[Epoch Times July 02, 2021]Hello, everyone, and welcome to “Current Affairs”, I am Fuyao. Today is Thursday, July 1, 2021.
The focus of attention today: Bad Omen? There are many visions in many places, and Tiananmen Square is gloomy; when the party celebrates the “Pyongyang style”, the CCP is accused of malicious swindlers; 1.4 billion Chinese have become a shield for the party? Netizens turned the sky; Jiang and Zhu did not show their faces because of this?
Bad omen?There are many visions in Tiananmen Square, and the activities of Tiananmen Square are dark
On July 1, the Chinese Communist Party was founded one hundred years ago, and a conference was held in Tiananmen, Beijing. More than 70,000 people attended. For this event, the authorities can say that the work of maintaining stability has been done without leakage. However, no matter how careful a plan is, God cannot be counted.
Tiangong is pretty unpretentious. From the live broadcast, the scene was covered by dark clouds and a cloud of gray; when Xi Jinping was speaking, it was raining a lot, and the audience sitting in various squares took out raincoats and put them on. The scene looked a little embarrassing. .
The Central News Agency reported that the precarious weather seemed to indicate that the CCP’s path was not easy to follow.
According to this statement, we found that the bad omen of the Chinese Communist Party for a hundred years is more than the storm during the event. When July 1st came, abnormal celestial phenomena occurred frequently in many places, such as lightning and thunder, violent storms, and blizzards in June, etc., all appeared.
Let’s look at Beijing first. On the evening of June 30, Beijing issued three warnings for thunder and lightning, hail, and gale at the same time. Some local netizens said that the thunder and lightning lasted for an hour without stopping. He lived such a big life, and he did not remember that there had been such a long period of strong thunder and lightning in Beijing. At the same time, Haidian, Mentougou and other places fell hail, smashing densely on the road.
On 7.1 that day, from 3:30 to 4:12 in the afternoon, the Beijing Meteorological Observatory issued four warnings of thunder and lightning, gale, hail, and heavy rain. Around 4 pm, the city was already thundering.
In Shandong, the province issued an orange thunder and lightning warning and a yellow gale warning on June 30. Among them, Zhangqiu, Jinan, experienced strong winds of magnitude 13 with wind speeds as fast as 39.9 meters per second, breaking the local historical record of 30.1 meters per second.
According to the video taken, Zhangqiu was dimly dark at that time, and strong winds pulled away the top and outer walls of the building; large pieces of debris were blown to a high place and then slammed onto the road; the simple-built iron bungalows were overturned ; The trees on the street were blown to pieces, and many were uprooted.
Some photographers said, “Wow, it’s so scary.” “Look, you see, I can’t go, just for a while, I can’t do it, it’s too dangerous to see such a big battle for the first time.”
On the same day in Xinxiang, Henan, there was a heavy snowfall of goose feathers. The person who filmed the video said, “It was a violent storm and hail just now, and it was snowing again. Wow, this snow is flying all over the sky.”
Traditional Chinese culture speaks of “human and nature induction”, that is, when the ruler is in good governance, he will naturally behave in good weather, the four seasons are distinct, and all changes will be smooth; when the ruler performs evil governance, the sky will warn of natural disasters, and then Be disciplined.
Many netizens said that under the rule of the CCP, “the heavens are angry and the people complain”, “God can’t stand it anymore”, “Dou E is everywhere, and the world suffers for a long time!”
Party celebrates “Pyongyang style”, CCP accused of malicious liar
In such a celestial phenomenon, Xi Jinping led CCP officials to board the Tiananmen Gate on July 1. To his right is Li Keqiang, and to the left is Hu Jintao. The officials face the live broadcast camera with solemn expressions, and they cannot see that they are in a “celebration.”
When Xi Jinping delivered a speech, there was no slight smile on his face. Political commentator Chen Pokong said that Xi looks like a eulogy, and the entire scene of Tiananmen, including the clothes people wear, the songs they sing, the postures they make, and the color palette, are exactly the same as the celebrations in Pyongyang, North Korea.
Some netizens sarcastically said, “I thought that North Korea was our past, but now I know that North Korea is our future.”
So, what exactly did Xi Jinping say?
The full text contains more than 7,200 words, some of which are advocating the CCP’s remarks, such as “achieving the 100-year goal”, “building a moderately prosperous society”, “eliminating poverty” and so on.
We will not mention the two major topics of the so-called “centennial goal” and “well-off society”; just say that “poverty alleviation”, which is relatively easy to quantify and statistics, has been exposed by many Chinese people, scholars and media as fraud and a joke. .
The internal documents obtained by The Epoch Times also show that the CCP is well aware that there are many problems in the fight against poverty and can only repeatedly supervise and rectify it, but it is unable to solve the fundamental problems.
Pro-democracy activist Wei Jingsheng published a commentary on Radio Free Asia on July 1. He said, “There is a malicious liar that is the most harmful but often goes unnoticed. This is a political liar. The Communist Party is the best among political liars. “
Zhou Xiaozheng, a retired professor at Renmin University of China, said that the CCP used a lie to cover the previous lie for a hundred years. From its establishment to seizure of power, it has been fabricating a “great light and righteous” history for itself to create the legitimacy of the regime, but it has always been incomplete. , And keep going down.
1.4 billion Chinese become a shield for the party?Netizens
In Xi Jinping’s speech, another key point was to criticize “foreign forces”, and a few sentences in it caused a lot of discussion.
He said, “The Chinese people will never allow any foreign forces to bully, oppress, or enslave us.” Otherwise, “we will surely face a bloodshed in front of the Great Wall of Steel, which is made of flesh and blood by more than 1.4 billion Chinese people.” He also warned that any attempt to divide and antagonize the CCP and the Chinese people “will never succeed.”
How do you feel after listening to it, are you panicking? You can leave a message to share with us.
Some mainland netizens said on Twitter, “Why are we the Great Wall of flesh and blood?” “Xi Jinping once again viciously emphasized that the 1.4 billion Chinese people must be tightly bound together and cast into his copper wall and iron wall, which shows how much he has in his heart. fear.”
Some people also said, “The people are really easy to use. For a while, there will be a country where the bandits will fight together; for a while, it will be a great wall of steel built of flesh and blood, blocking bullets and shells for the bandits.”
Lu Yezhong, a professor at the Department of Foreign Affairs of National Chengchi University in Taiwan, believes that Xi’s remarks seem to be aimed at the anti-China forces in the West, but they are actually meant to be heard by people in China. Confess.
Hong Kong international politics scholar Zheng Yushuo also analyzed that Xi Jinping’s difficulties at home and abroad need to show a strong stance internally that does not accept foreign criticism. But judging from actual examples, the CCP is still actively negotiating with Europe and the United States to achieve cooperation. So these remarks do not mean that they have given up cooperating with the world.
Xi hints at Wutong Taiwan scholars: the CCP is the culprit of secession
In addition, Xi Jinping also mentioned the Taiwan issue in his speech. He claimed to adhere to the “One China Principle” and the “1992 Consensus” and “resolutely crush any’Taiwan independence’ conspiracy.” He also said that resolving the Taiwan issue is the “unswerving historical task” of the CCP.
Regarding these expressions, the outside world has generally read the foreign voice of “forced intimidation”.
The Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan (MAC) issued a statement on the same day, recommending that Beijing stop intimidation and engage in equal dialogue with Taiwan, because Taiwan’s determination to defend its sovereignty and Taiwan’s democracy and freedom and to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait remains unchanged.
Professor Guo Yuren from the Institute of China and Asia-Pacific Regional Studies at Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan told The Epoch Times that judging from all possible crises in Taiwan at present, the CCP does not yet have the ability to attack Taiwan by force, and the conditions are not yet ripe.
Su Ziyun, director of the National Defense Strategy and Resources Research Institute of the Taiwan National Defense Security Academy, pointed out that the CCP’s so-called Taiwan independence issue is actually putting the cart before the horse. The real problem is the CCP, not Taiwan. He gave, for example, that in 1931, the CCP announced the establishment of the “Chinese Soviet Republic” and issued its own Constitution and currency. The head of the currency was Lenin. This proved that the CCP was a foreign power and the CCP was the culprit in splitting China.
Why didn’t Jiang and Zhu show their faces? Foreign congratulatory messages rely on “requests”
In fact, in addition to what we just talked about, there are also many topics of concern to the outside world about this party celebration event, such as: Why are Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rongji absent?
The outside world knows that Jiang Zemin is a person who likes to be popular and has a sense of existence. It is definitely not his intention to not participate in this 100-year event of the Chinese Communist Party.
Current political commentator Li Linyi said that Jiang did not show up at the Bird’s Nest Gala on the 28th and the 7.1 event. It was obvious that his body was already bad. Since last year, overseas rumors about Jiang Zemin’s serious illness and death have continued, but at the recent funeral ceremony of Yuan Longping, he also appeared on the mourning list.
Li Linyi believes that Jiang’s absence from the Tiananmen Square, the most important occasion for party celebrations, makes the rumor that he is seriously ill a little more reliable. At the same time, his lack of appearance will also cause the Jiang faction within the CCP to rapidly decline again, and the CCP’s internal factions will face another integration.
As for Zhu Rongji’s absence, current affairs critic Zhang Tianliang analyzed that it was related to Xi Jinping’s suppression of the Hong Kong democracy movement. Zhu Rongji has a special affection for Hong Kong, and the two sides may have become stalemate because of this, which led to him not being invited.
In addition to this incident, another hot topic is that the CCP was exposed to request congratulatory messages from other countries.
The CCP likes to count congratulatory messages the most. Every time there is a big event, the party media and foreign propaganda will make high-profile reports. Leaders of which country have sent congratulatory messages again, which seems particularly arrogant.
However, the current situation of the CCP in the international arena is obvious to all. FRI reported that leaders of Western democracies will definitely not send congratulatory messages to Xi Jinping. So they can only “please” and invite some people to post.
For example, the Japanese ruling party “Liberal Democratic Party” sent a congratulatory message in the name of Secretary-General Toshihiro Nikai, but the Sankei Shimbun said that the news from the Liberal Democratic Party cadres was sent at the request of the Chinese side and took diplomatic etiquette into consideration.
And on July 1, what the Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato Nobubuki said at the press conference had nothing to do with “congratulations.” He said, “As a major country, China has the responsibility to participate in regional and international community issues.” “The important thing is to continue to follow the rules of the international community, take responsibility and live up to expectations.”
According to the CCP’s official media, as of the 27th, they had received more than 1,300 congratulatory messages. Let’s read a few and listen to them. For example, at the top of the list are: the President of Mongolia, the President of Armenia, the President of Equatorial Guinea, the leader of the Papua New Guinea Pangu Party, the Fourth King of Bhutan, the Prime Minister-elect of Lebanon, and so on. Fa Guang said that the state media used vague words like “multi-national dignitaries call congratulations” to cover up some kind of embarrassment.
At the same time, many politicians in the United States and Europe also elected to speak out on July 1, condemning the CCP’s atrocities over the past 100 years.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo tweeted, “One hundred years of the CCP is a century of killing and genocide. No political party has killed more people than the CCP.”
U.S. Congressman Steve Chabot said, “Today, the CCP has a hundred years. From the Cultural Revolution to the Tiananmen Square massacre, the persecution of Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang, and Falun Gong, and the cover-up of the epidemic, their rule It is an uninterrupted chain of atrocities. Justice cannot tolerate such evil for another 100 years.”
Representative Brian Mast said, “The Communist Party of China: 100 years of suppression of freedom and human rights violations. We must hold China (the Communist Party) accountable.”
Members of the European Parliament also issued severe criticisms. Among them, German MP Engin Eroglu issued a picture that read: The Chinese Communist Party has a hundred years of oppression.
In addition, Jeff Merkley and James P. McGovern, the two co-chairs of the US Congress and Executive Committee on China (CECC), jointly sent a letter to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, calling for The United Nations took immediate action to closely monitor and assess the serious human rights violations in China (the CCP).
Okay, let’s stop here today, and we will see you in the next episode.
