China's Shadow Government -
The Wicked Faction Headed
by Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong
November 21, 2021
In the last 20 years, a group of super-wealthy families have emerged in mainland China as a result of the fact that Western investors/businessmen, lured by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) headed by Jiang Zemin, had dumped enormous amounts of wealth into the communist China. Xi Jinping might appear to hold power on the surface, but indeed, Xi has always been deeply absorbed in a life-or-death power struggle against his predecessor - the former CCP head Jiang Zemin and his long-term strategist Zeng Qinghong.
Based in Shanghai — the economic center of China, China's shadow government is headed by Jiang and Zeng. Today, the faction of Jiang and Zeng hold firm grips on CCP’s military, intelligence, propaganda, diplomacy, telecommunication, finance, stock market, real estate, bio-weapon, biotech, pharmaceutical and many other fields. No matter how many Chinese families appear to be in control of the financial power in the shadow government, they are all under the wicked faction headed by Jiang and Zeng.
The Real Jiang Zemin
Under Jiang and Zeng, the CCP built one of the most evil and powerful communist regime on earth. For more details on account of the Jiang and Zeng's anti-humanity crimes, please read the book published by the Epoch Times, "Unbridled Evil: The Corrupt Reign of Jiang Zemin in China." https://www.theepochtimes.com/c-jiang-zemin-story
The Introduction of the book is a must-read for people who wish to gain a true understanding of today's China :
"The Chinese nation is special. China was once called The Land of the Divine. The ancient dynasties were once called The Heavenly Dynasties. It is the only civilization in the world that has survived for 5,000 years, and the only history of a people that has been uninterrupted for that long. What is crucial for the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization is the continuity factor—a thread that runs through all the dynasties. Foreign powers may interfere or even take over, but the new rulers are eventually Sinicized, and the social and moral order lives on. This fact explains why the nation of “Oneness of Heaven and Man” has been highly fertile ground for producing people of great enlightenment, legends of heroic epics, and an abundance of classic literature.
For millennia, the gods have watched over and protected the Chinese nation. However, after the Communists took power, the country and the people suffered catastrophe and devastation. Religious institutions and traditional arts were the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) target. Monks were slaughtered, temples dismantled, historic relics destroyed, and classics burned. Little remains intact of the 5,000 years of civilization. Society was filled with the class struggle, state control of media, violent deaths, famines, and fanaticism for “destruction of the old world.” Under the CCP’s rule, the nation’s faith, morality, and civilization have degenerated and become disconnected from their original state.
The gods, however, will not allow this nation to be annihilated.
In 1992, Master Li Hongzhi made public the ancient teaching of Falun Dafa (aka Falun Gong). Chinese tradition embodies Taoist teachings for guiding individual cultivation, Confucianism for maintaining social structure, and Buddhist concepts for offering salvation to sentient beings. With the widespread growth of Falun Dafa, which is based on traditional values, Chinese people are regaining their faith in the divine, recovering their moral conscience, and renewing traditional Chinese culture.
Falun Dafa’s principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance, and the growth of the population of practitioners, have had tangible effects in this world as well as in worlds unseen to the naked eye. Behind it all is the Good naturally taking a stand against the Evil. The battle between Good and Evil, as manifest in the human world, takes the form of the CCP’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong, and the latter’s peaceful and rational efforts to end the persecution.
The evil side needed to choose someone in the human world to start this suppression; that choice was Jiang Zemin.
The evil must give Jiang Zemin—a clown of history—a disgraceful family history and morally degenerate personality characterized by greed, stupidity, deceitfulness, treachery, promiscuity, jealousy, and a strong desire to show off.
The history of Jiang’s rise is also a history how his character was shaped. As he grasped everything by his jealous and thieving nature, Jiang developed a high degree of insecurity. The power of dictatorship and the evil specter behind the CCP propelled him to launch the persecution of Falun Gong. So the persecution took place, despite initial opposition from most of those in power.
In order to carry out the persecution, Jiang completely reversed the standard of right and wrong that has prevailed in the Chinese nation for five thousand years, established the extra-legal apparatus known as the 6-10 Office, tied the operations of a substantial portion of the Chinese society and resources to the suppression, and bent the CCP’s usual way of exerting societal control. To continue the suppression and cover up the heinous crimes against humanity, Jiang managed to change the power balance in the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party, so that his clique—including Luo Gan and Zhou Yongkang—could defy the next generation of CCP leaders and carry on the Jiang-era policies, and even attempt a coup to overthrow Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping.
In today’s China, many political, economic, ecological, and social problems, as well as the increasing degradation of moral standards and the legal system, are the direct consequence of Jiang Zemin’s policy of suppressing Falun Gong.
In February 2012, Chongqing police chief Wang Lijun fled to the U.S. Consulate to seek asylum. Like the toppling of the first domino, the incident triggered a chain of events that would set off the course of the CCP’s disintegration. As we all know well, righteous faith has never been defeated by evil, while evil will have to face its own destruction because of its persecution of a righteous way. Everyone has to make his or her own judgment and choice in the process. This book offers the reader an opportunity to understand the truth and to make the right choices.
To clearly understand today’s China, one has to see how the Chinese Communist Party operates behind all facets of life and what its true nature is. But to clearly understand the true evil nature of the CCP as it manifests today, one must behold the perpetrator of the persecution of Falun Gong—Jiang Zemin.
This book presents the real Jiang Zemin."
CCP’s Mounting Internal Struggle
Xi's stance on Hong Kong in 2020 attested that he is not another Gorbachev. Instead, Xi seems to be rather determined to bundle himself with the CCP. To anyone who counts on Xi to dissolve the CCP from within, the dream perhaps is shattered. Inside the CCP, the life-or-death power struggle between Xi and Jiang Zemin/Zeng Qinghong continues to escalate.
In the summer of 1989, then Shanghai mayor-Jiang Zemin's firm support of Tiananmen massacre gained him a rocket-style lift to the national head of the CCP. Immediately after, Jiang promoted his long-time strategist Zeng Qinghong to be his aid in the central government. Zeng's dad was the head of Department of Interior - CCP's KGB. Zeng undoubtedly inherited his father's DNA. Since 1989, Zeng has been the primary force behind the CCP's organization and personnel. The two managed to place their "Shanghai clique" to almost every leading central, regional, and military post. Jiang and Zeng, two heads of CCP deep state have firm grips on CCP’s military, intelligence, propaganda, diplomacy, telecommunication, finance, stock market, bio-weapon, biotech, pharmaceutical and many other fields.
Why do Jiang (now 94) and Zeng (now 81) still desperately cling to power? It is because both understand well if they release any of their power that they will be brought to justice. Besides the bloody crimes committed on Tiananmen Square, Jiang and Zeng have directed the most horrifying genocide in human history - the 22-year-long persecution of Falun Gong. Massive organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners is "an evil crime never seen on this planet before". Today, 8 years after Xi took power, the ruthless persecution continues. Xi dissolved CCP’s labor camps in 2013, where the majority of prisoners were innocent Falun Gong practitioners. However, to Jiang and Zeng, ending the persecution of Falun Gong or ending the CCP means ending their lives.
CCP's Deceptive Tactics
To cover up their crimes, Jiang and Zeng have been tightly controlling the CCP's propaganda machine in and out of China. Wang Hu’ning, Xi’s chief propagandist, is an ally of Jiang and Zeng. To deceive people outside of China, Jiang, and Zeng dispatched orders to their agents to bribe overseas media with mass investments and participate in the fake news narratives worldwide. This explains why so many media narratives in the free world today shockingly resemble those of the CCP.
Jiang and Zeng also deceive Xi. Insiders reveal that Xi has been given fake updates and fake news by Jiang and Zeng, and Xi's own order could not be implemented because of Jiang and Zeng’s blockade. In April 2020, Xi finally started investigating Sun Lijun, the CCP Deputy Minister of Public Security. Sun, an ally of Jiang and Zeng, carried out the bloody suppression of Hong Kong protestors last year. Insiders disclose that it took Xi sometime to eventually realize what the truth was in Hong Kong.
Below please find a recent analysis in the Epoch Times about the on-going anti-corruption campaign by Xi, which in fact, is a part of his power struggle against the faction of Jiang and Zeng.
Xi’s Crackdown on China’s Financial Sector Reveals His Political Predicament
Nov.3, 2021 By Justin Zhang, The Epoch Times
Nearly 100 high-level Chinese officials in the financial sector have been investigated since the beginning of this year, ranging from banks, insurance companies, asset management companies, and financial regulatory agencies. The scope is unprecedented as previous disciplinary campaigns in China mostly targeted a small number of officials who were found suspicious.
This aggressive new campaign is an indication that Chinese leader Xi Jinping has had great difficulties controlling the Chinese financial sector ever since taking power in 2012, according to a Chinese financial analyst.
Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong
Mike Sun, a U.S.-based Chinese investment strategist, previously told the Chinese edition of The Epoch Times that China’s financial sector has long been controlled by a political faction opposing Xi—a faction led by former Chinese leaders Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong.
Jiang won Deng Xiaoping’s favor during the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre as he supported Deng’s decision to open fire on the student demonstrators. Soon after the pro-democracy movement was strangled, Deng made Jiang the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and leader of the country.
Zeng, a notable princeling—whose father, Zeng Shan, was a Party elder—has been a staunch supporter and handler of Jiang. Before Jiang became the Party’s top leader, he served as the Party boss in Shanghai and worked closely with Zeng, the then deputy Party boss of Shanghai. As soon as Jiang took office in Beijing, he promoted Zeng and brought him to Beijing as well.
During the more than 10 years of Jiang’s rule, he and Zeng were the most powerful political figures in China, and together they turned the country’s financial sector into their cash cow. This situation did not change after Xi took power in 2012.
Xi’s sweeping anti-corruption campaign over the years has always been a political campaign directed at the Jiang-Zeng faction. Many important members in this political clique were removed from their posts during Xi’s first 5-year term—in the name of fighting corruption. However, as Xi’s second term is about to end next year, he still hasn’t been able to fully control Jiang and Zeng’s cash cow operations.
Xi’s Latest Anti-Corruption Campaign
Presently, Xi is again using his anti-corruption campaign to try to turn things around in the financial sector, and at the same time seeking to remain in office for a third term.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the CCP’s anti-corruption watchdog, said on its website on Sept. 13 that the number of officials in the financial sector who were taken down after Xi began his second term was three times greater than during Xi’s first term. The CCDI warned that the momentum would only get stronger to ensure the safety of the financial industry.
One month later, on Oct. 12, the CCDI sent inspectors to 25 financial institutions, including major state-owned banks, stock exchanges, and investment companies.
Senior officials disciplined during this round of crackdowns include Zhang Qin, president of the Inner Mongolia branch of China Construction Bank; He Xingxiang, vice president of China Development Bank; Cai Esheng, vice chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission; Li Guorong, deputy director of Sichuan Banking and Insurance Regulatory Bureau; and Wang Junxiang, vice president of Jilin Financial Holding Group Corporation.
In Shanghai, China’s financial center and the Jiang-Zeng faction’s political base, nearly 70 high-ranking local officials have been sacked since the beginning of this year. During the October crackdown, at least 10 high-level officials in the industry were investigated, including Xiang Jie, the financial department general manager at Shanghai Pudong Development Bank’s Shenzhen Branch; Jin Rongzhong, branch president of Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank; and Ge Qiwei, project manager of the business department of Shanghai Yangpu Financial Guarantee Co., Ltd., and others.
Avoiding Another Stock Market Crash
During Xi’s first term, China experienced a major stock market crash in June 2015, when a third of the value of A-shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange was lost within one month, wiping out more than $3 trillion in wealth.
A few senior officials were sacked after that financial crisis, including Yao Gang, the vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, but the scope was quite limited compared to this year’s crackdown.
Sun explained that Xi is making big moves in his present anti-corruption campaign, and he obviously hopes to complete the regulation of the financial sector before elections next year. He needs to firmly have the financial power in his own hands to avoid another major stock market crash, as the 2015 market crash directly threatened his rule.
