01｜ Taiwan’s Ministry of Agriculture Announces African Swine Fever Outbreak in Taichung City. Is the CCP’s “Unrestricted Biological Warfare” Behind It?

Council members questioned why the Taichung City Government delayed inspection for 10 days.
Taiwan was just recognized by the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) as an African Swine Fever (ASF) free country in 2024, and this June was formally certified as Asia’s only “Three Major Pig Diseases Free Zone” country. This certification was supposed to be extremely beneficial for Taiwan’s pork exports.

Think back to the July 21st broadcast:

The program analyzed the tons of illegally imported meat products seized in Los Angeles, as well as the cold chain and carriers, and the relationship between African Swine Fever and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and CCP-ruled China. It explained how African Swine Fever is interlinked with the CCP’s research networks for unrestricted biological weapons and traditional biological weapons.
In 2019, pork jerky exported from the CCP-ruled China to Taiwan contained African Swine Fever DNA.

African Swine Fever completely fits the “Unrestricted Warfare” theory:
❶ Low Cost — No military force required to execute the mission;
❷ High Concealment — The epidemic can be disguised as a natural event;
❸ Long Latency — Delayed effects make attribution difficult;
❹ Huge Impact — Can destroy industrial chains and public trust.
Both Chinese and English versions are available here. Hope everyone, especially friends in Taiwan, will spread this widely.

02｜ Trump Administration Considers Restricting Exports to China of Global Goods Produced “Using or Containing U.S.-made Software Programs.” (https://ludepress.com/usa/41199/)

This is one of the responses to the CCP’s “Rare Earth Weaponization.”
The intensity of this is even greater than the technology supply cut-off sanctions President Biden imposed on Russia when the Russia-Ukraine war broke out; it is absolutely a strategic strike. Because back then, controls on Russia only covered military and high-tech equipment; now, for the CCP-ruled China, it covers dual-use (military and civilian) items.
Once implemented, it could cover all products dependent on U.S. software, including: operating systems, computer-aided design (CAD), AI training tools, industrial control systems, engine control programs, aviation and energy software…
This means not only U.S. companies but all enterprises globally using U.S.-made software must comply, because of “Long-Arm Jurisdiction.”
This is equivalent to shifting from hardware manufacturing to a blockade of the algorithm and software ecosystem; this is directly pinching off the oxygen tube of the CCP-ruled China’s technology.
The CCP’s drones, satellites, Beidou (navigation system), missiles… which of these doesn’t rely on U.S. software? As soon as the U.S. ban is issued, none of these can be used.
Although the CCP-ruled China is said to be the hub of global manufacturing and the algorithm ecosystem, the core algorithms and control/operating systems are all derived from U.S.-made software. In the future, the CCP-ruled China won’t be able to make any exports with even a little high added value; it amounts to being directly locked down.
Other countries like India, Mexico, and those in Southeast Asia will be overjoyed, rushing to seize the market vacancies left by the CCP. The CCP-ruled China’s status as a major manufacturing nation will end.

The tariffs and software restrictions targeting the CCP’s “Rare Earth Weaponization” could both be implemented as early as November 1st. Releasing this information (leaking this wind) is to force Xi Jinping to come meet Trump, to come “Bearing thorns to plead guilty” (throw himself at Trump’s mercy), to come kneel and beg for mercy.
The CCP’s current response is “Xi is failing again,” or “Wang Qishan(former vice president) and Zhu Rongji(former prime minister) are going to replace Xi to manage the economy.” But playing this game is useless for them; America simply won’t engage with it. America is very clear: regardless of whether Xi is on stage (in power) or not, America is going to dismantle the CCP’s entire regime and thoroughly “Open up China.”

◉ Biden’s ban on Russia was due to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine; essentially, it was a blockade of military strategy. Trump’s ban on the CCP-ruled China is to directly decouple from the CCP in terms of civilization and technology. Next comes the “White List” and “One Size Fits All” (sweeping approach).
The series of policies from the Trump administration now clearly demonstrates that the U.S. intends to systematically and permanently weaken the CCP-ruled China, weakening its influence and capabilities. Moreover, it is advancing a rhythmic, systemic destruction of the CCP, that is non-violent and peaceful. However, if the CCP strikes first, the U.S. will make a preemptive strike.
America’s current means/tools are more diversified, and they have entered a phase of legalization and institutionalization; they are not temporary, but long-term.

03｜ America’s “Hunter Culture”, “Hunting Culture” ➡️ “Bounty Hunter Culture” ➡️ Integrated into National Strategy

◉ Hunters never hunt with drums beating and gongs clanging; they must be especially patient and especially good at camouflage.
So, looking again at Trump always saying he is “good friends” with you, Xi Jinping, acting very peaceful and friendly toward you—this covers the legal, economic, and alliance tools operating in the background. It makes you relax your vigilance, expose your vulnerabilities, and then allows for a fatal strike on your critical nodes.

◉ America’s “Hunter Spirit” is not merely a personal hobby, nor is it the CCP’s evil “Fox Hunt” (Operation Fox Hunt)—the cross-border pursuit and killing of dissidents. The “Hunter Spirit” is a type of civilization that has been integrated into the group character, emphasizing: the hunter has a legitimate right to violence when facing nature and wild beasts.
A hunter must be able to identify prey, track its trajectory, and strike precisely. This represents a governance right of order opposing wildness; it is a manifestation of wisdom and civilization.
In the U.S. national security system, this “Hunter Spirit” corresponds perfectly. Organizations like the CIA, FBI, and Special Forces derive their logic from “Hunting Missions.” The “Bounty Hunter” mechanism also evolved into the transnational pursuit system for international terrorism, drug lords, and war criminals.
America’s “Hunting” has ethical premises: it is “culling/hunting,” not “massacre/slaughter.” Hunting is the reasonable, legal, and precise removal of targets that threaten life and order.
Therefore, once a certain regime/hostile force is designated as “anti-human,” it is automatically fitted into this “Hunter Spirit.” You can hunt beasts, but you cannot hunt humans; however, once these regimes/organizations are listed as “anti-human,” it is equivalent to placing them in the category of “non-human species.”
Trump has already started laying the groundwork on Truth Social. Next is the handling of the Xi’s CCP gang regime as “non-human,” which also implies entering the list for legal hunting.

◉ Trump’s current rhetoric toward Xi Jinping is “Hunting Language.”
❶ A hunter must never provoke the target;
❷ Must lure the prey closer and make it relax its guard;
❸ Wait for the most suitable moment to take the prey down and capture it.

Right now, in the view of the Trump administration, the Xi’s CCP gang belongs to the category of politically huntable targets. The entire Trump administration has entered a “Bounty Hunter” style state mode; this is a “National Mission.”

04｜ A Few Hours Before the Treasury Department Announced Secondary Sanctions on Russian Oil, Treasury Secretary Bessent Paved the Way with “Official Code Words”

◉ On the afternoon of the 22nd, Treasury Secretary Bessent said that within 24 hours, the U.S. would have a substantial sanction on Russia. His exact words were: “a substantial pickup in Russia sanctions.”
“Those who know, know” (Insiders get it): this means implementing secondary sanctions on Russian oil, and the CCP is their target. Sure enough, once announced, it was completely verified.
“Substantial pickup” literally translates to “substantial increase,” but this term is actually an “official code word,” a “signal” with a specific meaning. It sounds mild, but in reality, it refers to: a deep expansion in the scope and intensity of sanctions at the technical level. Sanctions will shift from a “blacklist” of individual names to a comprehensive network-wide sanction. Especially involving: cross-border secondary sanctions and the freezing of third-party financial chains.
“Substantial” implies: a cross-departmental, cross-jurisdictional, and holistic network upgrade.
Furthermore, once the Treasury Department uses “substantial pickup,” it means they already have the legal tools; no new legislation is needed, just an administrative notification.

◉ After Bessent released the news, the market had a brief, immediate reaction. The S&P 500 fell 1.3%, the Nasdaq fell 1.9%, followed by a slight recovery.
The market knows a big event is coming next, a network-wide systemic sanction, so the market reacted. But this reaction isn’t the market fearing U.S. sanctions on Russia and the CCP; it’s just investors avoiding risk and then repositioning. This is a healthy volatility.

◉ Coincidentally, just before Bessent announced the increased sanctions on Russia, India said it had reached a trade agreement with the U.S., with tariffs lowered to 10-15%. Japan was also asked by the U.S. not to buy Russian energy anymore. The upcoming sanctions on Russia are actually targeting the CCP.

05｜ US Treasury Announces Secondary Sanctions on Russian Oil, The CCP is the Biggest Loser!

The U.S. Treasury officially published “Treasury Sanctions Major Russian Oil Companies, Calls on Moscow to Immediately Agree to Ceasefire,”(https://ludepress.com/featured/41194/) effective immediately.
“We encourage our allies to join us in and adhere to these sanctions.” Europe will march in lockstep.
The U.S. sanctions two major Russian oil entities: Open Joint Stock Company Rosneft Oil Company (Rosneft) and Public Joint-Stock Company Oil Company Lukoil (Lukoil). These two are Russia’s largest sources of oil revenue, combined accounting for about 60% of Russian oil exports. The list includes nearly 40 subsidiaries covering: the full chain of exploration, drilling, refining, transportation, natural gas, and petrochemicals, covering all Russian oil and gas fields and refineries.
This is a coordinated strategic action by the Treasury, the Oval Office, and the State Department: Financial War + Diplomatic War.

◉ It looks like it’s hitting Russian companies, but it actually strikes at the heart of the CCP.
These two oil companies must rely on Chinese capital financial chains behind the scenes to route money around in circles to get their returns. Now, as long as the CCP’s banking system continues to assist in the settlement of Russian oil, it becomes a directly expanded sanction target.
Xi Jinping absolutely dare not disconnect from Russian oil or stop trading. He even (failed on) the promise to have civil aviation bypass Russian airspace—the U.S. has already tested this political stance and found that the Xi’s CCP gang dare not cut ties with Russia at all. So, they are just waiting to be hit by secondary sanctions.
The rule the U.S. is setting for the CCP here is: If you want to use the US dollar, you must obey U.S. security standards, otherwise SWIFT can be cut off for you.

◉ “Effective immediately” means that from now on, once the list is published, the assets of the sanctioned targets, including: all bank accounts, funds, and contractual rights, are immediately frozen. There is no grace period.
Next, the U.S. banking system will update the list and distribute it to overseas banking networks. Major banks, insurance companies, and shipping companies will have to manually verify client lists, counterparties, insurance policy numbers, etc. Then we wait for international collaboration; once countries update simultaneously according to regulations, the full effect will appear.
If the CCP-ruled China does not immediately and synchronously cut off transactions with Russian oil companies and freeze their assets, then it will have to bear secondary sanctions.

◉ Unlike the 100% tariffs and software ban on November 1st which haven’t landed yet, the secondary sanctions on Russian oil are already a done deal (set in stone).
Regardless of whether Xi Jinping goes to meet Trump or not, these secondary sanctions are in effect. Moreover, the snapback of secondary sanctions on Iran is already in effect, it just takes some time to show results. Furthermore, both of these sanctions cannot be revoked.
Once this Treasury sanction is issued, it becomes part of the law. If it were to be revoked or waived, the President would have to sign a new executive order, the Treasury would have to formally announce a waiver, and these procedures would have to go through Congressional filing and review by Treasury lawyers. So this isn’t something that can be negotiated diplomatically; this is a judicially binding administrative act.
This is to let Xi Jinping know: fake peace-seeking and fake cooperation are useless; you can’t hoodwink America. You must exchange real, tangible interests.

◉ This locks down the CCP’s two major blood supply arteries: finance and energy. This paves the way for the next stage of decoupling and liquidation.

06｜ Xi Forced into a Dead End: Will He Meet Trump or Not?

Now that these Russian oil sanctions are out, but not immediately linked to secondary tariffs, it’s actually the U.S. forcing Xi Jinping to go meet Trump.
It produces a shock effect in the short term, but leaves a time gap, driving Xi Jinping crazy: To meet Trump or not to meet him?
The secondary sanctions are already set in stone and in effect. As for secondary tariffs, as long as the Treasury and the White House make a move, there is absolutely no problem.
Right now, the financial weapon is released first to cut off capital flow and damage the currency circulation and credit system. Tariffs are used to block logistics, because tariffs are related to products. Tariffs are the next step, which will affect corporate profits and the market. This is an exquisite “Strategic Delay Design”: Tariffs are a diplomatic bait. The 155% tariff is a countdown weapon to make Xi Jinping come to the meeting. Secondary sanctions are actually equivalent to invisible tariffs, naturally possessing the effect of raising costs for the sanctioned party and freezing trade. So there is no rush at all for secondary tariffs.
If the 155% tariffs on November 1st still can’t knock the CCP down, the U.S. will throw out another wave of secondary tariffs, constantly raising the stakes.

07｜ Secondary Sanctions Also Push Putin to Meet Trump, Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire.

Previously, Russia could still route money through the CCP’s banks and companies, but with these secondary sanctions, the U.S. has plugged this loophole for Russia. Russian oil can still be sold abroad, but the return funds cannot be retrieved. At the same time, the “shadow fleet” is being jointly targeted by the U.S. and Europe. So this is also forcing Putin to go to Budapest for a meeting and peace talks, and to stop asking for sky-high prices.

If Putin is sensible and obedient, the U.S. can use some “leverage diplomacy” to make some deals with Russia, such as reducing further penalties on Russia. Sanctions could be suspended, but this is unrelated to the secondary sanctions on the CCP, because the legal basis and unlocking mechanisms for the two are different:
▪︎ The legal basis for sanctions on Russian oil companies is: Threatening Ukraine’s sovereignty and global stability.
▪︎ The legal basis for secondary sanctions on the CCP-ruled China is: Evading U.S. sanctions and assisting the war finance of a hostile nation.
To unlock them, the paths taken are different.

So, Russia’s Putin now not only has to eagerly run over to hold peace talks with Trump and Zelenskyy, but also must quickly look for what other chips he has to sell out the Xi’s CCP gang. He can’t take a bite out of the meat that is Ukraine, so he can only go take a bite out of the Xi’s CCP gang.
