Amid global attention, Beijing held a military parade on September 3.
On the surface, it was a grand display of military power, but in the gloomy sky and the gloomy atmosphere of the Xi regime, the parade revealed many strange signs. Whether it was the grandeur of the military formation, the impressive equipment, or the cheers of the crowds, it was difficult to hide the fact that the fate of the Chinese Communist regime is heading towards decay and collapse.
From the video footage of the parade, on September 3, Beijing’s sky was shrouded in haze, presenting a dark gray color with no clear blue sky or white clouds, as if a grand stage performance was covered layer by layer with gray cloth, enveloping everything inside and out.
No matter how this regime wants to demonstrate its strength and intimidation through this grand performance, it is ultimately difficult to escape the gloomy tone set by the heavens.
When the Chinese Communist Party organizes major events like the Olympics and military parades, they have always attached great importance to the expression of the heavens. However, the CCP does not worship heaven devoutly like traditional Chinese rulers to seek the favor of the heavens, but instead tries to rely on so-called black technology to control rain, disperse smog, and even at the expense of harming the people, achieve its goals by restricting basic livelihood activities.
During the Beijing Summer Olympics in 2008 and the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022, to ensure the air quality at the opening ceremony, the CCP authorities had taken various measures to restrict people’s livelihoods a month in advance, including restrictions on vehicle use, production shutdowns for businesses, and construction site closures, resulting in significant losses for businesses and the public.
Prior to the military parade commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory in the war against Japan in 2015, the CCP also took similar extreme measures to create an artificial blue sky. The term “parade blue” became popular at that time.
However, in this year’s September 3 parade, no matter how much the CCP struggled, it could not escape the gloomy face shown to it by the heavens.
Not only did the heavens not give the CCP a good face, the CCP leader himself also found it difficult to put on a good face.
In theory, whoever inspects the world’s second most powerful military force should exude a sense of relaxation, joy, and confidence. However, from the video footage, Xi Jinping appeared throughout the parade with a gloomy expression, tense muscles, and not a hint of a relaxed or cheerful normal expression.
Furthermore, when Xi spoke, he seemed subdued and lacking in vigor, completely devoid of the solemnity and confidence that a supreme commander of the armed forces would have while inspecting the troops. He seemed like a manipulated puppet, speaking cautiously, without daring to show any deviations in his words, expressions, or attitude.
The footage also showed Xi Jinping walking unsteadily, with his legs sometimes not in sync when walking on the Tiananmen Gate tower. Speculation abound, suggesting Xi Jinping may have this illness or that illness, some even say he looks “bewildered, as if his vitality is running out.”
But even if a top leader is unwell, if he insists on presiding over such grand events while ill, people should still see a sense of inner joy emanating from him. However, from Xi Jinping’s performance on this occasion, observers saw that he seemed to not only be physically ill but also to have significant mental issues.
Prior to the September 3 parade, according to former Chinese Navy Colonel Yao Cheng, several generals in the Chinese military jointly submitted a letter to the Central Military Commission bluntly stating, “We do not accept the inspection of those who bring disaster to the country and the people.” This statement directly targeted Xi Jinping. Although the authenticity of this letter has not been officially confirmed, the underlying reflection of dissatisfaction within the military is considered trustworthy.
Xi Jinping’s confused and lackluster performance during the parade may be a true reflection of his mental state after losing military authority.
According to tradition, the supreme commander of a military parade is generally taken on by the highest military commander of the region where the parade is held. Since Beijing falls under the Central Theater Command, the supreme commander of the parade should have been Commander Wang Qiang of the Central Theater Command.
However, Wang Qiang has not been seen publicly for a long time and his whereabouts are unknown. Prior to the parade, the CCP had not announced the selection of the supreme commander for the parade, sparking speculation.
It was not until the beginning of the parade that it was revealed through live footage that Major General Han Shengyan, Commander of the Air Force of the Central Theater Command, was appointed as the supreme commander of the parade. So, where is General Wang Qiang, the Commander of the Central Theater Command?
On July 31 this year, the Chinese Ministry of Defense held a reception in Beijing for the so-called Armed Forces Day. Observers noted that compared to the previous year’s reception, at least nine active-duty senior generals were missing from the main table, including Political Commissar Xu Deqing and Commander Wang Qiang of the Central Theater Command.
Independent commentator Du Zheng wrote in the “Shangbao” publication that there had been no news of Wang Qiang or Xu Deqing falling from grace. However, considering the CCP’s secretive handling of senior officials in recent years, absence from important occasions often implies that the absentees have run into trouble.
Statistics show that since the 20th National Congress, a total of 44 senior military officers at various levels have fallen from grace. Currently, the number of members in the Central Military Commission has decreased from 7 to 4.
The power struggles within the military seem confusing. Is Xi Jinping purging forces against him and disloyal subordinates? Or is it the anti-Xi forces purging Xi’s loyalists? There are various speculations among the public.
Since the Third Plenum of the CCP Central Committee in July last year, there have been continuous rumors that Xi Jinping has been stripped of his highest power by a coalition of old-guard officials led by Zhang Youxia. Up to now, Xi Jinping’s close allies in the Central Military Commission, Miao Hua and He Waidong, have also fallen from grace, seemingly confirming these rumors.
Before the September 3 parade, many unusual signs appeared in the political scene of the CCP. Some sources have disclosed that the old-guard officials of the CCP have reached an agreement with Xi Jinping; after presiding over this parade, Xi Jinping will gradually hand over the highest power to Wang Yang and Hu Chunhua.
From Xi Jinping’s performance in the September 3 parade, he indeed appeared like a puppet who had lost his highest power, forced to put on a show of internal misery to maintain surface stability.
During this parade, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin were present on either side of Xi Jinping, forming a rare spectacle of the three most notorious dictators with nuclear weapons standing together. This has deepened the impression among Western countries of a “Axis of Evil” formed by China, Russia, and North Korea.
When these dictators gather, what topics might they be discussing? Generally, economic and military cooperation are indispensable, and strengthening mutual support politically is also a diplomatic norm. However, during this parade, there were unusual topics captured by journalists’ cameras and microphones.
The live footage showed Xi Jinping and Putin engaging in a translated exchange on their way to Tiananmen Gate, during which they discussed, “With the development of biotechnology, human organs will continue to be transplanted, people will get younger and live longer, possibly even immortality.” This was the translation conveying Putin’s words, to which Xi Jinping responded, “Predicting, in this century, it is possible that humans will live up to 150 years.”
After this dialogue was revealed, related video segments were deleted by the Chinese authorities, but in the full video released by the BBC, this dialogue can be seen at around 3 minutes and 40 seconds.
Once the content of the dialogue between Xi and Putin surfaced on overseas social media, it sparked discussions.
Feng Chongyi, associate professor at Sydney University of Technology, posted on X platform, stating that the dream of dictators for “immortality” has a long history, and the evil practice of live organ harvesting by the Xi regime will see divine retribution and inevitable downfall.
Netizens also debated that the CCP is openly publicizing the atrocities of live organ harvesting, with some comparing it to the monsters in “Journey to the West” discussing the efficacy of Tang Monk’s flesh.
Some remarked, “It seems that in addition to exporting poverty, hunger, and communism to the world, the CCP also wants to export live organs of Chinese youth to foreign dignitaries!”
In recent years, behind the CCP’s global promotion of the “Health Silk Road” and “Community of Shared Future for Mankind” diplomatic policies, lies a sinister “organ diplomacy” route. Several cases involving foreign dignitaries traveling to China for organ transplants show that the CCP is using people’s lives as bargaining chips and conducting “diplomatic gestures” through organ transplants.
On September 20, 2024, Sultan Ibrahim, the 17th Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia, visited China to meet Xi Jinping. What was originally a state event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia took a controversial turn due to private conversations. Sultan Ibrahim personally thanked the CCP for the “special arrangement” that allowed his son to successfully undergo a liver transplant surgery in China.
The Malaysian newspaper “Daily Express” had already exposed in 2016 that Malaysian Member of Parliament Datuk Bung Moktar Radin had traveled to China for medical treatment multiple times and eventually completed a kidney transplant surgery.
According to Radio Free Asia, a senior official from Kazakhstan had undergone a kidney transplant surgery at the General Hospital of the Chinese PLA (301 Hospital). The whistleblower claimed, “From application to successful transplant, it took less than a month to complete,” a process that would take many years in Western countries.
In 2019, an exclusive longevity program for senior members of the CCP was exposed online. At the time, a rumor about the “981 Leader Health Project” spread like wildfire on the mainland’s WeChat circle, introducing a medical service established exclusively for the top leadership of the CCP in the past 60 years, claiming “significant results.” The program’s goal was to extend life expectancy to 150 years. Baidu had previously publicly introduced the “981 Health Project,” launched in 2005.
However, with online speculation about CCP elites relying on special organ supplies to prolong their lives, the aforementioned advertisement was censored, and Baidu also blocked information about the “981 Health Project.”
These cases indicate that the CCP not only provides rapid organ transplant services to its own elites but also offers organs to foreign dignitaries through a “special medical channel,” effectively turning organ transplants into diplomatic bargaining chips.
On September 3, Putin confirmed during a post-parade press conference that he and Xi Jinping did indeed discuss the issue of “extending human life” on their way to the parade.
Currently, China’s economy continues to struggle, with waves of business closures and unemployment surges, exacerbated by the comprehensive implementation of mandatory social security on September 1, resulting in reduced wages for workers and mounting grievances among the people. The September 3 parade alone cost at least 36 billion RMB. Calculated at an annual pension of 30,000 RMB for an ordinary worker, this amount could sustain the livelihood of 1.2 million retirees for a year.
In the lead-up to the September 3 parade, uprisings were frequent across China, with anti-CCP and anti-Xi slogans and propaganda appearing in various places.
On the night of August 29, anti-CCP slogans were projected on the exterior wall of a high-rise building in the Commercial District of Chongqing University City, lasting for 50 minutes, including messages such as “Without the CCP, there will be a new China” and “Down with the despotic CCP.”
On August 30, exiled Shanghai entrepreneur Li Ren revealed on his social media platform that a high-ranking official working in Zhongnanhai, Beijing, told him that around 3 p.m. on August 28, there was a sudden shout of “Xi Jinping step down” inside the State Council’s office in Zhongnanhai, with multiple continuous shouts echoing throughout the building. Subsequently, the official was immediately detained on the spot and taken away.
According to multiple overseas social media platforms, on August 31, a large poster titled “General Secretary Step Down!” suddenly appeared on a notice board in Beijing. The poster was signed “Old Worker” and dated August 13, 2025. However, it is currently unclear where this poster was specifically displayed or whether “Old Worker” is an individual or a group.
Following the September 3 parade, there will be the second “blood moon” of this year on September 8. When a total lunar eclipse occurs, the moon is obscured by the Earth’s shadow and due to atmospheric refraction, the moon takes on an orange-red, bronze, or dark red hue, creating a mysterious and spectacular “blood moon” phenomenon.
In traditional Chinese culture, the moon symbolizes femininity, harmony, and reunification, and a “blood moon,” due to its unusual red appearance, is interpreted as a celestial warning sign, foretelling possible disasters, wars, diseases, or social unrest.
Throughout Chinese history, many recorded events of “blood moons” correspond to social unrest and dynastic changes. Post the September 3 parade, where will the intense power struggles within the Party lead? How will the eruption of anti-CCP volcanoes among the populace drive social change in China? The warning of the “blood moon” will correspond to what kind of future, something that merits our continuous attention.
