My introduction
Having lived in China for now seventeen years, 1990 to 1997 and 2010 to 2019 on the Mainland and now one year in Taiwan province, it’s not just New Year’s greetings that are emblematic of how the Chinese leadership – whom I call Baba Beijing – interacts with their citizens. It’s all year round. In newspapers, TV, social media, how fully involved the citizens are in legislation, as it gets passed, etcetera. Baba Beijing treats their citizens like adults, with respect and dignity, while trusting them to do the right thing, 24/7/365.
At the same time, Chinese citizens respect their leaders, treat them in a dignified fashion and have full Confucist-Daoist-Buddhist-Communist-Socialist trust in Baba Beijing to also do the right thing, 24/7/365.
Taken together, Chinese governance is a harmonious circle of virtue. Virtue means to Do the Right Thing, using ethics (the Golden Rule) versus competing religious morals. Politics are not personal, they are public, national and local for the betterment and prosperity of the people.
This is 180 degrees different than in the West, where dictators insult and berate their citizens like stupid little kids. These priors are incredibly Satanic, as we can see now with what’s coming out in the Epstein Jewish files: Devil worship, sacrificing children, raping children, drinking their blood, eating their flesh, breeding babies to use as sacrifices, etcetera. This is not new. Epstein is still alive in Tel Aviv and is Judaism’s reigning Satan incarnate. That is all. Many tens of thousands of Judeo-Western leaders are doing as bad or worse. It has been going on behind closed doors and underground torture prisons for 3,000 years.
What is so pathetic and dispiriting is that nothing will change. It has been going on for millennia and will continue for millennia more. It’s what the Talmud-Tanakh West does.
On top of all this Judeo-Luciferian psychopathy, these grotesque kakocrats are greedy, power-seeking plutocrats. In Talmud-Tanakh politics, everything is personal and self-centered: personal gain, personal revenge, personal vindication, personal aggrandizement.

Comments by China Writer Wei Ling Chua
Xi is the only world leader able to confidently and objectively:
1) offers such a long list of the country achievements in many aspects both domestically and internationally in the past years
2) with good sense of the country directions
3) no blaming and negative wording against any obstacles against china peaceful development
4) People needs just to compare the content of Xi new year message to the rest of the world political leaders’ new year messages to understand why their own country and other countries are not doing as well as China‼️
5) the ability of a political system to continually ensure only quality people in the position of power is still a luxury for the rest of the world ‼️
6) china is lucky to culturally having an ancient traditions to only allow quality people in the position of power, and Mao has successfully created a series of theories and political frame work to cultivate people oriented political leaderships
Below is part of the Google translate on an ancient Chinese teaching about consequences of low quality leadership towards themselves and others (https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%BE%B7%E4%B8%8D%E9%85%8D%E4%BD%8D%EF%BC%8C%E5%BF%85%E6%9C%89%E7%81%BE%E6%AE%83/50549458 )
“If one’s virtue is not commensurate with one’s position, disaster will surely follow” is an ancient Chinese proverb originating from the “Appended Remarks” of the Book of Changes. It means that if a person’s virtue is not commensurate with his or her position or responsibilities, he will suffer misfortune. This expression was extracted by modern people based on the relevant discussions in the “Ten Wings” of Confucius’s commentary on the Book of Changes.
Its connotation includes three levels: First, “low moral character but high position” means that a person with low moral character but in a high position is prone to bad consequences due to misconduct; second, “small wisdom but big plans” means that a person with insufficient wisdom plans big things, which is prone to failure due to exceeding their ability; third, “small strength but heavy responsibility” means that a person with weak strength bears a heavy burden, which may cause physical and mental damage. Together, these three principles reveal the principle that virtue, wisdom, and ability must be balanced with one’s position in life.
The proverb originated from Confucius’s saying, “Those with little virtue but high position, little wisdom but great ambition, little strength but heavy responsibility, will fail,” which is recorded in the “Appended Remarks, Part II” of the Book of Changes. Later generations condensed these three meanings into the popular expression “If one’s virtue is not commensurate with one’s position, disaster will surely follow,” extending it from the realm of classical philosophy to the realm of real-world warnings.
Ironically, Trump and his team happened to meet all the above 3 shortcomings described by Confucius (over 2500 years ago)‼️how could one believe that he is capable of MAGA (Making America Great Again )‼️
Full text: Chinese President Xi Jinping’s 2026 New Year Message
BEIJING, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) — On New Year’s Eve, Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered his 2026 New Year message through China Media Group and the internet. The following is the full text of the message:
Greetings to all! Year after year, life opens a fresh chapter. As the new year begins, I extend my best wishes to you from Beijing!
The year 2025 marks the completion of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan for economic and social development. Over the past five years, we have pressed ahead with enterprise and fortitude, and overcome many difficulties and challenges. We met the targets in the Plan and made solid advances on the new journey of Chinese modernization. Our economic output has crossed thresholds one after another, and it is expected to reach RMB 140 trillion yuan this year. Our economic strength, scientific and technological abilities, defense capabilities, and composite national strength all reached new heights. Clear waters and lush mountains have become a salient feature of our landscape. Our people enjoy a growing sense of gain, happiness and security. The past five years have been a truly remarkable journey, and our accomplishments have not come easily. Your unwavering hard work has made our nation thrive and prosper. I salute you all for your exceptional diligence and invaluable contributions.
This year is full of indelible memories. We solemnly commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and established the Taiwan Recovery Day. These grand national events were majestic and powerful, and the glory of victory will shine through the pages of history. They are inspiring all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation to remember history, honor fallen heroes, cherish peace, and create a better future. They are rallying a mighty force for the great rejuvenation of our nation.
We sought to energize high-quality development through innovation. We integrated science and technology deeply with industries, and made a stream of new innovations. Many large AI models have been competing in a race to the top, and breakthroughs have been achieved in the research and development of our own chips. All this has turned China into one of the economies with the fastest growing innovation capabilities. The Tianwen-2 probe began its star-chasing journey to explore asteroids and comets. Construction of the hydropower project at the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River started. China’s first aircraft carrier equipped with an electromagnetic catapult system was officially commissioned. Humanoid robots did kung fu kicks, and drones performed spectacular light shows. Inventions and innovations have boosted new quality productive forces and added colorful dimensions to our lives.
We endeavored to nurture our spiritual home with cultural development. There was a surging public interest in cultural relics, museums, and intangible cultural heritage. A new Chinese cultural site was added to the World Heritage List. Cultural IPs such as Wukong and Nezha became global hits. The younger generation came to deem classic Chinese culture as the finest form of aesthetic expression. The cultural and tourism sectors thrived. The “super league” football games in our cities and villages attracted numerous fans. Ice and snow sports ignited people’s passion for the winter season. Tradition is now embracing modernity, and the Chinese culture is shining in even greater splendor.
We joined hands to build a better life and enjoyed it together. I attended celebrations in Xizang and Xinjiang. From the snow-covered plateau to both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, people of various ethnic groups are united as one, like seeds of a pomegranate sticking together. With white khatas and passionate singing and dancing, they expressed their love of the motherland and the happiness they enjoy. No issue of the people is too small; we care for every leaf and tend every branch in the garden of people’s well-being. Over the past year, the rights and interests of the workforce in new forms of employment have been better protected, facilities have been upgraded to bring more convenience to the elderly, and each family with childcare needs has received a subsidy of RMB 300 yuan per month. When the happy hum of daily life fills every home, the big family of our nation will go from strength to strength.
We continued to embrace the world with open arms. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Tianjin and the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women were very successful; and island-wide special customs operations were launched in the Hainan Free Trade Port. To better address climate change, China announced new Nationally Determined Contributions. After announcing the three global initiatives on development, security, and civilization, I put forward the Global Governance Initiative to promote a more just and equitable global governance system. The world today is undergoing both changes and turbulence, and some regions are still engulfed in war. China always stands on the right side of history, and is ready to work with all countries to advance world peace and development and build a community with a shared future for humanity.
Not long ago, I attended the opening ceremony of the National Games, and I was glad to see Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao coming together in unity and acting in unison. We should unswervingly implement the policy of One Country, Two Systems, and support Hong Kong and Macao in better integrating into the overall development of our country and maintaining long-term prosperity and stability. We Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share a bond of blood and kinship. The reunification of our motherland, a trend of the times, is unstoppable!
Only a strong Communist Party of China can make our country strong. We launched the study and education program on fully implementing the central Party leadership’s eight-point decision on improving Party and government conduct. We exercised strict governance of the Party through credible measures, and promoted the Party’s self-revolution to fight corruption and advance healthy governance. As a result, the conduct of our Party and government steadily improved. We must stay true to our original aspiration and founding mission, and pursue our goal with perseverance and dedication. We should continue to give a good answer to the question on how to maintain long-term governance put forth in a cave dwelling in Yan’an and prove ourselves worthy of the people’s expectation in the new era.
The year 2026 marks the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan. A successful venture should start with a good plan and with clear goals set. We should focus on our goals and tasks, boost confidence, and build momentum to press ahead. We should take solid steps to promote high-quality development, further deepen reform and opening up across the board, deliver prosperity for all, and write a new chapter in the story of China’s miracle.
The dream lofty, the journey long—bold strides will get us there. Let us charge ahead like horses with courage, vitality, and energy, fight for our dreams and our happiness, and turn our great vision into beautiful realities.
The sun of the new year will soon rise. May our great motherland stand in magnificence! May the fields across the country deliver good harvest! May our nation bathe in the glory of the morning! May you all enjoy life to the fullest, and achieve every success! May all your dreams come true!
