Xi Jinping to Step Down in October! A Coup in Zhongnanhai, Visit to the US Cut Short to Return to Beijing? Determined to Take Taiwan by Year-End, Striving for Re-election at the 21st Party Congress, Will Not Hand Over Power to Cai Qi

The video focuses on Xi Jinping's visit to the United States, describing scenes such as Trump greeting him at the airport, 21-gun salutes, and military aircraft flyovers, while analyzing the possible reasons for Xi Jinping's absence from the UN General Assembly. The video also discusses the extension of the US-China trade truce, the Taiwan issue, the Fifth Plenary Session, military purges, and the succession arrangements for the 21st National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in 2027, arguing that this trip was more about demonstrating his international standing and grip on power to the party internally.

Today at around 5 AM Taiwan time, Xi Jinping arrived at the Air Force airport in the suburbs of Washington. This major international event is also very relevant to Taiwan. Trump and his wife were present to greet him, and those scenes everyone expected unfolded.

Xi Jinping's physical condition is truly failing. As you all can see, first of all, Xi Jinping was once again helped down the plane by Peng Liyuan. Xi Jinping's footsteps and center of gravity leaned entirely toward Peng Liyuan.

What was surprising, however, was that because Xi Jinping's special plane arrived nearly half an hour early, the red carpet was still being laid out. US military officers and soldiers were seen kneeling on the ground to roll out these red carpets. After Foreign Minister Wang Yi signaled from inside the plane, Xi Jinping finally exited the cabin and descended.

Naturally, this scene was deliberately spun by anti-Trump figures claiming that Trump was pandering to Xi, deliberately capturing screenshots at conversational moments—perhaps just as a certain action or gesture was being made—to freeze-frame Trump acting obsequiously while Xi Jinping deliberately had US troops kneel to welcome him.

One detail worth noting is that Xi Jinping remained expressionless throughout, which didn't necessarily mean he was unhappy or displeased. I believe it was more likely that he was genuinely in physical discomfort, having taken heavy painkillers or something similar.

We could also see that since his visit to Kyrgyzstan early last month, including the summit in India, he has basically looked like this all along, right? His knees and legs are truly shot, and even a CT scan of his knee has leaked. I estimate that he took a large amount of medication just to barely allow him to walk somewhat normally.

Peng Liyuan was able to converse naturally in English with Trump's wife, while Ying Zhihong couldn't even say a single "ok."

And you could witness a very fascinating scene. As Trump and Xi Jinping stood on the red carpet while the national anthems of both countries were played, a 21-gun salute echoed, accompanied by more than a dozen F-16s and F-22 fighters waiting in formation nearby, while B-1 bombers swept overhead, with two passing directly above Xi Jinping's head.

Trump even deliberately made an exaggerated expression: "Wow, Xi Jinping, look at that B-1 of ours." Whether Xi Jinping was in such agonizing physical pain that he couldn't care less about what was happening above his head, or whether he knew what Trump was trying to do, remains unclear.

Do you know the difference? The bombers that struck Iran, invisible to the entire world, are B-2s, whereas the ones that swept over Xi Jinping's head were B-1 bombers. What is the difference between these two aircraft?

Two B-1 supersonic bombers have a speed and firepower coverage superior to the B-2, but the B-2 has higher stealth capabilities and is very suitable for low-altitude supersonic surprise attacks. Who are they mainly targeting? The complete annihilation of maritime targets. In other words, Xi Jinping's aircraft carrier fleet and the South China Sea and East China Sea fleets can be wiped out in one sweep.

So is he still giving Xi Jinping a chance? As long as you dare to shake Taiwan and the Okinawa base dares to take certain actions, this B-10000 bomber of mine is definitely capable—and I don't just have two of them—of completely annihilating the fleet you have painstakingly built over the past 20 or 30 years. If you dare to shoot off your mouth again, the next thing sweeping over your head will be the B-2 bomber, and it will bomb Zhongnanhai in Beijing.

That is why Xi Jinping has designated the area within a 300-kilometer radius of Beijing as a restricted zone over the past few days, including the entire city of Beijing where aerial photography drones are prohibited, including components, right?

This reminds me of what Zhao Lijian once said, let's take a look: "For Chinese drones to fly around in Chinese territory, I don't think it's anything to make a fuss about, especially taking a spin around the imperial capital Beijing, is there anything wrong with that? Right?"

And a BBC reporter on the scene also made a remark that I find quite interesting. He said that he has followed the White House team in and out of this airport dozens of times over the past decade or two, and usually Trump has almost no fanfare here. Upon arrival, he usually decides whether or not to stop and answer reporters' questions, but this time he has never seen such a formation.

Did you know? Last time in August 2025, Russian President Putin visited Alaska in the United States, and Trump personally greeted him at another air force base. But guess what? Trump arranged for the even stealthier B-2 bomber, capable of decapitation strikes, to fly right over Putin's head, and Putin actually looked up at it a few times. Could Putin not know the meaning of that?

I will offer a third possible version of the explanation for the Little Pinks: Xi Jinping couldn't understand it, he didn't know what those B-1 or B-2 things were, thinking maybe they were Vitamin C or B-12 that you could eat? He probably thought they were welcoming planes or some other commercial airliners, he didn't care. He probably went back and waited for his aides to tell him, "Big Daddy Xi, actually the US President was just intimidating you just now, and our fleet is in trouble..."

Moreover, there were large numbers of protesters both inside and outside the hotel, alongside supporters. This is the largest overseas anti-Xi wave in history. You know this time, three blocks around Xi Jinping's hotel were cordoned off, and the number has reached—cumulative to date—39 anti-Xi groups joining forces. Are there more? Possibly.

We can mention these orderly scenes and events a bit later. Let's finish discussing Taiwan, as well as the political game between China, the US, and Japan first.

I said a few days ago, and today we will discuss it more in depth. What is so ridiculous? Pro-CCP media actually said this was Trump giving Xi Jinping the utmost respect. I think that is also extremely laughable.

To put it simply: if you go to someone else's house today, and they wave a butterfly knife right in your face, while also swinging a Guan Yu broadsword around, would you call that a welcoming knife or a warning show of force? Fucking hell. Today if my children go to get married, and the in-laws wave a rocket launcher back and forth in front of me, saying it's giving me huge respect—would you think that way? Is that how it works?

Xiang Zhuang dancing with the sword—how brilliant. I, Liu Bang, am going to step forward to watch more closely how Xiang Zhuang dances with his sword. Such huge respect to me! Look, the seating area is packed, and instead of dancing in front of me, he dances right on my table—is that called giving you respect? Pro-CCP media really treats their supporters like brain-dead idiots.

Of course, who else accompanied Xi Jinping this time? His chief eunuch Cai Qi, and the eternal Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Because there is nobody else available to use.

This is the first time Xi Jinping has set foot on US territory since 2015, after an interval of 11 years. One of the biggest conditions for Xi Jinping's visit to the US this time was that no arms sales to Taiwan and no economic aid to Taiwan passed by Congress should be signed.

However, according to sources this time, Trump does not want to discuss the Taiwan issue with Xi Jinping in public; they might discuss it in a closed-door meeting, but in public, he will not give the CCP media and pro-CCP media any room to spin the narrative.

But everyone must remember, pro-CCP media will definitely spin it as Trump abandoning Taiwan again. This is probably the 634th time they have written about this year.

When Trump visited China in May this year, Rubio and the Speaker of the US House of Representatives repeatedly guaranteed—both before and after, and even during the visit—that US policy and aid regarding Taiwan would not change. Especially Rubio, who even accepted US interviews while he was in Beijing, stating that the stance on Taiwan would not change.

Then I guess, why does Xi Jinping look so grim right now? Is there another reason? Vice Premier He Lifeng had already visited the U.S. for negotiations before the 20th-23rd, right? Perhaps he didn't secure terms that satisfied Xi Jinping.

You must understand that meetings between leaders of major powers are just for show; the real negotiations happen with the delegations in the days prior. But the Little Pinks will say, "That's not right!" This time, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said that he and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng agreed to extend the trade war truce, originally set to expire on November 10th, by two months—that is, to January 10th of next year.

He also said this gives us more time to see what else can be done on the economic front. Let me break down the details behind this for you.

The U.S. midterm elections, with part of Congress up for reelection, are on November 3rd, and the new term begins on January 3rd of the following year. Do I need to say more about what this extension means?

I have said before that both sides are in a relationship of absolute hostile competition with no turning back, unless China democratizes. Currently, they are just carving out areas of non-competition where limited cooperation is still possible.

How should I put it? This U.S.-China summit negotiation is at a difficult moment for Trump, because his polling and approval ratings have also slipped due to the Iran war, and public dissatisfaction in the U.S. has risen as well.

Xi Jinping is facing similar challenges domestically, especially within the Party. Even though he has 100% actual control, he is distrustful at heart.

So, Trump is in a hurry to get the CCP to commit to orders to hold onto his midterm votes. Also, what is being discussed behind the scenes is how to avoid a blanket boycott of everything from the CCP's China, which would lead to a short-term price hike in daily necessities in the U.S. After all, the U.S. government is elected; it's not like the CCP.

Therefore, this negotiation is not child's play. I can't just "cut it off" like the CCP does; democratic countries have no way to do that.

But everyone, I believe the Taiwan issue is not even one of the main focuses for Xi Jinping this time, because the biggest variable involving Taiwan lies in Japan. We can discuss this in detail during a live stream when we have the chance.

The Taiwan issue is a bargaining chip and a card that Xi Jinping and Trump can play against each other. But the battlefield that truly determines Xi Jinping's fate is not in Washington, nor is it in Taiwan. Where is it? It is in Beijing, at the Fifth Plenary Session a month from now.

We have been talking about the theme of this meeting for the past few days: it is not about stimulating the economy, nor is it about real estate, and certainly not about a profound discussion of the next five-year plan. It is about "comprehensively governing the Party with strictness," intra-party governance, and solving the existing prominent problems facing Party building.

Translated into plain language, it means: I am going to purge people again, I am going to clean house again, and I am going to reconfirm who is loyal to me. I need you people to rip your hearts out and show them to me, like Bi Gan, so that I can know.

This Fifth Plenary Session will have over 300 Central Committee members, as well as Politburo Standing Committee members and alternate members, entering Beijing for the meeting. A few months after that, it will be the 20th National Congress of the CCP in 2027.

Whether Xi Jinping will seek a fourth term as General Secretary of the CCP, along with his roles as Chairman of the Central Military Commission and Politburo Standing Committee member, and who will fill the positions left by Zhang Youxia—all of this will be meticulously planned.

Especially now, with the major purges in the Military Commission, the various theater commands, and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, right? Out of the 20 or 30 people, only Xi Jinping and Zhang Shengmin, who comes from the discipline inspection commission, remain among the core seven.

This is no longer just a simple anti-corruption issue; it is a power machine that Xi Jinping must reorganize before the 21st National Congress to ensure his fourth term and continued control over the military.

And Wang Huning might even plan Xi Jinping's reelection this time from the direction of "governing the Party with strictness."

So, what Xi Jinping needs to bring back from this U.S. trip is not whether Trump made concessions on Taiwan, nor just a few orders for soybeans or Boeing aircraft.

What he needs is a diplomatic victory that can be packaged by the Publicity Department and CCTV as "the U.S. bowing to China" and "Trump welcoming Xi Jinping with high-level honors." Even CtiTV might write it that way.

And Trump's personal welcome, the two national anthems, the 21-gun salute, and the state banquet with tech giants in attendance—these images are not primarily for Americans to see, but for those 300-plus Central Committee members and 8 alternate members within the CCP.

Most importantly, why can we see that Lei Jun and some other Chinese tech giants are not on the list for the U.S. state banquet this time? But it's hard to say, maybe they will be there tonight; it's possible. It's just that they haven't been photographed yet because Lei Jun is currently inside China, right?

So we can wait and see which tech giants the Chinese side actually sends to this commercial negotiation tomorrow, and then we can conduct further analysis.

Before this Fifth Plenary Session, Xi Jinping told everyone: Don't think that just because my military has been purged until no one is left, and there are heaps of economic and financial problems, I, Xi, still carry weight internationally. Look, the US President came in person to greet me, and I even had a B-2 bomber flying overhead showing off its might for me—scared yet?

Speaking of this, a very bizarre problem arises: Since Xi Jinping has already arrived in the US, why didn't he dare to attend the UN General Assembly in New York a few days ago? Sanae Takaichi went, so why didn't you go?

This year, nearly 130 heads of state and government leaders traveled to New York, and Trump also personally attended to deliver a speech, right? China has always claimed to be a defender of the UN system, and furthermore one of the Permanent Five members that replaced the Republic of China.

If Xi Jinping truly wanted to project the status of a major power leader, why wouldn't he dare to attend this conference, declare to the UN that the East is rising and the West is declining, present the Chinese solution, and talk about a community with a shared future for mankind—saying it's me, Xi Jinping? He didn't go; instead, he chose to go only to Washington and have a one-on-one meeting with Trump.

Of course, official CCP channels won't tell people the reason, so we cannot assert whether he really didn't dare to go because of health issues, but there is a distinct possibility.

Recently, when we put these events together, there are three possibilities. As just mentioned regarding health and physical stamina, attending the UN General Assembly isn't just about going up to read a script and leaving; you have to sit down below through the entire thing. The longer you stay, the more opportunities media outlets from all over the world have to capture variables, right?

Moreover, it involves several days of bilateral meetings, banquets, media exposure time, and waiting time. It's not just the specific media outlets from the BRICS summit or Japanese media; all media outlets, even America's own media, Trump's media, and those media you consider right-wing, would be filming.

Besides, Xi Jinping already showed signs of absence at the dinner during that recent summit in India, and his time spent walking down stairs has become increasingly difficult and prolonged. If he went to New York and then transferred to Washington, the whole trip would add another two to three days at most, increasing the abnormal burden on his body and raising the risk of the whole world once again catching him looking physically unfit.

That is why Xi Jinping's visit to Washington was also rushed. Rather than facing continuous exposure at the UN, it was better to save his limited physical stamina for Trump, the most important political performance best suited for the CCP overseas propaganda.

Secondly, what is it? Pomp and circumstance. When you go to the UN, Xi Jinping is just one of 130 leaders; he takes the stage in order, and he won't be the protagonist, right? Furthermore, Trump wouldn't personally greet him, there would be no red carpet, and no B-2 bomber dispatched to put on a show like Xiang Zhuang performing the sword dance—none of those things would happen.

However, upon arriving in Washington, he became the sole guest. For a leader urgently needing to prove before the Fifth Plenary Session that his international status has not declined, going to the UN presents a mountain of problems, but once you arrive at the White House, those problems can be spun into a domestic and overseas propaganda success.

Next is the issue of out-of-control risks, right? Among people from over 100 countries, some are anti-communist while others support the CCP, and on-site there would be many conversations directly targeting the CCP and Xi Jinping face-to-face.

In the past, people would shout challenges at Foreign Minister Wang Yi or some staff officer from the Chinese military; this time, they could directly confront Xi Jinping with challenges, and these are leaders of various countries.

Xi Jinping simply cannot hold the line against this, nor can he just order someone to be dragged away. How they dragged Hu Jintao away is not how they can drag Japan's Sanae Takaichi away—that's impossible to pull off, so the scene would become even more chaotic.

Look at this time: just upon arriving in Washington, 39 anti-communist groups came out to protest. If he had prolonged his stay in New York, these groups would have followed him from New York to Washington. This is a scene Xi Jinping does not want to see.

Therefore, I believe that Xi Jinping's trip to the US this time, delivering a speech to the world, was merely to shoot a set of visuals he could take back to Beijing to report on.

His needed audience is not the UN, nor the whole world or those 130-odd countries, but rather the 300-odd Zhao family members he will face inside the Fifth Plenary Session at the end of October.

Although he now holds comprehensive power, for a 73-year-old who can still travel abroad and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Trump growing taller by the day, he feels he can stand on equal footing, and that the East is rising and the West is declining, right? Therefore, he considers any health issues or military issues you talk about to be non-issues.

He needs to pave the way for his fourth term in 2027. This is also why he brought Cai Qi along with him.

Of course, Taiwan will definitely be put on the table to be negotiated in this closed-door meeting, but for Xi Jinping, Taiwan is merely one of the achievements he can bring back to Beijing to claim credit.

It is not the absolute restructuring of military power at the Fifth Plenary Session, nor whether he himself or even Cai Qi can rise to power by 2027; these are what truly concern whether the Xi faction itself can lead the world, and whether the community with a shared future for mankind can continue to sit in Zhongnanhai and remotely command everything.

He is not afraid of losing the bargaining chip of Taiwan; he is afraid of losing his grip on power in Zhongnanhai.
