HE HAD HIS PREDECESSOR
DRAMATICALLY HAULED OUT AND
FILLING HIS INNER CIRCLES WITH
ALLIES LOYAL TO THE COMMUNIST
PARTY.

THE U.S., ASIA EXPERT AND AUTHOR
OF THE COMING COLLAPSE OF CHINA,

>> YESTERDAY AT THE CLOSING
SHARE HE MOW ANYCEREMONY, XI JIN
PREDECESSOR WAS FORCIBLY REMOVED
FROM THE CEREMONY IN FRONT OF
EVERYONE.
THIS WAS A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO
HUMILIATE AND SHOW XI IS IN
COMPLETE CONTROL AN THAT’S A
CHILLING MESSAGE BECAUSE XI

ARE DANGEROUS, ARE MURDEROUS, M
MALICIOUS, THE WORLD HAS TO BE
EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
DIRECTION CHINA IS GOING IN.
THE COMMITTEE IS PACKED WITH
XI’S ALLIES.
THERE IS NOBODY WHO IS OF A
DIFFERENT VIEW THAN XI JINPING.
RACHEL: IT WAS SO EERIE SEEING
HIM TRY TO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE.
DO WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
>> NO, WE DON’T NOW.
NOW, THE NEWS AGENCY SAYS THAT
HE HAD A HEALTH EMERGENCY.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE VIDEO, THERE
IS NOTHING THERE TO CONFIRM
THAT.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, ONE OF THE
PEOPLE WHO HELPED, QUOTE,
UNQUOTE, XI JINPING -- HELPED
HIM OUT WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF XI
JINPING’S GUARDS.
SO REALLY WHAT WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT IS SOMETHING THAT WAS

SURPRISE.
SO THIS IS A XI JINPING WHO CAN
TAKE THE UNITED STATES BY
SURPRISE AND WE HAVE A POLITICAL
ESTABLISHMENT RIGHT NOW IN
WASHINGTON AND IN THE PENTAGON
THAT REALLY UP TO AT LEAST A
WEEK AGO HAD NO SENSE OF
URGENCY.
THE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS,
THE TOP U.S. NAVY OFFICER, LAST
WEEK TALKED ABOUT HOW WE NEED TO
GET READY FOR A WAR THIS YEAR.
RACHEL: THAT IS SCARY STUFF AND
WE HAVE A BE PRESIDENT PRESIDENT
