On September 10, 2026, the official media People’s Daily posted an entry announcement on the social platform Xiaohongshu. Subsequently, a netizen posted “We want two-day weekend” in the platform’s comment section as a test, and the system returned a prompt “This comment is under review, sharing not supported at this time”.

The Xinhua News Agency's Ban Yue Tan magazine published an investigative report, exposing that public officials within the CCP system use their positions to obtain internal secrets in advance about officials being promoted or being arrested by the disciplinary committee, and then post them online in the form of “official resumes” or homophonic coded short videos, charging fees.
A WeChat public account published a detailed resume of Zhou Xianwang, Vice Chairman of the Hubei Provincial Political Consultative Conference, on July 6, 2025. Two days later, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection officially announced Zhou Xianwang's downfall. This precise "timing" prediction is pointed to as being behind a lucrative business.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was founded in 1921. The program interprets its party history as a continuous historical mission to realize communism, noting that the CCP later described itself as the most advanced vanguard of the proletariat, asserting that the party cannot make mistakes. Jin Yinan's book "Suffering and Glory" is also used to illustrate the CCP's sense of historical mission and its narrative of invincibility from its founding to the present.
