Americans all say. You heard my voice, audience friends, hello everyone. I am for today's US only collecting 57 small days.

Yesterday, a private video of Pan Shiyi discussing Ren Zhiqiang went viral within the Great Firewall, and was subsequently banned across the entire internet. Currently, Pan Shiyi, Ren Zhiqiang, and eleven people have all become sensitive words. First, let's take a look at this video.

In September 2009 to New York, the return ticket is ready, just ready to spend the Chinese New Year here. After the Spring Festival, I went back, and then one of my friends had an accident. This friend has a very good relationship with me, so, I see I am also very dedicated. On Weibo, we were like a singing duo, interacting every day. He wrote a letter, and this letter was sent to the first of the eleven people, the other people were discovered, I was in the United States, this team, we.

From the way the video was shot, it is obviously not a Bi Fujian-style secretly filmed video. Pan Shiyi never said the three words Ren Zhiqiang from beginning to end, but he used good friends, his great respect for him, and their singing duo on Weibo to refer to him. What he is talking about is the open letter mentioned by Pan Shiyi in the Ren Zhiqiang video.

Ren Zhiqiang wrote a long article after the outbreak of the Wuhan pandemic in 2010, covering up the information blockade in the early stages of the pandemic, criticizing the authorities for packaging the disaster as an institutional victory, and pointing the finger at the General Secretary himself. The article wrote: "Standing there is not an emperor showing off his new clothes, but a clown who insists on being an emperor even after being stripped naked. Although holding high one fig leaf after another, trying to cover up the reality that he is not wearing any clothes at all, it does not hide his ambition to firmly be an emperor and his determination to destroy anyone who does not let me be an emperor."

In March of that year, Ren Zhiqiang lost contact. Six months later, on the 22nd, the court sentenced Ren Zhiqiang to 18 years in prison for four charges: corruption, bribery, misappropriation of public funds, and abuse of power by personnel of state-owned companies, and fined him 4.2 million RMB.

Some netizens commented, could it be that Pan Shiyi deliberately leaked it to prepare for future political asylum? Some netizens also said that Pan Shiyi coming out to speak as a half-immortal at this time is most likely because the tax make-up and domestic property matters have not been settled. Why did Pan Shiyi choose this time and this way to call out to the CCP? What are the key secret codes in the video? Why would this kind of video become his backup plan to deal with the CCP? Today, we bring you an episode to make a detailed analysis and report.

A public figure who has rarely appeared in public for many years was suddenly rumored to have appeared at a legendary gathering. Is this really a criminal liability appearance? But starting from a video of a document that was initially leaked, recently, multiple bloggers forwarded footage of the White House banquet showing a short-haired woman standing next to Peng Liyuan as facing criminal liability. The main reason given is that she sat close to Peng Liyuan at the main table watching the performance with a relaxed demeanor, and when entering and leaving, she also followed closely beside General Xi and Peng Liyuan. Some people claimed based on this that a secretary and translator could not possibly have such treatment, and this woman must be Princess Xi visiting incognito.

Netizens also forwarded footage of Peng Liyuan and the so-called Princess Xi visiting an art museum. "Red and blue, gold is, for the visits of some government officials. Thank you for your very good Chinese. January 15, 2006, at fifty-two years old, still an unsuccessful designer, is one of the most famous artists in the United States."

Some of the circulated photos were also clarified to let people see the appearance of this woman very clearly. A netizen used a walking twelve-year aperture, and under the comparison of the photos of the woman appearing beside Peng Liyuan at the gathering more than once, the answer given by GPT was that the two are very similar. However, this emotional distance and judgment cannot directly prove a family relationship. This woman might just be Peng Liyuan's translator or accompanying staff member.

As for the woman seen sitting next to Peng Liyuan in the first video, it may actually be a visual difference, as that woman was actually sitting obliquely behind Peng Liyuan. An image shows that the person sitting next to Peng Liyuan was Apple CEO Tim Cook. The guest list for the state banquet provided by the White House briefly states her position is Peng Liyuan's secretary, not a translator. However, the list itself cannot prove that she is the woman in the video. Judging solely by the location and time where this woman appeared, she looks more like Peng Liyuan's exclusive translator.

What do you all think, is this mysterious woman Princess Xi or a female translator?

Please leave a comment in the comments section: the CCP cannot censor foreign media lenses. During the analysis meeting, a footage that was not filtered out was interpreted by netizens as Peng Liyuan's jealousy overcoming diplomatic etiquette. In the video, Xi Jinping was visiting the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art and was communicating with First Lady Melania. Melania brushed her hair aside with her hand, and as a result, Peng Liyuan immediately walked over to Xi Jinping and casually pushed him away.

Netizens joked: "The Mother of the Nation says look at the cultural relics, don't always look at Trump's wife." Some netizens also said that Peng Liyuan might just want to get closer to take a closer look at the products. Ladies and gentlemen, do you think Peng Liyuan was looking at the exhibits or her husband?

Please leave a comment in the comments section: sharp-eyed netizens observed that the joint meeting banquet insulted China, regarding the thermos cup placed on Xi Jinping's table being a Japanese brand. On the evening of September 24, at the White House state banquet, a black thermos cup and a white thermos cup were placed in front of Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan respectively. The trademark on Xi Jinping's cup is suspected to be the logo of the Japanese brand Tiger, and although covered with tape, it can still be identified.

Netizens joked: "On one hand fooling people into boycotting Japan, on the other hand using Japanese products. Don't trust domestic products, or just unwilling to use them?"

What do you say, ladies and gentlemen? At this gathering, another detail noticed by the vast majority of netizens was that song sung at the state banquet, Dueros's mother-in-law, you can hear the people singing. This song was sung by many people during the Shanghai hundreds of revolutions, and was also sung during the movement among the Hong Kong masses, and it is a popular song domestically. As a result, after the performance ended, Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan also smiled and applauded, which made netizens laugh and say: "Turns out Americans are the same."

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, companies usually give welfare to employees, but as a result, some employees didn't get to taste mooncakes before tasting the flavor of formalism first. The Mid-Autumn Festival welfare of a Shenzhen company was not a bonus, but a mooncake cut into four pieces. When distributing mooncakes, people were specially sent to remind employees nearby not to take too much and not to give tips. Many netizens found it amusing, joking that at least they could still receive a complete mooncake, complaining that welfare is originally a holiday gesture, turning it into one bite per person is just a consolation.

A BYD worker in Shandong showed the mooncakes distributed by the company in the factory cafeteria, and as a result, the mooncakes were as hard as stones and could not be smashed open even with force. Netizens joked: "It would be great if the crash beams of BYD cars had this kind of hardness."

Huawei's mooncakes encountered another kind of complaint. Recently, multiple netizens claiming to be Huawei employees reported that they experienced diarrhea after eating the mooncakes distributed by the company, some sought medical attention, and reminded colleagues not to taste the sweet flavor, also claiming that someone internally created a shared spreadsheet to record the reactions after consumption. Netizens said mooncakes are actually tools to test the bodies of the working class; those who don't get diarrhea stay, and those who do get left behind are trampled on.

A Hebei netizen posted the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts distributed by the company, and as a result, the mooncake box was empty, and the red envelope was also empty. The mooncakes and pieces issued by the company, although empty, the red envelope was the same. In order for us to put the following takeaway riders each holding an empty mooncake in their hands, they all lined up in several rows to take pictures for commemoration, full of formalism. The phone rang, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, if it doesn't make me feel that the work unit issued welfare, I guess, I didn't go home for the welfare issued by the unit.

There is no harm without comparison. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, a Danish boss specifically went to a local Asian supermarket to buy a box of mooncakes for the only Chinese employee in the company. Netizens joked: "Beware of the sugar-coated bullets of foreign forces; the mooncakes in Danish supermarkets don't have the additives that mooncakes are supposed to have, so they aren't authentic."

During the back-to-school season, students in other countries are busy learning knowledge, while students in China are busy with rights defense (weiwen). Recently, thousands of students at Xiapu No. 1 Middle School in Fujian protested collectively, demanding the cancellation of evening self-study sessions before the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Participants claimed that the school threatened them with disciplinary action and set up barriers to stop them. It is reported that the students' demands were not met, and they went home.

"I want to ask, I go home, am I still me going home? After that, I know, I all go home, I go home, go home I know I went home."

After a dormitory fire at the Dalian campus of the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts on September 19, students revealed that the school quickly arranged for personnel to paint over the blackened walls to destroy evidence. The school only compensated students with one quilt and three free laundry sessions, without responding to issues such as the lack of alarms and evacuation drills at the time of the fire.

Later, students at Nanning Vocational and Technical University revealed that two dormitory balconies on the seventh floor had no railings, yet students were still arranged to move in. The school only put up a warning tape on the balconies, and the rooms had serious safety hazards. Netizens sighed that they don't take students' lives seriously at all.

On September 22, a student in Jiangxi revealed that the direct drinking water on campus costs about ¥2. Netizens complained that 300 milliliters of water for ¥2 isn't even a full cup, which works out to about ¥7 per liter, about the same as 92-octane gasoline.

Formalistic education in Chinese schools has always been uncomfortable, and now it is being resisted by some parents. Recently, a parent publicly opposed the "command education" (kouling jiaoyu) targeting first-grade students, emphasizing that children need equality and respect.

"Welcome all leaders to Class 12, all students stand up. Greet the PE teacher in turn. When the bell rings, go by yourself. Who is quiet? I am quiet, calming the heart. 5-6-7-8, shut your mouths, do not participate in dangerous activities."

This is a message sent to me by a first-grade primary school teacher. It means that when children enter the first grade, they have to practice these rules from the beginning, and they also have to practice these commands. I communicated with him a lot, and then I asked him one question: I said, if it were you, if you were an adult, and I gave you a set of commands, would you execute them? Would you be willing? And then I wasn't given the command thing. I have fifteen classmates; I know many parents might still support it, thinking this is about rules and habits.

I am telling you today, this is not something that needs commands; pets need commands. The pet cats and dogs you raise need commands; the monkeys in the circus, the little bears in the circus, these performances need training and commands. We are people, we don't need commands; people need equal and respectful treatment.

So when I asked this teacher, he didn't answer, for example, he couldn't answer. Help me think about it, I give you commands, are you an adult? Where are the leaders? What kind of master are you? Now this child has just entered the first grade, he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, he can only obey, what can he do? If you keep practicing this, what do you think the consequences will be? The things you teach others, if they were turned around and applied to you, could you stand it? If you wouldn't be willing yourself, and you engage in this kind of behavior, is this the behavior of an educator? Is it the behavior of a teacher?

Netizens complained that packaging obedience as discipline, and then packaging discipline as education, is slave-making education.

Next, we enter the foreign media on China segment. Once, two pandas could break the ice in US-China relations, and even put a cute filter on the whole of China. But more than fifty years later, the problems between the US and China are becoming increasingly rigid, and pandas can no longer shoulder the heavy responsibility of diplomacy. The Wall Street Journal has made a relevant report.

The report says that during Nixon's visit to China in 1972, China gifted two pandas to the United States. Against the backdrop of the Cold War, Americans were unfamiliar with and wary of China; the two adorable pandas provided a warm and friendly image of China and became a symbol of the normalization of US-China relations.

Last week, Xi Jinping announced during the Washington summit that a pair of giant pandas would settle at the Atlanta Zoo, and once again claimed that pandas are messengers of friendship between the people of the two countries. Previously, during the low point of US-China relations in 2023, Xi Jinping had already played the panda card. But today's US-China relations are completely different from the Nixon era.

The Wall Street Journal pointed out that Americans' understanding of China has become more profound, and more and more Americans view China as a competitor or even a threat. Associate Professor of Political Science at the National University of Singapore, Chong Ja Ian, believes that in the past, panda diplomacy helped to downplay the China threat theory, but today US-China relations are more complex, with both sides engaging in serious competition in areas such as trade, technology, and security, and the effect of this kind of public diplomatic performance is no longer significant.

50 years ago, two pandas could symbolize the breaking of the ice between the US and China; 50 years later, with trade wars, tech wars, and geopolitical competition on the table, cute pandas can only be responsible for being cute, not for diplomacy.

Xi Jinping announced at last week's summit that he would invite 100,000 Americans to China for exchanges and studies over the next 5 years. However, this is not as simple as just promoting US-China relations. The author of "Red Roulette" analyzed this, saying that one of the important goals of the General Secretary is to influence how these young Americans view China.

Many American students may have studied Chinese for a few years, yet they do not understand how the CCP's propaganda system, censorship, the June 4th incident, the Cultural Revolution, or the United Front work. Once they enter China, what they see as the "real China" is largely carefully orchestrated. Chinese officials call these programs windows for young foreigners to understand the real China.

The problem is, if Beijing truly wants foreigners to understand the real China, why do foreign journalists face various restrictions when reporting in China? The answer is that a professional journalist arriving in China can identify what is propaganda, censorship, and political signaling. They will not only look at the information Beijing allows them to see but will also notice what Beijing does not want them to see. Journalists also know which people, which history, and which issues have disappeared from the official narrative and why.

When a nineteen-year-old American exchange student may be completely unprepared for this, their school curriculum, visiting locations, people they interact with, and even their itinerary may be pre-arranged. If they do not understand how the CCP operates, it is easy to mistake the CCP's carefully crafted propaganda for the real China. This is an excellent opportunity for Beijing to conduct public diplomacy and export its own narrative.

Xi Jinping proposed in 2013 to invite 50,000 young Americans over 5 years. Chinese officials claim this goal was met 2.5 years ahead of schedule this year. Now, Xi Jinping has directly expanded the next round to 100,000.

However, a very interesting counter-strategy has been vividly proposed: if Xi Jinping invites you, then let the American students go, but do not go unprepared. Before the students set off, they should first learn about CCP history, the Cultural Revolution, June 4th, propaganda censorship, and how the United Front works. After arriving in China, do not just follow the official pre-arranged routes.

More importantly, these young Americans should also be able to explain to Chinese people what freedom of the press, judicial independence, and freedom of speech are, and why Americans can openly criticize their own president.

Dear viewers,

What other preparations do you think American students need to make

before going to China?

Please leave a comment in the comments section.

Trump took Xi Jinping to the U.S. National Archives, but what was specifically observed was almost completely ignored in mainstream Chinese reporting. The reason is that the historical documents displayed are viewed in Chinese diplomatic memory as extremely humiliating documents.

Harry Gao, a law professor at Singapore Management University and a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation in Canada, analyzed this. First, the formal name of the 1844 treaty is the "Treaty of Wanghia" (Treaty of Peace, Amity, and Commerce between the United States of America and the Chinese Empire), but it is widely regarded in China as the first unequal treaty between the U.S. and China. The 1858 Treaty of Tientsin is also viewed in a similar way.

Second, a letter from the Guangxu Emperor to President Cleveland in 1895. This letter thanked the then-U.S. Minister to Beijing, Charles Denby, for his mediation in the Sino-Japanese negotiations during the First Sino-Japanese War. However, Denby also pressured the Qing government to accept the later disastrous Treaty of Shimonoseki, which forced the Qing government to cede Taiwan to Japan, becoming a representative historical event in China's so-called "Century of Humiliation" narrative.

Third, and most notably, is the 1951 Treaty of San Francisco. Last November, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning publicly stated that this treaty excluded major WWII allies like China and the Soviet Union, with the purpose of bypassing these countries to sign a separate peace treaty with Japan. The Chinese side claims this violates the basic principles of international law. Therefore, Beijing's position is that any content in the Treaty of San Francisco involving Taiwan or Chinese territory and sovereignty is completely illegal and invalid.

In Beijing's view, Trump displaying these historical documents is by no means just giving everyone a casual history lesson; it is more like a warning to China, hoping Beijing will continue to make concessions in the future. No wonder Chinese state media barely mentioned Xi Jinping's visit to these historical documents.

Next, let's look at a few absurd videos. Little Pinks spreading rumors to be patriotic still cannot become "Zhao family" members. Here, a Chengdu Little Pink gave a passionate speech on the street, thinking that promoting patriotism would gain official recognition, but unexpectedly, they were stopped and driven away by police as soon as they started speaking.

"So please look at our country. What is your problem? Petitioners, they will all be there, they won't let you go. A day has passed, I have to go. I have to be good, you people are looking for you." Netizens pointed out that the "red line" crossed was the phrase "The Chinese people should unite," which in the eyes of the authorities is a precursor to inciting the masses to cause trouble.

China's "tofu-dreg" (shoddy) construction projects are being exported to Uganda. A Ugandan mayor inspected a shoddy project contracted by the Chinese state-owned enterprise, China Communications Construction Company. Netizens pointed out that this mayor had also accused Chinese employees of shoddy work by the state-owned China Railway Construction Corporation a few years ago.

"Power, ransacked many of his past works. I remember I went to see it at the time, I don't know. He understood it even less. In order to build and develop his headquarters, although he is not Support, this is now a netizen." Someone joked: "What the mayor doesn't know is that they build them the same way in China, or even worse."

At the end of the program, we enter the netizen interaction segment.
