Multiple sources confirm Dong Jun has been arrested! Xi Jinping is once again purging the military high command with great intensity.
This video, hosted by Hu Liren, analyzes the disappearance and reported detention of Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun. Through various channels—including sources within the Beijing military, updates from Xinhua News Agency and the Ministry of National Defense's official website, and the anomaly of Dong Jun's absence during the Russian Defense Minister's visit, where he was replaced by Zhang Shengming—the host confirms that Dong Jun was taken from his home to assist in an investigation. The analysis suggests that Dong Jun's investigation may stem from suspected ties to anti-Xi factions or Xi Jinping's suspicion due to Dong's close relationship with Peng Liyuan. The program points out that Xi Jinping's massive purge of high-ranking officials he personally promoted reflects the extreme fear and internal infighting within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Hello, viewers. For the past two days, I have been closely following the news regarding the Dong Jun incident. I have already made two videos about Dong Jun's disappearance. Dong Jun has not been seen for about fifty days. I have been tracking this through some connections in Beijing, and as you can see, there was a very important event yesterday that Dong Jun did not attend.
Look, yesterday the Russian Defense Minister—take a look—Zhang Shengming met with the Russian Defense Minister at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. As you can see, Dong Jun did not appear. You would think the Russian Defense Minister would be matched by the Chinese Defense Minister. Zhang Shengming, as a Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, is a rank higher. Under these circumstances, if Dong Jun were functioning normally, he should have at least co-hosted the meeting with the Russian Defense Minister. However, from various aspects—first, I did not see Dong Jun in the news reports from Xinhua News Agency.
Second, I inquired through various sources in Beijing, and it is true that Dong Jun did not attend this meeting. That is two aspects. Third, Russian news also reported on this meeting, and Dong Jun did not appear. There was no Dong Jun. This is confirmed by three parties; Dong Jun did not appear. According to sources in Beijing—military sources—Dong Jun was taken from his home about a month ago. That is to say, nothing happened at his office; no incident occurred at his workplace. He was taken from his home, and after being taken away, the current situation is that he is assisting in an investigation.
Xi Jinping has started to target him. Xi Jinping has no one left to arrest; the people he is arresting are all those he promoted himself. He does not dare to arrest the anti-Xi faction now. If he arrests them, the other side demands their release, just like what happened with Hu Chunhua. Hu Chunhua is safe now; he is already safe. I believe that the incident where Hu Chunhua was taken away and later released was actually very significant, very significant indeed. This means that the anti-Xi forces might now have strength on par with, or even greater than, Xi Jinping's own faction.
However, I estimate that Dong Jun still has some distance from the anti-Xi forces. Now, to protect Dong Jun, there is probably only one person: Peng Liyuan. I have told you before that Dong Jun is Peng Liyuan's person, and Dong Jun's relationship with Peng Liyuan is very good. Precisely because their relationship is quite close, when Xi Jinping promoted Dong Jun, he actually had reservations and concerns as well. In various aspects, because he wasn't very familiar with Dong Jun's background, Peng Liyuan and Dong Jun had a very good relationship. Moreover, their ages are very close, and it should be said that the two of them share many compatible topics of conversation. But Dong Jun is different from Xi Jinping; Xi Jinping is somewhat like an illiterate bandit, whereas Dong Jun can be considered half a scholar and an intellectual. Dong Jun's writing skills were also very good in the past, very good.
It seems people in the military say that Dong Jun's Russian language proficiency is extremely strong, extremely strong. Back in the day when he was in the troops and at the Naval Headquarters, he used to specifically translate some military matters and materials of the Russians. This is a characteristic of Dong Jun. He doesn't know English; he studied Russian previously, so his learning capacity is extremely strong. Now, to protect Dong Jun, I estimate it is Peng Liyuan. I estimate that Peng Liyuan is currently suppressing the matter, urging Xi Jinping not to announce Dong Jun's situation right now. Currently, with Dong Jun detained, I estimate Xi Jinping is now investigating Dong Jun on several fronts.
First, does Dong Jun have any ties to the anti-Xi forces? Is there a connection? Xi Jinping is now extremely terrified of whether anyone in his faction has historical ties to these anti-Xi people. I think that with so many people in the military now opposing Xi, it should be said that he does have connections with people in the anti-Xi forces. Because of this point, he might have been caught by Xi Jinping with leverage, and that is why Xi Jinping is moving against him.
Let me tell you again, yesterday and today on the Ministry of National Defense website, all of Dong Jun's information for 2026 can no longer be seen. Only some old information from 2025 remains. Just think, a Minister of National Defense—he is the Minister of National Defense—yet not a single piece of information about him for 2026 can be seen on the Ministry of National Defense website, not even the Xiangshan Forum that they hold every year. The Xiangshan Forum, I believe, is hosted by the Chinese Academy of Military Science. When the Xiangshan Forum is held every year, they invite military representatives from all over the world to discuss defense matters and conduct research. Dong Jun attended the Xiangshan Forum this year, in September.
This video was actually posted on the Ministry of National Defense website back in September, because for the Ministry of National Defense, this is also a very major event for foreign exchanges. Now, this video has also been deleted, and I can no longer find it. I had previously seen this video featuring Dong Jun attending and speaking; even footage of Dong Jun is gone, having all been deleted. Therefore, this is confirmed from various aspects.
First, from information coming from some military and high-level official sources in Beijing, Dong Jun can no longer be contacted. Dong Jun has not appeared in his office or workplace for about several weeks now, and nobody knows where he is currently. After Xi Jinping detains someone, he is quite sneaky; once people are locked up, they suddenly vanish. After disappearing, so far no one dares to ask about it. Right now, everyone within the internal ranks of the CCP lives in fear and works in fear. Xi Jinping's regime is a country of fear, a country of fear! He makes everyone feel that their personal safety is at high risk, at very high risk. This kind of approach is just like Mao's approach in the past, just like Mao's approach in the past. He demands that everyone must obey him, must obey him, and cannot have the slightest disagreement with his opinions. Therefore, when dictators talk about and bring up democracy, it is nothing more than a joke; it is simply a joke.
Look at Dong Jun; he was the one promoted by him. Dong Jun was suddenly promoted after Xi Jinping came to power in 2013. Afterward, he served as a major general, lieutenant general, and general, progressing very quickly through these three ranks. Originally, it seems he might have only been a major general before, but then he was promoted, rising to the highest rank. Now Dong Jun is a full general, which is the highest military rank, plus the title of Minister of National Defense.
Look at Dong Jun; there was a period when he was extremely prominent, which was when Trump arrived in China. When Trump arrived in China, US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth—the counterpart to China's defense minister—appeared at that time with Dong Jun in Xi Jinping's reception team, while Zhang Shengmin did not appear. Zhang Shengmin did not appear. Look at this time when the Russian Minister of Defense came; Zhang Shengmin appeared. Logically speaking, it should have been Dong Jun acting as the counterpart to Russia, and furthermore Dong Jun can speak Russian and could freely communicate with him, yet Dong Jun did not appear. Dong Jun did not appear, and this is extremely abnormal, extremely abnormal.
Also, on the other hand, there is some information from within the military, that is one thing. Second, right now, we can only judge what is really happening to this person through these news reports. Right now I estimate that Xi Jinping hardly dares to arrest those who are against Xi anymore. What kind of people is the so-called Xi arresting now? They are all people connected to him. These people were previously thought to be Xi's people, members of the Xi faction, who were promoted after Xi came to power, and were promoted very rapidly. Now they have already been arrested. Of course, within the Xi faction, there are also various factions, such as the Zhejiang clique, people coming from Fujian and Zhejiang. I estimate that if Xi Jinping continues down this path, he will start arresting Zhejiang people, meaning his closest people, the ones closest to him.
I have been talking about Dong, I have shown you this video, I have seen this. Dong Jun, I once said, Dong Jun is a very dangerous person, very dangerous. Several months ago, five months ago, I already said that Dong Jun is very dangerous. Back then, how did I come to make this episode of the video? Five months ago, destined to escape being purged? Look, this was from five months ago. Why did I make this video back then? It was because I got some information in Beijing, I got some information through friends in Beijing, that Dong Jun is not favored by Xi Jinping. Although he was promoted by Xi Jinping, Xi Jinping has always treated him as an outsider, as an outsider, meaning he has not truly integrated into Xi Jinping's team, into the core team. At that time, Xi Jinping was probably just using Dong Jun a little bit.
So for a person like this, why did he promote him and yet not reuse him? Then he definitely has reservations and misgivings about him. In this case, once entering the purge channel, once the Chinese Communist Party, once Xi Jinping leads the Chinese Communist Party into the purge channel, a person like Dong Jun is very likely to be purged, very likely to be purged. At the time I also knew, and I learned very early on, that Dong Jun and Peng Liyuan were walking very close back then. Now, I am not a rumor-mongering media outlet either, nor is it possible for me to engage in this kind of gossip—how Dong Jun and that Peng Liyuan are this way or that way? But I can only tell everyone this, that their relationship is definitely not ordinary, definitely a betrayal, and the two of them had a very good relationship. To what extent it was good, I do not know either. So this time, if Xi Jinping has arrested Dong Jun, then it's possible, one possibility, that it is a personal grudge; you walk too close to my wife, so he might develop suspicions about you. I think Xi Jinping definitely has this kind of mentality, this kind of mentality. That is one. Second, it is Dong Jun, he has been suspecting all along, that Dong Jun has contacts with another faction of his, a faction opposing him, and has communications. So he is very worried that if something happens, Dong Jun might turn against him. This is the current situation of Dong Jun right now.
As for whether Dong Jun will be officially announced suddenly, I think, if he has already been arrested for several weeks, nearly a month, if there were to be an official announcement, it is almost time. Let's look at the situation over the next two days, to see if Peng Liyuan puts pressure on Xi Jinping. If Peng Liyuan puts pressure on him and Xi Jinping can let him off the hook, then I estimate Dong Jun cannot possibly return to his original position either. After a while, he might step down, because this matter has already been laid out in the open, and you have already been—like Dong Jun has already been taken away, taken away for several weeks. In this case, Dong Jun also understands very well that in this position, even if I come out, I cannot stay in this position either, I cannot stay. I am definitely completely at odds with Xi Jinping; his view of me, he thinks Dong Jun's view of me is completely different. Everything is laid out in the open, so these people inside the Communist Party are all engaged in vicious struggles, it's all about life and death, all within a hair's breadth. This kind of Communist Party group is an evil group. There is not a single person—once you take office, once you enter the political movement channel, during this period, you really can be completely wiped out anywhere, anytime. Completely wiped out, Dong Jun is just such an example. Look, Zhang Youxia is also such an example, right? It is very likely that Dong Jun will become the second Zhang Youxia.
Xi Jinping has now arrested people like crazy, he now suspects everything, suspects everything. If he continues like this, he is going to blast all his own people away, blast them all away. Well, let's keep paying attention, pay attention to the news about Dong Jun, and see if he will appear in the next couple of days. But his behavior is already extremely abnormal, extremely abnormal. In any case, people in the military or people inside the Communist Party are already very clear about this. This situation with Dong Jun is extremely unusual.
Look at this guy Dong Jun, I have mentioned him before, I have told everyone. I just told everyone that Dong Jun's Russian is very good, especially when, for example, the Russian Minister of Defense comes, after he arrives, if Dong Jun receives him, they can communicate completely. Look at Zhang Shengming, this is completely different. Zhang Shengming, this is Zhang Shengming. Since Zhang Shengming appeared, logically Dong Jun should also have accompanied him, because this is the standard protocol. Just like when Hegseth came to the United States, when the U.S. delegation came, the national delegation came, after Hegseth arrived, Dong Jun appeared, this is the standard protocol. But this time there was no standard protocol at all. Xi Jinping is crazy! Xi Jinping is crazy! The infighting within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is becoming more and more intense. Look, now it is entirely possible to arrest anyone within the CCP; who knows, one day Xi Jinping might be arrested, it is very possible. Now that the CCP is like this, everyone is messing with each other, it is very interesting. In this way, for the common people, it is very possible that something will happen, and suddenly, the whole country, the entire CCP will suddenly collapse. Alright, I have to continue on my way today, thank you all for watching. If there is any new news, I will make another video for everyone. Thanks again to everyone, see you in the next program.
