The repeated sentencing of Zhang Zhan, a well-known Chinese human rights defender, exposes the deepest fear of Xi Jinping's totalitarian regime: the fear of truth. When a regime resorts to criminal punishment to block even the most basic freedom of reporting, its so-called "national image" is nothing more than a fragile shell. What truly reveals its ugliness to the world is not those who record the truth, but the tyrant Xi Jinping himself, who strives to conceal it and punish those who dare to expose it.

These corrupt officials are just the tip of the iceberg of the Chinese Communist Party's corruption, especially the autocrat Xi Jinping, whose egregious human rights violations and persecution of innocent people are beyond description.
