Hello, this is Lee Tae 1. On September 13, 2024, Deng Zhiping, the deputy commander of the People's Liberation Army of China, was dismissed from his position as a representative at the National People's Congress. To date, at least 12 high-ranking generals have been dismissed, and many individuals are currently missing. According to former continental journalist Jo Kwon, in an interview with the Korean-Chinese media, he received information from several military friends that Xi Jinping is planning a large-scale purge within the military, and that 70 military leaders will be arrested. This is interpreted as a warning regarding unstable elements within the military. According to publicly available information, Deng Zhiping, who was dismissed by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress this time, is 60 years old and holds the rank of lieutenant general in the People's Liberation Army. He participated in two border operations in the 1980s and has served as the head of the military affairs department of the Chengdu Military Region and as the chief of staff of the 144th Group Army.

After revoking the qualifications of the national people's representatives, the National People's Congress released another report revealing that he was involved in serious disciplinary violations and illegal activities. According to the report, Deng Ji Ping was already deprived of his representative position at the Military People's Congress on June 6, 2024, and he was secretly arrested before this revocation. However, this fact was not known to the outside world until the official announcement. According to statistics, as of September 13, the number of military representatives among the 144th National People's Congress representatives of the Communist Party has decreased from over 20 to 209. Among the 12 military generals dismissed from their positions as military representatives, four were major generals, six were lieutenant generals, and two were brigadier generals. Following the exposure of the corruption scandal in the Rocket Force, a large-scale purge has taken place within the Chinese military. The Minister of Defense, Yi Sang-bu, and all three commanders of the Rocket Force, including Okcho, Joo Han-young, and Eobong, have all lost their positions.

Already, there are rumors circulating about a large number of high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Equipment who are missing, aside from the publicly released list of those who have been managed for their falls from grace. However, the Chinese Communist Party has not announced the reasons for their investigations, and it is only when the disqualification of their status as representatives in the People's Congress or members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference is announced that it can be confirmed from the outside that they have already encountered incidents. On September 13, former Chinese journalist Zhao Lang disclosed on the X platform that another senior army official has been arrested. The individual arrested this time, Lim Bo, previously served as the secretary to the Deputy Minister of the Equipment Department, Li Xiang, and later worked as the Deputy Director of the Planning Department of the Equipment Development Department before being transferred to the position of Deputy Minister of the Army Equipment Department. He was arrested on the morning of September 13, and on the same morning, his home was searched. The search involved four to five vehicles, and his residence is located in the Xiaogu District of the Peace Village on Guanghua Road in Chaoyang District, Beijing.

Approximately 500 military personnel reside in the area. Additionally, the commander of the People's Liberation Army, Zhang Mingzai, has also been arrested. Zogor expressed concerns that Xi Jinping is planning wars with Taiwan and the Philippines and is even considering a third world war. Zogor stated that Xi Jinping is looking to attack Taiwan and is collaborating to wage war against the Philippines, which could lead to interference in Ukraine. He seems eager to engage in warfare, potentially even starting a third world war. However, he has instead ruined and depleted his own army first. What kind of strategy is this? The military officers have all been arrested. Mingzai is also a former military officer. Zogor further revealed that Xi Jinping plans to arrest 70 generals. Xi Jinping is expected to carry out large-scale arrests within the army, but no one is providing specific information about the situation. In addition to the State Council, many others are also involved.

Experts have been arrested, and hundreds of professionals have been blacklisted, preventing them from participating in project evaluations for life. The scope of the investigation is also very extensive. At the end of 2023, a large-scale simulation training was conducted at a military base, during which several scores fell short. Ultimately, a favorable evaluation was given, but this was because the administrator was a faction member from Jangyu City. The Chinese Navy is increasingly facing the possibility of war with the Philippines and is preparing for full-scale conflict. Currently, there is a lack of confidence within the Navy regarding victory, and there is no consensus in the analysis and operational command sectors. Nevertheless, there is significant pressure from higher-ups for strategic deployment. The Central Military Commission wishes to engage in war in the South China Sea. Lower-level military personnel are searching for justifications to manipulate the war narrative and are trying to find a cause for the outbreak of war based on this manipulated justification. The situation is also serious in the air force and missile sectors.

Three former directors of the Aerospace Science and Technology Institute have all been arrested, and it is not just these three individuals; their faction members have also been eliminated. The investigation is in a difficult situation due to significant losses in both technical and production aspects. Jang Tae-eun was arrested in the Soyuseong area. The director of the Aerospace Science and Technology Institute's military division has also been apprehended. In this large-scale operation, in addition to arresting individuals who were previously under the Rocket Force, efforts are being made to identify people with special connections to the military, particularly in production companies and the defense sector. They are looking to uncover issues related to bribery, financial and power transactions, and other matters that could involve them in the war. The background for the large-scale arrests of those working in defense companies and the defense industry department is the revelation that factions are killing each other. Corruption is not a significant issue in China.

They may even be ignored. What they are arresting are people related to the military, and the arrests are tied to the special relationship between the production department and the military. Once they engage in the war, not only the costs of military supplies but also the enormous military weapons and equipment will influence the outcome of the war. Regarding the issue of arresting generals, Xi Jinping will personally command and deploy the operations. There are plans to arrest 70 senior military leaders nationwide, while simultaneously establishing negative models and mobilizing criticism to warn against the instability within the military. In an interview with Han Zhongguo, Zhao Lang revealed that the above information was provided by several of his informants. He mentioned that in the past, he knew many military officials and figures from Hongdae, but he was forced to emigrate to the United States after getting involved in the Suisa incident and submitting evidence. Many of his friends believe that the CCP considers him a sensitive figure.

Because we are aware of the fact that we cannot contact directly, we are reaching out through various means and channels. The information disclosed this time has been confirmed to be reliable and accurate. We had to replace sensitive words with codes and make typos to avoid filtering on the internet and reduce risks to our friends in China. For example, the name mentioned above, Zhang Hongtai, is indeed Zhang Hongtai, and the so-called surname refers to a specific location that military personnel are aware of. He particularly emphasized that this government's actions represent a just contribution to those who love world peace, despite the life-threatening risks faced by his friends. Let us all be grateful to these brave military doctors. They have no external names, and they are the courageous individuals pushing Chinese society forward. In the future, when they are safe, we will reveal their righteous actions.

Recently, it has been reported that the Chinese economy is continuously deteriorating, causing many citizens and businesses to struggle with economic difficulties and fail to generate profits. Amid this situation, news has emerged that there has been a wave of resignations among senior executives of publicly listed companies in China over the past month. Many executives are abandoning the golden rice bowl that people dream of and are hastily leaving their positions. Among those resigning are notable figures such as the chairman of China Gold, Noh Jin, the chairman of Pacific Life Insurance, Ban Hong, the president of Bank of China, Liu Jin, the president of China Merchants Bank, Zhang Ying, the president of Transportation Bank, Liu Jun, the president of Chongqing Bank, Wang Ji, the chairman of Haizheng Pharmaceuticals, and the chairman of Hyundai Group, Dong Han. In response, netizens are expressing their bewilderment over the current state of China's financial sector. The phenomenon of mass resignations among senior executives of listed companies has raised fundamental questions regarding Chinese publicly listed companies.

I interpreted this as a signal of facing challenges. In the past month, nearly half of the resignation reports submitted have come from high-ranking officials related to the financial system, mostly from senior management in banks. The actual reasons behind this wave of resignations could be to avoid risks and evade responsibility or to realize profits in advance. Alternatively, these officials may be afraid of going to prison before illegal activities they are involved in are uncovered. The mass resignations of senior executives in the financial sector are not normal, and it has been noted that their resignations indicate a loss of confidence in their companies or stocks. Therefore, it is predicted that the stock prices of these companies are likely to drop significantly in the future, and traders are advised to withdraw quickly to minimize losses. Additionally, it has been suggested that these senior executives were essentially working on a powder keg, and their backing was...

She criticized that they hurriedly ran away when they disappeared. Meanwhile, the situation for ordinary citizens in China is worsening. Recently, a video circulating online captured scenes of various street vendors clashing with city management officials, drawing significant attention from netizens. In the video, a woman angrily shouts, Then you set the regulations! How can these people live if you say they can't? What kind of situation is the world in? Is there anyone without a mortgage or a car loan? Is there anyone who isn't in debt for their children's education? Who isn't? Right? Do you have money to pay for heating right now? Do you have money to buy a new down jacket in winter? Do you civil servants receive your salaries properly? Isn't everyone struggling? Can't we understand each other? Is it necessary to do this? You only say it's not allowed, but is that really possible?

We have never harmed the government, nor have we committed fraud or robbery. Why are you making us rebel? What do you want from us? Is it such a big problem to quietly do business here? We are just trying to earn a little money. If anyone had a better situation, there would be no reason to set up a stall here. Everyone is doing this because life is tough. This woman’s outcry about making a little money while facing the wind all day long was met with silence from the city officials present, who listened quietly without taking any action. One woman turned her back to the camera, and a male citizen holding a child approached a male official to speak, but the official responded with a smile. International netizens who watched this video left comments like, It's useless to talk to them; you should speak to the ones who gave the orders.

We must find that bureaucrats are oppressing the people, and the phenomena of the late dynasty are exploding. That's all for today's video. Thank you for watching.
