The 20th anniversary of the US-China crash, Beijing’s high-profile incitement against the US, behind the scenes of Wang Wei’s bizarre death
April 1 of this year marks the 20th anniversary of the U.S.-China plane collision. At a time when U.S.-China relations are strained, Beijing’s high-profile commemoration of Wang Wei, the pilot who was killed in the incident, has quickly made its way onto Weibo, setting off a new wave of anti-U.S. sentiment that the Chinese Communist Party is using to stir up anti-American sentiment among the Chinese public.
On April 1, 2001, a U.S. Navy EP-3 propeller reconnaissance aircraft was flying in the South China Sea when the Chinese Communist Party sent two J-8II fighters to monitor it. According to a video disclosed by the U.S. military, it was Wang Wei who provoked the fighter to crash when it hit the propeller of the U.S. plane out of control. And the U.S. military plane was forced to land at Lingshui Airport on Hainan Island.
After the crash, the U.S. side immediately expressed its willingness to assist in the search and rescue of Wang Wei. Three U.S. warships were nearby at the time, and if the Chinese side agreed, the advanced search and rescue capabilities of the U.S. ships and their shipboard helicopters would likely have saved Wang Wei. Jiang Zemin declared that human life came first, but refused to allow the U.S. military to search and rescue.
According to Wang Wei’s wingman pilot Zhao Yu, he saw one seat stabilizer and one life parachute each floating in the air after the collision. In other words, Wang Wei successfully parachuted out. So he returned to flight.
However, a report in the official media in 2004 showed that Wang Wei’s cockpit was still intact after his plane was recovered. If the ejection had been successful, the cockpit would never have been intact.
The likelihood of a failed ejection is high, but if that were the case, and Wang Wei did not die from the crash, but was hit or drowned from the failed ejection, it would be very embarrassing for the Chinese Communist Party.
The article “Wang Wei’s sacrifice exposed a huge flaw in China’s military that was finally made up after years of investment” on the daily headlines of mainland websites revealed that the Chinese Communist Party mobilized 100,000 soldiers and fishermen, sent 83 sorties and 55 ships, and spent 10 days in a major search to no avail.
According to the report, this is only in the Chinese offshore, there are parachute coordinates to mark the situation. Needless to say, it is a disgrace to a country’s ability to rescue its own fallen pilots when they cannot be found on its doorstep. This incident also forced China to put more effort into the field of maritime search and rescue.
Although Wang Wei parachuted out and was visually confirmed by his wingman, he was not successfully searched for in the subsequent massive search that lasted 10 days, and he was finally declared dead. This revealed the very weak search and rescue capability of the Chinese Communist Air Force.
No wonder netizens sarcastically said: “Fighter jets hit other reconnaissance aircraft, and they landed safely, while their own fighter jets were destroyed! What quality of fighter jet is this? Paper mache? Where is the ejection seat?”
Xinhua News Agency’s remarks provoked the wrath of the crowd of netizens: roll out to apologize
Recently, the Yunnan border city of Ruili, officials said there are a number of confirmed cases again closed the city. Apollo.com commentator Wang Duran said that the said multiple must not be true, the Chinese Communist Party said bad things, at least multiply by 10 times more. And when it comes to serious situations like the epidemic, we look at the situation in Wuhan, including our own analysis, international studies, and research papers sent by the medical community in mainland China to the international community. It’s usually several dozen times more.
Numerous netizens tell the hard work of their own or their family members’ participation in border guarding, refuting Xinhua’s unfounded accusations. (Weibo photo composite)
Xinhua, the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party’s central government, criticized Ruili for not learning a lesson, which led to the discontent of a large number of Ruili residents who were involved in border guarding.
Netizens want Xinhua News Agency to apologize! (Weibo picture)
Yunnan announced on March 31 that there were six new confirmed cases in the province on March 30, and three new “asymptomatic infections”, all in Ruili city. Five of the confirmed cases are Chinese nationals, while one confirmed case and three “asymptomatic infections” are Myanmar nationals.
Ruili is located on the border between China and Myanmar, with frequent travels. An article in Xinhua Daily Telegraph, a newspaper sponsored by Xinhua News Agency, the official media of the Communist Party of China (CPC), asked in a 31-day article: Six new local cases have been confirmed in Ruili, Yunnan Province.
According to the article, “What is worth asking is that in September last year, the city of Ruili had a number of confirmed cases and travel restrictions due to the smuggling of Burmese nationals into the country. This time, four Burmese nationals were among the newly diagnosed cases and new asymptomatic infections. One wonders if the lessons learned last time have been translated into more effective preventive measures. Does it mean that there are still loopholes in the local ‘external defense input’ that have not been closed?”

But this questioning has made local people, especially the large number of people involved in border defense, extremely unhappy. Some local people revealed that since the epidemic in September last year, Ruili City units pack sections on 24-hour duty, a large number of people were forced to participate in border guards.
“Xinhua News Agency ‘roll out’ to apologize”
A local netizen questioned: “Know how long the border of Yunnan is, Ruili is close to Myanmar, the smuggling of the inexhaustible defense, not set up a few checkpoints can be guarded, do not stand to speak not waist pain, at least understand clearly before bleeping it!”
There are also people reprimanded: “Chilling. All the citizens of Ruili City almost New Year’s Eve are guarding the border, how to prevent?”
“As the official media of a large country, open your mouth! As a journalist, not factual before writing! At the most serious time of the epidemic in Ruili, maliciously guide public opinion!”
Some netizens left a message, “You fucking X a Xinhua News Agency to deny the efforts of so many frontier people, you fucking X what the hell are you?” “The company has no conscience for the sake of eyeballs and wants Xinhua to “come out and apologize!”
After being bombarded by netizens, Xinhua News Agency later deleted the topic on Weibo, but the residual anger of local people has not yet subsided.
“Is it useful to delete the topic? Get out and apologize!”
“How also deleted the blog, you think the microblogging deleted, such brainless remarks to the people of Yunnan caused by the harm and questioning can follow no?”
Information shows that Ruili city is located on the southwestern border of China, adjacent to Myanmar’s port city of Muse, with a border line nearly 170 kilometers long, including 105 kilometers of rivers and 65 kilometers of land roads.
20 big CPC seven Standing Committee list out? Which people are on and which people are off?
In a recent op-ed published by Free Asia, according to some official traces of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping believes that no matter how much he has in mind, and although it is “set in stone”, the so-called “democracy” of the party will have to go through the process after all. According to the article, the future of the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China, Li Keqiang, who is over 67 years old and under 68 years old, although he can barely stay in office, the biggest possibility is to take the initiative to retire. The current Politburo members younger than Li Keqiang, Li Qiang, Chen Miner, Ding Xuexiang three old Xi, the possibility of joining the Standing Committee is nine out of ten, Hu Chunhua should be promoted to the Politburo Standing Committee is more likely than the possibility of being driven out of the Politburo. If the age standard is used, then Li Zhanshu and Han Zheng are among the “no further nominations”, and Wang Huning has more reason to be re-elected to the Politburo Standing Committee than Wang Yang.
Therefore, the author believes that one of the possible names for the new Politburo Standing Committee at the 20th National Congress is Xi Jinping, Zhao Leji, Hu Chunhua, Wang Huning, Chen Miner, Ding Xuexiang and Li Qiang.
Current affairs commentator Situ Jian wrote an article analyzing that one of the rules for promotion to state leaders is based on the so-called “political performance, integrity and career needs” of the candidates. This is fraught with power struggle. Because the determination of these criteria is often determined by factional wrestling and political compromises and deals. “Political performance” is often preferable to the left rather than the right, “cleanliness” is also empty words, as for the “career needs”, in fact, is the need to extend the life of the CPC.
Therefore, Situ Jian believes that it is very likely that Wang Huning will continue to act as Xi’s “national teacher” position. The reason is that Chen Miner himself started out as a propagandist for Xi, and he may replace Wang Huning if he joins the Standing Committee; Zhao Leji’s re-election is also unlikely, because he is involved in the Shaanxi 100 billion mining rights case, the Qinling villa case, plus now Xi Jinping has a lot of cronies in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, including the director of the State Supervision Commission, Yang Xiaodu, may have hollowed out Zhao Leji.
As for Wang Huning, it was rumored earlier that he was seeking to become vice president of the country and wanted to continue to serve as Xi’s “state teacher”. The reason is that Chen Miner himself started out as a propagandist for Xi Jinping, and he may replace Wang Huning if he joins the Standing Committee.
The age limit of “seven up and eight down” also has a bad origin. This is the “unspoken rule” of infighting created by former CCP leader Jiang Zemin when he forced out Qiao Shi and Li Ruihuan. Wang Qishan, who was supposed to fight against the tigers to get close to Jiang Zemin before the 19th CPC National Congress, was also hit by this “unspoken rule” and returned without any success, and was finally placed by Xi Jinping as a vice-president with no real power.
Xi Jinping is surrounded by ass-kissers. Most of the people Xi has reappointed are also cool officials, such as Chen Quanguo, who was stationed in Xinjiang, and other senior officials sent to Hong Kong. The Chinese Communist Party has come to this point, on the one hand, because there is no one in the dynasty, and on the other hand, because evil people are in charge. These people are all falsely loyal to their superiors, and they are doing everything they can to maintain stability and continue to accumulate blood debts to the people.
The Chinese Communist Party’s military hails Xi Jinping, shouting that it is ready for war and training but makes a fool of itself
Pictured is the Communist Party of China’s DF-31AG intercontinental ballistic missile at a military parade in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on Oct. 1, 2019.
On March 29, the Chinese Communist Party’s military newspaper published an article “Focus on preparing for war and improving the quality of training,” a high-profile echo of Xi Jinping, although recent reports of training on the Communist Party’s military website still reveal clips of embarrassing incidents from time to time.
The Epoch Times military commentator Shen Zhou wrote on March 30 that, on March 26, the Chinese Communist Party’s military network reported, “A brigade of the rocket army’s combat-oriented confrontation exercise: a blue detachment triggered the “catfish effect,” saying that in late March, a brigade of the rocket army organized a red-blue confrontation exercise …… The fifth battalion was attacked and blocked by the blues on the way to the launch position, and the sixth battalion launched an emergency detachment to cover the friendly forces to occupy the position on time. The blue army detachment is not willing to lose, immediately start a new action: a group in the dark night quietly penetrate, ready to sneak attack the two launch battalions of water; another group on the “red army” launch position to carry out close reconnaissance, plan to guide the “warplane” to bombing …… a blue army scout actually disguised as a wounded man to blend into the “red army” position ……
Shen Zhou said that the rocket army should train how to quickly and accurately complete the missile launch mission, but this missile brigade but special training land forces confrontation subjects, position attack and defense training, it is really incredible. Is it that the rocket army generals do not know how to train their troops, or are they too idle and feel they have nothing to do?
What the Chinese Communist Rocket Army fears most should be being attacked by U.S. air strikes. This suggests that this missile brigade should operate ballistic missiles, either Dongfeng-41 or Dongfeng-31 intercontinental ballistic missiles, or Dongfeng-26 or Dongfeng-21 medium-range ballistic missiles, otherwise they would not be the target of U.S. airstrikes. Anti-aircraft attack should indeed be considered a training subject for the rocket army, but if really locked by U.S. bombers, there is basically no chance of survival. The U.S. military has presumably learned about the pre-determined positions of the Chinese rocket forces.
The Chinese Rocket Force should also know that it cannot defend against the U.S. B-2 stealth bomber, and it would be useless to camouflage it any further, so it can only do a token position attack and defense training, but actually treat the U.S. special forces as imaginary enemies. There is no need for the U.S. military to go to the trouble of sending special forces to infiltrate CCP rocket positions, and even if they did, would the CCP rocket forces be able to resist?
On March 26, the Chinese Communist Party’s military website reported, “Salute! Naval Air Force a brigade special pilot Zhu Hongbo farewell war eagle, gloriously grounded”, early March, the East China Sea coast …… a confrontation air combat exercise was then staged …… red pilot in the escape from the “enemy After “locking”, recognize the other side “low attack” tactics, and then a large angle into, steadily occupy the bite tail advantage, a “shoot down” target …… Zhu Hongbo 27 years, more than 3,000 hours of flying career behind, is the outstanding completion of the task again and again.
Shen Zhou said the story of this special pilot, of course, is for political propaganda, but reveals the shortcomings of the training of the Chinese Communist Navy aviation. First, the air combat this special pilot rehearsed was still close-range combat, not modern over-the-horizon air combat, perhaps revealing the poor radar performance of the CCP’s warplanes. This pilot has been flying for 27 years and has accumulated more than 3,000 flight hours, roughly averaging 111 hours per year, or less than 10 hours per month, which is still a Communist Party special pilot, and other pilots may not be able to achieve such training hours.
The life span of CCP fighters is also shorter. J-11 and J-16, which imitate Su-27 and Su-30, have a life span of about 3,000-4,000 hours; the life span of US fighters is usually 10,000 hours. This should be one of the main reasons why it is difficult for Chinese pilots to increase their training time, otherwise they would not be able to replenish their aircraft in time after rapid wear and tear.
Netizens comment that the Chinese Foreign Ministry has become a “training camp for international hooligans”
Chinese diplomats have recently been competing with each other to utter vicious words, as if in a competition to see who can curse more fiercely than the other, which has shocked public opinion at home and abroad.
Yuan Bin, a commentator for the Epoch Times, recently wrote that on March 29, Li Yang, the Chinese Consul General in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (on the official Twitter account @CGChinaLiYang), tweeted a “vulgar” attack on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: “Boy, your greatest achievement is to undermine China and Canada. Your greatest achievement is to destroy the friendly relationship between China and Canada and turn Canada into a lapdog of the US. You are a loser!!!”
A tweet criticizing the Chinese Communist Party’s diplomatic officials was labeled by Li Yang as a “cynical dog”. Some well-meaning netizens advised the Chinese Communist Party not to use rogue language in diplomacy because it is a “diplomatic failure,” but Li Yang said, “This is a language they can understand.
As the old saying goes, if the top is good, the bottom will be very Yan. The rapid degeneration of the Chinese Foreign Ministry into an “international rogue training camp” is ultimately the inevitable result of Xi Jinping’s repeated advocacy and emphasis on the philosophy of struggle.
Many netizens said in response, “It’s really hard to imagine that an ambassador to a foreign country that claims to be a great rejuvenated nation can be so vulgar as to curse on twitter, which is visible to the whole world.”
“Chinese Communist Consul General in Rio de Janeiro, Li Yang, another war wolf diplomat. Do you want the “One Honored One” to see such a show with your teeth and claws?”
“This diplomat is like a scolding scoundrel, is there no one else in China?”
“I wonder what the difference is with a village woman scolding the street”?
“Is there no threshold for a diplomat to take office now, as long as he can curse?” “This diplomatic position bought with money, right? How low level like this, no level at all, really shame.”
