Chinese President Xi Jinping's idol Mao Zedong had a famous saying: "The world needs to be in great chaos before a great order can be achieved." In March 2023, Xi Jinping told Russian President Vladimir Putin, "Right now, there are changes — the likes of which we haven't seen for 100 years — and let's drive these changes together." If we put these two sentences together, we gain a much better understanding of how China's communist leadership sees the world. As profound changes wrack our global society, how does the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) plan to achieve its ambitions amid chaotic change?
The CCP in Contact with Hamas and Iran
The most astonishing event of recent weeks is the Gaza-based terrorist organization Hamas' sudden attack on Israel and its aftermath. This event is far from over and nobody knows how it will end. However, top-secret information has already come out of China claiming that Xi Jinping's office is in direct contact with both Hamas and the office of Iran's top authority, Ali Khamenei.
The information was revealed by the Chinese-language YouTube channel LUDE Media. The channel is known for its accuracy. For example, LUDE Media exposed the truth about the August 2023 incident involving a Chinese nuclear submarine only 6 hours after the event, more than one month earlier than the Daily Mail and The Times of London.
According to LUDE Media, the CCP's direct contact person in Khamenei's office is the director of the Executive Office of the (Chief) Secretary Office of the Expediency Discernment Council. His name is rendered in Chinese characters as 赛义德.埃赫山.贾瓦赫里. The possible English transliteration could be Seyyed Ehsan Javaheri (or Zawahiri).
The direct contact person for Hamas is referred to as SFRN.
The CCP Trained the Hamas Commander
The mysterious commander of Hamas, Mohammed Deif, was groomed by the CCP. He once studied at the People's Liberation Army's Ordnance Engineering College in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. Deif received CCP scholarships for his terror training.
He is married to a Chinese Muslim wife of Sarta ethnicity (Xiaojing: دْوݣسِيْاݣ, Simplified Chinese: 东乡族) from Gansu Province, China. His China ties go even deeper. Deif's Chinese Muslim wife has maintained a secret, direct line of communication with Xi Jinping's office since 2019.
Another source, former Peking University professor Yuan Hongbing, also revealed that Mohammed Deif is a key figure contacted by the CCP's International Liaison Department.
Deif is not the only recipient of CCP largesse. The CCP has provided Hamas with rocket technology, Huawei communication equipment, and drone remote-control technology. The CCP did this using Iran as a cutout. These key factors help explain Hamas's ability to increase its combat power dramatically in a short period of time.
International Terror Is Basic CCP Policy
Yuan Hongbing also revealed that China's de facto strategic alliance with international terrorism is basic Chinese state policy. According to Yuan, the CCP has been supporting terror for decades.
Former CCP Vice Minister of Public Security Meng Hongwei, during his tenure as director of the CCP's Riot Control Bureau, was tasked with setting up a number of training camps in China's Hexi Corridor and the Helan Mountains in Ningxia. The camps were for training Iraqi terrorist guerrillas who would return to Iraq to fight against the United States military.
The CCP also trained a large number of fighters for the Taliban in Afghanistan at that time. This history of support was one of the reasons why the CCP was able to quickly form a strategic alliance with the Taliban regime in Afghanistan once the Americans left the country.
Public Reports Align with Inside Revelations
Publicly available information and my long-term observations of the CCP align with the above revelations. For example, on June 14, 2023, Xi Jinping met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Beijing.
On the same day, the CCP and the Palestinian Authority issued a joint statement on establishing a strategic partnership. The statement stressed that "China firmly supports the just cause of the Palestinian people in restoring their legitimate national rights and will always stand with the Palestinian people."
According to LUDE Media, the CCP's use of the word "Palestine" is just a ruse. The CCP's real object of support is Hamas. Therefore, the real deal announced in June was between the CCP and Hamas. Xi promised free, unlimited, unrestricted, and full-range support as part of that deal.
Iranian Insiders Meet With Top CCP Officials
On May 8 and 9, 2023, a delegation of the Expediency Discernment Council of Iran visited China. Liu Jianchao, the minister of the CCP's International Liaison Department, and Wang Yi, Director of the CCP's Central Foreign Affairs Office, met with the delegation.
The CCP also arranged for the delegation to visit China's most prestigious university, Peking University. In addition, the CCP facilitated a seminar with Expediency Discernment Council members and more than thirty officials and scholars at China Institute of International Studies. It is China's top and official institute for international relations.
On July 17, 2023, Chinese Ambassador to Iran Chang Hua (常华) met with the Secretary General of the Iranian Expediency Discernment Council Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr.
From these reports, we can see that the CCP attached great importance to the Iranian delegation's visit. The CCP went so far as to arrange a series of public events for the delegation to meet the CCP's top officials, as well as scholars in the international affairs sector.
Two months later, CCP ambassador to Iran Chang Hua was specially sent to further check on the implementation of the agreements and understandings reached between the two sides.
Syria and the CCP's 'Close Relationship'
Another event also took on added significance after Hamas' surprise attack. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his wife reportedly left all three of their children in China when they returned to Syria on September 27, 2023, after attending the Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.
One Chinese language report stated that there were three reasons for this. First, Syria is in the midst of a war, so China is a much safer place for the children. Second, the children are very fond of Chinese culture and want to continue exploring and learning more in China. Third, by leaving all three children in China, the al-Assad couple demonstrates their high level of trust in China.
The article also mentions that the Syrian President and his wife received a warm welcome during their visit to China, with more fans in China than in their own country. This also showcases the close relationship between China and Syria.
As if to demonstrate how close the relationship has become, Xi Jinping sent special civilian planes to fly al-Assad and his wife from and to Syria. In order to avoid the countries that have imposed sanctions on Syria and that could potentially pose a risk to al-Assad's security, the pilot of the special plane thoughtfully chose a unique route. This added over 1,000 kilometers (620 mi) to the journey.
The return journey was a tour via Air China's special plane which flew over 11 countries and was escorted by the air forces of four countries.
Syrian President's Children as China's Hostages?
The significance of all this fanfare grew in complexity after the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas War.
First, we have seen intense activities and coordination between the CCP and the leaders of Iran, Palestine/Hamas, Syria, and, more recently, Russia. Second, the reason why al-Assad chose to leave his children in China after attending the Asian Games could be that he knew very well what would happen next. If the sixth Middle East war was imminent, then leaving his children in China was definitely a wise choice. Third, as portrayed in the recently released Chinese movie Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms, in ancient China, leaving one's child to one's ruler was a way to pledge loyalty and alliance. This kind of child was called zhizi (质子), which means "hostage sons."
When I read the news about al-Assad leaving his children in China, the term "hostage sons" immediately came to my mind.
Who Offered Standardized Weapons to Hamas?
As soon as the Israel-Hamas war erupted, many people immediately asked this question: Hamas is no match for the Israeli army, so why does it dare to attack Israel on such a large scale and in such a manner, given the vast difference in power?
The only explanation is that Hamas must have received strong enough support and promises to make such an attack seem like a viable option.
Yao Cheng, a former lieutenant colonel in the People's Liberation Army Navy, pointed out that almost all of the weapons used by Hamas in their October attack were standard weapons. The 5,000 rockets in the first wave of the attack were fired from multiple launchers, rather than the single ones used in the past. Homemade rockets cannot cover the distance of 40 kilometers (25 mi) from northern Gaza to Tel Aviv.
Long-range rockets and artillery shells are currently only produced by the United States, Russia, and China. However, of these three, only the CCP could possibly support Hamas. The United States is highly unlikely to support Hamas. Russia is embroiled in the Russia-Ukraine war and is lacking ammunition, requiring support from North Korea.
Only the CCP can accomplish such a huge production.
Further, the PLA hasn't fought a war in over 40 years. It has stockpiled large quantities of ammunition, which it spends a great deal of labor and resources to destroy every year. The China North Industries Group Corporation, which specializes in weapons and arms, also sells large quantities cheaply to the Middle East and Africa all year round. Therefore, Yao Cheng believes that the CCP is the most suspicious.
