Chinese leader Xi Jinping wants to strike a deal with the Trump administration, with Xi reportedly willing to pay a heavy price if he can win U.S. support for its unification with Taiwan, according to insider sources who talked to China observer and leading pro-democracy figure Yuan Hongbing.
Renowned Chinese dissident Yuan Hongbing, who maintains communications inside China’s top political circles, told The Epoch Times on Jan. 20 that Xi is plotting to achieve his goal of a so-called “peaceful reunification” with Taiwan.
Yuan’s sources are considered mainly to be divided into two groups: conscience-driven individuals from within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) system, who advocate for democracy and seek to overthrow the communist regime; and the “Red Second Generation,” who are descendants of high-ranking CCP officials or revolutionary leaders who oppose Xi’s personal dictatorship, including members of CCP elite families who have been persecuted by the regime and harbor deep hatred toward Xi.
The former Beijing University law professor living in Australia said that his intelligence on this topic has been corroborated independently by these two groups, which gives him some confidence in their insight to understand the specific plans that Xi plans to offer Trump.
Yuan’s conscience-driven source revealed that during an internal CCP meeting, Xi explained his plan to use the Taiwan issue as leverage in negotiations with Trump. Xi told officials that if they could resolve the Taiwan issue in line with the CCP’s interests, it would be a milestone marking the “rise of the East and the decline of the West.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
