no hope, and believing that the future is doomed. When they are frozen and shivering, according to the habits of CCP citizens, will they stay put honestly, or will they do something? That's completely different.

So what we see now, some people say that yesterday, for example, the explosion of a gas tank in Benxi, and some people died. What are these situations? Think about it yourself. This kind of situation will become more and more common in the future.

When there is hope and when there is no hope, when facing the cold, the attitude reflected by CCP citizens is completely different. Just wait and see, let's watch, watch their performance, below

Then you'll know everything.

If you have any questions, let's chat for a bit; I have to do that thing today. I've had a lot going on these past few days, and I'm going to Dubai next Tuesday, so I won't be able to livestream. Okay, I can only stream once next week, on Friday. Sunday's stream is unaffected, as I'm still in the UK, still in London, so it's unaffected. Next Tuesday will be affected, but we'll livestream on Friday.

That's a Buddhist amulet in the top left corner; I have some of my own small beliefs. It's not that you should follow my opinion and not get married, it's not that parents are allocating land; let's talk about this on Sunday. You have to have some benefit, you live for yourself. You want to be happy and blissful; if doing something provides no benefit, would people do it?

Commercial space stocks? You're still buying stocks? You're quite something, quite bold. I can only say bold, and by the way, let me give you a phrase: the ignorant are fearless. Insiders see the method, outsiders see the excitement.

The Sunny Pillar hasn't been officially sold yet. Once the Sunny Pillar is officially on sale, I'll definitely bring it to show off to everyone. This is a matter of great achievement for me.

Gold is the market below. Regarding the Fed's possible interest rate hike after the chairman is replaced, there are many troubles. Because it hasn't happened yet, if the Fed really does raise interest rates, I'll tell everyone how it relates to and affects our lives.

Does working and settling in Thailand count? Of course it does, don't stay in the CCP's China. Do you understand? Don't stay in the CCP's China now. I'll tell you one thing: just go to a country where you can use Google. Got it? At least a country where you can use Google, you'll know that the news in that country is free, and you can use Google. You'll be able to use many related information apps. At least the news in that country is free, meaning the people of that country have free space, and can hear the real things.

I don't know about Vietnam, I'm not sure if Google can be used there. But Vietnam's current legal system is much harsher than the CCP's China. That is, the law is showing a development towards the separation of powers, and everyone must abide by the law.

If you took out a 600,000 loan and wiped it, do you still have to pay it back? You don't have to now anyway. Regardless of the CCP's situation, you don't have to now.

Hong Kong is just another mirror of the CCP's China. Okay.

I'm fine. I've lived this long, and I've told everyone, I only have one life, and I've put it on the line. Everyone has their own pursuits, their own ideas.

During this time, I've been handling some aftermath issues. Many listeners know that Chinese people themselves can get trapped in this. So I have to slowly handle many aftermath issues, and I'm spending this time urgently handling them.

Google has no company in the CCP's China; it's that the CCP's China doesn't allow the use of Google. The laws of the CCP's China don't allow you to climb the wall, and don't allow you to see these things.

Taiwan is great, Taiwan is a great country. Isn't Taiwan great? Try having a child in Taiwan; now in Taiwan, there are subsidies for having children, subsidies are coming immediately. In Taiwan, at least if you have a child, from the time the child grows up, the state gives you hundreds of thousands of RMB for free. The Republic of China gives it for free. From childhood to adulthood, do you think that's happy? Is every family happy? If you have two or three children, your family life will be great.

Which one is worth 'running' to, Germany or Japan? I don't know, it depends on your personal situation. You'll only know once your personal situation is determined.

If you don't pay the property management fee, they will punish you. See if they will punish you.

Land cannot be turned into cash, that's the problem I've been telling everyone. I don't even know how you can turn land assets into cash now. So when many people say land assets turn into cash, I just don't know.

When working overseas, you must have a foreign bank card, that's so much better. If you could use a foreign bank card, how great would that be. ICBC overseas, I don't know about that. In my eyes, I've never used a domestic card overseas.

Chinese women going to Vietnam to find men? Oh, I really don't know. Without investigation and research, I have no right to speak.

When will I see hope? You'll see hope once you run out. Study English well. Young people, just 27 years old, study English well, keep it up. Your life hasn't even started yet. I'm 60, I'm finished, at least one full cycle. I wouldn't be considered dying young if I died, I've lived one full cycle, almost 60. You haven't even started, 27 years old, buddy, keep it up, study hard, keep it up.

Exchange for US dollars, exchange for Bitcoin. I've never supported Bitcoin. Exchange for US dollars, or USDT, USDC. That's how I've always told everyone.

Livestreams have increased recently. I originally only streamed once on Fridays, and for over half a year I only streamed on Fridays. Later, I added one on Tuesdays. Because it was a failure, working with Chinese people, oh boy. The companies I open now are all collaborations with foreigners. Chinese people are really a failure, I won't talk about this anymore.

The Chinese Communist Party's brainwashing ability is very strong; what it changes is not everyone's pursuits, it's not about whether you want to oppose the Chinese Communist Party. It's that the Chinese Communist Party has given everyone very bad thinking habits. Like the habits I just mentioned, these habits make it very hard to collaborate in practice, very hard to collaborate.

How great it would be if the internet weren't restricted. Recently during June 4th, the Chinese Communist Party won't even let you type those characters for a real event.

So that's it for today. Old habit, if you have questions, leave me a message or write an email, okay? That's all for today. We'll see each other next Friday, next Friday, as Tuesday's stream is cancelled. Okay. Thank you everyone, next time I'll chat with you from Dubai. Thank you everyone, thank you.

I wish the friends at home to sleep soundly, and the friends overseas to stay awake. Then thank you all for listening to my chat, okay? Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone.
