The famous mainland singer Liu Huan unfortunately passed away, and many people in the music industry are mourning him, including Na Ying, Liu Huan's peer and the so-called "big sister" of the pop music world. However, Na Ying probably didn't expect that a spontaneous cover of "The Moon of the Wanan" while mourning would almost earn her an "administrative penalty." A tragic story was forcefully exploited by the Chinese Communist Party, turning into a farce. Let Liu Zhuo explain the whole situation to you. Turning the clock back to September 25, 63-year-old singer Liu Huan passed away in Shanghai, shocking the entertainment industry. The next day, Na Ying happened to be holding her personal concert tour in Chengdu. As a longtime friend of Liu Huan, Na Ying changed into a black outfit at the concert venue and temporarily added Liu Huan's representative song, "The Moon of the Wanan," to her setlist to express her grief and condolences for Liu Huan. As fate would have it, sitting somewhere in the audience was a grid worker with an exceptionally strong sense of catching spies. Hearing Na Ying say she was going to sing Liu Huan's song, alarm bells went off in their head, instantly realizing: "Why sing 'The Moon of the Wanan' (Baywan) instead of 'The Moon of the Mainland'? Could the moon in Taiwan be rounder than the moon on the mainland? Oh boy, where on earth is this going?" People nearby immediately told them to stop, saying, "Hey, hey, hey, this kind of reporting method is just asking to make a fool of yourself. You might as well report the temporary addition of the song as malicious evasion of approval." Just like that, two Little Pink audience members didn't say another word and directly reported Na Ying. Upon receiving the report call, the Culture and Tourism Bureau of Jinniu District, Chengdu, stated that the bureau leadership attached great importance to the matter and had already established a dedicated task force to investigate and verify it. For a time, rumors spread wildly online that "Na Ying might face a fine." Official phone operators instantly straightened their backs, stating, "If she performs temporarily without reporting and getting approval, it will be handled according to laws and regulations." After NetEase News published the article, netizens were directly left speechless. Come to think of it, it's quite funny that even singing a song requires approval. As for whether a fine will actually be imposed and how much it would be, the approval authority belongs to the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Culture, Broadcast-TV, and Tourism, and district-level culture and tourism departments cannot directly decide. Thank you. Oh boy, they really put on a "solemn and serious" act. In the past, people couldn't speak casually, but now people aren't even allowed to sing casually. You tell me if the party-state is leading the way. Netizens then rushed to ask the organizer of Na Ying's concert, Chengdu Maizhi Culture Media Co., Ltd. The other party coughed a few times and low-key stated, "Stop asking, someone lacked virtue and insisted on reporting it, and it's inconvenient for us to say anything." Fortunately, the follow-up finally arrived. The Culture and Tourism Bureau stated that, upon investigation, Comrade Na Ying was merely humming a snippet during the interactive segment at the concert site without putting her heart into it, and only hummed a few bars without fully singing the entire song "The Moon of the Wanan." Therefore, this time the Party showed mercy outside the law, ruling that it did not constitute a change of program. Na Ying could wipe away her cold sweat; there was no need for re-approval and no need for a massive fine. Bow down and be dismissed. Netizens expressed that after reading the notification from the Culture and Tourism Bureau, their cringe-induced cancer flared up. It was a ridiculous report matched by a notification that had the nerve to be just as ridiculous. Even a fool could see this truly is a ridiculous country. Netizens compiled a collection of these events and suddenly fell into depression, saying, "When American singer Taylor Swift goes on her concert tour, 'surprise tracks' of 'temporarily changing songs' have always been the most explosive and charismatic part of live performances. Looking back at the powerful nation, concerts require layer upon layer of approval just to sing an extra song or change a single lyric, otherwise it's treated as picking quarrels and provoking trouble. How much artistic inspiration and soul of performers must this stifle?" Heh, the party-state's culture and tourism departments stated, "We only answer to the General Secretary's cardiac stents, and we will eliminate all improper acts that might sing the Red Sun down below the horizon. How much is artistic inspiration per pound? Get far away." How utterly ridiculous.
Coming back to say a few words about the passing of singer Liu Huan, because leaving at 63 is still far too early, besides mourning online, many people are also discussing the reasons that accelerated Liu Huan's death. Multiple insiders mentioned that Liu Huan was a heavy drinker in his life and was famous for his "huge capacity for alcohol." When he was young, he loved alcohol as much as his life, and his drinking style was extremely bold. As he aged, his health gradually flashed red lights, and in his later years, Liu Huan significantly reduced his alcohol intake and even began trying to quit. In 2009, Liu Huan was diagnosed with severe avascular necrosis of the femoral head and underwent surgery. According to mainland media reports, Liu Huan also suffered from heart disease, ankylosing spondylitis, fatty liver, and other ailments during his lifetime, suffering greatly. In 2019, 55-year-old Liu Huan suffered a sudden heart attack while competing on Hunan TV's show "Singer," and pulled out the "rapid-acting heart relief pills" he carried with him for emergency relief. At the awards ceremony, show host He Jiong introduced that Liu Huan had just undergone coronary artery bypass surgery four days before entering the competition. The X account Hongfu combed through the timeline of Liu Huan's passing, and one detail was low-key heartbreaking: from 2021 to 2022, responding to Zhong Nanshan's call, he took three doses of the Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine. There was a sentence in Hongfu's commentary: "The most fatal were the final three shots." I can only say, let's hope it's not true. After all, there is that saying: trusting the Communist Party runs you straight into the crematorium. Compatriots inside the Great Firewall, be careful in everything.
The footage of CCP-hired thugs brutally attacking protesters who were peacefully expressing their grievances against the CCP's atrocities, just after the Trump-Xi meeting, is still going viral on social media. Jie Lijian, Chairman of the Chinese Democratic Party International Alliance, recorded this iconic scene on his X account. He stated that outside the Environmental Protection Agency building in the U.S. capital, CCP black-clad thug Li Huahong was arrested immediately after snatching Falun Gong banners and assaulting several Falun Gong practitioners. In front of U.S. police, Li Huahong began to feign illness and throw a tantrum, but was ultimately taken away by the police. For years, Li Huahong has been assaulting and harassing Falun Gong practitioners and has been arrested by police multiple times; she is a representative of the most rampant thugs used by the CCP for violent human rights suppression overseas. The key point is that this happened in the United States. If they dare to be this arrogant in the U.S., one can imagine how terrifying the CCP's repression is within China. Netizens say the CCP loves these kinds of hooligans—they are obedient and ruthless. The X account 'Qiangwei' recorded the footage of the day's events. Qiangwei said that in Washington on September 24, there were two scenes in one city, separated by only one street. On one side, the sun shone on the Falun Dafa banners, and the team's slogans were crisp and uniform: 'Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Support Falun Gong.' There were no clubs, no masks, and no loudspeakers directed from behind the scenes. After more than twenty years of peace, arriving in the U.S. capital, it is still the same message. On the other side, across from the EPA, before the shutter could even be pressed, people lunged forward, snatching banners, dragging people, tackling, and biting. When the police arrived, with a click of the handcuffs, Li Huahong collapsed on the ground, closed her eyes, and pretended to be dead. The propaganda funds spent by the totalitarian regime ultimately bought a pair of shiny handcuffs. The lackey had acted tough for half a lifetime, only to be exposed in a second on the streets of a rule-of-law society.
In fact, such a scene had just played out in Canada, the U.S.'s neighbor, before Xi Jinping's visit to the United States. Media personality Aric Chen reported that on the sidewalk outside the CCP consulate in Toronto, a man wearing a jacket with the CCP flag tore up a Falun Gong banner and pushed 62-year-old Falun Gong practitioner Li Lina to the ground, causing her chin to bleed. The man in black even threatened that this piece of Canadian pavement was 'Chinese territory' and that he would use Beijing's Anti-Secession Law to execute Li Lina by shooting. Subsequently, the man fled the scene before the police arrived. Look here, let us remember this arrogant face. If we can imagine that the CCP's wolf-warrior diplomatic thugs dare to commit such crimes in the free world, is it any surprise that they are unscrupulous in arresting, detaining, and harvesting organs within China? The Canadian independent media outlet Rebel News parked an advertising truck at the scene, scrolling video footage of the man in black assaulting Falun Gong practitioners, and asked the public to identify him. They also launched an initiative online to close CCP overseas police stations and ban the CCP's bullying activities on Canadian soil. This is the stance of Canadian independent media. Social media personality Chen Weiyu said that the 'flag man' who assaulted and destroyed Falun Gong banners in front of the Toronto consulate was publicly displayed, with the truck 'parading him through the streets.' The flag man had ranted, 'Believe it or not, I will kill you,' and 'This is Chinese territory.' Who knows who he is? Send him back to the CCP's China. In Canada, after the CCP thug committed his evil acts, he was publicly pursued by the media. In the U.S., after the CCP black-clad thugs assaulted Falun Gong practitioners, they faced an even greater blow. Just after Xi Jinping's delegation left, the U.S. Congress dealt the CCP a resounding slap in the face. Voice of America published a report at 1:19 PM Eastern Time: The U.S. Senate unanimously passed the 'Falun Gong Protection Act.' The report stated that the U.S. Senate passed the 'Falun Gong Protection Act' (S.4009) without objection on Monday (September 28). This bipartisan bill requires the U.S. President to submit to relevant congressional committees a list of individuals determined by the President to have knowingly and directly engaged in or facilitated the forced harvesting of organs within China. All assets of these individuals are prohibited from being traded in the U.S. or with U.S. persons, and the U.S. will refuse to issue them entry visas; existing visas may be revoked. As the saying goes, 'Heaven brings rain, man brings disaster.' I want to say to the CCP's wolf-warrior black-clad thugs: 'The big one is coming; do you still want to continue to be buried with the CCP?'
Recently, real estate tycoon Pan Shiyi, who had long faded from the public eye, went viral again due to a private video. In 2020, because of the trouble Ren Zhiqiang got into, Pan chose to stay in the United States, thereby escaping a disaster. Looking back now, this "disaster" refers not only to imprisonment but also to the great calamity of being trapped within the Great Firewall forever and being repeatedly harvested. It is estimated that many of the trapped tycoons inside the wall wish they could travel back a few years and slap themselves hard in the face. They once laughed at Pan Shiyi, calling him "Pan the Runner" and saying he was "truly stupid," but now they laugh and curse at themselves in the mirror: "Look at your shortsightedness, look at your self-proclaimed cleverness, look at how you sank into the quagmire without even realizing it, and still had the leisure to mock others." Sigh, who would have thought that I was the clown all along. That said, was Old Pan really stupid or not? Let's take a look at a segment where Old Pan talks about a past meeting he and "Ren the Cannon" had with a certain minister of the party-state. Look here. Decades later, Pan Shiyi can still talk and laugh freely in the United States, while his peers in the real estate industry have fallen one by one. Tycoons in other industries have fared no better; they are all marching in unison into Xi Jinping's "new era of taxation." Xi Jinping, representing the Party, has made it clear: so-called common prosperity means that when the Party and the government are short of money, those pigs fattened during the good times must be slaughtered when the time comes. Did you really think the money you earned was yours to keep? How naive. You were merely temporary custodians. The older generation of proletarian revolutionaries has already set the example—the Three-anti and Five-anti campaigns, land reform, and socialist transformation, also known as public-private partnership—it is time to bring back those memories. Have you lived the good life for so long that you have forgotten that murderous slogan of Chairman Mao: "Set up machine guns on three sides, only one path is allowed"? That one path is to hand over all your property and have your physical existence completely eliminated. If your physical existence is not eliminated, then without exception, you will all be reduced to the lowest level of social cattle and horses.
Bloomberg recently revealed that the Chinese Communist Party's tax authorities have clearly proposed opening a "new era of taxation." The official authorities not only revised the [regulatory rules targeting offshore trusts], but also launched the largest corporate tax arrears recovery campaign in recent years. The intensity of this tax collection is unprecedented, signaling that the official tax focus is shifting comprehensively toward domestic high-net-worth individuals and large enterprises. The Party has even established a [tax recovery working group] for this campaign, reminding one of the saying: the Party-State does not rule by law, but by ad-hoc groups. According to insiders, the tax authorities have joined forces with local governments, auditing experts, and regulatory agencies to form multiple special working groups to precisely track the overseas assets of the wealthy class. Some working groups have even targeted a [single] specific billionaire for comprehensive investigation. The CCP has issued a clear ultimatum to the relevant tycoons, demanding that they pay up on offshore trusts and related taxes by late October, with severe penalties for those who miss the deadline. As a result, the seemingly omnipotent elite circles have collectively fallen into anxiety. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, accelerated heart rate, palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, abnormal breathing, shaking hands and feet, muscle tension, dizziness, numbness in the limbs, heavy sweating, dry mouth, stomach discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea. Insomnia and poor sleep quality are basically standard features. To save their skins in every sense, the tycoons are pulling out all the stops. Some are urgently assessing risks while raising funds to pay taxes; for instance, some tycoons are accelerating the sale of stocks or seeking overseas loans. A representative figure is Shu Ping, co-founder of Haidilao, who has sold about 350 million USD worth of stock through a family trust to cope with the tax bill. Other high-net-worth individuals are still trying to struggle, asking around everywhere: "Hey, is it still too late to apply for a foreign passport?" Well, once the Party hears your words, levying an "exit tax" in the near future will become yet another far-ahead prophecy. Other smart aleck tycoons have grasped the pulse of "governing through corruption." What pulse is that? The lack of a nationally unified tax valuation standard is a back door left for the working group officials. Therefore, the two sides staged a tug-of-war of bargaining. Believe it or not, some actually succeeded. According to insiders, a certain business owner in Guangzhou, after receiving a 100 million RMB tax bill, ostensibly threatened the local government by saying [they would relocate the enterprise to Shanghai]. Privately—well, you know. In short, they ultimately succeeded in persuading the local department to drastically reduce the tax amount to 5 million RMB. As for the remaining 95 million, who knows, we won't get into that. Some tycoons also attempt to exploit technical loopholes, such as asking financial consultants to find smaller, more covert overseas banks to store funds and avoid overly prominent international financial giants like Morgan Stanley or UBS. Furthermore, do you think this slaughter operation only targets super-rich individuals? You are entirely wrong. The wealth held by mainland Chinese residents in Hong Kong, totaling more than 1.7 trillion USD, has also entered the CCP's regulatory crosshairs. Whether you hold 10,000 USD in US stocks or 10 million USD in property, it all enters the aiming scope. The Party modestly expresses that its fine tradition is leaving not a single one behind: "From the whole lion to the fly's leg, no piece of meat is spared." In three words: winning big time.
So, Xi Jinping had just returned to the country with a weary and halting gait when, without taking a breather, he issued important instructions regarding state security. Presumably, he was rather fired up by his three-day trip to the US. And understandably so—for 48 hours, from morning till night, everywhere he went, there were cries of "Down with the Chinese Communist Party" and "Xi Jinping step down." No dictator could stomach that. Consequently, Xi's minion, Chen Wenqing, Secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, held a meeting in Beijing on September 28. At the meeting, he spoke at great length, conveying Xi's important instructions. It turns out that, just like old Uncle Trump, Xi is someone who acts like a "good buddy" one second and immediately turns hostile the next, truly putting on a classic performance of fake brotherhood. Speaking on behalf of his master—that is, Xi—Chen Wenqing claimed that certain countries are abusing the concept of "state security" to politicize development issues, instrumentalize economic activities, and weaponize trade policies. He complained that a handful of countries are waving the "big stick of tariffs" and arbitrarily "building walls and barriers," exacerbating the regionalization and fragmentation of international economic and trade, while engaging in illegal sanctions, blockades, "long-arm jurisdiction," and maximum pressure, which severely impacts the normal operation of the multilateral trading system, blah, blah, blah. Then, making an abrupt shift in tone, he shouted slogans that shook the heavens: resolutely winning the defense war against subversion, and effectively preventing and defusing political security risks. First, he emphasized that various hostile forces have not relaxed for even a moment in implementing their strategies of Westernization and division against China, and have always attempted to instigate a "color revolution" in the country in a vain bid to subvert the leadership of the CCP and the socialist system. After that, he insisted that defending national political security must be placed above all else, severely cracking down on all kinds of infiltration, sabotage, subversion, and separatist activities. Outwardly, they must build a Great Wall of steel to safeguard political security; inwardly, they must eradicate the soil and conditions that affect political security, firmly maintaining the security of state power, the system, and ideology. They must strictly guard the ideological front, win the battle over online ideology, and resolutely resist and guard against all kinds of erroneous ideological trends.
Before this round of calls for killing, perhaps under the instruction of the Heilongjiang Political and Legal Affairs Commission, a piece of news sparked attention online. Harbin Engineering University, a "Project 211" university in China and one of the so-called "Seven Sons of National Defense," disciplined 20 students at once for circumventing the Great Firewall, setting a precedent in advance for Chen Wenqing's call to "strictly guard the ideological front and win the online ideological struggle." On September 27, a notice bearing the official seal of the School of Mathematical Sciences at Harbin Engineering University circulated online. It stated that 20 students—7 undergraduates and 13 postgraduates—had used their personal campus network accounts to access overseas websites via VPNs and other channels between September 18 and 19, an act commonly known as "jumping the wall," and their behavior was fully recorded and retained by the monitoring system. The notice then stated that since it was the students' first violation and "no dissemination of harmful information, illegal profit, or other serious harmful consequences were found," the school decided to issue a warning. If similar behavior occurs again, they will be "dealt with seriously." Although the school did not publicly announce which specific websites or overseas content these 20 students accessed, nor did it disclose their specific identities, grade levels, or subsequent handling, an elderly man in Harbin who learned of the incident blasted Harbin Engineering University—take a look here. Even though the old man spoke with great conviction, it still could not stop the school from wishfully believing that it is a warm, caring school for students, with the key point being that it must ultimately draw its sword clearly to kill one as a warning to a hundred regarding all kinds of firewall circumvention. After the incident, it attracted great attention online. Netizens pointed out that after students are warned and disciplined by the school, their scholarships or eligibility for recommendation to postgraduate programs for that year will be cancelled. Moreover, the record of "jumping the wall" might be entered into their personal files, and if they want to work in government agencies in the future, they might be rejected because of this. Some persistent netizens asked, the school must have a basis for disciplining students, right? Which law or which article of the school rules is it based on? Bring out the relevant regulations for people to see. As it turned out, some people searched through Harbin Engineering University's student management regulations and the trial version of the campus network management measures and could not find any clauses prohibiting the use of VPNs. May I ask, is a punishment that cannot find a legal basis or a basis in school rules legal? Is it effective? Does it hold water? The Political and Legal Affairs Commission and the Cyberspace Administration of China, representing the Party's Ministry of Truth, said, is it important whether it is legal, effective, or holds water? NO, "national security" is a basket, and anything can be put into it. Some knowledgeable netizens also said that these students from the School of Mathematical Sciences at Harbin Engineering University were accessing GitHub. GitHub is the world's largest cloud hosting platform for software source code and a developer collaboration community. It can be simply understood as a "programmer's cloud drive + technical social circle," which is a rigid demand for science and engineering students, especially those in computer majors. For example, people doing mathematical research need to view other people's code, read papers in international journals, and find open-source mathematical tools and datasets on GitHub. All these things are on overseas websites, and you cannot access them at all without circumventing the firewall. Asking students engaged in scientific research not to circumvent the firewall is like asking a chef to cook without letting him enter the kitchen, or asking a doctor to perform surgery without letting him touch a scalpel. How can you do research without tools? Harbin Engineering University stated that those with genuine needs can report, apply, and go through the process first, but there is currently no clear reference standard for the processing cycle of such applications. In other words, it could take anywhere from ten days to half a month, or even a year or more. By the time the application is approved, the technology has already iterated. Answer completed, no need to thank me. Then came the most comedic follow-up: a netizen posted that a student missed out on a postgraduate recommendation by one spot, and it just so happened that a classmate ranked higher than them used a VPN to circumvent the firewall daily. So, this student wanted to report their classmate for "jumping the wall." If the report was successful, that classmate would lose their eligibility for postgraduate recommendation, and the reporter could fill the vacancy. Someone was even consulting a teacher, asking if the teacher had any experience. The teacher, having a conscience, replied, "Don't do such things; it's too unscrupulous." If the revelation is true, this unscrupulous student looks like they could indeed successfully obtain the postgraduate recommendation quota, but I don't know if any supervisor would dare to take such a devious student, risking the chance of being bitten at any time. As the situation develops to this point, the Party expresses its welcome with both hands and feet. Sure enough, the Fengqiao experience of mobilizing the masses to fight the masses has borne fruit. My Raluo Kingdom not only has the Chaoyang Aunties but also students keen on reporting. One must be surnamed Party, have Party spirit, and not human nature. Our Party has successors indeed. A reminder to everyone:
