This episode mainly discusses the extreme security and control measures taken by Shenzhen to welcome the APEC summit, including gated communities, grid workers entering homes, and comprehensive traffic control; at the same time, it analyzes the behind-the-scenes story of Xi Jinping's setback in demanding all parties "read from the little red book" during the APEC trilateral talks, and combines the lack of live broadcast for the Sun Yat-sen birth anniversary commemoration and Hu Chunhua's high-profile appearance to explore Xi Jinping's health status and high-level political dynamics.

It is said that the leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Xi Jinping, has once again elevated the CCP's incompetence in governance and expertise in harassing the public to a new height, accelerating the reversal of progress. On November 18-19, Shenzhen will host the APEC summit, and Xi Jinping will take the international stage as the host, clutching his little notebook—he cannot do without it anywhere, as he intends to showcase his "Xi Jinping Thought on Major-Country Diplomacy," or rather, "major-country diplomacy from a little notebook." Isn't that shocking? On one side, foreign dignitaries will be like "Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden," arriving in surprise; on the other side, residents in apartment buildings near the venue have received notices that Party members will be moving in. Wait, what notice? Party members moving in? Whether they stay depends on their "performance," but their entry into your home is certain. It is completely baffling—what kind of mess is this? I don't understand. This person is playing dumb while knowing exactly what is going on. Listen carefully: on November 10, a WeChat screenshot circulating online showed a notice in a Shenzhen property management group stating that a large-scale meeting would be held at the entrance of the residential complex. Many people are concerned about living and access issues during the meeting. It is suggested that you arrange to go out for a trip from November 17 to 19, as there will be traffic controls and food delivery/courier services will be banned from entering the complex, making living there very inconvenient. The complex will be locked down for three days, with large welding rods and heavy steel locks. Houses with no one inside will have electronic seals with chips attached; as soon as the door is opened, an alarm will sound. You won't be able to return home; this time it is a total lockdown. What if I need to go home to water my flowers? Those who need to water flowers will have their electronic locks opened by staff and be accompanied into the house. Only after midnight on the 19th will you be able to return home freely. That is the only way. For occupied houses, during the critical period on the 18th and 19th, residents are strictly forbidden from going out onto balconies or standing by windows to peek or watch the excitement. If you are sniped by a sharpshooter, the authorities will not be held responsible. Sniped? What kind of Delta Force scenario is this? Here is the key point: at that time, Party and government personnel will forcibly enter homes for "visits." Forcibly? Yes, to identify in detail who has reactionary speech, reactionary behavior, reactionary decorations, or reactionary daily necessities—I've never heard of such things. Note: a special reminder to everyone, do not say you refuse to let our Party grid workers move in. You cannot make such reactionary remarks; if you do, it will be treated as assaulting the police. Done. When a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot reason his way out. Wait, these "visits" won't turn into Party members just plopping down in our homes and monitoring us 24/7, right? You are spreading rumors. Why would they be that close? They won't be that intimate, but staying over is a possibility. Ah? What do you mean "ah"? There are precedents for this. The property management has been painstakingly advising you many times: go on a trip early. Whether there is a subsidy is not important; at least you can have some freedom and maintain your privacy. What do you mean? No privacy allowed? You blockhead, think about it: a Party member just plops down in your home. If you kick him out, he won't leave; if you scold him, he won't leave; if you pull him, he acts like a dead dog and still won't leave. "I'm staying here today. The bed is small? It's just one room? No problem, you two sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor." Refused! What kind of nonsense is this? Are they coming here to act like hooligans? If you are afraid of hooliganism, hurry up and arrange a self-guided tour.

Shenzhen citizens have already exposed this, with the title: "Unable to return home or live in one's own house during APEC." Take a look: during the APEC summit, in the core areas of Shenzhen, residential buildings were sealed off by the police, with grid workers stationed at every building. Each household is given a daily comprehensive subsidy of 600 yuan. In the core area of Shenzhen, 600 yuan a day is not enough for a family to cover three meals a day at a hotel. The article also says that the 600-yuan daily subsidy cannot compensate for the disruption of residents' lives and the restriction of their freedom of residence. Is the so-called "city image" built on the basis of residents being homeless? Making the public give way for security and pay for the sake of "face"—Shenzhen citizens living in this area are speechless. The area around Xiangmi Lake is full of wealthy people, at the very least affluent middle-class families. It seems that in the eyes of the bandits, even the wealthy are just like ants, let alone ordinary people in Shenzhen. Everyone is being led by the neighborhood committee to register their vehicle license plates. Oh, and there is also an odd-even license plate restriction. Isn't it? The Shenzhen Ecology and Environment Bureau and the Transport Bureau jointly issued a notice that the entire city has implemented a ban on honking car horns. If you want the car in front to move faster, you have to roll down your window and shout manually. With this kind of traffic, it's all about shouting. The property management stated, "By the way, during the conference, temporary trash cans in the residential compound will be removed. If you can't find a trash can, please handle your own trash at home. You must produce and consume your own trash." Don't pretend to look innocent; we are a country with Chinese-style socialism. You think your home is your private domain? What a joke. According to the Party's needs, it can be requisitioned without compensation in minutes. Everything has just begun. Community Party members are secretly happy while saying, "Isn't this 'opening up'? Reform and opening up—no, not reform and opening up, just 'opening up'. You don't understand? It's okay. When someone comes to live in your house, you'll understand how 'open' it is." Think about it: if Party members are entering your home to stay with you, is the humiliation of the subway security check, where you have to take off your clothes, still anything new? Hey, the Communist Party: share property, share wives, share privacy. A female netizen in Shenzhen had a breakdown and climbed over the Great Firewall to cry for justice. She had just arrived at Shenzhen North Railway Station when she was stopped by the police. Why stop her? Because as soon as she went through the security check, it went "beep, beep, beep"—the alarm went off. The female police officer took me into a small dark room for inspection, throwing my things out one by one. Nail clippers, eyebrow trimmers, and scissors were all confiscated. These are tools for my work, okay? For manicures. As a result, it still went "beep, beep, beep." The police officer was furious: "Why is it still ringing? What is that? You have two iron rings on your chest, semi-circular, like square brackets. Take them off immediately!" Stop, this is too much like "Luocha Haishi," isn't it? Is the Shenzhen subway police sick? It's possible that the police themselves have been driven crazy, engaging in exaggerated law enforcement—low-level red, high-level black—handing knives to foreign forces, and forcing the Shenzhen subway police to become "friendly forces".

Speaking of subway security checks, one cannot avoid the topic of transportation. Shenzhen's traffic control this time has been upgraded in every aspect: buses have suspended operations, drones have been locked down, and even water transportation has been halted—boats are not allowed to sail. On November 10, the Marine and Water Bureau of Macau, while complaining, announced that to cooperate with the traffic control for the APEC meeting in Shenzhen, passenger ferry services between Shenzhen Fuyong and Macau would be suspended in both directions from November 16 to 21. What did Macau do to deserve this? This affects not just the residents around the APEC venue, but everyone who needs to travel between Macau and Shenzhen for work or business; everything is put on pause for these six days. No matter how important a matter is, it is not as important as President Xi hosting the APEC summit. Having power is just that willful. I see Shenzhen netizens saying that overnight, Meituan became all-English, sanitation workers earning 1,800 yuan scrubbed the ground until it shone, pipes were repainted, and subway workers were on their knees cleaning the gaps. All of this profoundly reflects how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) long uses vanity projects, formalism, and grand narratives to oppress the grassroots and maintain a facade of prosperity, all to cover up the CCP's riddled state—brainwashing the 'oxen and horses' (the masses) internally and deceiving others for trust externally. A golden quote goes: when foreign envoys arrived during the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui, one of the most incompetent emperors in history, had silk tied to trees to show off his wealth. He was obsessed with grandiosity and created a false sense of prosperity—a ruler destined to lose his kingdom. 'Xi Chongzhen' (Xi Jinping) seems to be saying, 'Who is boosting Yang Guang's morale and dampening my spirit?' He doesn't realize that he is making one bad move after another, and the more 'diligent' he is in his governance, the faster the country falls. A real-life version has emerged. On November 10, multiple netizens captured photos showing that on the eve of the APEC meeting, near Shenzhen, the exterior of a long-abandoned unfinished building was completely wrapped in blue construction fabric. Netizens joked, 'I thought Shenzhen had built a Water Cube, it's so beautiful! Once the meeting is over, will it be restored to its original state?' Local netizens also noted, 'It has been rotting since 2005, and now it looks brand new overnight.' This ability to 'throw money around' is indeed more than ten times greater than that of Emperor Yang of Sui. And you haven't even heard the absurd story from Shenzhen supermarkets yet: they received an emergency notice that during the APEC summit, in order to create a friendly and harmonious international atmosphere, all products that are anti-American, anti-Russian, anti-Japanese, or express hatred toward the US, Russia, Japan, or the old 'Big Brother' Soviet Union must be temporarily removed from shelves.

The APEC leaders' summit is about to kick off in Shenzhen next week. As it approaches, outside observers expect Chinese President Xi Jinping to hold a trilateral meeting with US President Trump and Russian President Putin. That is the general talk, but things are changing. This world-attention-grabbing meeting might be aborted because of the little notebook that Xi Jinping carries everywhere. Well, someone won't let Chairman Xi-pig read his refined little notebook. It's not that they won't let Chairman Xi read the little notebook in the trilateral meeting; rather, Chairman Xi demands that everyone must read it. Yes, meaning both Trump and Putin must read the little notebook, read strictly from the script, and rule out any impromptu remarks. My back breaks: since he can't open his mouth to speak on his own, he seals everyone else's mouth. Exactly. Chairman Xi stated that the consequences of not reading the little notebook are extremely serious—it's easy to stray off course and drift entirely over to the other side's territory. Since he is the one who can't open his mouth, everyone must read the little notebook. Reading the little notebook also presents challenges; with three countries involved in a multilateral setting, it's like weaving a flower basket. There are too many precautions and the clauses and details are extremely messy. The key is that Wang Huning is always adding pinyin annotations, so reading the little notebook thoroughly tests a person's judgment, discernment, balance, and composure when the answers cannot be found—three or four kinds of strength, and he is really not confused. The Wall Street Journal reported on November 9 that the Chinese side has expressed willingness to hold a trilateral meeting, but the precondition is the hope of completing agenda negotiations in advance to ensure that the meeting contents and expected outcomes are all arranged beforehand. That is to say, the three leaders will 'take turns reading aloud pre-written talking points.' Oh, are you insulting the intelligence of Trump and Putin? Adapting to local customs doesn't work that way. It must work this exact way: pouring from a bowl with an even hand, one little notebook per person, and no one can be better than anyone else. How deeply insecure must one be to—you go ahead and speak. Beijing directly dropped a harsh warning: if things cannot be negotiated in advance, the Chinese side would rather switch to holding separate bilateral meetings, with the General Secretary reading the little notebook twice. This guy is relentlessly obsessed with the little notebook. Wait a second, will Putin, his great daddy, and Grandpa Trump ever agree to this? This guy always brings up sore subjects. The demand to force the reading of the little notebook encounters Trump, who loves to improvise, and the outcome can be imagined: opposition, rejection. We never tell others the answers in advance. What did they say? Hit an iron plate with one's foot, didn't they? The iron plate came a bit too suddenly. The US explicitly replied that the meeting should be 'a more flexible meeting format,' allowing the leaders of the three countries to have more exchanges during the meeting rather than each reading aloud from a script. Faced with this, without reading the little notebook, can Old Xi endure it? Unbearable risks, tension, sweating. A senior official in the Trump administration stated that Xi Jinping seems unwilling to engage in exchanges with the US and Russian leaders that do not follow a predetermined script. The Chinese side's demands regarding the meeting format raise doubts about whether they are prepared to engage in direct contact. If they don't want direct contact, why did the Xi-Communist regime waste the people's money and exhaust the nation's resources to invite the Russian daddy and American emperor over? To play house? Heh, putting cotton trousers over leather pants, there must be a reason. Here it comes again: insiders have already lifted the lid off the pot for you. Xi wants the circle-of-friends effect brought by a historic trilateral meeting, including photos, statements, and propaganda value, but is unwilling to bear the risks arising from losing control over the direction of the dialogue. Understood—putting on a show for the whole world, and by the way, fooling the leeks with 'Amazing, My China!' That's the meaning of it. Just think, Xi Jinping is 'comprehensively and strictly governing the Party' domestically every day. To secure his re-appointment, he struggles day and night in a life-or-death battle with naked daggers drawn; how could he possibly allow diplomatic blunders to hand knives to the anti-Xi forces? Oh, all these theatrical acts are just for continuing to occupy that dragon throne. Biden's Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell commented to The Wall Street Journal that this meeting poses major risks for Xi Jinping, full of unpredictable variables, which is why Beijing prefers to handle its relations with the US and Russia separately, 'trading for some benefits from both countries individually.' Still dreaming the Chinese dream, trying to cheat both sides and profit from both ends—if the three families sit together, their cover is easily blown. Sources familiar with the operation of the CCP's top echelon also said that Old Xi's core work right now is political purges, personnel decisions, and the succession issue. At such a time, holding major foreign affairs meetings without a predetermined script is simply too uncontrollable. The steamed bun cannot bear such variables. Once an impromptu performance goes off-script, losing big face in front of the whole world easily leads to shitting oneself in public. Let's hope Old Xi goes all out and challenges the limits of his own improvisation. Will this highly anticipated trilateral meeting be canceled by the CCP, or will it follow Old Xi's expectations with the three giants reciting their little notebooks together, or will it completely spin out of control with someone making wild impromptu remarks? Let us wait and see.

As the saying goes, the current situation is indescribable and the future is unpredictable. Anything is possible, and of course it is possible—meteor showers and falling stars have already parachuted into Beijing, so anything else could definitely bring a big one. The leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—Xi Jinping, the argumentative wheat-carrying champion who self-proclaimed to be a real man—expressed that he is not afraid of thieves stealing, but rather of rebels keeping their eyes on him. Walking with extreme care and light steps, he sneaked into the meeting commemorating the 160th anniversary of the birth of Sun Yat-sen. Why on earth did they discover once again that something is wrong with his physical condition? Ah-pfft, not a single accident for two days and early on the third, you tell me whether this real man's little physique is rotten or not. Compared with the similar commemorative meeting 10 years ago, the CCP's Sun Yat-sen birth anniversary commemoration meeting on November 12 showed multiple abnormalities. Note that the abnormalities here specifically refer to the Steamed Bun's health. A similar situation appeared in another place: this October's Long March commemoration meeting also showed abnormalities compared to the previous Long March commemoration meeting ten years ago. Both waves of abnormalities have been identified, confirming the outside world's speculation that Xi Jinping's health is much worse than before. The 150-year goal is far out of reach, and the day when Old Xi's physique completely collapses is getting closer and closer. Epoch Times reporters reviewed information officially announced by the CCP and found that Xi Jinping's speech at this meeting commemorating the 160th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birth was one-third more concise than his speech ten years ago in 2016. That is so much—with punctuation marks included, it barely squeezed out 4,005 characters, whereas in 2016 he spoke 6,215 characters, and he gave that speech standing up. Oh, the character count decreased by a third, and the man even sat down—plop, he sat right down—and even with that, he was still wheezing and panting. Furthermore, the 2016 Sun Yat-sen commemoration meeting was broadcast live simultaneously in full on television and the internet, whereas the 2026 meeting—which is just this recent one—not only only had a recorded broadcast, but was also released in the form of news, with graphic news and short videos rolling out in staggered reports, and CCTV's general channel actually canceled the full simultaneous broadcast. Understood, this is out of fear that something might go wrong during the process. There is also an equally glaring example: the Long March Great Escape commemoration meeting. On October 21, 2016, ten years ago, at the so-called 80th anniversary meeting commemorating the “victory of the Long March,” Xi Jinping spoke while standing; on October 22 this year, plop, he sat down. Oh, ten years ago, reading from the little booklet was all done standing up; ten years later, reading from the little booklet is all done sitting on a stool. Moreover, Xi Jinping's speech at the “Long March” commemoration meeting 10 years ago exceeded 9,700 characters in full, while this year's speech was only around 3,000 characters—less than one-third of what it was ten years ago. Wait a minute, Old Xi's vital breath probably hasn't been left with only one-third of the original, has it? You sure know how to scare Emperor Didi! You just have to calculate it this way. CCTV's broadcast method was also different: the 2016 “Long March” meeting was broadcast live in full, while this year's “Long March” meeting had no live broadcast on site. Total reverse driving plus downsizing, getting worse year by year. China affairs expert Li Linyi analyzed that as long as the timeline is extended and one continuously pays attention to the abnormal conditions of Xi Jinping's foreign visits, it can basically be judged that Xi's speeches changing from standing to sitting, and the length of his speeches being drastically shortened compared to 10 years ago, may be due to health problems, and officials deliberately do not arrange for him to speak for long periods of time. In September, the Steamed Bun sneaked to visit America, and upon arriving at the White House, he rushed into a small side lounge in the West Wing to catch his breath. Using his last bit of strength, he shoved the bayonet-wielding guy Cai Qi aside first. At that time, the US media reported that the lounge usage time requested by Xi Jinping's team from the White House was not a brief rest of 15 or 30 minutes, but 4 to 5 hours. Whether going up or down stairs, Xi Jinping apparently had to grab Peng Liyuan to use as a walking stick, walking together like that, and he even missed the luncheon hosted by the US President. Previously during his visit to India, what he missed was the dinner; he always has to miss some banquet. Therefore, Li Linyi believes that the two major meetings this year did not have live on-site broadcasts, and the only explanation is that the CCP cannot pre-estimate Xi's speaking state—whether it is misreading words, coughing, wiping sweat, closing eyes, or collapsing—and cannot control the impact. Therefore, to minimize speculation, they simply chose not to broadcast live. Who knows how to cover it up with tree leaves properly? The Wall Street Journal reported that during the 2023 “Xi-Biden meeting” in San Francisco, Xi Jinping had a lunch of vanilla ricotta Italian dumplings at a secluded estate in the suburbs. After the meal, Chinese bodyguards uniformly dressed in dark suits immediately collected the tableware and plates Xi Jinping had used, and also sprayed them with some unknown liquid, not ruling out clearing or destroying microbiological information to prevent Xi's biological information from being collected and analyzed, thereby grasping Old Xi's health condition. Alas, Old Xi does not know that his real terminal illness is paranoia. To hit the nail on the head, this single illness is what brought about subsequent symptoms such as cerebral stroke, brain tumors, cirrhosis, lymphoma, and secret surgery. As for walking with feet crossed, a crooked neck, insufficient vital breath, and frequent blinking, they can only be regarded as complimentary buy-one-get-one embellishments.

Anyway, what the common people care more about is, with the meteor shower falling from the sky, who exactly is it coming to pick up? We don't know who specifically, we only know that according to rumors in the Jianghu, the former crown prince Hu Chunhua, who had long been considered sidelined, suddenly appeared in a high-profile manner on the rostrum at the Sun Yat-sen commemoration conference on the same day. He just showed up; Hu Chunhua made a surprise appearance on the rostrum, appearing on the same stage as Xi Jinping and Li Qiang. You were absolutely right. On November 12, at the "Sun Yat-sen Conference" where the clouds of doubt from the Fifth Plenary Session had not yet dissipated, two unusual vibes hit us: Hu Chunhua's high-profile return and Xi Jinping's speech on Taiwan, which tasted soft and chewy, highly suspected of being a subtle way of backing down. I also discovered another unusual atmosphere: they refused to broadcast the whole event live. I don't know if they were deliberately covering up Hu Chunhua's high-profile appearance or covering up information about Xi Jinping's illness. It's back to the start again; it's completely treacherous and unpredictable, impossible to guard against. First, let's talk about Xi Jinping's speech. While continuing to shout about the reunification of the motherland, he repeatedly emphasized that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family, peaceful reunification, and dialogue and consultation, even promising to fully consider the reality of Taiwan and take care of the interests and feelings of Taiwan compatriots. It was full of appeasement, deception, and seduction—feeding them a love potion laced with arsenic. The key is that all members of the Politburo Standing Committee attended this conference, along with representatives from all walks of life and Sun Yat-sen's family members, totaling over 3,000 people. The lineup was impressive. After Hu Chunhua, who had been the subject of widespread rumors, made a surprise appearance on the rostrum, looking at him, his mental state seemed much better than at the Fifth Plenary Session. I guess the organization has thoroughly investigated and found that the red-covered constitution he was rumored to be holding when entering the venue was actually a CPPCC notebook. Better tuck it away quickly. Independent commentator Cai Shenkun previously analyzed that the possibility of Hu Chunhua being purged by Xi Jinping again is minimal and meaningless. In his third year as Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, which was 2015, Hu Chunhua bowed to Xi Jinping and clearly stated, "I have no intention of succeeding you," and sent his secretary away. I cannot agree with this. Everyone on Earth knows how Hu Jintao was dragged out at the closing ceremony of the 20th National Congress by the Steamed Bun (Xi Jinping). It was because Brother Tao discovered that the agreement for Hu Chunhua to join the Standing Committee had been secretly changed by Old Xi. Hu Jintao couldn't believe his eyes at the time and wanted to take a closer look. Do you remember that Li Zhanshu, the one who was coordinating, slammed his hand down on Brother Tao? This led to the incident where Xi Jinping personally directed his bodyguards to drag away his predecessor, while Hu Chunhua crossed his arms, angrily enjoying the humiliation and bullying alone. With a hopeless Hu Chunhua and a terminally ill Xi Qingfeng, is there anything left to watch in this power struggle at the end of the Red Dynasty? The answer is: No, no, no, passed. Tea friends.
