A hidden agenda or a lack of knowledge? Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping visited the armed forces in Fujian Province from March 22 to 25, but the Communist Party media delayed the report, a rare occurrence. During this period, the Chinese Communist Party sent 20 military planes to violate Taiwan‘s airspace, the largest military operation in recent years, which suddenly heated up the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
Recently, the Chinese Communist Party has been frequently fighting with the world, causing public anger, and in the end, it may have lost face as well as face! Western media and politicians have criticized the Chinese Communist Party’s boycott of foreign brands as “weaponization” of the market and “economic kidnapping”. At the same Time, this may reduce China’s exports and accelerate the outward movement of the industrial chain.
As the demographic dividend disappears, economists say China’s GDP per capita will not catch up with the United States in at least 50 years, and the legitimacy of the Communist Party’s rule will be undermined.
Beijing at a loss as to what to do with Taiwan? Party Media Delays Xi Jinping’s Inspection of Armed Police in Fujian
Chinese Communist Party General Secretary Xi Jinping recently visited Fujian Province, the outside world has been concerned about whether he visited the military, but until the end of the trip on the 25th, the official did not disclose the relevant news, the evening of the 26th, Xinhua News Agency reported.
According to the Xinhua News Agency, Xi Jinping was in Fujian from March 22 to 25, visiting Nanping, Sanming and Fuzhou. He inspected the training of the Second Mobile Force of the Armed Police in Fuzhou on the morning of March 24, and then listened to a report on the tasks carried out by the force through a video system.
Xi then asked to fully implement the spirit of the military training conference of the military commission, adhere to the focus on the preparation for war, in-depth promotion of actual combat and practical training.
The 25th of the official media Xinhua News Agency press release shows that for cross-strait issues, Xi Jinping in the morning of the 25th to listen to the CPC Fujian Provincial Committee and the provincial government work report, but called for “to promote integration, to promote integration, to benefit, to promote integration” to promote cross-strait integration and development.
Xi Jinping mentioned the so-called cross-strait integration in Fujian, which was considered by foreign media as “soft words”, different from the tone of preparing for war and fighting.
The U.S. Indo-Pacific Commander warned on the 25th that the Chinese Communist Party may try to occupy Taiwan within six years, and Ren Guoqiang, spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Defense, also said at a press conference on the 25th that the U.S. warned that the Chinese Communist Party may invade Taiwan in the next six years, which is to exaggerate the Chinese Communist Party’s military threat. China opposes this.
Cui Lei, a scholar at the China Institute of International Studies, a think tank affiliated with the Chinese Foreign Ministry, has also written to the East Asia Forum, an Australian research journal, stressing that China is unlikely to complete unification by force anytime soon.
According to the Voice of America, a number of scholars in regional security, defense and international relations have observed that there is uncertainty as to whether and when the Chinese Communist Party will use force. However, the ambiguity of the strategy toward Taiwan has given Beijing some policy space, but at the same time, it also shows that Beijing is at a loss as to what to do with Taiwan.
The situation in the Taiwan Strait has risen sharply as the largest number of Chinese military aircraft invaded Taiwan, including 10 warplanes.
On the same day that the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) and the U.S. Representative Office signed a memorandum of cooperation on maritime patrol, the Chinese military sent a total of 20 military aircraft to disturb Taiwan’s southwest air defense identification zone (ADIZ) and the southeast, the largest number of sorties since the Ministry of National Defense (MND) of the Republic of China released its statistics.
Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said that four H-6K bombers with nuclear power and 10 J-16 fighter jets were among the Chinese military aircraft that disturbed Taiwan on Friday, which is unusual. It was the largest incursion by Chinese Communist military aircraft and marked a sharp escalation of tensions in the Taiwan Strait.
Premier Li Keqiang sings the opposite? News blocked as he inspects foreign companies amid boycott wave
While China has recently launched a boycott of foreign goods, the Chinese Premier visited Jiangsu province, which is Home to many foreign companies, and visited the BASF chemical plant, a joint venture between China and Germany, on the 26th.
This enterprise has provided chemical raw materials for Nike, Adidas and other brands.
Li Keqiang began his visit to Jiangsu on the 25th, but the central media did not report his trip in detail, only the State Council’s Chinese government website. Li mainly toured high-tech companies in Jiangsu, telling employees at one of them to “work in a down-to-earth manner.
China’s economic kidnapping sparks global outrage: U.S. media: China’s global Culture of cancellation
After the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union imposed sanctions on the Chinese Communist Party on Monday over human rights in Xinjiang, a popular boycott of Western retailers in China was triggered this week by accusations made by the Communist Youth League against the Swedish company H&M.
As the boycott was sanctioned by the Communist government, shares of H&M, NIKE and other companies plummeted and Chinese celebrities took a stand to cut ties with brands like Adidas, New Balance and Japan’s Uniqlo.
The boycotted brands came from at least five countries – Sweden, Spain, the United States, Germany and Japan – the largest number of countries boycotted by China in the past.
“American consumers and consumers everywhere deserve to know that the goods they get or want to buy are not made under forced labor and that many companies are defending consumer rights,” White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters Friday.
“We believe that the international community should oppose the weaponization of private companies’ dependence on their markets by the Chinese (Communist) state as a means to commit acts that stifle free speech and suppress business ethics.”

Deutsche Welle 26 reported that Wang Yaqiu, a China researcher at Human Rights Watch, said she was somewhat surprised by the vulnerability of many international companies to economic threats from the Chinese Communist Party over the past few years, suggesting that the Communist Party’s practice of “economic kidnapping” has played a role in the corporate world to some degree.
Wang Yaqiu said, “This time so many European brands are forced to take a stand, which certainly makes the European public and government more antipathy to the Chinese (Communist Party) government.”
The financial tycoon Bass said in an interview with “Mornings with Maria,” a Fox News program, that the Chinese Communist Party has been destroying the world for decades, but companies are willing to set up store in China, and that from a national security perspective and a moral point of view, the U.S. government must avoid any association with the perpetrators of “The U.S. government must avoid developing business relationships with countries that commit “genocide” and “Crimes Against Humanity.
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused the Chinese Communist Party of committing “genocide” against the Uighurs in Xinjiang in January, and current Secretary of State Antony Blinken argued at a hearing the same month that China is the greatest threat to the United States, Bass said.
Examples of the Communist Party’s weaponization of markets abound. The National Basketball Association (NBA) was banned in China in 2019 after a team executive tweeted his support for pro-democracy protests by Hong Kong people. The Chinese Communist Party imposed retaliatory tariffs and boycotts on products such as Australian wine and barley after Canberra called for an investigation into the origins of COVID-19 last year.
An editorial in the Wall Street Journal titled “Beijing’s Global Culture of Cancellation” stated that the CCP’s strategy is to use China’s market power as leverage to stifle critics anywhere in the world. This includes corporations, university academics, journalists and governments. The CCP will continue these commercial crackdowns until they no longer work.
