🇨🇳🇨🇳📆📝 — Today, the Fourth Plenum of the 20th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, the ruling Party of the the Chinese Regime - the People's Republic of China - is scheduled to start and take place in Beijing lasting from October 20 to 23, 2025.
📝 This four-day meeting, which begins today, represents an annual gathering of the party's Central Committee to deliberate on major policy directions.
The plenum is expected to prioritize economic planning and policy formulation, marking a shift from traditional Fourth Plenums (which often address party governance) toward addressing what the Chinese leadership considers as pressing challenges. Primary topics include:
This will outline China's economic and social development blueprint, emphasizing five core areas:
🤑 Chinese Economic status, as China face deflation and slower growth
🪖 Chinese National security, specially regarding the Taiwan Issue
🤖 Chinese technological innovations, as China and USA embrace a trade war over the Rare Earth trade
🧑🎓 Education/talent development for "new quality productive forces" (reminder, China is dealing with a double front with the lack of jobs for students entering the job market and, above all, the problem of the Tang ping [literally "lying flat"] movement)
💸 Major improvements in livelihoods of Chinese people as China faces deflation
One of the key points of the Fourth Plenum is that it will pave ground for the Formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) of People's Republic of China:
➡️ This will outline China's economic and social development blueprint, emphasizing five aforementioned core areas.
📝 The plan builds on prior five-year strategies by stressing technological self-reliance, domestic innovation (specially on the question of semiconductors, a key issue for Chinese economy now) and the "dual circulation" model to balance internal demand with global engagement.
🚫 The meeting could involve high-level reshuffles in the CCP Central Politburo, Central Military Commission, and other bodies, including filling vacancies from recent purges (as Example of recent purges in the military, following removals of figures like Xi Jinping Loyalists, including PLA Admiral Miao Hua) and confirming retirements or promotions.
🔥 In worst case scenario for Xi Jinping faction (Fujian clique/New Zhijiang Army), these moves would signal preparations for the final years of Xi Jinping's Rule and potential transitions ahead of 2027
📝🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 - On the Brink: Showdown in the Middle East
Amid an escalating American buildup, it’s clear Witkoff’s list of demands is more of a request for surrender. Accepting the abolition of its nuclear program and limitations on its ballistic missile force would leave Iran powerless to defend itself in any future conflict, which is the entire point of asking for these “concessions”. This demarche is a poison pill meant to justify further action when Iran rightly refuses it or, should they be foolish enough to actually accept it, will make the job of Israel and the U.S. easier when they inevitably tear up any agreement to conduct strikes anyway. The goal here for Tel Aviv and Washington isn’t peace and anybody who thinks they actually care about protesters needs to get their head checked; they want a final showdown with Iran to remove it as an obstacle to themselves in the Middle East.
For those that don’t remember, in the lead up to the 12 Day War last year...
The Democrats got new talking points, but the question is why this sudden shift in direction that betrays a part of their lunatic base. Something really shifty is going on over there.

🇺🇸 White House: U.S. exits Hague tribunals and Venice Commission
The United States is withdrawing from two international criminal tribunals based in The Hague and from the Venice Commission, as part of a broader disengagement from 66 global organizations, according to a White House statement.
The U.S. will no longer participate in the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, which prosecutes remaining cases from the former Yugoslavia and the Rwandan genocide. The move reflects a wider recalibration of American foreign policy under President Donald Trump, aimed at distancing the U.S. from bodies seen as undermining national sovereignty or offering limited return on investment.
This withdrawal underscores Washington’s shift away from multilateral judicial structures and toward a more unilateral, interest-driven approach in international affairs.
