[Lude Media] 9/25/2026

Xi Jinping visited the United States and met with Trump, discussing issues such as trade, the Iran crisis, and AI control. During the closed-door meeting, Trump took Xi Jinping to visit the US National Archives to examine historical documents including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, a Great Wall brick, early Sino-US treaties, and the Treaty of San Francisco.

Hello friends, welcome to today's Lude Media Dr. Yan Show on September 25, 2026. Today, Xi boarded a plane and left the United States, and Trump also posted on social media, eagerly saying, "Ah, the two of them have finally left!" Wow, although today's meeting was short, lasting only about an hour or so, including tea and going to that archives, it was just over an hour. But truly, I tell you, our audience members, today we had a double history lesson, absolutely. I'm telling you, online now, because reporters have obtained the list of archives they secretly looked at in private today from sources! Oh my god, after looking at it, really today.

Wow, so exciting! As we said before, coming to the US to let you look at the National Archives is knowing you lack culture, but I still have to give you a lesson, right? Guaranteed to teach but not guaranteed to make you understand, do you remember I mentioned a few things? I said surely, America's what, this uh Constitution, uh this this Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights these will definitely be talked about, and then including this is estimated to bring up the Taiwan issue, then the Treaty of San Francisco will be brought out, right?

Today, according to the names of this document that came out, both of these are inside, absolutely not what the CCP said about having the Sino-US Joint Communique, ah the Chinese Exclusion Act, ah this kind of long-standing relations between China and the United States, documents that made great strides after diplomatic relations with the US under the leadership of the CCP, those have nothing to do with it, it directly matched up with what we said. But I didn't expect, America's arrangement is after all their own archives, they are familiar with it, and who is the current director of the archives?

Although it is an acting director, it is Rubio! Ah, Trump partnering with Rubio for this matter, oh my god, today is simply perfect! Let's wait a moment and talk about it properly for everyone, it's so interesting! First, everyone take a look, this is us showing everyone, Xi got on this plane, and then directly turned around, uh, this saluted, uh, this paid respect, and then took off. President Trump wrote on social media: President Xi Jinping and Madam Peng Liyuan just left Washington, D.C., and are returning to China. This meeting was a meeting full of friendship, strength, and success, for both China and the United States.

We will meet again in China in November for APEC, ah, and then meet in December at the G20 Summit in Miami, Florida. A lot has been achieved, and even more will be achieved in the future. I look forward to our next meeting. He said this meeting thing was when Xi met today, didn't they first drink tea in the Red Room? And while drinking tea, Xi himself faced the media for a minute or two, uh, expressing his stance, he said, ah, this uh welcoming Trump to APEC, ah, and he will come to this G20 right? And Trump also expressed affirmation.

So, ah, what everyone can look forward to next, besides the midterm elections, uh, the results of the midterm elections which everyone is looking forward to, then certainly is this November Russia will also go, Trump has now also confirmed he will go, a tripartite meeting, how thrilling that is! Ah, watching two people meet together, today was lively enough. The past few days, all of us have been like celebrating a holiday, right? Ah, yes, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, ah, yes, today is the actual day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, right? Hey, the time over there in China is now evening, and it hasn't passed yet, no wait.

Evening, morning, well, whatever. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which has just passed back home, right? Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunion, and good health. Alright, let's take a look. Xi didn't get to eat mooncakes here, did he? He came here and had a sort of arm-wrestling, secret showdown with Trump, and ended up returning empty-handed in the rain. Oh, Trump said.

The next time, three people will meet—the Big Three! Wow, think about how much good drama there is to watch! Don't think that just because it's Xi's home turf, he can escape it. Also, regarding the APEC thing—uh, no, not APEC, the G20 thing—Rubio also officially invited Putin, right? Putin said earlier he wouldn't come, but that might not be certain; maybe he'll come again during the upcoming G20, which makes it hard to guarantee the three of them won't meet together after all? Now thinking about it, extending the trade agreement by two months is actually quite interesting. Think about it: November, the trade agreement expires on November 10.

So you're telling me the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is 100% not going to keep its word, right? Oh, the CCP won't keep its word again. If Trump still goes to meet Xi at APEC, what is he going to say when they meet? Oh, you broke your promise, so be it? Letting the whole world see that the US doesn't dare do anything to you—that doesn't hold up. If Trump doesn't go, didn't Putin suggest the Big Three meeting for nothing? We are still waiting to see the good show when the time comes. And then you say the G20 in December, right? So you say if there wasn't this extended trade agreement.

Will Xi come or not when the time comes? Xi would say, since I have nothing left to talk to you about regarding the trade agreement, I'm not going, right? That wouldn't look good either. Now I've figured it out: this is meant to place the two upcoming meetings right into this time frame just before January 10. That way, after January 10, if Xi doesn't make a complete gesture of kneeling down, whatever the US does, it will do; it will be very convenient, and there won't be these awkward moments from two intermediate meetings, or some things that are hard to handle, or we wouldn't get to see a good show, right? We're still waiting to see the Big Three's good show.

So the mystery behind this two-month extension is right here. Alright, and then regarding this, didn't the Lude Media also talk about it this morning? Didn't Trump even post a tweet saying he had a very effective meeting with President Xi Jinping? It's a tweet like that—how is it effective? We've all seen it. The New York Times, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, and others that were originally planning to beat the drums and cheer for him couldn't even spin anything out anymore. But why did Trump say it was productive? Doesn't that mean?

It was very productive, just not the kind of productivity the CCP wanted. Today, Trade Representative Greer came out to say that China and the US are currently in a managed trade state, negotiations have made progress, and details of the trade negotiations with China will be announced on Monday. In this round of negotiations, export controls related to China and discussions on national security are not within the scope of the negotiations. We have reached an agreement with China on a portion of goods that can be traded.

See that? Although the details aren't out yet, Greer has already said that those things you want me to talk about—relaxing export controls that harm US national security and smoothly executing your unrestricted warfare—are off the table. Isn't that just what we said? I feel like almost all our predictions hit the mark this time, and I feel so happy. Moreover, Greer's meaning is that we only talk about tradeable goods, such as soybeans, or things the US wants that you are still required to export, right? As for China saying—remember a couple of days ago we talked about playing that E-something trump card, and wanting the US to relax these controls on chips and so on.

I'm telling you, the US simply ignores you. Oh man, truly, that's why Trump said it was productive—my productivity has nothing to do with you. As for you saying there are still some goods that can be traded, for example, your CCP always says, oh, the US is celebrating Christmas, and this year there won't be as many Yiwu small commodities exported to you. I'm telling you, the US can reach an agreement with you on these things; they are trivial matters. Does buying a pair of socks or underwear need Trump to personally intervene? Right? Alright, let's look further.

The US Ambassador to China tweeted today, didn't he? Saying that Trump warned Xi Jinping that any form of support provided to Tehran is unacceptable. And over the past couple of days, the US has been paying attention because the war in Iran, actually, especially Iran's president, right? He even went to Fox News for an exclusive interview. After participating in an anti-Trump and anti-US rally just before, he turned around and asked the US Office of Foreign Assets Control for protection; after getting protection and just cursing the US at the UN General Assembly, he turned right around and went to Fox News, right? To accept an exclusive interview. Fox News arranged this exclusive interview for him, you tell me.

What is his true background? Can't you even tell? Ah! If he were someone whose mouth is full of wanting to kill Trump, would Fox News dare to arrange this exclusive interview for him? So here, Iran's President Pezeshkian explicitly said, "Ha, stopping the war depends on the US," and also said, "We don't want nuclear weapons," and even said, "The CCP takes our oil and doesn't even pay us." Just listen to that.

Trump told Xi Jinping that any form of support to Tehran is unacceptable. The cards in his hand are so many he can't even grasp them all in one fist, I'm telling you, right? Is Iran still asking for cards over there? Are they still asking? We have nothing else in our hands; right now, we just have the meeting gift. And besides, look, the CCP is still not cooperating with the US's aviation blockade against Iran.

Beisen has emphasized this repeatedly! I am sure that Trump definitely talked about this during this meeting as well. Including, look at the newly released news today, Iraq has also indefinitely suspended flights to and from Iran, meaning that people from Iraq can no longer go to Iran either. Then how can you go to Iran for pilgrimage? Because the holy site of the Shia, Najaf, is a place of pilgrimage, right? The mausoleum of the Shia Imam is right here, and even such a major religious matter carries huge significance. Iraq has now made up its mind to directly suspend flights with you, right? At worst, you people will just have to walk there.

This shows that the influence of the United States is right here, and the UAE is no exception. The UAE has also announced that, regarding this with Iran—let's see, I might not have included that news over here. The UAE also announced today that these direct flights are suspended, so Iran can forget about going to the UAE as well. The money has already been transferred over, but the people haven't made it yet, just think about Iran.

Didn't the money mainly go to the UAE before? Although you might say that under the current U.S. strikes, I believe it's impossible to strike every single target so comprehensively. Before the suspension of flights, there should still have been a portion of Iran-related funds that hadn't been completely frozen. They might still have been holding onto some hope, but once this flight suspension is implemented, right? And then with visa controls and things like that, doesn't this simply mean:

The people are still there, but the money can't be taken out? Because you have no way to go over and withdraw money, and then they set up online financial services to be canceled on the web, right? Isn't it interesting, huh? Why else would you say the UAE is cooperating so happily now? Who wouldn't want to? They get to eat and profit at the same time. And wasn't it about that AI thing? It's said that Xi Jinping also approved changing the name to Super Intelligence, because yesterday, weren't so many attending participants—well, not participants, those attending the state banquet were big shots from high-tech enterprises, so early this morning Trump posted this tweet, and furthermore.

He also mentioned that an agreement has been reached with Xi Jinping regarding the regulatory issues surrounding the development of this super intelligence. He said that this entire issue concerns the future of the U.S. and China, and concerns the future of humanity, so cooperation must be strengthened and dialogue maintained. Then the news released to the media said that although it's not the so-called legislation proposed by tech giants to directly restrict or censor—meaning it's not what we call.

Controls like speech censorship, but currently, looking at both sides' statements, it should be similar to an emergency hotline between the Department of Defense and the Department of Defense, between militaries, so that everyone avoids miscalculations, and when something happens, you promptly report it, equivalent to the management style of the Cold War. Hey, there's nothing wrong with this, right? Okay, then do you remember yesterday when I gave you.

This final point, I said there was news that China brought a small handful of entrepreneurs or CEOs over after all, and those were CEOs who had already obtained U.S. visas. Exactly who they were, I don't know, but anyway it wasn't a delegation of ten thousand representatives. But whether that bunch of CEOs could actually attend the state banquet depended on how Xi and Trump's talks went. Haha, there is now a follow-up to this news, hey, not a single hair was seen. Look, VOA directly wrote that the heads of multiple U.S. tech companies attended the White House state banquet, but Chinese entrepreneurs were nowhere to be seen. Doesn't nowhere to be seen mean?

To be honest, the United States simply doesn't give you the time of day! Since the talks didn't go particularly well, right? I didn't plan to carry out any in-depth developments with you regarding Chinese entrepreneurs coming to the U.S. to invest and set up factories either. Hey, I also didn't plan to go to your country to increase investments or anything with entrepreneurs of the Chinese Communist Party, so don't come in. The space was limited to begin with, right? You might say, hey, then why did Jensen Huang go, and even Zuckerberg? Well, you don't say.

Regardless of whether they are Xi's people or not, at least they are U.S.-registered companies and are subject to U.S. legal control, understand? As for you people from the Chinese Communist Party, who are simply white gloves, you shouldn't come over. So look at this point, and you'll know whether Xi managed to fool Trump into coming here? At the banquet, all the serious business that needed to be talked about had already been discussed, because today's meeting was actually just for show.

Right? So when you see this news, you feel it's just too interesting. BYD, Xiaomi, CATL—hey, not a single shred of face is sold to you! This has resulted in the fact that right now, those helping Xi sing praises hardly know how to spin it anymore.

So much so that many of these external propaganda outlets now have to add a sentence at the end of their reports saying: Of course, ah, the news that several Chinese executives flew to the U.S. at their own expense waiting to be invited to the White House dinner came from the South China Morning Post, and we cannot verify it. See that? Leaving themselves a way out, too hilarious! You're saying Chinese executives could really just pay their own way over to attend Xi's banquet if they wanted to? How is that possible?

Then alright, let's take a look, inserting an episode here: this morning, this should have been yesterday oh, not this morning, but yesterday noon, right after Xi visited the White House—well, not visiting the White House, but after attending this military parade ceremony at the White House, the White House released a series of photos. A total of eight pictures from two tweets were captured here, and I wanted to show everyone what the White House's perspective looks like. This picture is quite good, this picture has no problem either. Then the crucial one is this.

Look, as for this later part, yes, the part above is meaningless. Yes, the most interesting one is this photo, which is that Trump actually took Xi to—I shouldn't say 'actually,' because this photo is also a historical moment, right? Aside from that photo of the assassination attempt where he was shot in the ear, Trump also took Xi to see the photo of the moment he was shot and the attempted assassination.

Hey, did you notice? You can't really tell Xi's expression in this one. They specifically cropped a photo of Trump earnestly explaining it to him, and Xi is staring at it, looking thoughtful. But think about it, I just told you all about this on the show a few days ago: the U.S. is currently investigating, and news has broken that the shooter received unknown funding, and someone even claimed his body. The connections behind this shooter are not simple at all. So you see, Trump took Xi to look at this photo, and the White House specifically released it.

It's not a simple gesture! Ah, don't look at Xi; I tell you, he definitely didn't react that much. His brain doesn't react as fast as Trump's. With so many things happening in a series, right? Whether he has figured out what he was blabbering about the day before, it's hard to say. You see, he's still smiling. Alright, and as for the CCP, well.

They are desperately trying to brag that Xi has the upper hand in the U.S. During the banquet last night, didn't Xi have a toast? Trump had only spoken halfway through before he didn't want to continue and just went off-script to read, right? He even brought up the CCP's 6,000 years of history. Trump mentioned it again today, saying, 'You CCP folks have 6,000 years of history,' and Xi was listening, feeling all smug. The problem is, which of us Chinese has ever seriously heard of this '6,000 years' claim?

5,000 years, that's already counting with interest, isn't it? 6,000 years? Xi is counting backward; the Sanxingdui history they are struggling to compile from 3,000 B.C., and Henan is rushing to dig up bronze artifacts—they haven't even compiled it to 6,000 years yet! In total, it's only just reached 5,000 years, and it's not even fully compiled. Trump just hits them with: 'Hey, you have 6,000 years of history, we can't compare, we only have 250 years, there's a bit of a gap.'

Wow, saying it like that—isn't that just saying, 'You're great, you're great, you're the greatest!' 'You're so amazing! Xi Jinping, you're so tall, you look like you're three meters tall,' isn't that the feeling? Ah, it sounds both insincere and full of sarcasm, right? Alright, so you have this '6,000 years,' and then Xi's speech yesterday, well.

Xinhua News Agency specifically published the full text, and Xi was there again, sigh, repeating these clichés, right? The problem is, look, at the banquet yesterday, this draft specifically mentioned Ping-Pong Diplomacy, Nixon sending the redwood trees, the Americans helping with desertification, and then mentioned the Hump route fighting side-by-side, and so on and so forth.

Logically speaking, if the U.S. really wanted to review this with you, wouldn't all these things be in the archives today? Heh, the problem is, when we talk about which archives were looked at later, you'll know why Trump didn't have much to say to Xi in the end—he just went off-script, 'I'm too lazy to even read this to you,' he didn't even bother with the formalities. And then, the moment Xi boarded the plane today, Trump immediately tweeted, 'Finally finished this chore these past two days,' that's the feeling. Alright, and the key is, look, Xinhua News Agency, for some reason, had to insist on this.

After the state banquet yesterday, they added, 'Ah,' they added before and after the banquet that, in Washington time, Trump and Xi held talks at the White House yesterday, and Xi Jinping emphasized that the U.S. side should handle the Taiwan issue with caution, saying that the Chinese side's position on safeguarding national unity and territorial integrity is very clear, hoping the U.S. will firmly oppose Taiwan independence, take the correct position, and handle the Taiwan issue with caution to lay a solid foundation for China-U.S. strategic cooperation and the development of both countries.

Ah, the U.S. actually, did you notice? They haven't mentioned Taiwan to you at all these past two days. Why? Because the main event was saved for today, to show you in the archives. The CCP is talking about Xi telling the U.S. to handle things with caution. The U.S. is saying, 'I'll let you see how I handle things with caution. I'm very cautious; I'll take out the original historical documents and start from the First Sino-Japanese War, believe it or not?' Ah, alright, let's stop here before we get to the archives and go through it in order.

Because it's too fascinating. They say Xi went to say that these past two days, because he wanted to show that he has prestige coming to the U.S., right? It's said that people back home are all bragging, saying that back in '23, when Xi went to San Francisco to meet Biden, Xi's Red Flag limousine—of course, it was a Chinese driver—specifically when making a U-turn, before Xi got out, right in front of the red carpet, the car made a U-turn so Xi could step right onto the red carpet.

They wanted to brag, saying, 'Look, our driver is so skilled, he almost hit the American soldiers.' The American honor guard was standing there properly, but when the car made the U-turn, it drove onto the red carpet and almost hit the American soldiers, so they had to step back. You're even proud of that? Ah, it really gives one a feeling of being barbaric and uncivilized! We're not even talking about Xi's chauffeur; even if you replaced him with a provincial party secretary's driver, they wouldn't go to some event and, while making a U-turn, hit the guard standing outside. So, this kind of arrogance, this kind of overbearing attitude—you're actually proud of that?

The Trump administration really didn't show the slightest bit of mercy with the arrangements they made for you this time, right? Yesterday's state banquet—the Lu De Media already talked about it this morning. Let me add a few more details that weren't mentioned yesterday. First off, let's talk about it: yesterday we gave everyone a quick run-through of the menu at the very end, right? Everyone knows it, which tells you that American style was the main course, and the Chinese Communist Party was just the side dish. There was none of that high-end lobster, red meat, truffles, or caviar. They just gave you these things—well, nice and simple. Would you say sea bass is high-end?

In mid-range restaurants, what Americans eat is Chilean sea bass, right? High-end as it is, it's still not as expensive as a tomahawk steak. I guess—because I remember at the better restaurants I've eaten at, sea bass is just a dish priced at a few dozen dollars, and I've never seen a main course selling for over a hundred dollars, right? Not to mention that yesterday it was even served with baby bok choy and grilled eggplant. We have no idea how anyone came up with that combination for a dish, do you? Then at the beginning, they let you drink some pumpkin soup. Speaking of this pumpkin soup business, when we finished our broadcast yesterday talking about it to the end,

I suddenly remembered, there's actually a story behind this pumpkin soup! Ah, "Red rice and that pumpkin soup, autumn eggplant tastes so fragrant." Isn't this typically the Chinese Communist Party—especially after Xi Jinping took power, this kind of stuff they love to brag about, the "recall past bitterness and think of present sweetness" meal? Our overseas audience friends, and also our audience friends from Taiwan, might not understand, but if you take this "recall past bitterness and think of present sweetness" meal concept and put it on.

That internet search, there are plenty of versions.

Basically, they are all based on this pumpkin soup, cabbage, and eggplant, you see. For example, if you just randomly find a few for everyone, right? As for the autumn eggplant, coincidentally the autumn eggplant is also what Xi came to eat this time. At that time, it was written right inside here that this was a "recall past bitterness and think of present sweetness" meal put together by some sub-district office in Haidian, right? Ah, used to cleanse the intestines of these people who are stuffed and bloated with food. It specifically talked about why it's red rice and that pumpkin soup? Because this is a representative of Jinggangshan; during the revolutionary war period at the time of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Jinggangshan produced red rice which was both cheap and coarse, and then eating it would fill you up, right? Later on, all the red rice was eaten up—meaning that coarse and cheap rice was all gone—and they could only boil pumpkins to eat, because.

The pumpkins in Jinggangshan were soupy, big, numerous, and cheap; as long as you boiled them in water and added a little salt, they were fragrant. Turns out, Xi Jinping went to the United States to "recall past bitterness and think of present sweetness"? Come on, let's show everyone, I purposely found a few more from different angles. Look, isn't this it? Regarding carrying out ideological and political education classes for military training, the Red Army meal is also specially emphasized—hey, what is this called? Accompanied by the ballads of "Red rice, pumpkin soup, digging wild vegetables as food," the simple Red Army meal entered the classroom, with the staple food being red rice.

Corn and sweet potatoes are optional, right? Then the dishes are boiled cabbage, old tofu, autumn eggplant, pickled radishes, and green beans, choosing two out of four. The dishes have less oil and salt, making the experience as authentic as possible. Hey, I calculated, this White House meal arrangement is simply fantastic! Inside here, the pumpkin soup is the first main course, and then out of the four choices they picked a main vegetable dish plus an autumn eggplant, and paired it with that sea bass over there! All of a sudden, this got matched up again.

Turned out to be pumpkin soup mixed with cabbage and eggplant as one dish, and the White House split it into two dishes for you to eat. Is that how this game is played, huh? Ah, come on, this includes Xi, actually back then after he took power, he immediately started pushing this patriotic education stuff right there. In 2014, the whole internet was full of him running off to somewhere like Gutian back then to eat Red Army meals. It started right from that time, and then everywhere he went he was recalling past bitterness and thinking of present sweetness. I remember someone like the fourth wife of the Gambling King also leading her company's people to Jinggangshan to wear Red Army clothes, walk the Red Army road, and eat "recall past bitterness and think of present sweetness" meals, and so on, right? Hey, just like this big platter meal, uh, this pumpkin, ah, what is this cabbage and eggplant?

We have to say Xi is really familiar with this! Ah, I wonder if last night at this White House state banquet, when he saw the pumpkin soup and these tender cabbages and eggplants, whether he thought of the "recall past bitterness and think of present sweetness" meals that he spearheaded? I'm literally laughing to death! It's one thing for other people not to be familiar with it, but if he's not familiar with it, that really wouldn't make any sense, right? By the way, ah, I specifically went to look up how this "recall past bitterness and think of present sweetness" pumpkin soup is actually made, and then upon looking it up, I found out that isn't this just identical in essence to that first dish on yesterday's White House menu?

With only minor differences? Ah, look, and remember yesterday how that dish had wild mushrooms put in it, plus a few bits of bacon, ah, said to be this creamy soup? Hey, actually it's just spoken in that French style which sounds very nice, but translated into down-to-earth language, what the White House gave was simply a finely blended, American-style small yellow pumpkin vegetable soup, hey, blended very thick, and then you put in some fried mushrooms, make some.

Bacon bits, and then dripped two drops of scallion oil for you, hey, just a bowl like that. Speaking of pumpkin soup with scallion oil, I wouldn't think it tastes particularly good just thinking about it. But of course, it definitely has less oil and salt, fitting the essence of recalling past bitterness and thinking of present sweetness, right? Just look at it—this "recall past bitterness and think of present sweetness" pumpkin soup recipe, isn't it also mushrooms and onions? Add some curry powder, flour, chicken broth, milk, boil it then pour in pumpkin slices, and add salt, black pepper, cook thoroughly, and then afterwards add some honey. Who knows, this might even have slightly more ingredients than that creamy soup from the White House, except that it just didn't have those few bits of bacon, that's all.

So you tell me, what on earth is this if not recalling past bitterness to appreciate present sweetness? And then, as we were discussing this, yesterday's song "One Day More," right? I have to say a couple more words about it. Not everyone is familiar with "One Day More," but when you watched the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement back then, including the Umbrella Movement in 2014, the song "Who Has Not Spoken" was actually set to the same tune with different lyrics. Strictly speaking, because "One Day More" is a medley from the musical *Les Misérables*, a part of that chorus melody from "Who Has Not Spoken" is actually blended into it.

Even if you haven't seen the musical *Les Misérables*, you should at least know this, especially after the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement in 2019, when "Who Has Not Spoken" was banned from being sung in mainland China. I remember Teacher C A Lego and their lovely children specifically adapted this tune to pay tribute to the protesting people of Hong Kong, right? Therefore, this song is definitely one of the most famous melodies from Hong Kong at that time.

Just think about the lyrics of "One Day More," right? Doesn't it directly say right here: I will join the heroes, following them forward without looking back. Do you hear the people sing? My place is here, I will fight side by side with you. Do you remember the chairman of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services saying that Xi is an unelected dictator? Since you are unelected, let me ask you, where is the voice of the people? So you see.

Over there, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said, "You are unelected, just like Maduro, right?" Well, right here, they play music for you: "Do You Hear the People Sing?" One day more, time is running out, the countdown is on! You're about to be sent to the guillotine and the courtroom. Oh my god, this song is really fitting, right? Ah, and it was just short of playing "Glory to Hong Kong," wasn't it? The key point is.

Xi Jinping, what are you showing off? Why did it have to be such a coincidence? When you visited France in 2024, wasn't it right there in front of Macron that you showed off Hugo's books? You've basically read them all! Look at what the CCP's party mouthpiece, People’s Daily, boasted about: Chairman Xi's great masterpiece of a European tour had such an explosive and shocking power, and it was all about Hugo's works, because didn't he give Macron a copy of Hugo's *Les Contemplations*? Oh wait, no, it was Macron who gave Xi Jinping a copy of Hugo's *Les Contemplations*, and then Xi Jinping smiled and said he had read almost all of his books.

I think Trump's arrangement of the details for this entire Trump-Xi meeting must have used Super Intelligence. This running gag and cross-reference—the last time a running gag was this dense, requiring textual research and interlocking, it had to be *Dream of the Red Chamber*! When people do textual research on the last forty chapters of *Dream of the Red Chamber*, they put in this kind of effort, right, it's similar, because there are always a lot of foreshadowing and subtle clues. But Trump played this absolutely masterfully, look at this, the key is Xi.

He actually hasn't bragged a little about this whole *Les Misérables* thing. In Xi's most famous book-listing episodes, there was one about feeling the shock of Hugo's works, especially the scene from *Les Misérables*. Previously, Xi Jinping had said on various occasions that when reading *Les Misérables*, he felt shocked at the moment when Bishop Myriel redeems Jean Valjean. Right, just as the title says, great works have this kind of explosive and shocking power, and literature conveys the Dao. This is something your CCP country loves to brag about yourself! Ah!

Let's take a look, Trump definitely echoed this for you! You need to know that the specific plot mentioned by Xi Jinping and the musical *Les Misérables* have a causal relationship in terms of context. Hey, our audience friends may not all be familiar with the specific details inside, so let us explain this part a little bit. You should know that *Les Misérables* is about redemption, resistance, and the intertwining of fates, right? Such an epic masterpiece.

So what it talks about is the cause—the bishop's redemption—which triggers the soul's redemption afterwards. Initially, Jean Valjean stole bread and served nineteen years in prison, and after getting out, society shunned him, so the bishop took him in. Then, when Jean Valjean went on to steal the bishop's silverware, not only did the bishop not accuse him, but he even saved his face by saying, "Ah, that was something I gave him myself, right?" Then he told him, "At this moment your soul has been redeemed by God." So later on, Jean Valjean changed his name and desperately turned over a new leaf, because he was truly redeemed. And that led to.

Later on, didn't Jean Valjean become the mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer? And even later, in order to protect his adopted daughters from being engulfed by the flames of war, struggling with whether to flee Paris the next day, because of the seeds of love and kindness planted by the bishop back then, he ultimately made that choice when facing the youth uprising, social turmoil, and love. So right here.

I think all that's missing is a pair of golden candlesticks! If I had added golden candlesticks to yesterday's setup, it would have been even more fitting for the scene. In this musical, those golden candlesticks accompanied Jean Valjean throughout his life. So, in the song "One Day More," Jean Valjean sings of his inner struggle and his hope for tomorrow under the witness of the candlesticks, symbolizing the divine spiritual strength the Bishop gave him, which runs through the entire story. Speaking of which, Xi Jinping is still there—what a great, shocking power! We say, you, with your Leninist atheistic communism, how do you have the nerve to talk about shocking power? After being shocked, you still act like this; it just goes to show you are as foul and stubborn as a rock in a latrine!

Right? So it's very obvious, yesterday it was said right to your face, didn't you feel shocked? We played this shocking drum for you. Hey, this revolution and resistance, this voice of the people. As a dictator and authoritarian who has never been democratically elected, as a leader, a head of state, have you felt this? Clearly, Xi, even today, he still hasn't felt it, because this morning, before visiting the National Archives, he and Trump were in the Red Room.

They had some... I shouldn't call it afternoon tea, maybe refreshments, in the White House Red Room. And while they were eating, there was about a minute or two after they finished. Before they set off for the National Archives, they gave the reporters two minutes for an interview. Well, the reporters just listened, because they didn't answer when the reporters asked questions. At that time, when the reporters started the live broadcast, Trump said, "Your plane flies very fast." Xi said, "Our route was from China to Russia, then Alaska, Canada, and then here." Trump said, "That's a very fast route, very good."

Hey, tell me, could the conversation between these two be any drier? People are about to leave, the window is right there, "you fly very fast," does that mean you should roll back just as fast? And look, from China to Russia, Alaska, Canada—isn't this route the same one from the top-secret Central Military Commission document we released, which detailed launching missiles at the U.S. mainland from the northernmost point of Mohe, Heilongjiang? I displayed this map at the Canadian Arctic Summit in 2024, and the Lude Media also showed that map for the first time when discussing the Tumen River issue in the first half of 2024.

Didn't we say back then? Why did the CCP choose that route? Because the CCP thinks that route is the fastest to hit the U.S., going over the North Pole, and you, the U.S., wouldn't be able to react. Why do I feel like Xi mentioning this flight path today is so fitting? It's like that missile just "whooshed" over, right? Then the U.S. defended against it, and then threw it back at you. Anyway, just hearing that one sentence, I tell you, if there were a lot of words—with Trump's performance of being more excited the more media there is—you would definitely hear a lot of interesting dialogue. Trump has met so many leaders.

Whether joking, discussing matters, or announcing something, how could the conversation be so dry? Ah! Then Trump immediately said, "Yes, it's a fast route, very good!" And then he immediately changed the subject, cutting to the reporters very awkwardly! Just facing the reporters, meaning, "Hey, I'm not going to talk to you much!" "Thank you all very much, we just hosted two heavyweight guests, this meeting was very pleasant. I think we have made great progress, both sides have taken an extremely important step, which is very beneficial for both countries. Thank you all very much, thank you to the media for your objective and fair reporting!" Very objective, deeply grateful. See? Even someone as good at talking as Trump had nothing left to say.

Ah, it's just, "Oh, it's really good!" "Hey, the talk went well, very good, very, very good, thank you all too." It's like he couldn't wait to say, "Hey, let's stop talking, let's just finish the rest of the itinerary." And Xi Jinping was clearly prepared; although he didn't read directly from his little notebook, the words he said shouldn't be purely improvised. He started right off with, "Thank you very much, respected President Trump and the First Lady, for the highest courtesies and most meticulous arrangements you have provided for me and my wife. Our visit this time has been very successful, and we feel very satisfied."

Well, that shows it. The B-1 bomber overhead, Xi is also very satisfied. The "recollecting bitterness and thinking of sweetness" meal was also arranged very thoughtfully. The melody of Les Misérables, Xi was also very moved when he heard it. Ah, otherwise how could you say that? How come it feels like everything Trump arranged for him over the past day or so—two days, I guess—he didn't take any of it to heart at all?

Isn't it often said online now that there is a personality disorder called NPD, where whatever you say is your business, but my brain is still on my own track, right? I feel that Xi has also made quite some achievements in this NPD personality trait! Of course, I think the more fundamental reason is that this depends on IQ. For example, if you take a little pug over there, it won't understand either, right? So.

Alright, hey, having said that, then you know Trump is just casting pearls before swine. But it doesn't matter, who says casting pearls before swine is useless? If casting pearls before swine is useless, then why do top-tier Wagyu cattle still eat grass-fed feed? And they say listening to light music makes the beef more tender when raised that way, right? Ah, anyway.

Trump could think like that too, right? I am playing the lute to a cow, and when it is time to serve the menu later, I am playing the lute to a wild boar, right? After I finish playing, the wild boar's meat will be more tender by then, which is not out of the question, right? So look at Xi, emphasizing again below about China and the US steering the ship, and then later they mentioned this matter of meeting, right? Just so lukewarm, hey, Trump, I will go, thank you very much, let's keep communicating, and I believe our farmers will be very happy to hear this news. When you see this sentence, you know how perfunctory Trump was, because.

This time it must have been about continuing to buy soybeans, right? Absolutely, it also said to buy as much as possible within two months. But the problem is, his soybean purchasing part doesn't connect with the flight speed of the plane just discussed, nor does it connect with the gratitude expressed by Xi in this section. Did Xi say here that President Trump and I are leading the farmers in such and such a way, right? So Trump says our farmers will also be very happy. You know that when Trump replies to Xi now, he really feels that saying even one word more is a bother, ah.

Then, ah, talking about the fruitful results of the negotiations, and then moving on to the archives, ah. This trip to the archives is definitely, absolutely the main event! Let me show everyone first, that after arriving, walking in, walking in means first looking at the lobby, because as we said, this whole constitution, and this Declaration of Independence, and this Bill of Rights are placed in this lobby. And then, they are in this bulletproof glass cabinet, see that? They are displayed like this, ah! Look at these several bulletproof glass cabinets, right? Hey, these all have names engraved on them. And then?

Here, because this part is open to the media, later when entering the closed-door session, there are still about ten or twenty minutes, less than half an hour where the media cannot watch. What this sees is the media seeing an expert in the archives introducing to Xi and Peng Liyuan, see that, introducing here, what this is, what that is? Xi even looked like he was finding it quite interesting, right?

And then in this part, after Trump finished leading Xi to see this part, there was a reporter who had a chance to ask a follow-up question when he walked back to the closed-door meeting, the closed-door view of the archives. And then, President Trump turned around and said to the reporter, he said I brought Xi to the US National Archives, saying it right in front of Xi, saying I brought Xi Jinping to the US National Archives to compare the founding histories of our two countries.

We are just making a comparison. Our history is two hundred and fifty years, very remarkable, and we are very proud of it. But they have six thousand years, so ah, six thousand years, uh, they have six thousand years, but between six thousand years and two hundred years, ah, there is a bit of difference. But we are very proud of our two hundred and fifty years. Just after Trump finished saying this, these American reporters directly said that the constitution inside the Chinese Communist Party is not even worth a piece of paper, ah, this Trump.

Saying we are two hundred and fifty years, he is six thousand years. Our constitution is here in the archives for you to see, for you to explain. Your constitution is worse than toilet paper, what do you mean by that? Doesn't this show that everyone understands how much irony there is in here, right? Moreover, then this reporter, ah, asked Trump how the talks went, you Trump just brushed it off with a perfunctory sentence, ah, we had a very good meeting, we really had a very good meeting, good for everyone, good for the farmers, good for everyone.

Trump, such a glib person, met with Xi for two days, and in the end, only left with grateful everyone, grateful everybody, grateful farmers. Oh, I think it's too cute. Hey, if there was any, any little bit of substantive progress, these words wouldn't be so dry, would they? Ah? Yes, is it more substantive than looking at trees last time? That is, ah.

Xi pointing at the tree, one hundred and fifty years, we still have four hundred years not planted here, right? Trump said, I look at you like a tree, with a wooden head, right? Over here, look, in the end, there was also a reporter asking Trump: "Did you mention this Iran war thing at all?" Asking Xi right in front of Xi. Xi couldn't understand anyway, right? I saw that the reporter, that little interpreter didn't dare to translate behind his back, ah. Xi still maintained that little naive smile.

Trump said: "We talked about it, we talked about it, I think we will do very well." Then the reporter said. China is trying to, no, not trying! China is assisting Iran in attacking the US military, leading to casualties. And now, ah, Bessent is still shutting down these money houses and cash institutions related to China, oh. Humph, everyone knows, talking is talking, and the talks went very well. For Xi, how well could it go?

Well, in the middle, having a few dozen minutes of closed-door talks, Trump hasn't told yet what archives he and Xi looked at inside this closed-door meeting. Let's look at this first, put this point first, which is after everything was seen later, including the closed-door archives seen afterwards. Then aren't they coming out together? When coming out, hey, these American media said that previously they had just conducted a historical visit, viewing the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.

Trump clearly enjoyed showing Xi Jinping American architecture and our history. Then, as they walked off the red carpet, right at the foot of the carpet, the two sides parted ways. And did you see that? Trump and Xi shook hands twice, which was very interesting. I specifically clipped the footage. Look, Trump reached out, his hand was underneath, and Xi immediately placed his hand on top, implying, 'I am stronger, I am on top.'

As a result, Trump immediately lifted his wrist! Xi is nearly ten years younger than Trump, but it is very clear that Trump's hand is powerful, so Xi's wrist ended up on top, but he was being held up by Trump like this, and then it just ended up looking like that. Hey, you all take a close look at this shot. See? Trump specifically froze this moment. Did you see it? Who is strong and who is weak—this kind of arm-wrestling-style contest.

Isn't it very clear? Then there is this second handshake here; they shook hands twice in total, and there was a similar scene where Trump reached out to him again later, and you see the same thing—he lifted it up again. After that, they said their goodbyes and so on, and finally, they each went back in their own cars. By the way, there was a small episode yesterday: around the time they watched the military parade, Trump also invited Xi to visit his Marine One helicopter on the White House lawn. The issue is this.

If Trump really wanted Xi to understand this helicopter, couldn't he have just brought Peng Liyuan and Xi from Andrews Air Force Base to that hotel that day? Why make Xi parade around like that, making others look at it and feel, 'Ha, this dictator is causing trouble for our lives,' making people furious, right? So there are many interesting details here. Alright, then let's talk about it—what exactly did Trump show Xi in that archives room?

Hey, a major reporter disclosed it immediately. He wrote on Twitter that a person familiar with the situation told him that the documents President Trump and President Xi Jinping viewed—the documents viewed behind closed doors—included, in addition to the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution in the main hall, the following items. Among them, one was not a document, but a brick from the Great Wall; this was also displayed behind closed doors.

Then, the 1844 Treaty of Wanghia; its interpretation is a treaty of peace, friendship, and commerce between the U.S. and China. Then, the 1858 Treaty of Tientsin; its supplement, which says this is a supplement to the 1844 Treaty of Wanghia. Then, the 1895 letter from the Guangxu Emperor to U.S. President Grover Cleveland, and the 1951 Treaty of San Francisco. And here, he later added, what did he say? He said.

Why does he actually know this? First, a source told him, and second, there is corroborating evidence: the press corps said that originally these items were public exhibits, but actually, before Trump and the others went over, these artifacts and documents were taken away in advance from, for example, public display areas or areas available for viewing. So it is very clear that when you put these two together, wasn't it that before Xi went over, they had already prepared everything they wanted to show him? Once prepared, isn't this just.

A brick from the Great Wall, the 1844 Treaty of Wanghia, the 1858 Treaty of Tientsin, the 1895 letter from Guangxu, and the 1951 Treaty of San Francisco—doesn't this just string together a chain of historical evidence for you? What does it mean? In the public footage earlier, what you saw were the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. These are documents left by the founding fathers during the U.S. nation-building period, establishing all the basic values, the foundation of the system, the legal basis, and the framework for 250 years of American history and freedom. Then you say, why not let reporters take direct photos of the set shown behind closed doors? Is there something about this that makes the CCP feel completely unable to accept it? Of course there is! If you understood it, you would know.

Wow, there is also a 'rice bucket' (idiot) here saying that Xi is definitely not a 'pig head' and will become the greatest monarch in Chinese history! Wow, just for this sentence of yours, let's say, you 'wumao' national treasure, you need to be taken back and given at least fifty heavy blows. Are you praising Xi? Aren't you just engaging in 'high-level black' (sarcastic criticism)? You come out and say Xi will become the greatest monarch in Chinese history. Once the word 'monarch' comes out, doesn't it secretly align with that statement from the Senate Armed Services Committee that 'Xi is an unelected dictator'? So against the trend of the times! And 'Xi is definitely not a pig head'—you have to emphasize this to us, which shows that in your heart, you've discovered that everyone treats him as a pig head, is that what you mean? How could you have such a thought?

Look at how Guo Wengui claimed he was selected as a secret agent at the age of thirteen or nine. Is his teacher really a teacher? Shouldn't he be called a 'big secret agent'? When they asked those children, 'Do you love Chairman Mao?', they all said yes. Why did Guo Wengui come out on top? Because he said, 'I have always loved him, ever since I was a child.' Compared to what you said, and what this wumao or state security agent said—that he is absolutely not a 'pig-headed' (idiot)—you are still tens of thousands of miles away from Guo Wengui's level! By saying this, you are admitting that deep down you know the vast majority of people call Xi a 'pig-headed' idiot, but you want to prove that he is absolutely not one—that he is 100% not one. In other words, even if you acknowledge that there is a 99.999% chance Xi is a 'pig-headed' idiot, you refuse to accept that 0.001%? Is that what you mean? Hey, don't delete this, don't delete it in the small white hands, keep it here as a memento. It is rare to see such cute and ridiculous high-level 'black' (sarcastic) propaganda, such brainless state security or wumao. If you want to say Xi is so amazing that you have to come here to tell us he is not an absolute 'pig-headed' idiot, I really thank you.

Alright, let's look at these documents. Simply put: aren't you always talking about 'not forgetting your original intention'? When Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, did the CCP have anything to do with it? Aren't you claiming that the PRC represents all people and events on this land? Don't you say everything has been yours since ancient times? We don't even need to go that far back. Where were you when the Treaty of Wanghia was signed in 1844? Where was the CCP when the Treaty of Tianjin was signed after the Second Opium War ended in 1858? Do you know that after the First Sino-Japanese War, the Guangxu Emperor wrote a letter to the then-US President Cleveland, asking him to help mediate the demands made by Japan on the Qing government and to negotiate a ceasefire?

By the way, that was after the entire Qing dynasty navy, which claimed to be one of the most powerful in the world, was completely wiped out. Two days later, Guangxu wrote that letter to Cleveland. In other words, the navy you in the PRC are bragging about 'launching like dumplings' every day—Trump will show you that navy, it can capsize as easily as it was launched. If you don't believe me, I'll show you. Back then, the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan battleships you bought from Germany were either destroyed or seized by Japan. You still had to run to the US to ask for mediation, with no other hope. That means there was absolutely no 'Wolf Warrior' situation there. Guangxu's personal letter was extremely polite. Then I'll show you the Treaty of San Francisco: Taiwan does not belong to you because its sovereignty is currently unresolved. The US won't tell you who has sovereignty. Two months after Guangxu's 1895 letter, the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed, ceding Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan. Then, in 1951, Japan renounced its claims, but it didn't return them to the Qing dynasty, nor to the PRC or the Republic of China. The CCP doesn't acknowledge this unresolved sovereignty, right? You distort it, don't you? Now Xi has personally seen these documents. If you go back and say these historical documents don't count, Trump would say you really are a 'pig-headed' idiot, right? Trump says 100% or not, it's hard to say. Honestly, we didn't say Xi is 100% a 'pig-headed' idiot; at least he still has a human face, right? What are these wumaos thinking? They actually believe Xi is 100% an absolute 'pig-headed' idiot? Really, keeping these wumaos is a disaster; it's just a waste of food.

So, do you understand now? Why isn't this part publicly displayed? If this were publicly displayed, and this official report were written, the PRC would have to say that Xi visited a series of treaties that humiliated the nation and forfeited its sovereignty. Hey, I'm not wrong. The Treaty of Wanghia was signed by the US following the British after the First Opium War. Then, after the Second Opium War, the US followed again to sign the Treaty of Tianjin, and then the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Which one isn't something the PRC screams about as 'humiliating the nation and forfeiting sovereignty'? We have reviewed all the treaties that humiliated the nation and forfeited its sovereignty these days, right? The PRC summarized them itself. Among the five major treaties of national humiliation, there is also the Treaty of Aigun between China and Russia, right? After the Treaty of Aigun was signed, the Tumen River was completely given away, wasn't it? And there's another one, the Boxer Protocol after the Boxer Rebellion. That Boxer Rebellion part is also interesting. In 1895, Guangxu was still writing to the US President to mediate relations between China and Japan, begging this way and that, right? He sent Li Hongzhang and other special envoys. But just a few years later, the Qing court began to indulge the Boxers in their anti-Western activities.

There are archived records in American archives, just like how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) secretly supports anti-American forces behind Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, and supports Russia in fighting the West. During the Boxer Rebellion, there was solid evidence—intelligence, you see—and historical records showing that the Qing court secretly utilized, connived at, and even promoted the Boxers' attempt to drive out and slaughter all foreigners, which is why the Eight-Nation Alliance eventually marched into Beijing. Following that, the Qing court was directly driven out of the imperial palace, wasn't it? And then they signed yet another humiliating Treaty of Boxer Protocol. Just think about it: the history presented by the US in this recent meeting, lasting just over ten minutes, could not be more comprehensive. When I was negotiating business with the government on this land of China, your People's Republic of China hadn't even been born yet! Put another way, when you little punk—whose grandfather's grandfather was beaten to the ground by me, begged me for mercy, and asked me for help—where were you hiding? Huh? And besides, that wasn't even your biological grandfather, but an adoptive one you recognized, right? Huh? You insist on claiming that you share the same lineage and are a continuation of them? Hearing that sounds just like the Qing dynasty adopting such a grandson, doesn't it?

And now you come to me and say, my CCP country has a history of six thousand years, five thousand years, a long history. What is the US to you? You keep saying the US is only two hundred years old! And then you want to represent all of it, feeling like you represent and control all the people, matters, and things on this land. You even want to blackmail the whole world! Are you delusional? You are just an illegal government! Have you ever learned what democracy, rule of law, and freedom are? Come and learn, aren't they right? Also, look at how in 1895 they asked President Cleveland to help mediate the First Sino-Japanese War because they had no navy left, as the entire navy was wiped out. As a result, two months later, the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed, and your cessions were still ceded out—Penghu and Taiwan. What does that prove? It means Trump's point is that we watched the whole process of how you, the CCP country, fought and lost to Japan back then, and after we helped you mediate and eventually ceded Taiwan and Penghu, where was your People's Republic of China? Huh? When the Treaty of San Francisco was signed in 1951, where were the representatives of your People's Republic of China? Did it have a damn thing to do with you? Now you come and claim Taiwan has belonged to the CCP country since ancient times, an inalienable part, and whether it should be ceded or not? Back when it was ceded, you were the ones begging us there to help cede it out for you. Do you see that clearly now? This is simply a relentless slap in the face! Huh, we don't know how Trump managed to concisely and succinctly tell Xi in ten or twenty minutes that this is the real historical context of your own development with the US, letting you see who the boss is, who has the right to speak, who is uncivilized, and who has been standing still for hundreds of years. Isn't that what it means? Huh? Otherwise, why would Trump say, "This is to compare our countries"? Come on, let's explain it to everyone carefully, one by one, shall we?

As for the first three, the US founding acts, let's not dwell on them too much, because the core of the Declaration of Independence is that human rights are not granted by the government, and the legitimate powers of government derive from the consent of the governed. At its root, this tells you that two hundred and fifty years ago we had already won this core. If there is a dictator without democratic elections, the people do not need to acknowledge them, so one day more, right? Only one day left, this dictator, you see. Tomorrow they will be overthrown. Then came the Constitution. You, Xi Jinping, keep talking about ruling the country by law, but where is your law? Huh? This is what truly tells you the basis of the separation of powers; the Bill of Rights goes without saying. Aren't you telling me about the advantages of your CCP country? Let's talk about whether there is freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and freedom of individual rights. If not, what big difference is there between you and the former Qing court? Right? Even 50-centers are saying you just want to be emperor, right? But the dragon veins of the CCP country are long gone, so saying that is inauspicious. At most, you can only qualify as a wandering ghost returning from the dead. Right, as our audience friends heard this morning on Lude Media's broadcast, the bald eagle catching a snake is always right on target! So, oh, really, all the details in here are truly thoughtful! Huh, and then let's look at the bricks of the Great Wall, right? At the time of the First Emperor of Qin, how ruthless was your CCP country without forgetting its original aspiration? Huh? Then they built the Great Wall, and the dynasty perished in the second generation. Right? What do you have to say? And at that time, did the people of China have a damn thing to do with the ruling class? Nothing at all. They were the ones building the Great Wall, cannon fodder, leeks, and human resources. It's the same now! You brag about your thousands of years of history, yet the Chinese people are still human resources, still leeks, still cannon fodder! The US is different. From 1776 to the present, the US not only has abolished slavery, but human rights—such as whether Black people can vote, whether Chinese people are subject to the Chinese Exclusion Act, and the protection of women's rights—are constantly progressing! You are still stuck right there! Trump's real meaning is, oh, I see you are about as good as this brick; you are completely not a human being, unable to understand human language, isn't that so?

And let me tell you, what if the People's Republic of China doesn't exist? Isn't this land of the CCP still sitting right there? Ever since the Great Wall was built, how many ups and downs of wind and rain has it witnessed? After all these historical dynasties have run their course, isn't the Great Wall still standing there? The bricks of the Great Wall are here to tell you that the demise of the CCP does not mean the land of China will perish, nor does it mean that anything memorable or worth passing down on this land will be destroyed. It's not necessary, right? To put it bluntly, when precision strikes happen, they might not even damage a single corner of the Great Wall. Then look at the Treaty of Wanghia. Aside from being signed after the First Opium Treaty, the Treaty of Nanjing, another important significance of the Treaty of Wanghia is that it was the first official Sino-U.S. treaty, and it actually amounted to opening up the Qing government back then. You see, if you think about it, the Treaty of Wanghia actually expanded the United States' rights to trade in eastern trading ports in China, consular jurisdiction, and rights in various aspects, including extraterritoriality. Otherwise, why does the CCP say that after the Opium War and the Treaty of Nanjing, among our series of unequal treaties, Wanghia is one of the most notable ones? Right?

So you see, first, it tells you not to assume that Sino-U.S. relations are all about Nixon's visit to China or Kissingerism; that's not it. Sino-U.S. relations actually date back much earlier, to the Treaty of Wanghia. Why don't you ever mention that? It shows that Sino-U.S. relations and diplomatic ties can be maintained regardless of whether your People's Republic of China exists or not. Look, the CCP and the United States have only had a history of a little over forty years from 1979 to the present, whereas when the Treaty of Wanghia was signed in 1844, at least until the First Sino-Japanese War in 1895, they were still on speaking terms and able to help each other out. That was more than fifty years! The Qing government—which you in the CCP call hopelessly corrupt and heading toward ruin—actually had a friendly relationship with the United States back then that lasted even longer than your current regime has so far. So when you line up these timelines, how can you have the nerve to say that without the CCP there is no peace under heaven, or that Chinese people cannot live without the CCP? It's as if deep down in the bones of Chinese people, there is a need for the CCP to rule over them. And then you see, the United States also tells you: no matter whose government this land is under, whether it's the Qing Dynasty, I can still sign treaties, I can help out with mutual aid, and I can also overthrow it! Well, you can't quite call it the U.S. overthrowing it, but at least I can drive them out of the Forbidden City, right? Make them travel all the way west! During the Eight-Nation Alliance, right? I can make them crawl and beg for mercy. So why on earth would the Chinese Communist Party think that the United States cannot establish friendly relations with this East Asian land and the people on this land without your government?

And then you talk about the Treaty of Tianjin, right? During the Second Opium War, the United States wasn't even a main belligerent nation, but that didn't stop the United States from taking advantage of the momentum to directly sign the Treaty of Tianjin with China, because at that time many treaties were signed, like the British-Chinese, French-Chinese, and Russian-Chinese Treaties of Tianjin, and then there was the Sino-American Treaty of Tianjin. It used this opportunity to further expand American rights in diplomacy, commerce, and activities within China. So you see, let's talk about self-isolation. The CCP always says self-isolation was bad—how bad it was when we studied it before the Qing Dynasty—because of China's reform and opening up. Now Xi has brought self-isolation back up again, hasn't he? Ah, allegedly now the nationalism promoting self-isolation all has its advantages. When the Chinese government wants to implement self-isolation now, it's totally awesome! Thank you to our old member K T D for saying Dr. Yan happy Mid-Autumn Festival, tyranny will surely fall, and the CCP will surely perish. Thank you! Don't forget to join our member-only show tomorrow. Look at this, the self-isolation of the Qing Dynasty didn't stop others from coming over to open us up. Did you understand this point? This is what Xi is thinking.

I can implement self-isolation! You still need me, and what can you do to me? The U.S. says, you can self-isolate all you want, but when it's time to open up, it will open up just the same, completely unimpeded! Now let me show you, right? You say the Opium War, the Second Opium War—haven't you learned your lesson yet? Ah? At the time, did you think isolationism... ah? You thought the Qing Dynasty's control was strong, you thought you would be very safe in there, right? The GDP of the Qing Dynasty back then was still number one in the world, but it still signed these humiliating treaties and marched step-by-step toward its own demise.

Now let's talk about something even more interesting. This is something that many people might not know the full story about. It is the letter written by the Guangxu Emperor to President Cleveland in 1895. I actually found a link for you online. Oh, this link doesn't seem to open—it's from Zhihu—so never mind, let's skip the link and I'll just tell you about it. In fact, there are at least thirteen letters from the Qing Dynasty emperors to U.S. presidents stored in the archives. Among them, there were two letters in 1895. What were these two letters, and why do I say it's the one from February? Because in 1895, the first letter was written in January. That January letter was dated January 12th. You see, on the 10th day of the 10th lunar month of the 20th year of the Guangxu reign—which corresponds to 1894—it was the 60th birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi, right? And the Summer Palace was being built. So, the U.S. President had sent a congratulatory letter. Therefore, the first letter on January 12th was written by the Guangxu Emperor to U.S. President Cleveland to express his gratitude in return for the birthday wishes for Empress Dowager Cixi. So, there's not much to say about that letter. The one Trump wants to talk about, in this context, must be the second letter. The second letter was written on February 16th. What kind of day was February 16th? Let me first explain what this letter is.

At that time, the Guangxu Emperor was thanking the U.S. Minister to China, Charles Denby, for his work during the Sino-Japanese War. The First Sino-Japanese War was ongoing, and the Qing Dynasty needed to find channels for peace negotiations. Think about it: the Battle of Weihaiwei took place in February 1895, right? And Ding Ruchang, the Admiral of the Beiyang Fleet, along with Liu Buchan, the captain of the battleship Dingyuan, died for their country, right? Even now, the CCP still has a Beiyang Fleet Memorial Hall there, right? We didn't expect that when we talked about the 093-417 submarine incident in 2023, it would suddenly reveal a submarine base there, right? And don't forget their cemetery. So, the total collapse of the navy at Weihaiwei marked the destruction of the Beiyang Fleet. This led to the fall of Weihaiwei because on February 11th, Ding Ruchang committed suicide rather than surrender, and on the 14th, the remaining personnel surrendered under Ding Ruchang's name. So, Weihaiwei fell completely. Then, on February 16th, the Guangxu Emperor wrote this letter. And what did he say in it? In this letter, since the Treaty of Shimonoseki was to be signed in Japan in April—which Li Hongzhang went to sign, right?—he wanted the U.S. to help with what kind of treaty should be signed and how to mediate with Japan. He described the situation. Specifically, he requested this: first of all, he didn't say whether to cede Taiwan or not; he just thanked the U.S. for their help and said, since I've seen the photos of the letter online, it was written very politely, that I believe Minister Denby has done a good job, and can the U.S. now help? President, please help us mediate with Japan to settle the peace negotiations to end the Sino-Japanese War. He also said that since the U.S. has a Minister to Japan and so on, I will send a few more people over, and can we all work together to get this done? The Guangxu Emperor said the Qing Dynasty was extremely grateful. You see? This letter was highly appreciative of the previous performance of the U.S. Minister to China. And it was essential for them to help. They understood China, and I trusted them, so they had to be the ones to help get this settled. We couldn't handle this ourselves; not at all. To be honest, Guangxu was more cultured than Xi, so in this regard.

It is very clear that when the Qing Dynasty sought U.S. mediation, the U.S. State Department already had records of it—there are other documents you can check, they are all available online now. Back then, the State Department actually had records from 1894 stating that the Qing Dynasty was very eager for the U.S. to participate in diplomatic mediation regarding the Sino-Japanese War. And Japan's stance was that if the U.S. was willing to help, they were also willing to communicate through the U.S. side. So, the U.S. assessment at the time was that, since we had already signed trade agreements with the Qing Dynasty—well, not trade agreements, but those unequal treaties, right?—which opened up ports for trade with us, and we had long-term trade relations, right? From the perspective of national interest, Cleveland felt that although I won't intervene, if you ask me to facilitate and mediate, it serves our interests. So, the U.S. State Department's stance at the time was: fine, as long as both sides accept me as a fair mediator, I am willing to do it, you see?

And in fact, let me tell you, there is also a state letter from 1896 written by the Kangxi Emperor (Note: historically Guangxu) to President Cleveland in the United States National Archives, dated March 2 of that year. When Li Hongzhang was sent as an envoy to the United States, his meaning was: Li Hongzhang is my minister, and I am still very grateful to your country because you actively advocated for a ceasefire and maintained peace. In other words, back in 1895, the Guangxu Emperor asked the US for help, and later under US mediation, the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed, ceding Taiwan and the Penghu Islands. The Qing court under Guangxu was grateful to the US from the bottom of its heart, understand? In other words, what does this mean? Let me say a little more to tell you, this is equivalent to Rodriguez of Venezuela running over to the US now to publicly thank President Trump for turning the lives of the Venezuelan people upside down, and even promising elections. What does that mean? Ah, the reporter asked, do you want to go see Maduro? Would Maduro die of anger hearing that? Rodriguez publicly thanked the US at the UN General Assembly, almost coming right out and saying thank you for capturing Maduro for me and turning Venezuela upside down for me, right? So this was voluntary. Look, the US even now lets you see this in public settings, right? The President of Iran also came voluntarily, saying our ceasefire will be subject to what the US says, and we don't want nuclear weapons. Back then, the US also had the Qing court specifically take the initiative to write a letter saying, I am very grateful to your country for maintaining peace in the Eastern situation and for the things you have done. So the Qing court ceding Taiwan and Penghu was completely voluntary and from the heart. And later in the Treaty of San Francisco, sovereignty didn't return to the hands of the CCP either. So when the CCP's Xinhua News Agency says, oh, we emphasized our position to Trump, what are you emphasizing? Trump says I can't be bothered with you, I'll take you to class, right? Stop bouncing around here in front of me next time. Really, don't you always say bring out the evidence? This is the evidence. If you don't take this as evidence, I'm going to have to send you to prison to take some classes, right?

Oh, so in here, really. Just connect these all together and look at it! Back in the day, when the US interacted with the CCP (Note: Qing dynasty context), it was also in line with its own interests, right? But objectively speaking, through interactions with the US, the Qing court had the opportunity to broaden its horizons, the opportunity to learn from the West, right? There was the Self-Strengthening Movement, there was the opportunity for reform, they had long-guns and cannons, they had formidable ships and powerful guns, right? And they also learned how to deal with civilized people! At least what Li Hongzhang and others learned back then still looked somewhat decent, right? At least I think Li Hongzhang didn't look as annoying as Wang Yi! And look, in this process, the US has always consistently followed the principle that as long as we have genuine mutual benefit, we can do this, right? Look, you signed two treaties and you also gave the US most-favored-nation treatment! Whether it was the Treaty of Wanghia or the Treaty of Tianjin, you also gave the US extraterritoriality! You also gave the US all sorts of other benefits. They didn't plan to overthrow you; who told you not to see the situation clearly by the later years? For example, in 1895 and 1896 you were still thanking the US for mediation, and by those couple of years of the Boxer Rebellion you started doing unconscionable things, right? So the US's stance was: look, we can talk diplomacy, we can help you, and we can objectively help you develop, but you can't attribute this to yourself. Whether it's the Qing court or the CCP, if you are blinded and must insist that without the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party you wouldn't even have phones to use or cars to ride in—even the Qing court wouldn't say such shameless things, alright? What era was that for them? How do you even have the face to say such things? If it were the Qing court today, it would be the same; as long as a war hasn't broken out, the US would still trade with them and interact with them. If it were still the Qing court, Chinese people would still use iPads, right? They would still surf the net! So you can see that once this narrative is brought out, it is steady, accurate, and ruthless, telling you:

First, you shouldn't shamelessly say 'Without the Communist Party, there would be no New China'! Second, let's talk about jurisprudence: what kind of backward state are you in the eyes of the US, right? You aren't elected anyway right now, and you have no freedom, which is no different from the Qing court in the late 1800s. And then, don't talk about Western bullying of China; look at yourselves, you were the ones crying, howling, and begging others for help, and then expressing gratitude. Right? It's not like the US pressed its hand on your head and said you must cede Taiwan; that didn't exist, right? It was given away voluntarily, given away with a thousand thanks. And now that it hasn't returned to your hands, what gives you the shameless face to say it belongs to you?

And let me add this: if you keep playing this nationalism card, being anti-American, and acting like the Boxers, and then you hide in the background, trying to act like the Qing Dynasty—saying, 'Oh, that's just the Boxers, it's the people's business, it has nothing to do with the imperial court'—well, American archives from that time show that it was your imperial court fueling the fire from behind, trying to profit from the chaos, so I am going to target your court directly. See that? One strike and the Qing court was running away in a panic. Tell me, what is the difference between the nationalism you are 'polishing' now and the Boxers back then? Isn't this just like the U.S. saying, 'Look, I've only been doing business with you for a few years, only recognized you for a few years, only helped you for so long, and you're already playing this nationalism game with me?' Excuse me, do you think you have those 'dumpling-making' warships? Go take a look; your 'dumpling' ships aren't necessarily better than the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan battleships of that era, are they? And the U.S. is not the military power that Japan was back then. Besides, no matter what, I can help you, and I can treat you with the highest protocol—what Xi calls the 'highest standard of hospitality,' so perfect and thoughtful! But I can turn around and kick you out of where you're living just the same. Do you believe me? Let's say Xi goes back to Zhongnanhai and feels around to see if there's a chair Guangxu sat on, or if there's a portrait of Guangxu on the wall. If we really want to talk about it, counting back 150 years in Zhongnanhai—hey, don't say I didn't warn you. 150 years ago, that tree in Zhongnanhai, the one Xi Jinping introduced to Trump, surely witnessed historical events like Guangxu writing those letters, right? So Xi can go back and touch that tree to feel it. Has he heard the call of history? Emperor Guangxu was just like that, and it ultimately led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty. When Emperor Guangxu was writing those letters, the U.S. and the Qing had a pretty good relationship, but it was gone within two years. That was the speed of the Qing Dynasty era, and that was when the U.S. was still number one—though the U.S. influence back then couldn't compare to now. After all, American international influence was forged in World War II; even in World War I, it wasn't as powerful as it became later, right? And yet, they call you the CCP—back then, the Qing Dynasty signed treaties when they had to and sought American help when they needed it. Now you're coming here to play this game with the U.S.? You'd better go back and listen to see if that tree gives you a dream in the middle of the night, telling you to stop making trouble. Otherwise, with the current U.S. military power, in a split second—you won't have the fate of Guangxu, and you won't have the peaceful end that Cixi had. Hey, I'm just worried for you; either you'll be 'sublimated' all at once, or the U.S. will bring a military parade right to your bedroom door, right? A Delta Force helicopter and warship parade all in one package—that would be very interesting, wouldn't it?

So look here, I am truly impressed by this arrangement. Oh my, it feels like the people in the Trump administration now understand the Xi-CCP too well, right? You talk about everything from his 'Les Misérables' music to his love for Hugo, from his pumpkin soup to 'recalling bitterness and thinking of sweetness,' and then that state of him leaping over the 'B'—plus that sly smile from Trump, right? And then in the archives, Trump giving you a personal lesson—such painstaking effort! Now, let's look at this from another angle.

What angle? Come, let's talk about the Treaty of Wanghia and the Treaty of Tientsin, right? These two were the results of the Opium Wars after the CCP-controlled China opened its ports. Actually, back then, the U.S. had something called the 'Open Door Policy'—doesn't that sound a lot like 'Open Up China'? Ah, it's just that the historical context was slightly different. Because you have to consider the historical background—hey, why did this jump?

Because you have to consider that back then, the U.S. didn't actually intend to dominate East Asia, right? Because the U.S. wasn't that powerful yet. Look, this is what I found for everyone, right? The five major unequal treaties of the Qing Dynasty in China—wasn't the Treaty of Wanghia the counterpart to the Treaty of Nanking? Ah, the Treaty of Nanking was with Britain, Wanghia was with the U.S., and then there was Aigun, this...

Everything was lost, right? And then there was the Convention of Peking; besides the Convention of Peking, there was the Treaty of Tientsin—these were all part of the aftermath of the Second Opium War, right? Ah, and then there was the Treaty of Shimonoseki after the First Sino-Japanese War, right? And then came the Boxer Protocol. Anyone who understands Chinese history will see that Trump has already strung it all together for you! Ah, and think about this.

At the time of Wanghia, what exactly was signed? Let's say a bit more. The Treaty of Wanghia opened five treaty ports, right? Ah, and then there were all kinds of extraterritorial rights. Didn't I just mention that? For the U.S., they just wanted one more place to do business in China; they didn't want other countries to monopolize the benefits. Even later, when it came to the Treaty of Tientsin, it was the same, and you should even know that the Treaty of Tientsin and...

After the Second Opium War and the First Opium War, the Qing court paid a massive amount of silver. However, the United States did not receive any indemnities in these two wars, you know? Because it was not considered a major combatant, it did not get much in the way of reparations. It just wanted you to open up rights and interests to it. And when did the later Open Door Policy come about? Well, that was the background of this letter from the Guangxu Emperor. Because after the First Sino-Japanese War, what did the United States see? The United States saw this.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) state, this place is too weak, understand? That is to say, if the United States did not consider its national interests at this time—and it wasn't the CCP state then, it was the land of the Qing Dynasty, which was much larger than the CCP state, right?—if the United States did not consider its interests on this land, then it would be carved up by other countries, right? There were other countries in the Eight-Nation Alliance waiting, so from the perspective of U.S. national interests, it brought this up.

There must be an Open Door Policy; this was the famous policy proposed by the then U.S. Secretary of State John Hay. And there is a difference in the historical context between him and Trump now, as well as differences in specific execution, but there are also many similarities. At that time, his main goal was to demand open commercial opportunities for all countries. But because the United States was not strong enough to occupy a dominant position at that time, it said, "Hey, don't carve it up and turn it into your own pieces of territory; if you do that, wouldn't the U.S. commercial interests be gone?" So the United States said, "Let's all keep it as it is."

The entire territory of the Qing Dynasty, let's not divide it up among the Eight-Nation Alliance with everyone taking a piece; isn't it better if we all do business together? So why was this? Actually, after the Eight-Nation Alliance fought its way to Beijing, they didn't end up directly overthrowing the Qing court or carving it up. This also had to do with the U.S. thinking at the time; it wasn't because they were reluctant to take action against Cixi and Guangxu—that didn't exist.

But now you also know that the United States is so powerful, and your CCP state is still engaging in the Korean War, and the United States now views you as a major threat. So, regarding this "Open Up China" now, everyone can see that the United States still wants to lead a strategy on this land that aligns with U.S. national interests. But if you are too big, to the extent that your Leninist organization, your inertia toward dictatorship, or your pursuit of nuclear weapons, right? Coupled with your unscrupulous evil deeds—if these are not completely cleared away, the United States will certainly consider "opening you up," and on the basis of removing your military, Leninist organization, and nuclear weapons, it will split you up. It is impossible to let you have a unified state, because the United States today is not what it was; the U.S. back then couldn't even take a leading role among the eight nations.

Old man, right? So he said: "Let's not change the status quo. There is a Qing government here, and you can still collect money from them. If you destroy them, who will you ask for reparations later? And we can still pressure them to continue doing business with us." That was the idea. It's not like that now. Look at how the U.S. handles Venezuela, how the U.S. is dealing with Iran, changing the order in the Middle East, and the U.S. wanting to strike Cuba, as well as the state of Syria toward the U.S. now.

In a state of total submission, the U.S. is not like that now. Oh, I can't swallow it all anyway, so you guys can't just dismantle it either! We have to eat it together; it's not that attitude anymore, understand? So for Xi, after seeing all this, he should think about how sharp the political metaphor is in this! Ah, he can actually feel that the arrangements were so thoughtful! Go and see, the CCP state is definitely bragging now; the propaganda from Xinhua News Agency must already be on track, definitely saying that Trump is so respectful to Xi. Trump is so great to Xi. Trump personally took Xi to visit, showing Xi around, thinking it was like showing off the Imperial Ancestral Temple to Xi.

Ah, what does that Imperial Ancestral Temple count for in the eyes of Americans? So what if it's the place where the Qing Dynasty worshipped its ancestors? What does your Qing Dynasty ancestor worship count for? Didn't they fight their way into the place where the Qing Emperor lived? The Old Summer Palace was burned as it should have been! People in the Forbidden City ran away as they should have, so what does the Imperial Ancestral Temple count for?

Right? So really, after this lesson from the U.S. is over, you go and do this, what? "I don't acknowledge this in history," or "I don't admit it, I don't admit it"? I will rewrite history for you; that doesn't exist. The United States tells you that anything you don't acknowledge, what is in my archives is called history, is called fact. If you don't acknowledge it, well, let's see whose wrist is stronger, who can catch whom and take whom out based on strength; isn't that what it's all about? So look.

At this time, we say, speaking of the entire First Sino-Japanese War, right? Kangxi wrote a letter asking the U.S. to help mediate, and Taiwan and the Penghu Islands were ceded. Oh, there is one more point to mention. Didn't Japan build a "window spectrum" (a pun on a political term) at the UN these past two days? Sanae Takaichi is scanning the "window spectrum," and the CCP is now claiming it wants to "pacify" Japan again, wishing it could take down Takaichi with its left hand today and dismantle the Japanese Yen system with its right hand tomorrow, right? And then The New York Times, licking and licking and licking.

Saying that the Sino-Japanese deadlock is difficult to resolve, Sanae Takaichi turned to Trump for help. What did Takaichi actually talk about when she met with Trump during this UN General Assembly? As we mentioned before, Sanae Takaichi herself admitted that it was about the China issue and the North Korea issue, right? And then, people familiar with the plan told The New York Times that Takaichi feels worried about relations with China and wants to ease tensions.

And then what? The US-Japan alliance, right? Including the stationing of US troops and so on and so forth. Well, besides this, what about the issue of defending Taiwan, meaning a contingency for Taiwan is a contingency for Japan? This has caused the Chinese Communist Party to become increasingly aggressive toward Japan, right? Escalating to the point where it seems like it's about to cross the line. And all these issues are being discussed with the US, including the issue of the Japanese yen, right? Bessent just said these days that the US will definitely help with the Japanese yen, that it's a matter of shared concern, a matter of common interest. You see, that's how it is.

This letter from the Guangxu Emperor in 1895 was shown to Xi today. Besides mentioning that the CCP is not the CCP, that the Qing dynasty, the Qing dynasty needed the US to mediate, it later touched upon the ceding of Taiwan and the Penghu islands. But in fact, there is another important point, isn't it the trilateral relationship between China, Japan, and the United States? Doesn't this look like, you see, returning to that historical moment of the past? Once again, China, Japan, and the US are involved in the Taiwan issue.

Right? And it concerns the question of survival. Obviously, back in 1895, the Qing court wanted the US to step in and help counterbalance Japan, but the Qing dynasty only played a mediating role in the middle, and at that time, even Taiwan, right, wasn't protected for you, nor was it saved from being ceded; they just maneuvered and mediated. The Qing dynasty didn't understand back then; they thought that what was said in diplomacy was the final result they wanted.

Right? But just because American diplomacy helps you doesn't mean it guarantees the result you want. So there is a very important point here that the CCP and Xi's regime still haven't learned to this day. They think that having diplomatic meetings with the US, that exchanges between the two countries mean they can definitely get what they want. What kind of wishful thinking is that? So back then, the Qing dynasty thought finding the US was like having a powerful backer; they treated diplomacy as "you protecting me," so they went running to the US for a while, and then to Russia for a while, but in the end, others just ate what they wanted and took what they wanted, right? Ah.

In the end, the Qing dynasty died in muddled confusion just like that. Now the CCP still hasn't figured it out. You can see that in terms of the practices of Western civilization, they are simply un-civilized, aren't they? So looking at this, including back in 1895, Japan and the US could talk to each other. Now look at it again, when talking about the Taiwan issue and the Japan issue, first of all, Taiwan doesn't belong to you, and Japan is already a firm treaty ally of the US. Under this circumstance, your Chinese Communist Party is now overall even less tactful than the Qing government of that year.

Even less sensible than the Qing government of that year. In terms of strength, you and the Qing government of that year are at best about the same, ah. After that, you are still there threatening to pacify Japan, looking at this as a whole, don't you think it's extremely brain-dead? Ah, let's not even mention whether you have the possibility of pacifying Japan, right? The US has long since said.

This, if you dare to attack Japan, what you trigger is the US protection of Japan! Before you even make a move, you will be finished first, right? The US will take preemptive action. And then think about it, back then you also thought you were stronger than Japan, so you just directly made your move. Back then you also had warfleets popping up like dumplings, but what was the result? Ships went with strong armor and heavy guns, but those that should have sunk sank, and those that should have been captured were captured. You say if you don't recognize the situation clearly yourselves?

What kind of good fruit can you get? So I'm saying, you see here, this series of lessons painstakingly arranged by the US really needs a separate time for someone to come out and explain to Xi, otherwise, you say with such a long, long historical narrative evidence chain, there really isn't much time. Trump can sit down with Xi and talk using the original documents; if you don't show him the originals, he won't admit it, right? So connecting this whole place together, you can see now, as we were saying yesterday about that.

That business of drinking sparkling wine, I mentioned it—it's not to say that using the wine from Nixon's time implies that Sino-US relations are developing for the better, just like Nixon's time. It can actually be the exact opposite historical metaphor, just like the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, ah, just like that train in Germany, right? An agreement was signed in 1818, and then another agreement was signed in 1940, and then after the defeat, Hitler was afraid people would take it back to sign an agreement and humiliate Germany, so he burned that train down.

This is how people have been playing it since history began, playing it to perfection. And you, Xi, when you got here, you didn't understand a single thing, did you? By the way, ah, haven't we been talking about why the Beiyang Fleet was completely annihilated? I just said, there was nothing wrong with the warships; the armored ships Dingyuan and Zhenyuan were good ships, truly better than Japan's. One was even towed away later. The problem is that analyses on the US side also show that, besides your corruption and the backwardness of your entire management system, what was the biggest difference? The two armored ships of the Chinese Communist Party had very large guns, but their rate of fire and hit efficiency were no good, and moreover.

The navy of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is not the navy of the Qing court. During the First Sino-Japanese War, it exposed severe disconnection in the command system, you see? So when you connect all these problems together, does the CCP have what the Qing dynasty had? It still has them. To put it bluntly, back then you could still buy vessels like the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan from Germany; now there is export control in place, and can you even reach that level of the past? If you make a direct equivalent comparison today, you still can't buy them, can you? Oh, really.

I hope that the state security (MSS) and national treasure officers watching our show today won't come here to ask whether it's an absolutely one-hundred-percent pig-headed stupid question, right? Come on, go back quickly and check if what I said is a fact. Then, go ahead and brief Xi Jinping about it as appropriate. After all, when the United States comes over to ask you next time, you can't just say you don't know, nor can you say you don't admit it, since you personally received a lecture from Xi, right? Chairman Xi needs to go back and take some remedial classes, doesn't he? Ah, after taking the remedial class, when you are asked again next time—whether you are in the courtroom dock or somewhere else—you won't look completely clueless and just stand there smiling blankly, which is quite embarrassing. Alright.
