Could Xi Jinping have suffered a serious ischemic stroke?

This article discusses rumors about Xi Jinping’s health, including suspected ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction), long‑term hypertension and a history of heavy drinking, and combines these with the severe drinking culture and lack of faith in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) bureaucracy to analyze the current atmosphere of fear in Chinese politics, power concentration and a political countdown. The article also mentions the sluggish Chinese real‑estate market, the huge economic pressure on ordinary people and the social reality of a housing bubble burst.

Hello, audience friends, I’m going to talk about another topic. Now a report from Beijing says Xi Jinping may have suffered an ischemic stroke, which is what we usually call a cerebral infarction. Based on his current performance, this is news coming out of Beijing. Over the past two days, starting from yesterday, I have been talking with some professional doctors and friends about this matter. They share a common view that he is very likely already experiencing a mild to moderate cerebral infarction. Ischemic stroke accounts for about 70‑80% of all strokes, while 20‑30% are hemorrhagic strokes, which are even more severe. What causes ischemic stroke? One cause is hypothyroidism, a reduced thyroid function. This was mentioned in a case that surfaced last year that many doctors commented on as a “false diagnosis.” The second cause is long‑term hypertension. Xi Jinping also reportedly has Alzheimer’s‑like symptoms, such as occasional hand tremors, which can currently be treated internationally. The long‑term lack of proper medical care is a rumor coming from Beijing.

He usually has a high tolerance for alcohol. When he was younger, he liked to drink excessively. It is said that he could drink one or two bottles of Maotai at a time, often more than one bottle per meal. His self‑control is quite poor, which is normal for people from Henan or the Northwest, where heavy drinking is common. I often travel to those regions for business, and it’s normal there. In the south, especially Shanghai and Guangdong, people rarely drink. In Shanghai, people say they can drink two or three liang of yellow wine, which is relatively low‑alcohol. In my hometown, we usually drink half a jin or a full jin of yellow wine, and heavy drinkers might have two jin. For strong liquor, around 50‑52 degrees, they might drink half a jin.

In the north, they measure by “ping” instead of “liang.” When I went to Beijing, I learned they count a half‑bottle, a full bottle, or one and a half bottles as a “ping.” In the north, most drinking is of strong liquor. Northern people understand this. In the Northwest and Inner Mongolia, drinking is even more intense. I once traveled to Inner Mongolia for business, to Wuhai. There, an ordinary official—say, a director of a bureau—would be received by the mayor and party secretary in a hotel banquet room. Other officials would be in separate rooms. When guests arrived, they would bring out liquor to toast the guests, especially those who came from far away, and to toast the leaders. This is a common Chinese bureaucratic custom. In the south, they usually serve small glasses of white liquor in small cups. In Inner Mongolia, when a person enters, they are served a whole bottle of white liquor. Back then, they drank high‑proof liquor, but later, as officials tried to preserve their health, they switched to lower‑proof, higher‑quality liquor, around 40 degrees. A typical banquet would involve one bottle per person. I asked the officials how many bottles they usually drink during a meal, and they said that loyal officials often drink two to three bottles per meal. It’s intense.

When we work on projects that last two or three years, after the project ends, we often hear that some of those officials have died from drinking. In the CCP bureaucracy, many officials die from excessive drinking. In my more than thirty‑year career, I have encountered at least ten officials I know who later died from alcohol‑related causes. They were essentially risking their lives. So, drinking is a pervasive culture in the CCP. When people talk about Xi Jinping drinking, it is very normal, especially among lower‑ and mid‑level officials. The higher the rank, the more intense the drinking. Some officials, dressed in suits and ties, will drink two or three bottles, even four, especially in the north. Once you enter the CCP, you may hear things that ordinary citizens cannot understand, but anyone who has actually worked within the CCP bureaucracy knows this.

Therefore, Xi Jinping appears to have a “drinking face.” He lives day by day as if alcohol is his only relief, and he also relies on medication to anesthetize himself. Now, at 74 years old,

If a person regularly exercises and pays close attention to his health, he would definitely not be in the condition he is today. Xi Jinping now walks so poorly that he can barely move. If you let him walk properly, even a lap around a venue, you can see it. Once, when Trump visited China, they were walking in the square in front of the Great Hall of the People. I specifically observed his mood that day; his condition was relatively good. He accompanied Trump, tightly escorted the three armed forces, then walked to the children’s side where everyone waved flowers to welcome Trump. That day was fine. Usually, when you watch him walk, he does not look like a normal person. For example, when he exits a venue, his gait now resembles Mao’s in his old age. Xi also has a bit of what Mao had. After Mao died, many of Mao’s doctors and staff recalled that Mao was surrounded by many women whom Jiang Qing could not even see. He did not allow Jiang Qing into his room or his entire area. When Jiang Qing wanted to see him, she had to go through Wang Dongxing. Those people were like today’s Cai Qi, I estimate that Xi’s life is similar now. Do you know that Peng Liyuan tries to see him, but she may not be able to? So I say, Xi’s current state can be traced back to his cause: belief. Think about it—people without true belief become like this. Humans cannot control what they believe; belief provides a framework that shapes behavior. Therefore, for a whole nation, if the country or the people have a belief, preferably a common or similar belief, everyone’s thoughts, actions, and consciousness become very close, even identical, and major conflicts do not arise. However, now all of China lacks that. Some often say, because I am a Christian, that China lacks belief. Look at what the Communist Party has done; ultimately, the CCP will eliminate true belief. When the CCP dies, we will study how it died, and the ultimate cause is belief. When we talk about the United States or Western societies, they are belief societies. With good, conscientious beliefs, there is no need to worry. Europe, for instance, used to be a large Roman or Persian empire, but after its fragmentation, there are no major wars. You can travel between countries almost without border checks; there is no concern about Germany fighting Belgium or Italy. The European Union’s unity is caused by shared belief, which created modern civilization, ending wars and conflicts. Now look at the current CCP, fighting the West, India, Japan—these are all belief issues. This country lacks belief. Xi is an extremely unrestrained, belief‑less person who kills and tramples human dignity and life at will. The Communist Party has killed so many because it lacks belief. If the Party claims to have belief, think about it: if the Party’s belief is the devil, then the Party is the devil, Satan, embodying evil. Any belief that leads to killing innocent, living people is evil. Therefore, Xi, up to now, is a fool who doesn’t even realize it. When Xi eventually dies, he will die because of the word “belief.”

So now Xi, at 74, shows no remorse. An ordinary Chinese worker retires around 60, Party officials maybe 65‑70, yet Xi at 74 still tightly holds the three major powers: state president, Party chairman, and military commander. A country of over a billion people faces the whole world daily, and he has no time to sleep. He constantly thinks about how to deal with others and how to protect himself. In a program I mentioned, a capital’s radius of 300 km has no complete bans; imagine reaching this point. Xi lives in constant fear—fear of others and fear of himself. If Xi falls, China collapses, the Party collapses. He is just like Mao, who refused to relinquish power even as he neared death, without a designated successor. The notion that Hua Guofeng was a reliable successor is nonsense. A real successor was planned years ago, but now Xi is in a countdown. His symptoms of ischemic stroke are fully evident, and reports from Beijing indicate he faces imminent threats. He can only force himself to survive, believing he won’t die and might live to 150, ultimately harming the country.

The Chinese people now live in darkness. During the reform era, people worked hard, but after reforms, many left state‑owned enterprises, losing the “iron rice bowl.” Previously, a few dozen yuan a month bought enough rice for a family; even with minimal food, they survived. Now, despite many housing policies—extending mortgage terms from 30 to 40 years, lowering down‑payment ratios, fully opening the market—no one buys. The lack of confidence in the government and the unstable job market have left many retirees relying on pensions of three to five thousand yuan, sometimes up to seven thousand. A household income of ten thousand yuan can still support a family, but now property is taken by the Party, and families remain indebted to the Party, tightly controlled. After all the so‑called “real‑estate stimulus” policies, the market shows no rebound and continues to decline, with massive selling and buying pressure.

There is absolutely none. You have a house hanging in that place, and only two or three people come to see it in a year; that would already make you quite impressive. Some people have it hanging for a year. I have many friends whose houses are hanging in that place, and for one or two years no one comes to look. In a residential complex, for example, in the past when you sold a house, at that time when the real estate market was good, everyone thought prices would rise. You put a house on the market today; maybe five or six people will come to see it the next day. Now, the house you put on the market stays there for half a year or a year without a single visitor, no inquiries at all. Who would still lock themselves into buying a house now? No one is buying. How far have ordinary people come? Children cannot even afford a new home for marriage, so they discuss among themselves which old house they could take. Compared with the past, when the economy was not affluent, it was similar because once you lock a house in, you’re stuck. Look at the old houses in Shanghai now. I asked about places like Tianning area, near Xujiahui, those old public housing units that used to cost over a hundred thousand yuan per square meter. Back then it was insane. Those houses were already old and dilapidated, then prices fell, and now they are still around sixty to seventy thousand yuan, fifty to sixty thousand yuan. Do you know the real price of these houses? The real price should be two thousand yuan, one thousand yuan per square meter, two thousand yuan per square meter, because the construction cost of a new house is only about thirty thousand yuan. Think about it: those houses have been lived in for decades and are basically uninhabitable; the ceiling height is only 2.65 meters, the bathroom is about a little over one square meter. I know this from my own family house from many years ago, the 1970s. Those houses from the 1970s are not livable houses; they were priced like that. You will see that next year or the year after, as long as Xi Jinping remains in power, these houses will be priced at forty thousand, thirty thousand, twenty thousand, fifteen thousand yuan. Ultimately, ordinary people cannot afford them. Of course, this is because of Xi Jinping, so now there is a divine endorsement, a blessing for Chinese ordinary people. You see, Xi Jinping’s sudden emergence has serious business implications, especially health issues. So the Chinese people are truly blessed, the Chinese people are blessed. That’s all for this topic. I have been talking these past two days about Xi Jinping’s health issues. These health issues involve all Chinese ordinary people, even international relations, and the changes in the world’s political landscape may be linked to Xi Jinping’s health problems. Thank you all for watching, see you in the next topic.
