The death of Yu Menglong: The political scandal shaking China

All right. Hi everyone. Okay. It's been a while since I did a a program on Sunday. So, well, happy Sunday. Um, I was preparing to talk to you about Trump and Xiinping's phone call on Friday and then the Shangshan security forum in Beijing and other topics. But I changed my mind last minute. I want to tell you about the biggest scandal rocking China right now. I worked until 1:00 this morning and got up at 6, so I hope it's worth your wait. Um, last Saturday I said the death of two young men changed the course of the world's two biggest rivals, American conservative leader Charlie Kirk and then the Chinese actor Yumol. Um, pictures, pictures. Okay. So now since youth's death, the authorities rushed to censor it. Within just three days, millions of posts were deleted, hundreds of accounts were banned and some key suspects online profile and traces were wiped out. Despite the censorship, youth's death has garnered 80 billion views in China as of Friday. It could have reached 100 billion now, making it possibly the second most readabout event on Chinese internet um after the 2022 chained mother of eight expose. The actor died on September 11th and his death has created what I call China's own 911 moment. The Chinese public finally are awakening to the truth that their government is nothing less than an a terrorist organization. This case is so dark that it reads worse than a mafia movie. Sex, violence, money laundering, murder, corruption, and abuse of power. Mark my words, unlike the other cases of social injustice that we've seen, this one will change history. It may not be the single event that topples the CCP, but it will be the one that wakes the Chinese people, and there will be no turning back. At a political level, um, actor's death won't just widen the bitter rift between ordinary citizens and privileged CCP elites. Um, it will also become a weapon for anti-shi forces to take down Xiinping and his followers. And that's why this moment matters. Okay, so let's let me first talk about who this man is. Well, Yumong grew up in an ordinary family in Shinjang and is a weager descent. I believe that explains his western looking features. He is said to be raised by his single mother and is the only child. He became widely known for his role in two TV series and he's said to be a good person who um who people say that he has uh he has offered help to um a lady at airport fixing the wheels of his of her um sorry suitcase. Um I mean just people recognized him and he also helped a friend twice uh give up suicidal thoughts. However, his good luck got him into troubles. First a wealthy woman woman investor was interested in him but he refused. He was thus sidelined from the industry for three years. And he in during that time he went to I think the uh the countryside or remote China to teach kids. And then from the very beginning of his career he was harassed by influential men um sexually and he was defiant and tried to fight back and this eventually led to his death. And the people who caused his demise are the very people he trusted including his agent and friends. So let me give you the details. Okay. So September 11th, Beijing, Chawyang district in an upscale residential compound. Yumolo was at a party with over a dozen people. He knew to be exact 17 17 people including himself. By around 6:00 a.m. the party was over and his body was discovered downstairs. Police rushed to declare drunken accident, no criminal suspicion, but netizens cried foul. He um because they said that this actor was disciplined, fit, a man with strong tolerance for alcohol, hardly someone to fall drunk from a window. And that window uh barely it's about a meter tall, right? So it's a waist level and and there's more. The window had a a metal screen, harder to get through. And from the picture of the window that people took from outside, they saw um carved scratch marks on the screens uh which are signs of a struggle. So why would Yu claw at the window unless he was fighting for his life? And yet none of the party guests have spoken up. Not one. Um and the police instead rushed the case to closure. Um every leaked post and photos and videos were deleted or was deleted. And then came the bomb bombshell. A man calling himself Shaoli um who was a temporary waiter working that night told what he saw. He said he served drinks at the party. He he said uh the actor wasn't drinking much at first, but his agent pressured him again and again. At one point, um, the agent slipped a white powder from his pocket into glass, um, and he clinkedked glasses with him, forcing you to drink. The server, Shiaoli, tried to warn the actor, but he was dragged into the kitchen by a man in black, and the warning was chilling. Stay out of this if you don't want to die. Terrified, the server left his job early. He hid at a friend's house to avoid being followed. Um, his video of course was later deleted and removed. Um, then another long post appeared describing the party in detail. It said that gathering took place in the penthouse of you's longtime friend, a screenwriter. His name is Jao. Um, the property's surveillance camera showed that the party lasted from 8:15 to 2:40 a.m. over 6 hours. Um, but at 1:15 a.m. Use agent received a mysterious phone call. He looked nervous, then started forcing drinks on the actor. At 1:45, 30 minutes later, he got a second call and he sat out. Almost done. Just a little longer. Five minutes later at 1:50 um the surveillance cameras caught you being dragged into the elevator by two men. He looked drunk. He his fails his I'm sorry his face was pale, his body weak. Um he was barely able to speak. Um so this is when use handlers moved him from the penthouse to another unit on the fifth floor. uh a rental unit. At 2 am, his a his agent got a third call and when it ended, he told everyone to leave. Strangely, all three calls came from the same virtual number. That number has since been deactivated. As far as who it belonged to, no one knows. And the screenwriter owner of the penthouse apartment rushed to move out after people left. his neighbor recalled um at 400 am he said, "I woke up to the sound of things being moved. I saw four men in black carrying cardboard boxes out of Jiao's apartment. Not furniture, just boxes." And Jao looked frantic, you know, staring at his phone. Then he left in a black SUV with no license plates. Police later confirmed that this jou um the host of the party is now missing. His phone has gone dark. Um so it was said uh according to various internet posts it was said that the actor was tortured and g raped in the unit on the fifth floor and he fell from the window and died. So this points to the man who called his agent three times. Who is he? It seems that he's the one who caused Mr. U's death. Um but he was but he was he didn't act alone. He he had he help he had his helpers at the party. Um now in any other country the people at the party would be the first to face police questioning. But in China every single guest has vanished. Not a word. No names disclosed. No investigations announced the official cause of death, accidental falling from drunkenness, but nobody in China believes that. I would I should say most people do not believe that. So people quickly dug into the background of those at the party. Um they've figured out who they are. So um so here here are some of the names I I found on the internet. Now, as far as the big shot who called um but they didn't know but one man but in the beginning they didn't know who that was exactly but all sources point to one possibility that is it is uh the the illegit I can't say the word the illegit illegitimate son of a top CCP leader. Um, one insider put it bluntly. The killer who caused Yumolone's death has deep political backing. After the incident, powerful people gave direct orders, bury the case, make it disappear. Um, so and and the the the the source was clear that the man behind it behind this behind it all is at least vice state level or higher. Xiinping and his seven poly bureau standing committee members are at state level. Right? That's the highest level. So the name most whispered came out. Where is he? um po currently poly bureau standing committee member and Xiinping's number two guy in party affairs and the man at the center of the case was allegedly the 33-year-old um secret son of Tai and he is apparently Tai's love child uh and raised by one of his loyalists you know in China when these big shots have um secret children um they uh have their loyal lieutenants adopt them and raise them as their own. So that's how you know Mao did that. They all they all do that. So and this 33 year old man is his name is Shini. That's that's um his pen name. It's not his real name. And so here's the uh by do page of this man. Um you would think that this man is harmless. I think this picture probably was taken from he was in his 20s but you know t talking about all the crimes associated with this guy. You will be surprised. So, um he here's a picture the the the photo on the right was actually taken on the day of uh death. So, this Shinshi guy um was made the owner of an energy company at age 22 and rose quickly to be an award-winning producer and movie critic. Now in China, you if you don't have political backing, that kind of career track is impossible. Um, and he's reportly either homosexual or bisexual. So why did he want to kill the actor? Whistleblowers say, uh, Yumolong had been targeted by the producer from the very start of his career. At first, Shinshi, the producer, simply wanted to force Yu into a relationship, but the actor was reluctant. Um, but Shing harassed him and positioned himself as Yu's biggest fan and benefactor. In fact, Yu's very first fan club was controlled by by the producer. So, for years, the actor lived under Shini's harassment and control. Later, um, you discovered evidence of Shinchi's money laundering activities and saved it on a USB drive, and Shini eventually found out about it. Maybe the actor hoped to use that USB as leverage to free himself. Instead, it cost his life. That's when the party was set up. It's believed that Shini tried to torture you sexually and violently to force him to reveal where the USB was, but you didn't give in. Um, the torture was captured on videos as they planned to use the compromising footage for blackmail later. Someone, we don't know how, leaked the blurry videos. um you can be seen being beaten and from his screams it's clear that he was tortured with sharp objects and from his broken words we can piece together his despair. He said that that he'd been harassed since the age 25 that he had lost all hope and that the only and that only death could free him from being played to death. Um, in the earliest leaked clips, you still shouted shouted his defiance, swearing that he would never submit. But in later footage, he appeared barely alive, no strength left, no voice, perhaps unconscious or already dead. Um, so the fall may have been nothing more than a staged ending. uh and it was arranged right by the perpetrators making making it look like an accident. And another source provided even more shocking details. It claimed that the actor had been held captive since September 8th or 9th, days before that party at the apartment, and that's when his torture began. His captors demanded him turning the USB drive. The actor refused. He later allegedly swallowed it because it's a a thumb thumbnail drive. It's tiny. Knowing the actor feared height, his captors hung him upside down outside the window and he screamed. Neighbors confirmed they heard the scream screams and they saw shadows in the in the window um figures moving. and you then allegedly fell accidentally and he landed on the grass outside. The attackers took him to a private hospital. They cut him open, retrieved the USB drive from his stomach. After surgery, they brought him back. They dressed him in new clothes um and staged a second fall at the building's entrance. And that's the photo that everyone saw. And sharpeyed netizens noticed something, you know, in in the photo that beneath the the blue shirt that that you wore, a strip of white appeared which looked like bandages. So you might think, how did they dare to carry out such atrocities in in broad daylight? Aren't they afraid that people would find out? Well, there's another conversation that got leaked. It was between two security guards um or at least one security guard talking to a friend. And what they said was that the the the family owns the residential complexes and controls the company providing security to the buildings. And not just this security company, all of them in the area. And that explains why these people are so flagrantly atrocious. The overwhelming flood of rumors, despite differences in detail, all point to the 33-year-old producer Shini, who is said to be the secret son of Taii. Um, now there is another person uh who is from Mr. Taiishin Quinn, who's a US-based political commentator who is um a quite a reliable source and he obtained information from from Beijing suggesting that the producer is actually a relative of Shiinping and his sources told him that only only power from the very top could allow a young man rise to such prominence. in the film industry so quickly at such a young age. Um because he's only 33. This man is only 33, but he's been around in the in the movie industry for like over a decade. And this is not the first man or the first actor, a good-looking, handsome actor who died this way. There has been another case very similar to this nine years ago. And it was said that um in terms of the party attendance, I mean it's very similar. It's also also happened at a party and then the party attendance overlap. So um so that's why the public is is outraged, right? So whether it the p the man here is is tied to or Xiinping, it's um it's problematic for Xiinping. Now as the party's propaganda chief is in a position to bury a story online um and people know that minister level ministerial level officials alone could not cover this up. This you know they they're their power is not their influence is not not enough to cover a case like this. only officials at the very top would have that kind of power and no one would dare commit such brazen crimes without immense political backing. Of course um you know all of the above is based on uh many internet exposees and leaks. So I cannot say if it's true or not. It's because it's impossible to verify. But what is certain is that the case provides fertile ground for anti-shi forces to use against him at the upcoming fourth plan. The timing is particularly bad for Xiinping given his weakening grip on power. And since the case broke, Taii has shown unusual behavior. Um, according to Shinua News, on September 17th, he delivered a speech at a symposium marking the publication of Xiinping's book, one of his books called the governance of China, volume five. Um and then Tai said the most he said the most important task in studying the book is to quote deeply grasp the decisive significance of the two establishes and to resolutely achieve the two safeguards. Now these slogans, the two establishes and two safeguards uh coined under Xiinping are nothing more than political pledges of loyalty to Xiinping himself. Interestingly, they had disappeared from Tai's speeches for a while and now they have just returned. And Tai even went further. He he said we must profoundly understand Xiinping's wise reflections on the grand logic and great trend of human social development. This remarks these remarks sparked uproar online to many people. They were proof that Tai Chi's son is likely guilty of killing the actor because why would he suddenly, you know, turned almost 180 degree to to be, you know, grotescularly uh praising Xiinping, right? He must he must have felt the heat. So Tai is clinging to Shei publicly reaffirming loyalty in the hope that she might protect him or shield him. But here's the question. Can Xiin still protect him? Um this case in my opinion could well become Xiinping's Waterloo especially if anti-shi forces now align with the public and that's threatening because this has not happened yet. So far the anti-shi forces have been acting alone and the public has been acting alone. But if they converge, it could be a force um that topple the regime. So, and right now everything seems to be moving in that direction. Now, let me talk about the impact of this case. It has sent shock waves not only through China but also across Asia especially in Hong Kong and Taiwan or other countries where there's a large Chinese speaking populations like Singapore or uh Malaysia because the entertainment industries are deeply connected um because of the language because they speak Mandarin. Stars and celebrities are shaken. If one of their own can be abused, assaulted, and murdered by the children of the powerful, what safety do they have in CCP China? For ordinary Chinese, the realization is even more devastating. They realize how dark and toxic the entertainment industry is. If a star can be tortured and murdered for pleasure without consequences, then their country is broken and its rulers are criminals. and there's no hope for for them or for their children unless people do something. Now, um now I like I said, you was not the first male actor to die from from this type of um sexual abuse. Others before him um have that has happened to others and there's a commonality. They all came from humble families. Um well, authorities want this case to fade away, but it will not. People risked their lives to speak the truth. One director, his name is Wango Wango, spoke up. He hinted that he had obtained critical information but warned the public if he suddenly disappears, it means something has happened to him. um use mentor a Taiwanese producer by the name of Sunund said that the case has been covered up because someone at the top has intervened. He expressed deep guilt for failing to protect his former student and vowed to um not only give you dignity in death but also to dismantle the toxic rules of the industry. Meanwhile, the authorities unleashed massive censorship on we do which is China's Tik Tok and Red Note um comments demanding justice were deleted by the millions. You know what people do? People Chinese are smart. They flooded government government's official social media accounts to have their voices heard. Um, so like the Beijing's the Beijing Culture and Tourism Bureau's social media account saw 680,000 comments in just a few hours, all demanding justice. The official website of China's court received 230 comments demanding an investigation. All all of them swiftly erased. Um so the authorities then shut down the common section on their official accounts but in the early hours of um September 20th something slipped. The comment section on China's uh national radios China national radio's doing uh account was somehow left open and within hours tens of thousands of people poured in. It was it was in the middle of the night. So by 4:30 a.m. over 4500 comments appeared almost all demanding a criminal investigation into the actor's death. Um protests even have spilled into e-commerce platforms where people post messages uh or hidden messages of courage after making a purchase, right? because you can't really leave comments, you know, if you don't buy. So, people have intentionally keep buying items so they can leave messages. And people say their intention is very clear. They refuse to be silenced. Their goal is to keep talking about it until they see justice. Um and this is also why I changed my mind and switched topics at the last minute. Um sources inside China say that if we keep international attention on this case, the leadership will not be able to withstand the pressure. They're already under tremendous pressure from all sides. So the word that got got leaked out is that keep talking about it especially have foreign press um reporting on this case and so so far the ex uh Elon Musk's ex has become the main platform where updates and leaks about the case um surface. Now his death has awakened China. People now see the truth. The regime that allows its elite to rape, kill, and cover up with impunity is nothing more than a a criminal enterprise. Um, I want to play you a video. Um, it it looks this is the sky of Beijing a few days after the actor died. It looks very very scary, right? the clouds twisted into strange shapes um and it's covered up the sky and many people said it's it was heaven's wrath um it does not look normal and um look look at this it's just crazy and at one point the clouds was was like all eyes I I don't have uh Chris we didn't have this we don't have this clip I saw one picture where all the clouds you you look up into the sky, you see like countless eyes looking down. It's just very very spooky. This man said this this is the sky. This that man said this is the this is the clouds uh over in in Beijing sky. I don't know what it meant. That's what he said. Yeah. So, yeah. At one point the the clouds look like eyes. They're like many many eyes. I don't know if No, this is not one. There's a better picture, but we don't have it here. It It's like It's almost like the their eyes looking down on us. Very very scary. So um and insiders say Yu's family is still drowning in grief, especially his mother. And when she got the call about his about her son's death, this woman who's in her 70s collapsed on the spot. And when she regained consciousness, she broke down completely. Um and her emotions remain unstable to this day. Uh her only child gone without explanation. and and what tortures her most is not just what is not just that he died but what he went through before his death. Um now you understand why I say the parents with beautiful children in China don't feel blessed. I have said that for for a while now you know what I mean. One netizen put it best u he said no beauty or goodness can survive in China they will be crushed and in a system that feeds on goodness it is a system that feeds on goodness and spits out evil and another one said hell lies empty its demons walk among us and in Chinese is um Now, if you really think about it, these criminals are the ones decorated with titles, polished in appearance, educated, and even outwardly successful. Some travel to the west from time to time. Um, and you see them here and may even have interacted with them. Um, they are the privileged Chinese who grew up in CCP's kingdom with a warped mindset. But can you tell you cannot? Now, why do you think I want to show you this picture? Okay, remember this young woman at Oblin College who gave a speech online openly promoting political assassination. Um, I think her last name is Shu. Julia Shu. I mean, she apologized her her school and they made her issue an apology. But if you really think about it, oh, what happened? Oh, where's the picture? Oh, here it is. Here it is. Yeah. Okay. So, um, yeah, you can, if you have not heard about her, you could search her online. I mean, her video was everywhere on on social media. And this woman basically said that at at at um a political at a class in her college, the professor asked the students what they think of Charlie Kirk's assassination, and she said nobody spoke up, but she did. and she advocated uh the return of political assassination by quoting Maong um what Maong said is of is this is like we of course we support freedom of speech but we think those who oppose us oh the fandom the counterrevolutionaries they are not they're not allowed to speak up and this woman believing Mao um and so anyways now if you think about it did she lose her mind? No, I do not think so. I think it's the same CCP mentality behind the murder of actor Yumong. It's the cause is the same because this woman, okay, that's how she was brought up. That's how the Chinese are educated and brought up in China. They think sacrificing their pe other people's well-being or even life to prove their point is justified. Many Chinese have this mentality. I mean just two different degrees including some of my friends. They think it's okay to sacrifice other people uh their their life or well-being um to better themselves is okay. So, China is producing such young people on a massive scale and sending them everywhere. That is what truly worries me. I do not fear the CCP's hardware such as its weapons. I mean, there are second rate or crappy, right? But what I fear is the massive or the mass intoxication of the mind. And the West has allowed the CCP to infiltrate and poison our children in the name of pluralism and that must stop. Trade wars and tariffs are not enough. The world needs a better solution. So what must be done? I thought about this. I was sleepless last night. I went to sleep at 1:00 and really troubled. Um I think the CCP regime must end. Its very existence brings only suffering and misery not just in China but here too. Western governments must abandon the illusion that they can outsmart Beijing. Their greatest weakness the greatest weakness of our government in the west is complacency. Western civilization and democracy or mode of government have dominated the world stage for the past 100 years if not more. But people here have grown too complacent. They look down on the CCP yet hesitate to act. Trump may be leading the way in countering the regime, but even he can do better. My message is clear. You do not have the time or the resources to end to endlessly clean up the CCP's mess everywhere. If you don't act fast, it will bring down the world. Right? So people, our governments should focus on the source of the problem, not just the aftermath. But so far, everything they've done is to clean up the aftermath. But that's that will exhaust ourselves. And and I think the second solution is the Chinese people must undergo a period of reflection. They need to reflect amongst themselves to think what has gone wrong. some of the most outspoken Chinese dissident or some of the best mind uh in the dissident communities outside China uh said that the Chinese are worthy of this misery because they do not reflect they they suffer they paid a price they paid a dear price but they are the ones the Chinese people have allowed it to happen to them. Um, I try not to blame the Chinese people. Um, I think when you don't know what you don't know, then it's very difficult for you to to tell what has really gone wrong. But I think that the the the country or people or particularly the the the ones who, you know, who have access to outside information, they must undergo a period of reflection. They need to ask themselves what has gone wrong and they need to rediscover Confucious La uh and and faith. They need to relearn how to be a Chinese again. And this is an arduous effort. Um every Chinese needs to reflect on who they want to be. They need to choose for themselves. And I think the same lesson applies to the west um or in America. Each one of us must ask the same question. How do we allow the world to become what it is today? Is there anything we did wrong collectively? Have I unwillingly accepted brainwashing forced upon me? I mean more or less we've all accepted the these these uh communist ideology. But but we we and we need to ask ourselves how do we allow that to happen and and we should not waste energy blaming others or condem condemning those with different political views. Um I believe changes begin with ourselves. Um so because if if without that and if we keep just blaming those with different ideas it it's not going to bring peace. Right. The sc the strongest human beings are those who can self-reflect and correct their course. Um self-reflection is the true wisdom of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization and is the secret to longevity. If if you think about it, whether it's for individual individuals or political systems, the ability to self-correct ensures survival and longevity both physically and mentally. So there's so many people pursuing longevity, you know, uh whether it's physical health or political longevity, there's only one secret. Correct yourself. Selfcorrect. self-reflection and then selfcorrection. If anyone possessed that ability, then they're invincible. So that's what I changed my program last minute last night. I think it's worth it. Um I can always talk to you about the traumiing phone call. Um, but I think um, at this point I don't care if views are high or low or how many people will watch it. I need to say this because it's my responsibility and there aren't that many people who say it. Um, I should tell you that one year ago, I may not have the courage to say it out aloud, but after seeing enough miseries, I can no longer treat it just as a subject of my study and and a topic anymore. All right, so that's what I have for you. Um, okay, let's see what people say. Silence. Silence on the ground. Well, it's good to do our programs in the morning during the day. Uh I feel more energetic. Maybe we should do more Sunday sessions. What do you think? Well, this allows people in Europe to be able to join us. All right. Uh Juno Garn Garnett. Well, thank you, Juno. Juno, is that French? All right. Thank you. Thank you so much. All right. Um, Paul Keenan, hi Lelay, finally caught you live. Love your videos. You are amazing work. Oh, you're so very beautiful. Okay, thank you so much. Although I don't feel that way because uh the past 20 actually you know this program took me almost a week to to make because I have been watching so many videos about this actor's death like day and night you know I resisted making it because it's so grotesque and it's so mentally disturbing to talk about it. Um, I know I've been avoiding it, but I spent so much time gathering information and and yesterday's I think it was actually a few hours before the live stream, I said, I need to do this. There's no way that you can walk away from this responsibility and pretend this didn't happen and just talk about Xiinping Trump's phone call, although I could talk about it. Um, so, um, well, thank you very much. Thank you. All right, here's a question. Question for Le from Robbie. Do you believe the CCP will collapse once is removed from power? I believe it will. Um, it may not happen overnight. It may take it may happen. Um I think the CCP will collapse and then they it may there will be a transition period for China to come together as a nation um to transition into the next stage. There will be tremendous changes uh socially and politically. Um I think it may take some time. It could be as long as long as months if not years. Uh I think no more than two years. Um, but it's good. It's a good process because it's a it's ultimately it's going to be a decision made by the Chinese elites, those who have the power and then the influence and also the average citizen what kind of China they want, right? So they they will have to come together to chart their path forward. It it will be their chance. I mean how many people are given the chance in their lifetime to decide the future of your country? I mean we are all given that opportunity now whether in China or in the west right. So it's I think it's um it's a tremendous opportunity or responsibility given to us and we should take that we should take that responsibility well and and this is happening this is unprecedented because it's happening on a global level in the past it's only regional right China went through a dynastic change and then you see that happening in Europe or some parts of the world but never four has the entire world going through some transformation at the same time and they're all interconnected. That's why it's unprecedented. I think everyone has to make a a decision for themselves what kind of future they want for themselves and for their children and for their country. So we all have a responsibility. But I I believe the best way to bring out a positive change, a benign change is to start the change from ourselves. Do self-reflection. Um and we cannot always blame on others. We could notice the problems exist outside of ourselves. I think the most powerful transformation starts with ourselves. That's what I firmly believe in. And it's if people can truly practice that, they'll discover longevity and good health. So that that's that's the best kept secret of Chinese of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. The question is how do you practice it? All right. All right. That's maybe we can make a program about that. That just gives gave me an idea of a program for lace looking glass. How to achieve longevity. All right. Elaine Lond, thank you for your cou courageous informative reporting. Well, thank you MLB. Thank you M LB. Uh okay. Uh let's see. All right. Well, yeah. Somebody said it's very poetic, but in ch English, it means the hell the hell lies empty as its demons are all among us are walking the earth. It's a scary thought. Um, okay. Well, thank you very much. I want Let me see. Uh, I want to acknowledge all the super Oh, here's Ya. How freedom is a flower and the true should be its gardener. Well said. Well, thank you. Thank you for the words of wisdom. Uh, Lei, talk about Tik Tok next week. I did that last week. I do not believe this deal, the Tik Tok deal will come through. Um, if you read Okay, here let me talk about the Xiinping Trump call. If you study the if you study what Trump said and what Xiinping uh what the Shinua said, okay, the Shinua I mean absolutely Xiinping lowered his posture. Um first of all, he didn't Shinua didn't say that this phone call took place at request of the Americans. And secondly, it didn't mention Taiwan at all. And thirdly, it said it addressed Trump's um criticism about the Chinese not acknowledging uh the role Americans played during during World War II. So the Chinese address that. But if you read Shinua's statement, it says that uh the Chinese government does not or or the Chinese government supports private businesses transaction with Americans as long as they're compliant with Chinese laws. Now, that phrase worries me. you know, anything that's in compliance with the Chinese law carries an an security risk for the Americans. So, to me, there's still a lot of details to be ironed out.
