60 seconds news

The Chinese Communist Party’s official media “Global Times” reported on the 17th that the Internet army’s interference in the Honduras election may be related to the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China immediately condemned “Circle Time” for ignoring the journalistic code of practice and repeatedly spreading fake news in an attempt to undermine the friendship between friendly nations and the Republic of China.
A number of mainland media reported that Shandong Jinan Langchao Group had been exposed, and slogans encouraging people to work overtime hung in the office. Several employees accused the company of compulsory overtime but not paying overtime, and included the number of overtime hours in the year-end appraisal. Some employees said that they work more than 600 hours of overtime a year, and the ranking is still counting down.
In North America, late at night on the 18th and early morning on the 19th, it may be possible to see the last rare partial lunar eclipse this year.

Let’s enter today’s topic. Following CNN’s disclosure of “infighting” in the White House, there was news that Biden was preparing to fire Harris from the post of Vice President. Is it true or not?
The CCPās third historical resolution was released five days after the conclusion of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee, and the inside story finally came out. The official media of the two major CCPs successively disclosed that the high-level CCP “discussed” quite enthusiastically during the meeting and “competed to speak first.” Moreover, Xi Jinping has presided over at least 8 special meetings to solicit opinions from all parties. It can be seen that the fighting between the CCP gangs is extremely fierce. Some analysts believe that the CCP may have a coup at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Biden wants to change vice president?
Yesterday (16th), Fox News broke the news that the relationship between Biden and Harris has been quite bad. Almost to the point where Harris is about to be fired, but the White House is working hard to create the impression that there is no difference between the two.
In yesterday’s Fox News talk show “Team of Five,” the host and former White House spokesperson Perino stated that there is indeed a procedure for appointing a new vice president during the presidency. He said that although this is very unusual and very rare, it is not without precedent.
Perino pointed out that in the history of the United States, more than a dozen presidents did not have a vice president during all or part of their tenure, or appointed a new vice president during their tenure.
Perino said, āThis is one of the things the White House hopes you donāt believe you see. But everyone can see the problem. Last week they held the first cabinet meeting in three months, and they didnāt even see it. The silhouette of Harris.”
Perino said that the disagreement between Biden and Harris “began to be exposed” last weekend. Perino was referring to an amazing revelation by CNN on the 14th.
The CNN report stated that they interviewed dozens of Harris aides, Biden government officials, and other relevant people. They all stated that Biden and Harris were “dissatisfied with each other” and were in “infighting.” The article also stated that Harris had also told cronies that she was “fettered” and so on.
The Fox News correspondent Pegeland also made a report not long ago, which mentioned that “Congress is preparing for something that has not been done in many years, and that is the process of confirming the candidate for the new vice president.”
Pegeland also pointed out in his Podcast that the most recent appointment of a new vice president during the presidency of the United States was initiated by former President Ford who succeeded Nixon in 1974 and the Democratic Congress at the time.
The CCP’s media is blindly optimistic that it is not easy for the U.S. vice president to change
Since CNN broke the news, the media in mainland China have been hyping the matter, and even more concerned about this matter than the Americans. Looking at the various propaganda of the CCP, it seems to be a certainty.
The Chinese Communist Party’s media hype Biden and Harris’ disagreement has two purposes. One is that the CCP really hopes that the United States will be in chaos and that there will be infighting in the White House, so that the CCP can profit from it. If there really is infighting in the White House, and even if Biden replaces the vice president, the CCP believes that it may overwhelm the United States and weaken its attack on the CCP.
But the CCP media is wishful thinking and self-advanced. Because the highest level of the Chinese Communist Party wants to replace an official, it only needs a briefing and it’s over. As for the NPC voting, it is just a form. In fact, the various factions of the CCP have reached internal agreements in the previous closed-door meetings.
The United States is a democratic country and is fundamentally different from the totalitarian regime of the Chinese Communist Party. No matter how powerful the president of the United States is, he has no power to change the vice president. According to the U.S. Constitution, the president and vice president are appointed by Congress, and Congress has the power to decide on the replacement.
The replacement of the vice president in the United States can happen only under two circumstances. One is that the vice president himself may resign on suspicion of serious violations of the law. If he does not resign, he may also be impeached and stepped down. The other is that the vice president has an accident, such as a physical condition that is unable to govern or unfortunately passes away. Only in these two situations is it possible to change the vice president.
In addition, even if Harris is actually replaced, the US attack on the CCP will not be affected in any way. Just as the Trump administration dealt a full blow to the CCP, some CCP media said at that time that the United States might change its attitude and stance towards the CCP under the Democratic government.
Now everyone has seen that although the Biden administration has had contacts with the CCP in various aspects, and even some policies have been loosened, the Biden administration has not softened on some major issues against the CCP, such as its position on Taiwan. .
Biden’s fourth “spoken error”?Taiwan takes control of its own destiny
Today (17th), the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China Zhao Lijian said that the United States should abide by the “One China Principle” and the “Three CommuniquĆ©s” between China and the United States. He claimed that this is an “important consensus” between the United States and China and also the “political basis” of US-China relations.
Zhao Lijianās latest statement has completely changed from what the CCPās large and small media said yesterday (16th). In the morning, Biden and Xi Jinping held their first video dialogue. On the Taiwan issue, the two sides fought over the air. But in subsequent reports, there are serious differences between the United States and China.
According to the Xinhua News Agency report, Biden stated that the United States is committed to “pursuing the one-China policy, does not support Taiwan independence, and hopes that the Taiwan Strait will maintain peace and stability.”
However, the statement of the White House did not “do not support Taiwan independence.” The statement said, “Biden emphasized that the United States still adheres to the one-China policy guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the Three U.S.-China CommuniquĆ©s, and the six guarantees to Taiwan. The U.S. firmly opposes unilateral changes to the status quo or undermining the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.”
It can be seen from the statements of both parties that one party must be lying about the Taiwan issue. Who is lying?
After the video summit with Xi Jinping yesterday (16th), Biden then gave another explanation to the media. Bloomberg reported that Biden not only clearly stated that he “supports the Taiwan Relations Act,” but also said that “it (Taiwan) is independent and it is up to it to make its own decisions.”
I have noticed that some media have referred to Biden’s statement as a “spoken error.” If it is a “spoken error,” this is at least the fourth time Biden has made a “spoken error” publicly in the near future. On the Taiwan issue, with such frequent similar statements, would you believe that Biden was “spoken”?
Taiwanās Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a statement that the Chinese Communist Partyās official media deliberately misled or misinterpreted the statements or positions of other countries, “has been a habitual offender,” and has dishonest internationally.
The U.S. is particularly concerned that 10 countries including the CCP will boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics
There are two other things that must be said. The first thing is that US Secretary of State Blincoln issued a statement today (17th), affirming that 10 countries including the CCP have violated their religious freedom this year.
Brinken stated in the statement that according to the International Religious Freedom Law, countries such as Myanmar and the Chinese Communist Party are deemed to be classified as “countries of special concern” because they engage in or tolerate “systematic, continuous and serious violations of religious freedom.”
The Secretary of State said in the statement, āWe (the United States) will continue to pressure all governments to amend their laws and behavioral deficiencies, and promote those responsible for infringements to be held accountable.ā
Brinken emphasized, āThe United States is committed to working with members of the government, civil rights organizations, and religious groups to promote global religious freedom, and to try to solve the suffering of individuals or communities who face violations, harassment, and discrimination because of their beliefs or unbelief.ā
I noticed that below the VOA related report, a netizen left a message saying, āThe US-China talks are over, and indeed the first slapped fan is here.ā
The second thing is the news that the United States will boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics. Yesterday (16th), the “Washington Post” quoted news from insiders that the Biden administration will soon announce a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
According to government sources, the White House will announce sooner or later that neither Biden nor any US government official will participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics. At the same time, the United States will inform its allies of this decision, but let them decide for themselves whether to follow up with the boycott.
Sources said that the US diplomatic boycott was a response to the Chinese Communist government’s human rights violations without affecting American athletes.
There are still three months to go before the Beijing Winter Olympics. This decision by the United States is also a major blow to the CCP. If the United States does not send officials to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, it can prove that there is an irreconcilable opposition between the free and democratic United States and the totalitarian and tyrannical CCP.
If the US allies followed up and publicly boycotted the Beijing Winter Olympics, it would further highlight the CCPās severe isolation in the international community and reflect the CCPās image of a gangster who violates human rights.
As former Secretary of State Pompeo said to “Sky News”, “The world must recognize that the Chinese Communist Party is a rogue regime”, “It is a regime that intends to rule the world“, it is a regime that “does not respect Western values āāand human lives.” , Is a political party that tramples on the rights of its own people.”
Official media leaked decision to delay insider Xi was forced to retreat by high-level officials
Besides, the second purpose of the CCPās enthusiasm for Biden and Harrisā disagreement is that the CCP is trying to divert the attention of the country and the peopleās attention to various domestic scandals, especially the CCPās infighting. But this is also in vain, because the Chinese Communist Party’s official media themselves are reporting some little-known inside stories.
Everyone has noticed that the third historical resolution in the history of the Chinese Communist Party was announced 5 days after the end of the Sixth Plenary Session. This is very unusual. What happened during this period, and why did it take so long?
Today (17th), the Chinese Communist Partyās official media Xinhuanet posted an article on the top of the article, “The Birth of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Resolution on the Partyās Major Achievements and Historical Experiences in a Century of Struggle”.
It stated that during the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, after Xi Jinping made an explanation on the discussion draft of the resolution, the participants had a “two and a half days full discussion” and “a total of 138 amendments were proposed.” Based on comments, the document drafting group “made 22 amendments to the discussion draft.”
Yesterday (16th), news came out of the Internet in Mainland China that during the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, there was a āfierce debateā within the CCP. According to the news, at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee before the Sixth Plenary Session, Li Keqiang proposed that the Sixth Plenary Session must clarify the relationship between the third historical resolution and the previous two historical resolutions, especially the question that the second resolution is not counted. clear.
After Li Keqiang put forward this opinion, it immediately sparked a dispute among the seven giants of the Chinese Communist Party. Li Keqiang, Wang Yang, and Han Zheng believed that the second historical resolution in Deng Xiaoping’s period “calculated.” However, Li Zhanshu believes that the second resolution should be viewed with a development and change attitude, and Zhao Leji showed a sway. The news did not mention Wang Huning’s performance. In the end, Xi Jinping stated before the Sixth Plenary Session that the first two historical resolutions “calculated.”
The source also said that during the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee, 10 groups discussed the relationship between the new resolution and the previous two resolutions for 3 days. It is said that “the discussion is enthusiastic and there is a lot of controversy”. During the period, some opinions expressed that if the second historical resolution is recognized as count, then the second resolution has a clear discussion on personality cult and term limits. What should we do now?
I cannot confirm the rumors in this market, nor can I determine the authenticity of the news. However, the Chinese Communist Party’s official media “People’s Daily” published an unusual article on the 13th, in which it was disclosed that there had been “scrambling” to speak during the closed-door group discussion of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee.
The report stated that at the plenary group meeting, “everyone scrambled to speak first, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.” Sometimes, as soon as the speech of the Central Committee members or alternate members in the speech box fell, several people stood up to speak at the same time, and even after the meeting was adjourned, the debate was still not over, “walking in twos and threes while discussing and communicating.”
The report also pointed out that the focus of the debate among the participating factions involved how to treat the issue of the first two historical resolutions. The article said that “a century of party history spans a large time span and involves a wide range of issues, and there are many issues that need to be studied. How to handle the relationship between the new historical resolution and the previous two historical resolutions is a matter of great concern to the comrades participating in the meeting.”
Judging from the “People’s Daily” report, the truth of the above-mentioned rumor is relatively large. In other words, at the top level of the Chinese Communist Party, most likely to oppose the third historical resolution advocated by Xi Jinping, or at least express different opinions, and eventually force Xi Jinping to make a concession.
Yesterday (16th) in the program, I have mentioned that this third historical resolution is nothing new and basically continues the previous characterization of the Cultural Revolution and “June 4th”. Obviously, this is the result of Xi Jinping’s compromise.
However, around this third historical resolution, Xi Jinping may be forced to retreat more than once.
Xi has been restrained and compromised many times? The army opposes Xi?
In today (17th) Xinhuanet topped this article, from beginning to end the release of the third historical resolution of the Communist Party of China, including the process of anti-corruption soliciting opinions from all parties and making amendments based on their opinions during the preliminary drafting.
The article stated that the document drafting group headed by Xi Jinping has repeatedly solicited opinions and suggestions from all parties. Among them, Xi Jinping “hosted 3 times” the drafting group plenary meeting, “hosted 3 times” the Politburo Standing Committee meeting, “hosted 2 times” the Politburo meeting. Both the Central Standing Committee and the Politburo members put forward “revision opinions and suggestions.”
From these descriptions, it can be seen that Xi Jinping has presided over at least 8 different meetings on the third historical resolution. As the top official mouthpiece of the CCP, Xinhua News Agency intends to boast that the CCP is “paying attention to listening to the voices of all parties and absorbing different opinions”, which is the “full-process democracy” boasted by the CCP.
But in fact, Xi Jinping presided over meetings at different levels to solicit opinions from all parties, which is a process of compromising with different factions.
Everyone knows that the CCP is closed to politics and discusses major issues behind closed doors. Whenever major events are encountered, the gangs and powerful groups first negotiate internally. All parties will put forward their own opinions based on the maximization of their own interests. Then the various factions blended with each other and reached an agreement acceptable to all parties before the announcement.
From this perspective, Xi Jinping repeatedly presided over various meetings for soliciting opinions, which is actually a process of interest competition among the various factions of the CCP.
Of course, Xi Jinping must first pay attention to the opinions of the current Politburo Standing Committee members and members, so there are 5 meetings specifically to solicit the opinions of these people. After these people are satisfied, they have to listen to the opinions of the “old leaders” who have nominally retired.
As you all know, the political ecology of the CCP has a characteristic, the highest-level officials basically belong to the “lifelong system.” The CCP has always had a tradition of “elderly people in politics”. Even if they have retired, the influence of the political elders is still there, so Xi Jinping has to seek their opinions.
How to solicit opinions? There are a lot of political elderly people in the CCP, and they cannot consult one by one. It will take a lot of time. How to do it? Everyone came to the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee to discuss, just like the other traditional “Beidaihe Conference” of the CCP. Everyone got together, put forward their opinions, and then made the final blend.
Why did the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee discuss for two and a half days? Why did 138 comments after the constant solicitation of comments before? These controversies and opinions are likely to come from the political veterans of the CCP.
Analyzing from this perspective, Xi Jinping is far from holding out. Although he had already called out “fixed to one”, in fact, Xi Jinping is probably still being checked and balanced by the various factions of the Chinese Communist Party.
The key reason for Xi Jinping’s checks and balances is that he may not have complete control of the CCP army. So far, the new resolution of the Sixth Plenary Session has been released for two days, but the CCPās Military Commission has not publicly stated its position.
The CCP has always said that āgovernment comes from the barrel of the gunā, but what does the military commissionās delay in making a statement mean? I said that silence may have two meanings, one is acquiescence, and the other is silent protest. What kind of army is it? Xi Jinping should be able to figure it out.
Will there be a “coup” at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China?
Cheng Xiaonong, a political and economic doctor in the United States, wrote an article that Xi Jinping started to centralize power in order to cope with the power struggle because of the outbreak of high-level power struggles. Because anti-corruption was blocked, finally embarked on the road of restoring individual power.
The article stated that in the face of Xi Jinping’s personal centralization, next year’s 20th CPC National Congress is likely to break out more intense power struggles. One is naturally Xi Jinping, and the other is many other political enemies.
However, Xiaonong believes that even though Xi Jinping has political opponents, it does not mean that he will fall into the hands of political opponents. In the past ten years, Xi Jinping has gained power through anti-corruption and other forms. It is difficult for political opponents to pose a threat to him. But he does have the threat of a “secret coup.”
As you all know, there was a secret coup in the history of the Chinese Communist Party. It was after the death of Mao Zedong that the “Gang of Four” was arrested. The arrest was mainly made by Wang Dongxing, who was in charge of the power of the guard.
After Mao Zedong’s death, Wang Dongxing turned to Hua Guofeng, Mao’s successor, and together with Ye Jianying, who controlled the army, launched the coup. Cheng Xiaonong pointed out that Xi Jinping’s crisis mainly lies in who controls the security bureau.
The good in human nature
Finally, I will talk about a lighter topic, which is about the goodness of human nature.
A woman named Jayadewan from India posted a thank-you letter on Twitter. It was the Vidya Institute of Technology who thanked her for donating money to help students attend school.
Jayadhwan said that in the past, her parentsā monthly salary totaled only 14,000 Indian rupees, which was about US$188. With this income, it is difficult to feed a family of four, let alone go to college.
But Jayadhwan finished university because a stranger used a scholarship to help him complete his studies. And now I have to give back to the society and become a stranger to help others.
In the thank-you letter posted by Jayadhwan, Vidya Institute of Technology stated that the 5-member committee will visit the homes of students applying for funding to find out whether the family financial conditions of these students meet the eligibility for scholarships.
A netizen left a message to Jaya Dewan, “This world needs more kind people like you.”
Coincidentally, there is a similar video on Instagram. An American man picked up a purse and found the owner of the purse based on the ID information in the purse.
The film shows that when the man knocked on the door, a woman named Jin opened the door. Then the man said that he found a leather bag in the parking lot to see if it was a gold leather bag.
Jin began to say that it was not his own purse, nor did he recognize that it was his daughter’s purse. But when the man showed the documents including the bank card in the purse, Jin immediately said that it belonged to her daughter, and then the man gave the purse to Jin.
