This is only a 2-parter, so this exciting episode will bring the curtain down on Lin Biao and his famous "Incident." We resume the story following the 1970 Lushan Plenum. Lin, or Lin's ambitious manipulators, pushed Chairman Mao just a bit too much at this meeting, and he decided to take immediate action. This whole 913 Incident, as you will hear, was a huge embarrassment to the Chinese Communist Party. Therefore, it's not surprising that they circled the wagons and went beyond the call of duty to cover up what could still be covered up. Mao had to be careful. With a history filled with men like Wang Mang, Zhu Wen, Zhao Kuangyin, and Yuan Shikai, he knew he had to watch these generals. So here's all the various fun bits of speculation surrounding the days of September 12-13, 1971. No Beatles references in this episode, though I was tempted to mention that Stella McCartney was born on the exact day of the plane crash that ended Lin Biao's life. Thanks everyone, for listening. This episode was posted to Patreon and CHP Premium back in February. Consider joining. You'd have my everlasting appreciation.

In another canny move to throw Trump a political hand grenade, President Biden has wisely let it be known that his administration will not enforce the TikTok ban on Sunday night, leaving it to the incoming Trump Administration to tell the American people why a Chinese Communist owned and controlled social media platform is a good thing for American security interests, as US TikTok content creators flock to a new platform actually in China named after Chairman Mao's “little red book” of communist rules.

From Mao to Main Street: Michael Regilio unravels the surprising story behind Traditional Chinese Medicine's global rise on this week's Skeptical Sunday! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio! On This Week's Skeptical Sunday: The modern global presence of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) is largely a result of political necessity rather than proven effectiveness. Surprisingly, it had been largely abandoned in China by the 1800s until Chairman Mao revived it in the 1960s as a solution to healthcare shortages — despite not personally believing in it himself. The scientific foundation of TCM's core concepts — chi, yin/yang balance, and meridians — remains unproven. Studies attempting to validate these practices face significant challenges, including the impossibility of true double-blind trials and concerns about data reliability, particularly in Chinese research where regulators found over 80% of clinical trial data to be fabricated. Acupuncture's effectiveness appears largely tied to the placebo effect, though this shouldn't be dismissed. Studies show "sham" acupuncture (needles placed randomly) produces similar results to "real" acupuncture, suggesting the specific placement of needles according to meridian theory may be less important than the overall experience and belief in the treatment. Cupping, while popularized by athletes like Michael Phelps, essentially creates controlled tissue damage through suction. Though it may temporarily increase blood flow, it can cause permanent skin damage if done repeatedly and may aggravate existing skin conditions. Chinese herbal medicine represents a bright spot in the TCM landscape, built on 500 million years of plant evolution and chemical development. Some traditional remedies have led to breakthrough modern treatments, like Artemisinin for malaria, showing how ancient wisdom can guide modern medical discoveries when subjected to rigorous scientific testing. This suggests that while we should approach traditional practices with skepticism, we shouldn't dismiss them entirely — instead, we can use modern scientific methods to identify and develop valuable treatments from traditional knowledge.

About the Lecture: Since the time of Chairman Mao, the Chinese Communist Party has recognized Africa's importance. Especially under President Xi Jinping, the continent has become crucial to some of the CCP's most cherished ambitions. In his presentation, Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Joshua Meservey will explain how Africa fits into the CCP's strategy to reorder the international system, gain for China an unassailable lead on the technologies it believes will dominate the future global economy, and refine its domestic systems of control. About the Speaker: Joshua Meservey is a senior fellow at Hudson Institute where he focuses on great power competition in Africa, African geopolitics, and counterterrorism. He was previously a research fellow for Africa at the Heritage Foundation. Before joining Heritage, he worked at the Atlantic Council's Africa Center and at the US Army Special Operations Command where he helped write an Army concept paper. He also worked at Church World Service (CWS) based out of Nairobi, Kenya, and traveled extensively in East and Southern Africa interviewing refugees. He ended his time at CWS responsible for a multinational team of nearly 100 staff. He is a returned Peace Corps volunteer who served in Zambia and extended his service there to work for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Who is to blame if the leader can never be wrong?'Tragedy Without Consequences' by Frank Dikötter is a historical book looking at the famine that was caused during China's 'Great Leap Forward'. It showcases the period from 1958-62 and why a series of decisions stemming from Chairman Mao resulted in the death of 30-45 million people. A reoccurring theme was being out of touch with reality, whether it be untested agricultural reforms, distorted data collection or continual lies bouncing from top to bottom. A truly sad period of history.Massive thanks to Petar & Queen Mother for the support.

In part 2 of our interview with Min Zhou, survivor of the Cultural Revolution and Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Asian American Studies at UCLA, we're going to talk more about Professor Zhou's personal experience. We'll discuss why her dad was a target of the Red Guards, what it felt like knowing her family was in danger at such a young age, how many people were massacred in different parts of China, and the human cost of this mass hysteria, hatred-stoking, and groupthink originally led by Chairman Mao and his cult-like propaganda campaigns. She'll tell us about her parents being both sent to labor camps, the ways she and her siblings survived with them gone, how the Cultural Revolution finally calmed down over time and how she ended up all the way out here in LA, finally achieving her dream of teaching.

Today is part one with Min Zhou, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Asian American Studies at UCLA, who also grew up during the Cultural Revolution: a decade of social chaos in China in the 1960s and 1970s where intellectuals, artists, and anyone perceived as representing capitalism or the "old ways" were persecuted and murdered in the hundreds of thousands or more. She'll tell us about the backstory leading to this moment in history, who Mao Zedong was and what the country's climate was like when he began to use propaganda to create a cult of personality around himself, and the movement to “purge,” through psychological or violent means, anyone who disagreed with Mao's policies. She'll tell us about just how far the fanaticism and propaganda around Chairman Mao went, who the Red Guards were and how they initially seemed just like a cool subculture of young people when she was a kid - until they began to grow more destructive - and why her father was an immediate target. Plus, next week, we'll discuss the labor camps her parents were sent to, and what it was like trying to survive while they were away. Check out our amazing sponsors this week!

Daughters of Shandong (Berkley Books, 2024), the author's first and based on the life of her grandmother, follows the fortunes of a mother and three daughters abandoned by their wealthy family in soon-to-be Communist China. It is 1948, and Chairman Mao's forces have moved into Shandong Province, driving the Nationalist Army into retreat. Although the town of Zhucheng is small and rural, the Ang family owns a palatial estate, built by generations of government officials and scholars. Even before the war turns against them, the family has little use for its eldest daughter-in-law, Chiang-Yue, who has produced three daughters but no sons. The family lives by the ancient Chinese proverb “Value men and belittle women,” so even though its second son does have a male heir, that child's existence cannot redeem Chiang-Yue in her in-laws' eyes. When the Communists approach, the other family members, including the girls' father, flee. The narrator, Li-Hai, stays behind with her mother and sisters—ostensibly to keep either the People's Army or impoverished local farmers from confiscating the Angs' palatial home. Of course, this doesn't work. Soldiers take over the estate the first day. They haul Li-Hai, only thirteen, before an impromptu tribunal as a stand-in for her missing male relatives. She barely escapes with her life. Only Chiang-Yue's history of treating the villagers kindly saves her and her daughters—first from execution, then from starvation. Despite the family's cruel treatment, Chiang-Yue insists that duty requires her to rejoin her husband. Thus begins their trek across China, from Zhucheng to the local hub of Qingdao, then south to Guangzhou (Hong Kong), and eventually across the strait to Taiwan. Hiding in the bushes, scrounging homeless in the streets, surviving a refugee camp—the Ang women and girls are, in their own stubborn way, relentless. And I swear, you will root for them every step of the way. Eve J. Chung is a Taiwanese American lawyer and women's human rights specialist. She has worked on a range of issues, including torture, sexual violence, contemporary forms of slavery, and discriminatory legislation. Her writing is inspired by social justice movements and the continued struggle for equality and fundamental freedoms worldwide. She currently lives in New York with her husband, two children, and two dogs. Daughters of Shandong is her debut novel. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels, including The Merchant's Tale, cowritten with P.K. Adams. Her next novel, Song of the Steadfast, is due early in 2025. Learn more about your ad choices.

Can you ever truly suppress a curious mind? If there was one aim of Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution, it was that. The lauded writer Jung Chang joins Alice Loxton to revisit a childhood characterized by surveillance and prohibition. But even in Communist China – at a time when pins bearing the face of the great leader were worn on every chest – curious minds found a way to explore… From SPYSCAPE, the home of secrets.

By the early 1940s, the Communists in Yan'an were feeling relatively secure. The Japanese advance in north China had not reached that area. The Sino-Japanese War and the United Front meant that Chiang Kai-shek's main concern had been Japan and not the Communist Party. The Nationalist Government in China even funded the Communists in Yan'an.Thousands of recruits flocked to Yan'an.Chairman Mao Zedong used this opportunity to consolidate his leadership of the Communist Party of China. The term Mao Zedong Thought was first introduced and a cult of personality built around Chairman Mao. Mao became the ideological leader of the Chinese Communists. Wang Ming and the 28 Bolsheviks were criticized for Factionalism. Wang Shiwei was purged and executed for criticizing Mao and the "big men" in Yan'an. Intense self-criticism and public criticism sessions re-educated Communists to rebuild them into loyal, obedient Communists with a fighting spirit. This was the first Rectification Campaign, but it was not the last.Major source: Gao, Hua. (2018). How the Red Sun Rose: The Origins and Development of the Yan'an Rectification Movement, 1930–1945.

Why would you want to manufacture psychopaths? Well, psychopaths can be really helpful, especially in a cultural revolution. They need people to do cruel things, like shut the food supply, or rat out your neighbors for bad think. It isn't even my idea, the credit goes to Chairman Mao. What do we see at colleges and universities across the country? Young people are putting their professors on trial; eerily similar to Mao's cultural revolution. You raise a generation of psychopaths by programming them to expect certain things so they won't look deeper into what is actually going on. What does God's Word say? John 10:20 ESV Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?”1 Peter 5:8 ESV  Be sober-minded; be watchful.

In 1968, Jingyu Li and her parents were among hundreds of thousands of Chinese people sent to labour camps during Mao Zedong's so-called cultural revolution.The aim was to re-educate those not thought to be committed to Chairman's Mao drive to preserve and purify communism in China.Jingyu's parents – both college professors - were put to work among the rice and cattle fields, and made to study the works of Chairman Mao. Fearful for their daughter's safety, they disguised six-year-old Jingyu as a boy. Over the next six years, the family were sent to four different camps. Not everyone could cope, as Jingyu tells Jane Wilkinson.(Photo: Reading Mao's little red book in 1968. Credit: Pictures from History/Getty Images)

The tension between China and Taiwan has notched up another level. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we spoke to a respected national security expert about the island nations election of a pro-democracy president and how China is reacting to that. We also addressed President XI’s praise of Chairman Mao and XI’s part in a new “Axis of Evil” that includes China, Russia and North Korea. Religious liberty is under assault in ways it never has been before. We updated you on an important case involving a specialty cake shop and why the outcome of this case is something we should all be concerned about. Gen Z is facing a serious mental health crisis. We discussed how that challenge impacts the way they see and interact with the world and how parents and leaders can navigate these challenges while still building a strong foundation of faith into their lives. Kindness is in short supply these days, even among God’s people. But our guest reminded us of the holy mission set before God’s children to be His ambassadors of His kindness to a hungry and hurting world. In the midst of the chaos and turmoil God is doing amazing, life transforming things in the Middle East. We shared stories that will lengthen your prayer lists for God’s people on the frontlines of this vital mission field. We shared the insights of a man who stood up for civil rights since the 60’s who says that Affirmative Action despite its positive sounding name, actually undermines the teaching and efforts of Dr. King and those who put their lives on the line for civil rights. How do we navigate the challenges of today’s word and the onslaught of news that we get hit with every day? We do it by measuring all of it against the unbending straight stick of God’s truth. Join us today as our husband and wife team take us back to the Word as we turn a critical eye on the news of the week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Senator Ted Cruz, author of Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America, joins us to discuss how the radical left seized each of the major institutions of our society, how conservatives can win hearts and minds to reclaim lost territory in the battleground of ideas, and his outlook on and predictions for the upcoming presidential election.     - - -  Today's Sponsor: Genucel - Limited Inventory Available! https://genucel.com/Klavan #TedCruz #Unwoke #CulturalMarxism

Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Xi Van Fleet (@xivanfleet) who has written a book that should be read by every American who is interested in preserving the republic. Mrs. Van Fleet immigrated to the United States after the death of Chairman Mao, but in the years she lived in China she lived through Mao's murderous cultural revolution. Mrs. Van Fleet is now a staunch U.S. citizen and her book is called Chairman Mao's America: A Survivor's Warning. Having lived through China's cultural revolution, Mrs. Van Fleet explains in her book that Americans must wake up to the fact that their society is now undergoing "a full-scale Marxist revolution" that is being claimed by the Democrats and the Woke to be a simple attempt to promote diversity, equity, and inclusiveness -- the slavery and death machine known as DEI. Mrs. Van Fleet argues that the educational and political systems of the United States has been growing steadily more Marxist since Lenin began funding the Communist Party of the United States in 1919. Interestingly, Moscow did not start funding the CCP until 2021. Just as in Mao's cultural revolution, today's U.S. cultural revolution the educational system -- especially through the bastardization of history -- has replaced republicanism with communism, and this is shown graphically by the preference of the Democrats and their domestic and foreign allies for tyrannical governance over democracy; the encouragement and celebration of widespread and pointless violence; the definition of all Americans as either the oppressors or the oppressed, and identifying -- in the American case -- minority groups of all sorts as the heroic oppressed and all whites as the oppressors who must be wiped out -- the so called victimized of yesterday are duty bound to become the victimizers of today. Mrs. Van Fleet says there are many steps needed to counteract and eventually destroy this American cultural evolution, but none is more important than ending taxpayer funding for universities -- especially those that are ranked as the most prestigious.

Chairman Mao was a librarian. Stalin was a published poet. Evelyn Waugh served as a commando - before leaving to write Brideshead Revisited. Since the advent of modern warfare, books have all too often found themselves on the frontline. In The Book At War: Libraries and Readers in an Age of Conflict (Basic Books, 2023), acclaimed historian Dr. Andrew Pettegree traces the surprising ways in which written culture - from travel guides and scientific papers to Biggles and Anne Frank - has shaped, and been shaped, by the conflicts of the modern age. From the American Civil War to the invasion of Ukraine, books, authors and readers have gone to war - and in the process become both deadly weapons and our most persuasive arguments for peace. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

We're in for a real treat today as we welcome author and doctor of classical Chinese Medicine, Ann Cecil-Sterman, on to the show. Ann is a passionate participant in the revival and preservation of the classical teaching's of acupuncture. In a societal landscape where this incredibly rich and time-honoured craft is continually being dried out and robbed of its innate magic and energetic intelligence, Ann's work is profoundly needed. Speaking to us of the emergence and history of acupuncture, Ann takes us on a journey through its origins, emphasising its birth as a complete system devoid of any gradual elemental development. Instead, over time, its holistic essence has been eroded by the commercialisation and materialistic pursuits of the Western world. Ann sheds light on the fact that even the term "Traditional," commonly used to describe this ancient practice (e.g. Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM), is a relatively recent addition, tacked on to the modality by Chairman Mao at the time of its colonisation. We're reminded that classical acupuncture is a practice founded on the principals of animism, a shamanic offering that ultimately aims to heal an individual's ailing spirit through devotional intention, a medicine that is truly of the heart.  Ann graciously guides us through the intricate network of acupuncture points and channels, highlighting how the Western approach, driven by intellectual rigour, has often oversimplified this comprehensive system. Confusing rote learning and academia with genuine skill and mastery. Throughout this incredibly inspiring and thought provoking chat, the message we're continually left with is this; the core essence of Chinese medicine and acupuncture is derived from the concept of conservation, one that holds deep reverence for bodily energy as a finite resource. The human form is seen to be the bridge between what is of the heavens and what is of the earth, and following the Tao, the way; nature, is a task that asks us to be considerate of what surrounds us, above, below, and in all directions. To know deeply that although we exist within a sea of infinite energetic potential, that the flesh, sinew, bone and blood of our body is at the mercy of elemental forces, and to live long and prosper, we must be moderate in our consumption of life and experience. Listening to Ann share her profound wisdom with Mason is a genuine pleasure, offering a discourse that I hope all our listeners will savour and contemplate.   Ann & Mason discuss: - The historical emergence of classical acupuncture.  - How the true practices of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have been diluted through colonisation. - Reducing degenerative disease with lifestyle medicine. - The connection between mental health and Kidney Essence. - Cold exposure through the lens of Chinese medicine. - The healing potential of warm water.   Resource guide Guest Links Ann's WebsiteAnn's Instagram Ann's Facebook  Ann's Twitter  Mentioned In This Episode Becoming Healthy, Staying Healthy Book Related Podcasts Why Chinese Medicine Is Failing Us with Rhonda Chang (EP#80) YinYang Wuxing For Inner Harmony with Rhonda Chang (EP#89) Preserving Classical Chinese Medicine with Dr. Simon Feeney (EP#127)   Connect With Us SuperFeast InstagramSuperFeast FacebookSuperFeast TikTok SuperFeast Online Education   Check Out The Transcript Below: https://www.superfeast.com.au/blogs/articles/reviving-classical-acupuncture-with-ann-cecil-sterman-ep-208  

The Dark Parallels of China's Cultural Revolution and Today's America: Survivor Xi Van Fleet American Thought Leaders "From a very early age—kindergarten—we were taught that our parents are just biological parents. The real parents is 'the Party,' and Chairman Mao. And so, if there's a conflict between choosing your own parents or the Party, you should always, always choose the Party. And that's basically what the Red Guards did." In this episode I sit down with Xi Van Fleet, who grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution. She's the author of the new book, “Mao's America: A Survivor's Warning.” "Communism is about abolition of private property. But I would say, more important than that, is the abolition of independent thinking. It's really, really about control of peoples' minds. And also, it's about dividing people. They don't want to rule over a united population," says Ms. Van Fleet. We discuss her childhood under Mao's regime, and what it was like to be subjected to brainwashing, re-education, and struggle sessions. We also examine woke indoctrination today, and how ideologues are adopting Mao's methods of re-writing history and destroying the nuclear family. "Here, especially today in schools, you are supposed to go to 'trusted adults,' not your parents. And so, they do not say 'Party,' but it is very similar. They want to cut the ties between parents and children. Why? That's how you control the children," says Ms. Van Fleet.

SynopsisRoyalty was often flattered by the composers of the Baroque age. Handel wrote glorious ceremonial music for British monarchs, and Bach was not above working up an obsequiously complimentary cantata or two for some German prince. At the French Court of Versailles, King Louis XIV appeared on stage for cameo appearances during operas and ballets whose stories complemented Louis' wisdom, talent and impeccable good taste.On today's date in 1987, at the Houston Grand Opera in Texas, Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, and Chairman Mao didn't come on stage in their own personas, but did appear as characters in the premiere of a new opera by American composer John Adams. Nixon in China was a somewhat surreal and not necessarily flattering dramatization of a real event: President Nixon's ground-breaking trip to communist China in 1972.One can only guess at the former president's reaction to being portrayed on stage. Adams did report that Nixon's lawyer, Leonard Garment, attended a performance of Nixon in China, most likely on the former president's behalf. No lawsuit followed, and, Adams notes with some amusement, Garment even became something of a fan of his music!Music Played in Today's ProgramJohn Adams (b. 1947) Nixon in China - Orchestra of St. Luke's; Edo de Waart, cond.

For the decade between 1966 and 1976, Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution wreaked immense havoc on China – with up to 2 million killed, and another 36 million persecuted for perceived political or cultural sins. Tania Branigan is the author of a Cundill Prize-shortlisted book Red Memory, which draws on personal testimonies to chart the story of this terrifying decade. Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne, she discusses why the Cultural Revolution was such a significant moment in Chinese history and explores its continued impact on the country's politics, culture and psyche today.

However, his rule was marred with controversies and disastrous policies, leading to widespread suffering, trauma, and ultimately the deaths of millions.In the first episode of Warfare's Dictators series, James is joined by author Jung Chang to talk about her and her family's experiences under Mao's rule, and to help shed light on who exactly Mao was.

Xi Van Fleet discusses her childhood growing up in Mao's Cultural Revolution in China and the scary parallels she sees happening in the United States. She says that President Biden's recent speech calling America's children's “everyone's children,” is similar to the Mao's approach to children in China which were seen first as the ”governments' children,” over the “biological parents.” Saying “Chairman Mao, he was the father for all Chinese children, so our loyalty should go to the party and Chairman Mao first. That means if you'll find your parents, say things or do things that is not in line with the party, you'll report them.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
