張又俠若步張國燾後塵，結局會一樣嗎？軍報高喊政治建軍，影射誰？高市早苗大獲全勝，鐵律再驗證 主播：陳若蘭【新聞要點】

Welcome everyone to the News Highlights program I'm Chan Yat-lan Today is Wednesday February 11 Hong Kong time If Zhang Youxia were to follow Zhang Guotao's path Will it ultimately be the same After Xi Jinping had Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli detained military and official media coverage began shifting again Xi Jinping once again takes center stage in media coverage as top CCP officials intensify expressions of loyalty to him while references to the collective leadership of the Party Central Committee have become increasingly rare In this perilous moment Xi Jinping's top priority is securing the loyalty of the military which is why he is reaffirming the principle of political leadership in building the armed forces It's no surprise really—over the past year and a half under Zhang Youxia's leadership the military has placed even greater emphasis on strengthening its own capabilities February 9th Below the CCP military commander's watchtower column an article was published titled Political strength is the most fundamental strength which can be seen as a signal The author comes from the National Defense University's College of Politics — evidently also a opportunist The article begins by stating that a strong military must first be politically strong and that political strength is the most fundamental kind of strength And citing Xi Jinping's own words: "Political nature is the essential attribute of the military " emphasizing that when examining military development one must first look from a political perspective Upholding political principles has always been the top priority the entire article revolves around this point but in reality the logic is rather confused with the author circling around without clear direction What I really want to say is that discussing politics is essentially about political stance —learning to anticipate political risks and firmly upholding and implementing the system of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission being responsible All actions must follow the direction of the Party Central Committee The Central Military Commission operates under President Xi's command Simply put it means loyalty to Xi Jinping is essential This makes clear the current military Many people are not truly loyal to Xi Jinping They have questionable political立场 The article cites Zhang Guotao's case from the past to illustrate whether one's political backbone is solid The party's future and fate the rise and fall of the cause and its success or failure analysts suggest the reference to Zhang Guotao may be a veiled allusion to Zhang Yuxia Following Zhang Youxia's downfall the military newspaper's first editorial article slammed him with a massive accusation It seriously undermined and damaged the system of the CMC chairman's responsibility greatly exacerbated the political and corruption issues affecting the Party's absolute leadership over the military and threatened the foundation of the Party's governance Severely damaging the image and authority of the Central Military Commission leadership gravely undermining the political and ideological foundation of unity and progress among all military personnel and adversely affecting the military's political development political environment and combat effectiveness Causing massive destruction Certain charges Similar to Zhang Guotao Zhang Guotao used as a negative example of betrayal of the CCP Not just once has the CCP cited him as a model The article mentions the sensitive period of the CCP's Beidaihe Conference in August 2021 state media once published Xi Jinping's criticism of Zhang Guotao Xi Jinping pointed to Zhang Guotao And again on May 1 2021 the Communist Party's official publication Qiushi Journal published an article by a Vice Chairperson of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference The full name article by Deputy Secretary Zhang Qingni The title is Safeguarding the Unity and Centralized Unity of the Party Which Concerns the Rise and Fall of the Party The key message conveyed by the article is the paramount importance of upholding Comrade Xi as the core and maintaining high consistency with him Just as in the past when having no ideology served as a guiding principle the underlying implication here is not only that Zhang and Xi lack a firm stance but also reveals that the current Chinese Communist Party leadership is far from united The inner workings behind the emergence of a split are worth noting and one noteworthy aspect of the article is its rare focus on CCP early leaders Zhang Guotao and Wang Ming as figures associated with the division The CCP criticizes the counterexample of those who threatened the central authority by placing individuals above it yet itself characterizes and discredits Zhang Guotao and Wang Ming Does it truly align with history Bring Zhang Tao here to speak According to the CCP's and Zhang Qing's account when the CCP didn't want to retreat in June 1935 The First Red Army's reunion with the Fourth Red Army led to a disagreement between Fourth Army leader Zhang Guotao and the CCP Central Committee over whether to advance southward He arrogantly relied on his military strength used it to threaten the central authority and openly embarked on a path of splitting the Party and the Red Army—but what was the reality When they reunited that year the Fourth Red Army still had its formidable force of fifty thousand elite soldiers while Mao Zedong led the Central Red Army Fewer than 10 000 survivors remained and Zhang Guotao sought to seize control of the Central Red Army based on this And the evidence was that then Chief of Staff of the Fourth Red Army's Left Column Ye Jianying had once seen a secret telegram sent by Zhang Guotao to Chen Changhao which contained the following: The phrase "military resolution" — but the issue is that not only the parties involved Zhang Guotao and Chen Canghao denied the secret telegram but even Zhu De present at the scene did so as well Liu Bocheng together with Xu Xiangqian and those who had handled the telegrams had never seen it either but Mao Zedong believed it to be true and that night brought along his closest aides Leading the First and Third Red Army Corps to flee Mao Zedong abandoned the Fifth and Twelfth Corps as well as the Fourth and Second Front Armies which remained unaware of the plan What was the connection between him and Ye Jianying Zhang Guotao and others the next day discovered that Mao Zedong had vanished and were unable to make contact The high-ranking cadre meeting elected Zhang Guotao Zhu De and others to form a new temporary central leadership marking Zhang Guotao's erroneous establishment of a rival central authority later Under the mediation of the Communist International Mao Zedong made a self- criticism and this temporary central leadership also abandoned the distortion of party history but what was the real purpose behind this As for Zhang Guotao's southern retreat being labeled a split from the Central Committee that was clearly Mao Zedong and the Central leadership imposing blame at the time the Comintern had actually proposed three targets for the retreat One entered the Soviet Union through Xinjiang another went through Inner Mongolia to reach the Soviet Union the third headed south to establish a new base According to Zhang Guotao's memoirs our greatest concern at the time was survival versus death and they were constantly searching for a way to survive Zhang Guotao ultimately headed south but was blocked by Nationalist government forces forcing him to lead the Fourth Army northward and by the end of 1936 he arrived in northern Shaanxi Joining forces with Mao Zedong's troops Some argue that after Mao Zedong assumed command the Central Committee issued telegrams ordering the Fourth Front Army to continue advancing northward according to the original plan The predetermined meeting point once fortified became useless exposing the Red Fourth Army's movements completely and prompting Chiang Kai-shek to dispatch troops for pursuit and encirclement While Mao Zedong quietly slipped away with Zhou Enlai to Yan'an in northern Shaanxi the Red Fourth Army already weakened suffered a severe blow from the Nationalist forces Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai in an attempt to conceal their despicable intentions turned the tables and accused Zhang Guotao of擅自 leading his troops in a retreat and establishing a rival central leadership after the forces reunited Although Mao Zedong appointed Zhang Guotao as Political Commissar of the Red Army he effectively stripped him of military authority and subsequently reorganized the Fourth Red Army Divided into the Eastern Route Army and the Western Route Army the Western Route Army was subsequently dispatched to garrison the Qilian Mountains area where the Diquxi cavalry was stationed resulting in the complete annihilation of the entire force Some claim this was Mao Zedong's deliberate move to eliminate rival forces after the CCP orchestrated Zhang Yang's military rebellion in Xi'an the Red Army was reorganized into the National Revolutionary Army The region was renamed Shining Jinling Border Area at this time Zhang Guotao was merely the chairman of a minor border district government holding no real power But Mao Zedong still didn't let up on him launching both large and small meetings to criticize Zhang Guotao followed by Huang Ming the CCP's representative at the Comintern When passing through Xinjiang from the Soviet Union he ordered the execution of three senior generals under Zhang Guotao's command CCP's various atrocities led Zhang Guotao to In early April 1938 taking advantage of the opportunity to pay homage at the imperial mausoleum he left the CCP and defected to the Kuomintang Shortly afterward he issued his party resignation statement in Wuhan saying this Communist Party no longer matches the ideals I have cherished throughout my life The party that once fought side by side with him in blood and struggle saw him spend his later years in Canada living in harmony with his wife while their three sons settled in the United States and Canada—quite a life to speak of As long as Zhang Guotao remains within the CCP even if he escapes the Yan'an Rectification Movement he cannot escape public scrutiny unlike many early CCP leaders such as Liu Zhidan Xi Zhongxun Liu Shaoqi and others were fortunate if the military newspaper article implies Zhang Youxia is the modern-day Zhang Guotao Compared to Zhang Guotao who clearly saw through and broke away from the CCP Zhang Youxia intent on preserving the party ended up in such a fate It's unavoidable and whether he can die in peace is already beyond his control If Zhang Youxia had before being captured emulated Zhang Guotao Distance yourself from the CCP even abandon it—could the outcome be entirely different Health 520 received a sharing from a long-term user of the Three

highest number of seats ever won by a single party in post-war elections securing a total of 316 seats more than two-thirds of the total Together with the Japan Innovation Party which holds 36 seats as a coalition partner in the ruling alliance Takagi's governing coalitio The election result giving the party over three-quarters of the seats in the House has greatly infuriated the CCP which has long been suppressing it And numerous analyses have pointed out that the Communist Party of China's ongoing suppression of Hong Kong is a key reason for Hong Kong and the Liberal Party achieving such significant results as in a democratic society Any external threat only serves to strengthen national unity among the Japanese people and makes them even more clearly see the true evil nature of the CCP A tough stance toward the CCP and the Liberal Democratic Party's decisive victory also mean that pro-Beijing parties have become the biggest losers The pro-CCP centrist reform alliance lost 118 seats having been formed by the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Civic Party The newly merged party with its two joint party leaders Yasuhiro Noda and Kiyofumi Saito both publicly stated on the 9th their willingness to resign in disgrace And in late April of last year Saito led a Civic Party delegation to China specifically traveling to Beijing to meet with Wang Huning the third- ranking member of the CCP Central Political Bureau Moreover Japan's Communist Party which holds a relatively moderate stance toward the CCP and the new political group Reiwa Shinsengumi both suffered significant setbacks having been weakened prior to the election Each initially held eight seats but in the final election on Sunday they were left with only four and one seat respectively Among the Constitutional Democratic Party members who lost their seats in the House of Representatives is Katsuya Okada who was a member of the House of Representatives The lawmaker who deliberately pushed the mayor to say that "if Taiwan is in trouble Japan is in trouble" is also a well-known Japanese politician Katsuya Okada likely never expected such an outcome according to the data which shows that after graduating from the University of Tokyo Entered politics in 1988 ran in the 39th general election for the House of Representatives in 1990 as a candidate for the Liberal Democratic Party and was successfully elected Several years later he left the Liberal Democratic Party and joined the Democratic Party becoming its leader in 2004 and driving its development later serving as the party's fourth representative Led the Democratic Party to receive more votes than the Liberal Party in that year's Senate election and subsequently held key positions within the party He previously served as Minister for Foreign Affairs and other posts in September 2020 Okada joined the Constitutional Democratic Party in August 2022 he was appointed Secretary-General of the party After stepping down in September 2024 they assumed the role of a senior advisor Katsuya Okada a known China- friendly politician has visited China on multiple occasions most recently from August 27 to 29 2024 As a member of the Japan-China Friendship Parliamentarians' Delegation he visited Beijing as early as August 26 2007 according to China Daily Online's Global Online A feature article about then-Democratic Party leader Yukio Hatoyama's interview In the article Hatoyama stated within the Democratic Party's principles Japan-China relations Placing the bilateral relationship at the highest priority he would make every effort to visit China at least once a year regardless of how tense the pandemic situation became in order to deepen mutual understanding The Democratic Party encourages its younger members of Congress to visit China however Okada Katsuya and other Japanese politicians with similar views have made their greatest mistake by failing to distinguish between the CCP and China Mislabeling pro-China sentiment as support for the CCP or deliberately refusing to distinguish between the two led to the defeat of pro-China candidates in Japan's parliamentary election and a decline in seats held by pro-China political factions Undoubtedly reaffirms the iron law of the past decade that whoever the CCP opposes wins and whoever the CCP supports loses The recurring spectacle of the CCP backing candidates who inevitably fail has become a norm in democratic elections—meaning whoever is pro-China ends up suffering online examples illustrate this pattern four times CCP's support for candidates — the first instance occurred during Taiwan's 2016 presidential election when the CCP's Taiwan Affairs Office harshly criticized Taiwan independence yet the Democratic Progressive Party candidate Tsai Ing-wen still emerged victorious With a commanding 56% vote he won decisively The second case is the 2024 Taiwan presidential election The CCP labeled Lai Qingde a Taiwan independence activist They accompanied this with military drills to intimidate That outcome united the people of Taiwan in solidarity enabling Lai Qingde to be successfully elected The third example is the 2024 U S presidential election where the CCP amplified the destructive impact of Trump's trade war Trump won by a large margin in the end The fourth case is Japan's 2026 general election Besides criticizing the city of Kaohsiung the CCP also imposed economic sanctions issued travel bans As a result the Liberal Democratic Party led by Takashi achieved a decisive victory in the general election The Communist Party of China-backed dictators—such as Saddam in Iraq Gaddafi in Libya and Assad in Syria—were among those defeated Maduro of Venezuela leaders of Hamas and others have long vanished or ended up as prisoners by the same logic Iran and Russia backed by the CCP Could the outcome possibly be the same again Alright That concludes today's entire presentation Thank you all for listening
