Xi Jinping Publishes Sudden Article in Qiushi Magazine! A Cultural Revolution-Style Purge of All Chinese Communist Party Officials,

In the program, Hu Liren analyzed that Xi Jinping's recent article published in the journal Qiushi aims to conduct a comprehensive purge of officials within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), with his tightening of power resembling the great purges of the Cultural Revolution. At the same time, the article explores the CCP's long-term surveillance of officials, the plundering of wealth, as well as recent political trends at home and abroad, the overseas Chinese community, and the current state of the democracy movement.

Alright, the first live stream of the day has begun. Yesterday, or rather today, Xi Jinping suddenly published an article in the journal Qiushi. Actually, the content is very, very simple; it is about tightening the ideology of all party members and purging what they call...

It is about unifying thought, and then insisting on the unified leadership of the Central Committee, which is to declare his own sovereignty and his power. And he also wrote about putting power into a cage. I think everyone is very clear about this. So, Xi Jinping actually sent a signal last year, which was in the self-inspection, he sent a signal that there would be a purge within the party. So, from last year until now, it has not stopped, it has not stopped. Uh, a few years ago, probably about ten years ago, before I came to the United States.

I already understood that at that time, Xi Jinping, back in 2018 or 2016, during his first term, had already used high-tech means to monitor all these officials. Those officials at that time started from the deputy division level; section-level officials were not yet involved.

It went from deputy division level to division level, and then up to deputy bureau level and bureau level, just going all the way up to the provincial level, deputy provincial and full provincial, that was the route. At that time, the news that came out from the Shanghai government was that all the phones of their deputy division-level cadres were being monitored.

Not long after Xi Jinping came to power, everyone was issued a domestic mobile phone, a domestic phone that seemed to be a Huawei phone. I remember that every government official was issued a Huawei phone. There was software inside this Huawei phone. At that time, many people were using Apple, because before Xi Jinping, there was no such rule within the Communist Party that Apple phones could not be used.

So, what was the reason he gave at the time? It was a very simple reason, meaning that Apple phones are American, and when you make calls or send messages on an Apple phone, some government-related things might be intercepted by the United States, that there is eavesdropping software. In fact, it is a thief crying "stop thief"; Apple would never do such a thing, right? Um, so at that time, in order to monitor these officials, to monitor these officials, they used the Huawei phones; at that time, they were issued Huawei, it was Huawei.

I have several friends who carry two mobile phones. I asked them, "Do you both use two phones?" They said that one phone is almost never used anymore; they just use this one as a work phone, and the other one is for... well. By that time, they were already being monitored. The monitoring mainly focused on two aspects: one was ideological, meaning politically, who are you in contact with? Who are you chatting with? It's different now. Back then, because cloud technology had already emerged, they...

They set up a dedicated cloud server, probably, to wiretap the phones of all these officials, and then uploaded all this information and data to the cloud, to the cloud server. So, all these surveillance technologies are a result of technological development. Look at China's technological development; it hasn't served the common people. What has it served? It has served the CCP's surveillance agencies, allowing the common people to be monitored as well, right?

Under these circumstances, Xi Jinping has actually already grasped a lot of information about mid-to-high-level officials within the government, including their family assets, their family assets. I once said, a long time ago, that Xi Jinping wanted to do two things. One thing is that he mainly wants to plunder the wealth of the entire nation. So.

There are two types of national wealth: one is in the hands of bosses, right? That is, in the hands of entrepreneurs. Once these entrepreneurs are harvested like leeks, that's one part. The second is the government. You see, when you come to the United States, you will know that the groups of people in the U.S. who truly have abnormal consumption—that is, consumption beyond normal levels—are two groups: one is the official-business class, and the other is the officials, the descendants of officials, right?

Including, look, including Los Angeles, including San Francisco, including Seattle, almost all those luxury homes were bought by these people. When they buy houses, they don't even talk about the price, they don't talk about the price at all. If they see a good one, they just buy it, because this money comes too easily to them. The amounts they deal with are all in the millions of RMB. I mean, millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of RMB in that place, just from the kickbacks received from negotiating a single project.

For example, if you get a big project and receive a kickback of several million, that is very little to them. Several million to an ordinary person—if you say seven million, that's equivalent to one million US dollars, right? If you're talking about tens of millions, that's incredible. If you have a project worth fifty million, that's at least seven or eight million US dollars. So the CCP is already filthy rich. I once said, I said our common people, the common people.

You go out to spend money, and you still have to bargain. In a Chinese vegetable market, you can tell if a country is wealthy by looking at people buying vegetables in the market. I often tell people, some say, "The Chinese people are very wealthy." What are the Chinese people doing? I said this decades ago: I will take you to the vegetable market, and you can take a look at how the common people live. The common people are like this, often like this: "How much is this vegetable per jin?" "Ah, three yuan per jin." "What? Why is it so expensive today? Can I buy it for two yuan? Two yuan?" You know, the common people in China are all like this.

In the end, everyone is actually tightening their belts to get by, everyone is bargaining, right? Everyone is living a very frugal life. But CCP officials are different. CCP officials are like this: "What about these mistresses, these second or third mistresses, right? These illegitimate children? How much is it to buy a car? Uh, buy a Ferrari? Several million, tens of millions, and just like that, it's gone!" The common people live lives worse than pigs and dogs.

So now, Xi Jinping, one thing is that he is mainly robbing those government officials, one is government officials, one is entrepreneurs, money from both sides. According to common sense, it is normal for the Communist Party to rob these officials of their money, but where is it abnormal? What's abnormal is that after this money is robbed, it actually becomes the Xi family's, it becomes the Xi family's. Xi Jinping is currently the most corrupt person in all of China, the most corrupt, right? Trillions of US dollars have been taken by him! He is like this now; before, the Communist Party's wealth was distributed among various...

This petty official, this is about common prosperity for everyone. As far as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is concerned, that Xi Jinping, he is not Deng Xiaoping, back then it was like that, right? Black cat or white cat, if it catches mice, it is a good cat. We let some people get rich first. Which people got rich first? They were all officials and those people, as well as some ordinary folks who knew how to do business. After they got rich, they widened the wealth gap between the rich and the poor. Widening the wealth gap is not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all. Look at capitalist countries, isn't the wealth gap widening? Look at how much money Elon Musk has, right? It isn't just widening, what will he do? He will create re-employment opportunities.

Right? Enterprises are getting bigger and bigger, and these people are the leaders. Suppose everyone in this country is equal, then there would be no bosses; there would be only one boss, which is the CCP, the Xi family dynasty. Right now, they are building the Xi family dynasty, so I have always been saying that what Xi Jinping is doing is building the Xi family dynasty. Ah, of course, his own little buddies, the people in his cabinet, they surely benefit too. You say the assets of Cai Qi's family, saying he got a few billion, that is too normal.

Xi Jinping is just using corruption, using corruption. What is he pursuing now? What is he pursuing today? The article published makes it very clear what Xi Jinping said: I want to completely sweep through and purge almost all CCP officials. I saw it today, everyone can go up and take a look, ah. Strict governance of the Party, strict governance of the Party, ah, this is strict governance of the Party. Of course, it was talked about before, but the strict governance of the Party being talked about now is different from the strict governance of the Party talked about before. Look at these past two days, in Chongqing, Huang Qifan, the former...

This former deputy party secretary of the municipal committee and mayor Huang Qifan was arrested, you know? In Chengdu, several people were arrested too. The former mayor of Chengdu is also being arrested, and was taken down. These past two days, arrests are happening everywhere: in Inner Mongolia, in the Northeast, all over the country. Now they are arresting from top to bottom, arresting one after another, arresting strings of people, ah, and pinning crimes on you in all kinds of ways. All CCP officials, as long as you had money in the past, if you are investigated now, look at the past, for example, when I was in China, I had...

Actually, there are many things I didn't dare to talk about, because I was in Shanghai, and I knew many officials in China who were in office, and to this day they are still in office. And these families of theirs, we people are all around the same age, about sixty years old. You can imagine, right? Everyone grew up playing together since we were kids; some of them are purely childhood friends. How much capital do they have in their hands? That is just us buddies. Outwardly, they claim to be honest officials, but in front of us buddies...

They wouldn't put up an act; they would just be straight about it. I have 12 houses in my hands, I have 20 houses in my hands—generally, they don't fake it. Everyone knows, even the kids and wives at home all know. Do you think these people would put up an act? They don't, and they can't put up an act, because we are decades-long friends after all. Many of them are in Shanghai, and many officials own a massive amount of real estate.

They own a massive amount of storefronts, and some are even commercial shops. Do you know where these shops come from? They all come from real estate developers. Back when buildings were being constructed, the good storefronts were all kept for them. What were they kept for? To sell to them at low prices, bribery, it's just bribery, right? Low interest, giving them a discount on the price, ah, and then handing it over. These people paid for them, the money was paid, according to normal transactions.

Ah, according to normal transactions, but there were discounts involved, ah, and the discounts were huge. For example, for this shop—storefronts in Shanghai, China used to be very expensive, ah—say a storefront normally cost 100,000 on the market, ah, but they might be sold to it for 30,000 or 50,000, and they could make a profit just by flipping it. But these people don't flip them; they find a relative to use as a front and register it in their name. There are white gloves, all these people have white gloves. Now Xi Jinping is going after all of this, so CCP officials—look at how many years of reform and opening up it has been, don't just look at ordinary people, ordinary people are going bankrupt one family after another, but CCP officials are also going bankrupt one family after another. In the end, where does this money go? It goes into the hands of the Xi family.

It goes into the hands of the Xi family. What Xi Jinping is doing right now is persisting in this. Everyone must not think, ah, that after these officials' money is taken by the Communist Party and Xi Jinping, this money will be distributed to ordinary people. It won't happen. Look at the ordinary people in China; up until now, anti-corruption has been going on, starting from Deng Xiaoping, for decades—thirty-something years, forty years of anti-corruption. Starting from the early 1980s, ah, the mid-1980s, going on for nearly forty years.

Do you think ordinary people have ever received any of these anti-corruption funds? No, it has nothing to do with ordinary people. All this money circulates within the Chinese Communist Party. You rob my family's money, and then another family's assets—one family of this Chinese Communist Party robs another family's money. They just keep robbing each other like this. The Chinese Communist Party has been playing this game for so many years, playing this game continuously.

Take a look, what year is this? You know, right? A full sexagenary cycle of the Cultural Revolution is sixty years. Everyone remembers 1966, right? From the Cultural Revolution in 1966 to this year, 2026, is exactly one cycle of sixty years. Sixty years after the Cultural Revolution, a political purge similar to the Cultural Revolution is taking place once again. In this purge, no one can escape unscathed; no one can escape unscathed.

That is why I have always said that within the bureaucratic system of the Chinese Communist Party, you must always remember, always remember, this is simply a meat grinder. Once you go in, you might look glorious today, but tomorrow you get ground right into it. Think about the 1950s—when people became officials of the Chinese Communist Party in the 1950s, how happy they were! Being an official was incredible. By the 1960s, after just about ten years or so, having been happy for roughly those ten years, there were already struggles within the Chinese Communist Party, along with one movement after another. By the time of the Cultural Revolution, almost all officials.

Officials underwent a massive purge. Take the officials during the Cultural Revolution period, can you say there were any who were not sent to May Seventh Cadre Schools? Almost none, almost none, right? It was uniform back then, and starting from now it is the same, exactly the same. Xi Jinping has now completely given up on the economy, the so-called economy. Look, just a couple of days ago he was still talking about, uh, this and that, holding something like the Canton Fair? During this period, it seems the autumn Canton Fair is being held. These things, actually, are all just for show.

Officials underwent a massive purge. Take the officials during the Cultural Revolution period, can you say there were any who were not sent to May Seventh Cadre Schools? Almost none, almost none, right? It was uniform back then, and starting from now it is the same, exactly the same. Xi Jinping has now completely given up on the economy, the so-called economy. Look, just a couple of days ago he was still talking about holding something like the Canton Fair? During this period, it seems the autumn Canton Fair is being held. These things, actually, are all just for show. The economy doesn't matter at all to him; he just lets it drift by inertia.

When the day comes that the economy collapses, then it collapses. When the economy collapses, at the very worst, what will be the ultimate result? The ultimate result will be North Korea. Just these past couple of days, there's another thing: the road across the Yalu River with North Korea has been opened, and a new Yalu River bridge has been built. Xi Jinping right now is determined to die on this hill, absolutely dead set on it. He thinks, "If you people mess with me in the end, what I am doing now is controlling the entire country. If you Westerners squeeze me and target me in the future, my ultimate fallback is that I will retreat..."

He will retreat to become like North Korea. But wait, can he really become like North Korea? Why not? Because it still has productive forces. Look, Xi Jinping is still dreaming about the future. Everyone should know—you need to know that in Mao's era, before Mao, the country's overall economy was much better than the economy of the 1940s and 1950s. Later, after the war, in fact, many national capitalists and many enterprises started building up and operating. Look at Shanghai later—Shanghai, and these so-called state-owned enterprises in China, were almost all left over from that time.

It was what they called joint state-private ownership back then, which meant snatching things from those entrepreneurs. In fact, from the late Qing Dynasty, the early Republican period, to the Republic of China era, China's democratic and commercial economy developed quite well. Look, a large number of foreigners entered China, and they brought advanced technologies, advanced manufacturing industries, and advanced management concepts into China. Precisely because there was such...

Such a process enabled the entire coastal region to develop extremely well later on. This is why the coastal economy in China is much stronger than the inland economy. If you say there was no Western penetration, no such process, and no Westernization Movement, that would be impossible. Then our coastal economy and our domestic, interior economy would be exactly the same.

Later, after Mao came to power, he completely ruined all of these economies. Afterwards, ordinary people had nothing to eat, right? Throughout successive dynasties, having nothing to eat happened under only one condition: when there were natural disasters, for instance, when a place suffered from famine, when a place suffered from floods, or when a place suffered from droughts. At those times, it was generally localized. Catastrophes on a nationwide scale like this only occurred during the period of the Chinese Communist Party, specifically reaching into the 1960s.

It was during the late fifties and early sixties, that is, the Great Famine, when tens of millions of people starved to death. So, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is like this; do not think that just because China's manufacturing is so advanced now, the common people will definitely have food to eat in the future, or that China's agriculture will definitely be developed. It is absolutely not like that. The CCP is just messing things up. It is like a person, or a family. You were originally a big family, very wealthy. Oh, your ancestors built hundreds of houses, but if a prodigal son appears in the family—or several prodigal sons—they will squander the entire family fortune within a few generations. In the end, that is it.

Everything is gone, so people are the primary factor. Xi Jinping, you see now, in the thirteen years since Xi Jinping took power, look at the kind of life the Chinese people have been living. It is all about potential. Today, I saw self-media posting about Wenzhou again. I used to go to Wenzhou often; Wenzhou is very close to Shanghai, about a six-hour drive. I often went to Wenzhou to hold meetings. I remember there was a hotel called something like the General Hotel, and I often went there for meetings.

I went there for meetings, to give speeches, and to participate in events. At that time, there were many private enterprises in Wenzhou. Wenzhou was very wealthy and very developed back then. Now, if you go to look at Wenzhou, go and see it. People have posted that the busiest street in Wenzhou in the past is now almost empty, with all the shops closed—all of them closed. Now that Xi Jinping is messing with these officials again, messing with them again, inside the current CCP, the people Xi Jinping wants to arrest are those who look down on him, who despise him. Now all the officials are cursing him behind his back; they fundamentally despise him.

They think he is just a fool. You see, under these circumstances, he wants to do something, and he almost wants to get rid of all the officials—at least 80% or 90% of them. Last year—was it last year? At the beginning of this year, a former deputy minister of the Organization Department of the CCP Central Committee who escaped told me, he said.

This year, from 2026 to 2027, the entire CCP will undergo a purge, and many people will escape. I estimate that during this period—look, in a couple of days, look at what happened back then, everyone remembers, right? Lin Biao got on a plane and escaped, and later the plane crashed, it crashed in that part of Mongolia. Look, in a while, something like this might happen.

Something like this will happen, it is very likely, some people might just flee abroad. Because look at the "Qiushi" journal, everyone go and read the article published in "Qiushi" today, it is very sharp. Xi Jinping has actually already dealt a lethal blow. These past two days, so a few days ago that friend in Beijing told me, now people in the ministries, some don't even dare to go to work, some are running to other places, they don't dare to go to work. Everyone is defending themselves. If you want to make arrests, now that Xi Jinping wants to arrest people, you have no idea at all. Arresting Huang Qifan today, arresting who tomorrow, how would you know? He might just wake up tomorrow morning and arrest Han Zheng.

You don't know, there are no signs for these people like Han Zheng now, there are no signs at all, so how can this life go on? There is no way to live. All these officials now, inwardly towards Xi Jinping—on the surface they are very respectful, submissive, but deep down in their bones, everyone hates him. Who wants to return to that era? As long as we return to that era of the Cultural Revolution, no one does.

Including during the Cultural Revolution, you might think it was targeting CCP officials, but in fact, the common people were all involved. For the common people, you think about it, normal production order and normal social order were gone. So the Cultural Revolution was an absolute catastrophe. Look at the extent to which Deng Xiaoping's family reached later? Look, his son jumped off a building and committed suicide. Later, as you all saw, this person was always sitting in a wheelchair. You think about your own biological eldest son; Deng Xiaoping loved this son very, very much. His son, Deng Pufang, was a very smart person.

A very smart person, but later you see he became disabled, he became long-term disabled, very pitiful, very pitiful. But there is no way, your old man entered this devil's den, and the son ended up paying the price. Now the situation inside the CCP is just like this, just like this. In a while, you will see, many of these assets overseas, the CCP's assets overseas, will all be snatched up by Xi Jinping.

Look, in a while, many houses in overseas Chinese residential areas will suddenly collapse, prices will fall, because a large number of houses might be sold to escape. There are two reasons: one reason is that they want to withdraw their funds to save their old man's life, to save their parents' lives, that is one. The second is that now the United States is also investigating, the United States is also investigating.

Something happened in the United States and Canada these past two days. There is an agent of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), an agent of the CCP, who is now undergoing deportation proceedings. Their green card, if they have already obtained one, will likely be revoked. The same will happen in the United States in the future; in fact, the U.S. has already revoked the visas of two people. Let me tell you all, you know 'Er Daye,' right? The 'Er Daye' who is a self-media personality on the internet—his U.S. visa has been revoked, he can no longer leave the U.S., and deportation proceedings have already been initiated against him.

Once deportation proceedings are initiated, this person can no longer stay in the United States because the U.S. government already views them as an enemy. This all erupted following the 'Chali Keke' incident. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security immediately targeted this individual. Their U.S. visa has been revoked, and it is possible that the U.S. government has already discovered that their application materials for a U.S. green card were fraudulent. It is not just them.

The law firm that handled their case is also going to be in trouble; they have already been targeted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Let me tell you again, many of those who are active in Washington and frequently attend various events at Congress do not have green cards, including those who were at odds with me a while ago—none of them have green cards.

Do you know what measures the U.S. is taking now? If you say you are a Chinese entrepreneur and you are being persecuted by the Chinese government, the U.S. will just leave you hanging there, but they will never issue you a green card. They will never issue you a green card. This includes people who entered the U.S. from Southeast Asia; I just learned about this.

Some people, the overseas pro-democracy activists, had good relationships with the U.S. government, the U.S. State Department, and the U.S. Congress at the time. So, these people would smuggle themselves out because the Chinese government wouldn't let them leave. They would smuggle themselves into Southeast Asia, and then some would come to the U.S. as visiting scholars, while others would come as refugees. Once they arrived in the U.S., the U.S. government would simply not issue them green cards.

They just leave you all hanging there. Do you know what these people are doing? The U.S. government has always suspected that these people have ties to the CCP. That is why, you see, those people who were at odds with me a while ago—none of them have green cards. Of course, not everyone, but those who came after 2016, 2017, and 2018—the older ones have cards, but the later ones do not. So these people spend their days mingling.

They go to the U.S. State Department and Congress when there is a meeting. Some even rent a venue to hold their own meetings, going to the U.S. State Department to rent a venue to hold a 'pro-democracy' meeting. Many of these people—remember this—many of these people have issues, serious issues. And their rhetoric is completely consistent with the CCP's overseas propaganda. Do you know what they are doing? They specifically promote 'rational, non-violent, and non-cooperative' movements in the U.S.; it's all them.

None of them have green cards. I originally thought they all had green cards, but in fact, none of them do. The U.S. will never issue them green cards; there is a huge question mark over these people. So, if you are an innocent person, the U.S. will naturally grant you one. The U.S. government will say this to these people, but once these people are linked to the CCP, there are issues. And those so-called people who came out of the Party School, they don't have them either.

They will never get one! I am telling you today, they will never get one. They will always be left hanging there, just hanging there. They don't have green cards now, and those without green cards can't even get 'white cards' (Medicaid) anymore; those have been canceled too. These people's lives are in trouble. These kinds of people will eventually face retribution; it is all retribution. Why did they come to the U.S.? You can tell by their behavior; these people all have issues, they are all on the fringes of the CCP.

They are all on the fringes of the CCP, and they will absolutely never consider the interests of the United States. Take the Zhao Guangjun incident, for example; I have already explained it very clearly. Zhao Guangjun, and people like him, are harmful to the U.S. government. The danger is absolutely high, and the facts already exist. Even the victims have come forward, yet they still don't consider the U.S. government or U.S. society at all. I want to save him because he is 'anti-CCP'—let me tell you all, okay? I have never heard a single anti-CCP slogan from Zhao Guangjun in Washington.

He was only asking the US government to demand that the Chinese government overturn his case. He said back then his job was at Sinopec or CNPC—he used to have a job, which seemed to be driving or something. He said, "Do not take this job away from me. Now I demand my job back and compensation for my losses." This is fundamentally, by no means, a counterattack.

Such people—therefore, these people are all getting what they deserve, all getting what they deserve. Following the Chinese Communist Party has no future whatsoever, no prospect whatsoever, and in the end, they will be buried within the Chinese Communist Party like a speck of dust. Look at Xi Jinping now; everyone, just look at this episode and the article published by Xi Jinping today, and you will know. Right now within the party, everyone is waiting to be slaughtered, exactly like the Cultural Revolution, exactly like the Cultural Revolution, and no one can escape.

This is retribution of epic proportions! Believing in the Chinese Communist Party is heading straight to the crematorium. Alright, thank you all for watching. You can go to the Xinhua News Agency website to check it out, or check out the website of Qiushi magazine for this article. This article is written in an extremely fierce tone, meaning Xi Jinping has already issued the order: I am determined to purge all these people within the Chinese Communist Party.

All of them, the dynasty has changed. Xi Jinping is actually changing the dynasty, moving away from collective leadership by the Chinese Communist Party toward a complete, pure dictatorship. He used to talk about putting power into a cage, but now look at his power: across all of China, he is the only one who has power, and everyone else is his lackey and slave. This is reality. The ordinary people of China cannot avoid it; right now the ordinary people of China have simply no way out, and there is only one way: overthrow this evil regime, and only then will the people of China have a sense of security in the future. Right now, no one has a sense of security in China. Alright, thank you all.
