They say there are bizarre things every year, but this year is "extra" bizarre. What kind of shocking news has come out this time? Deng Yuwen, a commentator and former editor of "Study Times," the official newspaper of the Central Party School of the CCP, broke some earth-shattering news. He claimed that Zhang Shengmin sat in the host's chair and, with a straight face, told a conference room with only himself in it that the meeting was now officially in session. Could it really be that absurd? If you don't believe it, there is official confirmation, and more official confirmation. According to news today from the party media China News Service, the Central Military Commission held a collective study session on the 6th, with the content being "Xi Jinping's Thought on Party Building." Central Military Commission Vice Chairman Zhang Shengmin presided over and spoke at the meeting. Wait, it didn't say he was alone, would they have the nerve to say that? Currently, the only two members of the 20th Central Military Commission actually in office and performing their duties are Chairman Xi Jinping and Vice Chairman Zhang Shengmin. Zhang Shengmin sat on the podium, leading Xi Jinping, who was sitting below, to study Xi Jinping's Thought on Party Building together. Do you think such an arrangement is appropriate? It's not, and Zhang Shengmin wouldn't dare do that either. So, the meeting had to be held, but how? Zhang Shengmin had to sit in the host's chair and, with a straight face, tell a conference room with only himself in it that "we (I) are now officially in session." I can't hold it together anymore. They had to leave two guards at the door, forbidding anyone from entering, witnessing the absurd scene and unable to take it. They especially had to stop the cameramen from the disaster-prone TV station, as it would be easy to discover Zhang Shengmin sitting alone on the podium, scrolling through short videos and laughing the whole time, not reading the script or studying at all. This is like eating steamed buns on a rainy day—just killing time. Xi Jinping and the Xi Office turned on the monitor and were stunned. What was this wicked Zhang Shengmin looking at on his phone and laughing about? Was he scrolling through "The Pig-Worshipping Text"? Oh no, the "Steamed Bun" (Xi) was monitoring the whole thing, and Zhang Shengmin forgot about that. He's in trouble.

Note that subscription is free. Press the subscribe button and you can harvest laughter endlessly. Now, to pick up where we left off and tell you about Liu Zhuo, old Xi is driven almost crazy with worry by this ruined version of the CCP Central Committee—a stroke-inducing kind of worry. As we said last time, this time the two newly promoted generals, Zhang Shuguang and Wang Gang, one carrying a bow and the other bearing a golden sword, were selected by Baozi strictly according to the Tui Bei Tu, making it convenient for historical figures to catch old Xi in a trap. Tea friends know that right now, there are only four active-duty generals left in the Chinese Communist Party. With Zhang Shuguang and Wang Gang, that makes six. The next CCP Central Committee can only pick the tallest among dwarves from these few, so if these two can successfully advance into the Central Committee, that would be perfect. Perfect how? Zhang Shuguang carrying a bow replaces Zhang Youxia carrying a bow, and Wang Gang bearing a golden sword replaces Liu Zhenli bearing a golden sword. Everything is complete. No matter how much you, Baozi, stir up trouble, the Tui Bei Tu has already drawn up your list. Where are you going to run? Do not think of this as metaphysical joking; the backgrounds of Zhang Shuguang and Wang Gang are truly extraordinary. How are they extraordinary? Neither comes from Xi's military faction; instead, they come from the subordinates of Hu Jintao and Zhang Yang, a general executed by old Xi. Wait, Hu Jintao's people are back in power? You heard it right. The newly appointed Air Force Commander Wang Gang is a subordinate of Zheng Liang, a major general heavily trusted back then by Hu Jintao. Back in the day, Zheng Liang headed the premier Air Force "First Air Division," and Wang Gang was a core backbone. Oh, Old Hu's person? Yes. The other one is also exceptionally formidable: Zhang Shuguang, a former subordinate of Jiang the Toad's capable underling Zhang Yang, who was forced to commit suicide by Xi Jinping. Toad's person? Wait, then didn't he get implicated by Zhang Yang? At the time, there was indeed a risk, and he almost got swept up, but this guy has a quick mind. He defected to the current Central Committee Military Commission Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zhang Shengmin, becoming Zhang Shengmin's capable enforcer in taking down nine generals from Xi's faction. Afterwards, merit was rewarded, good news came from the delivery room, he was promoted, completely impossible to guard against. The one who defected to Zhang Shengmin caused the death of Xi Baozi's people, and then old Xi still had to confer the rank of "General" upon him. By the way, meaning that the CCP's so-called "Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces" Xi Jinping, whether voluntarily or forced by circumstances to cut off his tail to survive, has in any case wiped out his own direct lineage and is now forced to accept "one from Hu's faction and one from Jiang's old guard" taking charge of the Air Force and the Discipline Inspection Commission. How heartless and thick-skinned does one have to be to still eat with gusto? Baozi's massive purge washed the Central Committee into an "empty nest," thinking he could build a nest to attract phoenixes, but in the end, it resulted in obediently handing the gun back to his political rivals, completely knocking him out. Baozi tossed and turned through sixty-three tricks, and once again bravely marched forward toward the loss of military power.

Well, it's really hard to say. Rumors have already spread that nowadays, the one truly managing the daily administration and substantive power of the military hub is not the Military Commission Chairman's Office in the August 1 Building. Then who is it? It's a special office right next to it. Yes, the person sitting in command inside is someone you could never guess. Rumors say it is none of other than General Liu Yuan, the former CCP second-in-command and son of State President Liu Shaoqi, who was forced into retirement a few years ago. Liu Yuan is back on the scene? Does this even let old Xi live? Informants in the streets remind everyone to check all photos and videos of General Liu Yuan appearing publicly from last year to this year: without exception, he is in crisp military uniform. He holds a military post, you could understand it that way. But wait, you cannot rule out another understanding, another possibility. The current rule in the CCP's military and political officialdom is that to enter the highest military command center, the August 1 Building, whether to work or attend meetings, wearing a military uniform is mandatory; there are regulations. Therefore, independent political commentator Jiang Feng believes that Liu Yuan's high-profile appearances in military uniform over the past two years have only one explanation: military elders and princelings have jointly intervened, inviting Liu Yuan out of retirement to take charge of the overall situation and stabilize military morale. With Liu Yuan in charge of the military, would Baozi be willing? This touches upon Xi Jinping's dilemma of riding a tiger. The military confidants he originally promoted were cleaned out like dumplings being dumped into a pot, and Xi has no time to cultivate new confidants, so he can only pick the tallest among dwarves and make do with whoever is usable for the time being. Thus, a crooked-headed bear Xi Jinping plus a semi-crippled Zhang Shengmin formed a vase-like Military Commission duo with only signing rights, document-issuing rights, and slogan-shouting rights, utterly incapable of substantively commanding the army. That is indeed the reality. From April to June, over two months of intensive training for military heads across theater commands seemed stern and menacing, with everyone supposedly passing the test, and the tricky problem of making a clean break with Zhang Youxia had to be resolved. Yet when the National People's Congress convened, Zhang Youxia's status as an NPC deputy still could not be stripped away. So later, didn't that iconic scene happen? At that so-called "People First" July 1st concert held by the CCP at the Beijing Great Hall on the evening of June 29, Xi Jinping was surrounded front, back, left, and right by a sea of tall, mighty, murderous-looking men in black bodyguards, staring intently at all the officials in the venue. Upstairs, there were even unidentified individuals—who knows if they were snipers arranged by Liu Yuan—ready to rat-tat-tat at any moment. General Liu Yuan urgently expressed: Can the little brothers and sisters on the streets please stop lifting the lid off our family's pot all the time? My dad has been dead for how long, and people all over the earth know Baozi holds grudges. I retired a long time ago, lying flat at home playing comatose, and you still say I came out to take charge of work. Think about my heart, can it take this?

It's completely twisted, let's have an emergency poll. Why do you think the Central Military Commission, with only Xi Jinping and Zhang Shengmin left, needs to hold a meeting to study Xi Jinping Thought? Here are the options: 1. Pretending the Central Military Commission is operating normally; 2. Fooling the grassroots military into aligning with Xi; 3. No one in the military is studying it, so Xi has to study himself; 4. Can't understand the crazy operations of the CCP bandits. Quickly type the number in the comments section. Tea friends...

You know, the CCP leader Xi Jinping and the former second-in-command Premier Li Keqiang can be described as a pair of mortal enemies, and the one responsible for the fatal blow was the narrow-minded Xi the Steamed Bun. Because they were rivals, many of their interactions were particularly intriguing. For example, Xi Jinping's famous saying, "Don't do such things, three feet above your head there are deities, you must have a sense of awe"—why doesn't he ask himself if he has any sense of awe? Li Keqiang's famous saying was, "People are acting and the heavens are watching, justice has eyes." This sentence really shares the same spirit as the Steamed Bun's "three feet above your head there are deities." What has become of the wheat-carrying guy's own golden quotes now? They have become a special prompt for Chinese people to commemorate Li Keqiang at any time. Talk about a boomerang, right? Many people may not know that July 3 was Li Keqiang's 71st posthumous birthday, Premier Li's birthday on July 3. It was circulated online that Li Keqiang's school record after being admitted to Peking University clearly shows his birthday is July 3. The Steamed Bun doesn't even have a real school record, a fake Tsinghua PhD. Three days ago on July 3, Chinese netizens mourning Li Keqiang, while recalling and investigating Li Keqiang's death by swimming orchestrated by Xi Jinping, once again dug up a 21-second old video. What was in it? During the so-called national anti-epidemic commendation meeting in 2020, Xi Jinping made desperate reading errors in his speech, and Li Keqiang, sitting right next to him, suddenly let out a thunderous, low, and clear "cough." A Peking University graduate gave the Tsinghua primary school PhD a live reminder about mispronounced characters, creating an extremely awkward moment. At that time, all kinds of meritorious representative figures in white hazmat suits were sitting down there. Old Xi was also deeply unlucky, truly taking the three years of turmoil as his own political achievement, and bragging about the "victory of the anti-epidemic war" for nearly an hour and a half. The specific work was done by Li Keqiang, while he was responsible for taking the credit. As a result, Old Xi got high on his own supply, losing control of his mouth, and various misreadings and slips of the tongue began again. He mispronounced "special" (tewu) as "techu," "confuse" (hunxiao) as "hunxiaoyao," and "annihilate" (jianmie) as "qianmie." Li Keqiang could no longer endure it and let out a cough from the depths of his soul. At first glance, it looked like he wanted to clear his throat, but he didn't dare to make a loud sound, and his conflicted expression was particularly unnatural. After the dry cough, Li Keqiang quickly lowered his head, absent-mindedly flipping through the documents in his hand, and then looked up, secretly glancing at the camera in the direction of the podium. It was too awkward; the awkwardness of the atmosphere at the scene and the Steamed Bun's subsequent anger and embarrassment made people feel second-hand embarrassment just looking at it. The Steamed Bun is truly uncultured, and having Li Keqiang accompany him is truly infuriating. If it were just misreading characters, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the crucial point is that Li Keqiang was so suppressed even when coughing. His body language showed that he no longer had any opportunity to tell Xi Jinping the truth, because telling the truth certainly brings no good consequences, since the Steamed Bun has already driven the Chinese state into collapse through his commands. Therefore, netizens said, "I've watched this many times, and every time I wonder, what was Keqiang thinking at that moment? Is this why he had to be killed? Were the consequences really that serious?" Another person said, "Watching Premier Li's suppressed dry cough, I cried. Not because that 'cough' was so tragic, but because in this regime, even the dignified premier of a country was forced to learn silence. It's heartbreaking." You are not allowed to tell the truth, and continuing to lie is too sickening; if you dare to show disgust, someone will report you. And they really report—there are too many of Old Xi's spies within the party. The Steamed Bun was sweating profusely from reading his manuscript and genuinely didn't hear Old Li cough. As a result, a crowd of spies all rushed over to tell tales: "General Secretary, something terrible has happened. You read the wrong characters, and Li Keqiang was coughing like crazy, handing knives to the onlookers and rebels." Old Xi frowned and said, "Say that again, why did Old Li cough?" The Steamed Bun remembered that saying: "Those who bring you tales are the gossips themselves; how do you know Old Li was coughing at my misreadings? Does that mean you also think I misread characters?" Talk about lifting a rock only to drop it on your own feet; this matter couldn't even be brought up. That said, could the Steamed Bun not know that he is a master of illiterate mistakes? Although he spat in the faces of the spies who snitched, he genuinely held a grudge in his heart. After having his minions analyze Li Keqiang's speech countless times and finding no misreadings, he became even more furious. "Old Li must be extremely familiar with the pronunciations, so his cough must have been coughing at my misreadings! Keqiang always wants to cough at朕!" He is really stubborn enough to carry 200 catties of mispronounced characters without changing shoulders. One netizen said, "A talented scholar who graduated from Tsinghua University is acting out the hardest play every day." Another netizen replied, "Keqiang has it even harder. It's truly terrifying to be uncultured. How did I end up with such a moron, a stupid and evil piece of work, acting as my top sugar daddy?" The Steamed Bun weakly expressed, "I'll just take the easy way out. Upon investigation, comrade Li Keqiang passed away from acute embarrassment while swimming." Saying too much brings tears to one's eyes. In the party's adverse selection process, Li Keqiang, who still retained his human nature, was eliminated simply because he stated that "600 million Chinese people have a monthly income of less than 1,000 yuan," because he said "people are acting and the heavens are watching, justice has eyes" which made Old Xi feel uneasy and constantly look up at the sky, because he used his middle finger to oppose the "Hong Kong National Security Law" voted on to retaliate against Hong Kong's Causeway Bay Bookstore, and because while strolling through the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, when locals shouted "Hello, Premier," Keqiang smiled and waved, shattering over 10,000 pots of vinegar belonging to Xi the Steamed Bun. The Steamed Bun was completely enraged to the point of suffering a cerebral stroke, directly leading to Li Keqiang's death by swimming in Shanghai, and the cremation of his body was so hasty that it practically shouted "the stolen goods are right here" (suiciding a 200-catty burden).

I saw a Beijing netizen say that on July 3rd, the anniversary of Li Keqiang's birth, Beijing reached a high temperature of 38 degrees Celsius, and then suddenly, large hailstones fell at night. Some were as big as eggs, smashing through car windshields. In the early morning, there was thunder and lightning, and several Beijing citizens said they heard the mysterious voice of a child, yet could not see anyone. Could you please stop scaring us? That's not even the worst of it. Most importantly, dense purple lightning appeared in the Beijing night sky in the early morning; this is the fourth time purple lightning has appeared in a month. This is a big deal, Liu Zhuo. In Taoism, there is a saying that purple lightning is called the 'Zixiao Divine Thunder' (Purple Heaven Divine Thunder), which is the highest form of punitive thunder. It seems that Li Keqiang's 'dry cough' from the afterlife has been transmitted here, to fulfill the saying that 'man acts and heaven watches.' That remark by the Premier was not in vain; heaven has strange sounds and the earth has echoes. The days of the Steamed Bun (Xi Jinping) are numbered, and the final reckoning is coming soon. The leeks and cattle-horses (the common people) expressed with longing, 'Hurry up, we can't wait any longer.'

Really soon, today, July 6, a netizen on the X platform posted a photo saying they found a rare coin called “Jinping Tongbao” (流通宝 - currency of the Jinping era) at an antique market. It is so precious, bearing witness to an absurd history. Because it is linked to that pig, it will surely be worth a fortune after years of collection. Jinping Tongbao—it seems this thing really exists, and this parody is not a one-off; at least good things come in pairs. Last time, the antique appraisal influencer “Tingquan Jianbao” was scared out of his wits, hastily shutting down his live-streaming window with lightning speed and zero preparation. You have to hand it to Brother Quan, though: in an emergency, one second he was leisurely chatting, and the next second he was in a panic, closing the window at supersonic speed to save his life. This instantly created a classic meme for the new era of Xi the Steamed Bun. This goes to show the state of freedom of speech in the Land of Wonders. Someone used face-swapping technology to put a picture of Xi the Steamed Bun's face onto Brother Quan before his facial expression changed, and then joked that Brother Quan showed his true colors the moment he saw Jinping Tongbao. Isn't that shocking? There are plenty of shocking things. This proves that while the Party is utterly useless at doing anything right, when it comes to scamming people, tricking people, and hoodwinking the leeks, it is armed to the teeth and precise down to the last detail. The disaster-stricken CCTV headquarters' big-pants building basically says, am I looking cute as a dog of the Party? Not just one dog, but many dogs. Ah, the CCP's “Jinritoutiao” published an article, and the Party's mouthpiece “Reference News”, exported from abroad and sold back domestically, had a front-page headline yesterday claiming that a pessimistic atmosphere was hanging over the US Independence Day, that Americans' confidence in the country's future had plummeted, and that the pessimism index was soaring. In short, it's doomed. Speaking of which, there's another article right below it: “The US is Mired in the Quagmire of Social Cleavage and Trust Crisis,” blah blah blah, utterly nauseating. Chinese netizens saw this and got riled up, flooding the comments section—it's about to roll over. Netizens joked, I actually thought this was a 1966 newspaper; zoomed in and saw it's 2026, and it's still the exact same flavor. Another asked if the ancestral secret recipe editor-in-chief has literally not changed since 1949—what an old monster. Someone else asked why the US Independence Day doesn't require a Beijing Entry Permit? The American imperialists have it so miserable, walking downhill for 77 years, and the longest road in the world still hasn't reached its end. Another netizen raised a soulful question: what kind of people actually read this kind of newspaper? Aren't you afraid of getting cancer from heavy metal poisoning?

Don't bother asking, let's just show the Little Pinks of the Steamed Bun state the decaying scenery of the United States of America, which has been going downhill for 250 years. Content warning ahead, Little Pinks, it's time for your heart to break. When you look on the overseas social platform X at the US 250th Independence Day, you see overwhelming fireworks shows, drone military aircraft displays in the sky, grand parades of classic sailing ships, and even parkour. US President Trump braved a storm to deliver two stunning speeches. In 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, grand independence celebrations and fireworks shows the largest in history were held across the country on July 4, with record-breaking massive fireworks displays staged in Washington, D.C., New York, and other cities that night. In the city of the world, New York, the annual Macy's Independence Day fireworks show simultaneously kicked off magnificent pyrotechnic displays launched from firing sites along both the East River and the Hudson River. Li Zheng was deeply honored to witness the Hudson River fireworks show in person; the ones on the East River were the most spectacular, especially the fireworks over the Brooklyn Bridge, which were simply so gorgeous they could make you cry. Fireworks, no matter how pretty, were not as shocking as President Trump's speeches. In his two speeches at Mount Rushmore and the National Mall, Trump looked back at US history and paid tribute to the Founding Fathers and veterans, praising the US flag as “the symbol of the most extraordinary, remarkable, and incredible nation that has ever existed on Earth,” and describing the US as “the land of the free.” For Chinese people, one of the most important takeaways from President Trump's speech was his statement that communism is a tumor and a cancer, and that this threat must be stopped immediately as soon as it appears, or even before it begins, and must be excised as quickly as possible. Trump said that the communist system runs counter to the American system, that the communist system has never succeeded anywhere, and that our warriors fighting communism on battlefields around the world are certainly not doing so to allow this scourge to make a comeback within the US. The most deafening voice of 2026 has appeared. This is not just empty rhetoric, but a rock-solid determination, much like the process of President Trump being blocked by a storm, delayed, yet pressing on through wind and rain to deliver his speech. Although eradicating the communist tumor is fraught with bumps and mud, BUT, we must persevere, and we will surely usher in the victory when the clouds part and the fog clears.
