[New Tang Dynasty News, Beijing time, January 31, 2024]A few days ago, the Chinese Communist Party’s Military Commission held a New Year’s performance to express condolences to veteran military leaders in Beijing. Official footage showed Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping appearing, but looking unsteady. Xu Qiliang, the former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission who was previously rumored to be under investigation, also appeared.

China Central Television reported on January 30 that on the 29th, the Chinese Communist Party’s “Central Military Commission’s condolences to veteran cadres of the troops stationed in Beijing to celebrate the New Year” was held in Beijing. Xi Jinping attended, and Zhang Youxia, He Weidong, Liu Zhenli, Miao Hua, and Zhang Shengmin watched together.

Footage broadcast from CCTV showed that most of the current and former leaders of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China were present. Former CMC vice-chairmen Xu Qiliang, Fan Changlong and former CMC member Li Zuocheng were also watching the performance. However, former Defense Minister Wei Fenghe was not seen in the footage, so it was impossible to confirm whether he attended.

Xu Qiliang (third from left, front row), the former vice chairman of the CCP’s Military Commission who was previously rumored to be under investigation, appeared.

In October last year, the CCP Defense Minister Li Shangfu was dismissed from his post; at the end of December of the same year, three senior CCP military industry officials and nine generals were dismissed from their posts. On January 29 this year, Wang Xiaojun, director of the Chinese Communist Party’s Launch Vehicle Technology Research Institute, was revoked as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. There were rumors that Xu Qiliang and Wei Fenghe were under investigation.

CCTV footage also showed that when Xi Jinping walked into the scene, although he smiled and waved, his walk looked weird, unsteady and unsteady.

Recently, rumors about Xi Jinping’s illness have spread. On January 25, a post about Xi suffering from pancreatic cancer went viral on the overseas X platform. The post was also accompanied by a photo of Xi attending the farewell ceremony for Zhang Kehui’s body on January 17. At that time, Xi looked haggard and thin.

In fact, rumors about Xi’s health problems have been circulating in recent years. At the end of 2021, it was reported that Xi was rushed to the hospital for treatment due to “cerebral hemorrhage”.

In May 2022, the British “Daily Mail” disclosed that Xi was suspected of suffering from a “brain aneurysm”, but he was unwilling to undergo surgery and hoped to treat it through other methods.

Last November, well-known British prophet Craig Hamilton-Parker made a prediction for 2024. He said Xi Jinping was ill and that his illness was serious but had been concealed, adding that Xi’s illness was likely to lead to his ouster and that divisions within the CCP could eventually lead to unrest.

Current political commentator Zhou Xiaohui recently wrote an article in The Epoch Times that Xi’s condition on the 17th alone is not sufficient to prove that Xi suffers from pancreatic cancer. This may be someone at the top of the CCP deliberately letting the news slip, or it may actually be true, triggering civil strife within the CCP, especially among officials in the Xi camp.

Current political commentator Yuan Bin’s article analyzed that if Xi’s health is really in serious condition as rumored, it is not a trivial matter. It will definitely have a major impact on Xi’s power and the political situation of the CCP, and Zhongnanhai is bound to set off huge waves.

An article by current affairs commentator Wang Youqun stated that although Xi tried every means to prevent coups, mutinies, and assassinations, Xi had made too many enemies and was unable to prevent them. Xi’s nerves are tense every day, how can his body not be in trouble? Looking at the whole of China and the whole world, nothing is going well in the CCP’s domestic and foreign affairs. Can Xi’s physical and mental health be smooth?

Zhou Xiaohui pointed out that during the more than ten years that Xi has been in power, the persecution of Falun Gong, the persecution of dissidents of all ethnic groups, and even organ harvesting have not ended; especially in the past five years, he has accelerated his left turn, antagonized the United States externally, supported Russia and became enemies of Europe and the United States. , internally, private enterprises were suppressed, the economy was in decline, and at the same time, a purge was carried out within the party to strengthen the control of the people. The extreme blockade of the epidemic for three years has aroused people’s dissatisfaction… From officialdom to the public, many people are sitting back and waiting. Something happened to it.

Zhou Xiaohui said that no matter from the perspective of God’s will or the morale of officials, the military, and the people, the leader of the Communist Party of China and the CCP are not far from the end. Xi Jinping, who has accumulated a lot of sins, is destined to get the consequences. However, if he is not in good health, he will be betrayed by his subordinates. God should have already made arrangements, and everyone just needs to wait for a certain moment to happen.
