Sharp Chinese netizens noticed something unusual at this year’s “Two Sessions” of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).

Xi Jinping and members of the NPC Standing Committee were not seated on the traditional elevated stage. Instead, they sat among the crowd—breaking a long-standing visual hierarchy where top leaders occupy the central dais for thousands of lower-level attendees to face and look up to.

Some observers interpret the shift as a security signal. In an era of precision intelligence and targeted strikes against leadership nodes, concentrating the entire top command visibly in one location may no longer feel safe.

Meanwhile, overseas Chinese commentators have circulated claims—unverified—that Iran’s internal surveillance systems were allegedly penetrated by Israeli intelligence, exposing leadership locations to U.S. targeting. Those same rumor channels suggest Xi may have ordered an emergency removal of China’s civilian surveillance network known as “Sky Net” (天网). Rumor also spread, that Xi instructed his propaganda department to stop all Taiwan conquering narratives.

Sorry I didn’t use Fishbowl for a while and I’m not sure if my PM was sent. I read Chinese people’s social media posts, where people know how to use VPNs to hide their IP addresses and penetrate the “Great Firewall” censorship. They also use coded language to avoid triggering a large army of “information security” workers, which helps me get a general idea of unemployment and observe signs of power dynamics among CCP leaders. Like real historians who study history through people’s letters and diaries, I think this is the best way to align with the reality of people’s conditions in China after Xi took power.

If Israel can locate Chinese leaders and penetrate secure systems………

President Donald Trump really wanted a made-for-TV moment when he left the hospital.
