** Will Xi Jinping Attack America to Prevent His Political Demise? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

* "Xi is obviously in some sort of trouble. The smoke keeps pouring out." — Charles Burton, Senior Fellow, Prague-based Sinopsis think tank, former Canadian diplomat, to Gatestone Institute, July 2025.
* The world is at great risk... if Xi is now engaged in no-holds-barred fighting for his political life. In this case — the most probable in my view — he might feel he has every reason to stop at nothing to save himself.
* It is apparent that Chinese agents are now in place in America. Toward the end of the Biden administration, U.S. Border Patrol officers noticed packs of military-aged Chinese males coming from Mexico, all outfitted in identical kit. Border Patrol apparently knew that some pack members had links to the Chinese military. In addition, Border Patrol suspects that China's military was orchestrating the infiltration.
* Why would Xi Jinping order an attack? Perhaps to show other Communist Party figures that he has the strength to take on the United States — or to create a crisis during which no one would dare to depose him.

Rumors say mighty Xi Jinping will lose his Communist Party and Chinese state posts in the next few months. There is, however, also a large group of China watchers and academics who say that little or nothing is out of place and Xi is fine.

Whatever the truth, the U.S. and other countries need to prepare for the regime to lash out without warning. Xi may now have reason to take the world by surprise.

There are clear signs that Xi has lost control of the People's Liberation Army, the most important faction in the Communist Party of China. A series of articles, beginning on July 9 of last year, in PLA Daily, the military's main propaganda organ, praised "collective leadership," a clear criticism of Xi's one-man style of rule. At the same time, many of Xi's loyalists were removed from their posts.

While much of the mainstream media failed to focus on it, the French government recently blocked off the exhibitions of all Israeli defense companies at this year's annual Paris Air Show, held last month.

With echoes of the cynically rigged trial of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish French Army officer falsely convicted of treason in 1895, the French exclusively targeted the Israeli displays amidst the many corporate booths displaying the military wares manufactured by defense firms from around the world.

Israel Aerospace Industries CEO Boaz Levy told Aviation Week and Space Technology, "We are shocked by the behavior of the Paris Air Show organizers and the French authorities..." But perhaps we shouldn't be, because anti-Semitism has deep roots in France. Some historians believe that it was Dreyfus being "railroaded" to the infamous prison colony, Devil's Island, that helped inspire Theodor Herzl to found the modern Zionist movement in 1897.
