China's Internal Turmoil: The Arrest of General Zhang Youxia and Its Global Ripples
In a riveting discussion on Winn Tucson, host Kathleen Winn delved into breaking developments from China with Ava Chen of the New Federal State of China. Chen urged listeners to pray for the Chinese people amid escalating instability under Xi Jinping's rule. She revealed that since January 24, 2026, Xi has arrested General Zhang Youxia, his top military commander and a close ally, in a move that could ignite regime change.
Chen dismissed Western media reports, like those in the Wall Street Journal, claiming Zhang leaked nuclear secrets as CCP propaganda. Instead, she asserted the New Federal State of China first exposed the truth: Zhang was collaborating with the United States to dismantle the CCP and avert nuclear catastrophe.
Ava Chen: "General Zhang has done the most heroic thing that the daughters and sons of Chinese people would remember forever... He actually has been working with the United States and trying to bring down the CCP. He's the one that has a button, a nuclear weapon... The CCP has close to a thousand [nuclear warheads]."
Chen detailed Zhang's critical role: a combat-experienced professional soldier with deep respect among troops, he controlled weapons procurement for over a decade, managing a budget of $2-3 trillion—15-20% of China's GDP. He also oversaw arms flows to North Korea, Russia, and Iran. His arrest has triggered purges of thousands, with Xi's security forces hunting connections, leading to killings and lockdowns.
Kathleen Winn: "They're killing people in China is what you're saying." Ava Chen: "Absolutely... Xi Jinping is out of luck because this commander... has promoted so many captains, lieutenants... Xi Jinping himself doesn't have a root in the military."
Chen stressed Zhang's fate remains unknown—he's reportedly held in a basement at Beijing's West Mountain military headquarters. She tied this to broader exposure of Xi's regime, noting average Chinese citizens don't hate America, but the CCP exploits nations like vampires, as seen in Venezuela where China secured oil at $20 below market rates for self-enrichment.
The Spark for Regime Change: Internal Divisions and External Pressures
Chen framed Zhang's defiance as a potential tipping point, aligning with dissident Miles Guo's strategies for toppling the CCP from within. She outlined three pillars: weakening and dividing the country, military uprising, and widespread public support—all now met under Xi's 14-year reign.
Ava Chen: "The only way that a mighty superpower falls is from within with the support from outside... This arrest... has basically ripped the whole system from inside out."
Generational loyalty between the Zhang and Xi families—Zhang's father protected Xi's in the early CCP days—makes the betrayal seismic. Chen predicted allies like Putin, Kim Jong-un, BRICS nations (India, South Africa), and Shanghai Cooperation Organization members will rethink ties, hedging toward the U.S. under Trump.
She highlighted Trump's recent 100% tariff threat against Canada for CCP deals, which prompted a backdown, as building a perimeter to isolate Xi. Chen called this a "once-in-a-century opportunity" to eradicate the CCP, the "headquarters of international communism" and "cancer of humanity."
Ava Chen: "This is the best gift God gives to the United States... The whole world is now seeing this is possible. Free China is not a dream. It's reality."
Despite internet lockdowns, public reactions are encouraging, signaling momentum. Chen warned Xi's anti-corruption campaign since 2012 has jailed or disappeared nearly 10 million CCP members, creating enemies from affected families—multiplied by four or five per person—plus economic woes like high unemployment, real estate crashes wiping out 70% of savings in some areas, and a social credit system punishing dissenters by blocking services.
Ava Chen: "The CCP has lost everybody's hearts... The whole country, he's almost a major enemy of."
Winn echoed the need for prayer, noting these crises drive people to God and expose CCP lies.
CCP Compromise Tactics: The Case of Tim Walz and Broader U.S. Implications
Turning to U.S. ties, Chen and Winn dissected Governor Tim Walz's CCP connections, highlighted in Rudy Giuliani's interview. Walz's 30 China visits raise red flags, per Chen, as even one trip targets officials with "BGY" tactics—beautiful girls, booze (sometimes laced with chemicals), and bribes.
Ava Chen: "They were targeting you with beautiful girls... Make you feel like you're so on top of the world... Then they put money in front of you... 99.9% of people would be taken."
She referenced Hunter Biden's recordings expressing disbelief at deals, and a January 25, 2026, Blendr Report interview with a former RCMP officer describing CCP compromises in Hong Kong, like sealing $1 billion deals via handshakes amid "pretty girls" and psychological ops.
Chen linked this to policies harming U.S. security, like Biden-era immigration surges. Winn noted pushback against deportations, including Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes urging public monitoring of ICE agents, as signs of compromise.
Kathleen Winn: "Everybody that's pushing back, it tells me they're compromised... Tim Walz is the poster child for this right now."
Chen tied crises to Beijing, citing Miles Guo's 2017 warnings about COVID as a bioweapon, elite complicity (e.g., Fauci's alleged ties to Wuhan director Wang Yanyi, including hotel meetings and Bitcoin holdings), and Guo providing FBI documents—yet he's imprisoned.
Ava Chen: "Every single crisis leads to Beijing is not hyperbole... We have the same enemy. That is the Chinese Communist Party."
Update on Miles Guo: Fighting for Classified Truths
Chen provided an update on Miles Guo's case: sentencing postponed to April 2026 amid filings under the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA). Guo's lawyers seek buried trial materials, which Chen believes will prove him a hero.
Ava Chen: "These materials are going to turn around everything... Miles Guo is a hero... He told me that COVID-19 is a bioweapon. If you believe that's a bioweapon, don't take vaccine."
She credited Guo's intel for her avoiding the vaccine, emphasizing his warnings benefited believers regardless of recognition.
Arizona's Border Chaos and Political Resistance
Shifting to local issues, Winn hosted Dave Smith, former law enforcement officer and Pima County GOP chair, to unpack Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes' call for public monitoring of ICE agents via videos and a website for reporting "federal misconduct."
Smith labeled it an impeachable offense, endangering plainclothes officers and distracting from state crises like child welfare and cartels.
Dave Smith: "She in essence [is] saying if a law enforcement officer in plainclothes is trying to arrest you and you're in fear of your life, you get to shoot him or her... As the top cop in the state, she's now going to turn 100% of her focus to monitoring the federal government."
Winn tied this to broader Democratic desperation amid failing narratives, noting no sympathy for injured officers like one run over or an ICE agent bitten. Smith highlighted asymmetrical warfare: Democrats ignore rules while Republicans cling to morals, with media bias amplifying it.
Dave Smith: "The media would [fall on your head] if a Republican had done something that a Democrat does routinely."
They discussed a recent Arivaca shooting where a coyote fired at an ICE helicopter, underscoring dangers. Smith praised federal training at FLETC, rejecting claims of poor preparation.
Historical Lessons: From Stalin to Gramsci in Modern Politics
Smith traced leftist tactics to pre-World War II lessons, contrasting Stalin's 60-80 million killings for power with Mussolini's industrial successes. He spotlighted Antonio Gramsci, imprisoned Italian Communist leader, who advised gradual bureaucratic and media control over violent revolution.
Dave Smith: "In advanced capitalist societies, the bureaucracy has far more power... Do an evolution of control."
Smith accused Soros of capturing secretaries of state, attorneys general, and media, using "empathy" to weaponize compassion—e.g., welfare as communism, per Goldwater's 1960 warnings—eroding Christian principles.
Election Integrity: Doubts, Denials, and Calls for Action
Smith and Winn voiced suspicions over Arizona elections, citing uninvestigated claims of 100,000-300,000 illegal votes. They urged DOJ scrutiny, criticizing former state GOP chair for siding against integrity efforts and enabling mail-in voting without observers.
Dave Smith: "Show me I have a solid electoral process... We must have election integrity."
Winn noted Democrats peeling off after a close city council race exposing flaws, stressing massive legal turnout to prevent rigging.
Activism at the Local Level: Laurie Moore's Call to Action
Laurie Moore, a local activist, called in to rally attendance at Pima County Board of Supervisors meetings, urging visuals like packed rooms and flags to go viral and intimidate Democrats.
Laurie Moore: "I want to fill that room... Get it out there on viral... Let them all hear what we got to say."
Smith praised Moore as a "warrior," noting sparse crowds allow unchecked leftist policies. He criticized Supervisor Jen Eckstrom's lengthy anti-America rants, calling for support of lone Republican Steve Christy.
Dave Smith: "Off the gloves folks... We need to point out the leftists and the Marxists."
Moore highlighted child trafficking via Casas Adobes, where unvetted traffickers received $5,000 Visa cards per person, including for unrelated children—lucrative under Democrats.
Laurie Moore: "Those four Democrats letting those illegals in, it was child trafficking... What a lucrative business these Democrats have made for child traffickers."
She plans her next speech on this, encouraging even silent attendance or prepared talks. Winn suggested bringing victim photos for accountability.
Moore noted 144 Tucson preschools versus two in other districts as potential corruption, plus past Democrat blasts failing to mobilize.
Laurie Moore: "We are just yards away from the four Democrats that caused and funded the invasion of our country through Arizona... Stare them down."
The group committed to evening sessions, with Winn pledging to join post-broadcast.
Wrapping Up: Upcoming Insights and Local Ties
Winn refuted Senator Mark Kelly's statements in an upcoming KVOA interview and teased Joseph Concha's Tucson visit next week via givebutter.com/concha, promising more on these pressing issues.
