In 2026, when winter arrived, a heavy bomb was dropped again in the Communist Party's political arena: the 14th National People's Congress, Deputy Director of the National Commission for the Environment and Resource Protection, and former Secretary of the Hubei Province, Wang Zhonglin, fell in a dark place. The clichés in the official circulars, which call them “suspicious breaches of discipline”, are nothing more than a veil used to hide the brutal games of the core of power. In the CCP's institutional soil of “no officials, no greed”, corruption is never the real cause of death of high-ranking officials, but rather the political stabbing that can be drawn from the highest-ranking authorities at any time. The fall of Wang Zhonglin is not a simple act against corruption, but rather a well-prepared political flag for the upcoming China-Russian Tripartite Summit in Shenzhen, Beijing and Russia.

The upcoming Shenzhen Tripartite Summit is not a conventional geopolitical show, but a grand feast that forces the totalitarian power to hand over the bottom card. ♪ With Trump The strong return to the international game table, Xi Jinping Instead of a vanquished slogan of “global denuclearization”, it is a very cold ultimatum — calling for the substantive denuclearization of the Communist Party and the complete lifting of its nuclear deterrence to the free world. At the same time, the United States has been moving at a high pace towards the origins of the new crown virus, the Wuhan laboratory, and, more importantly, the sword of Damocles, which hangs above Beijing's head. This century-long catastrophe, which has engulfed the globe, claimed tens of millions of lives and the international community ' s strong allegations of the artificial transformation of the virus are the deadly historical burden that Beijing has so desperately sought to conceal and to remove.

Faced with the double lethal pressure of “arming” and “liquidation”, the core of power urgently needs to find leverage at the negotiating table. At this extremely sensitive node, a sufficiently high-level scapegoat must be thrown out in exchange for a breathing chance to keep the regime ' s nuclear bottom line by trying to calm the international community ' s anger over the outbreak of the century with a political sacrifice.

Wang Zhonglin, the “Fires Captain” of Wuhan, was perfectly compatible with this role during the worst period of the epidemic in

  1. In that year, he had already pinned himself on the sham of popular opinion as a hugely negative asset in the public domain, in order to show loyalty to the core of power, to ignore the fact that the people of Wuhan were still alive and to push for a heinous “grateful education”. Today, when pressure for external liquidation has risen, the locals who used to work hard to implement what was best thought and to keep the centre in a cruel state have become, by definition, the political entanglement of the masters.

Indeed, the conviction of Wang Zhonglin with “corruption” is filled with a sense of charisma that is unique to the totalitarian system. Today, when the highest levels of power and their families are moving to the far-flung, huge wealth of almost trillions of dollars abroad, the red-powered and total monopoly of the State apparatus, the corruption of officials below is nothing but the last of this corrupt tree. The Chinese Communist Party media are now playing the game of Zhonglin, which is essentially a cover-up: inside, the corruption of corrupt officials is used to appease the anger of the lower strata of society; Externally, attempts were made to remove the "first hand" of Wuhan, who was once the one, from the background of the initial confusion and the dark screens of Wuhan's laboratory. The political calculations of two birds, one stone, are used to mask the institutional plundering with the corruption of local domestic slaves and to counter the gust of the top-level money-laundering by bureaucratic fall.

King Zhonglin's political collapse has torn the coldest corner of the totalitarian system: in this pyramid-tight game of power, there is no so-called rule of law and justice, but absolute obedience and calculation. All locals, however prominent they may have been, are nothing more than a resource for the protection of the top interests. When the master needed to be tarnished or compromised, the most powerful domestic slave could be used as as cannon ash at any time and put into that never-ending political meat-scraper.
