[The Epoch Times, 26 settembre 2022](Full report by Xu Yiyang, Epoch Times Special Department reporter) Did airports across China recently cancel large-scale domestic flights, prompting public questioning and speculation about what happened in China?WindsIt is getting closer and closer, coupled with the fact that large-scale flights were canceled when major events took place at the top of the Chinese Communist Party. Analysts believe that the repetition of this scene now leads the international community to pay close attention to the real situation of the unrest at the top of the Chinese Communist Party on the eve of the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party.
On the evening of September 21, screenshots of large-scale cancellations of flights at airports across the country circulated on the Chinese Internet. Many netizens have wondered, what happened to the large-scale cancellation of flights in various cities?
The data shows that at 10:35 pm on September 21st theflight cancellationThere were 9,583 sorties, with a cancellation rate of 59.66%.
The canceled flights were not only in busy air hubs like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, but also extended to three airports in China’s western provinces, whoseflight cancellationThe highest fares are: Longdongbao airport in Guiyang city, Guizhou province, canceled 539 flights, with a 99% cancellation rate; Tibet Lhasa Gonggar Airport canceled 157 flights, with a 98% cancellation rate; Chengdu Tianfu Airport in Sichuan Province canceled 752 flights, with a cancellation rate of 98% 87%.

Chinese officials did not provide an explanation for the widespread cancellation of flights. Chinese news sites say the high rate of flight cancellations has been the norm since the outbreak of the coronavirus.
On September 21, the CCP held a seminar on defense and military reform in Beijing. Xi Jinping, the top leader of the Communist Party of China and chairman of the Central Military Commission, said at the meeting that the military should “focus on preparing for war.” According to a video released by CCTV, spokesman for the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping did not attend the meeting, but made the above request.
Chen Pokong, a Chinese-American political commentator, believes that the reason for most flight cancellations is not the epidemic. Chen Pokong said in his auto-media program on Sept. 24 that the CCPWindsIt is approaching and before the 18th and 19th National Congresses of the Communist Party of China there were large-scale flight cancellations, but this time there may also be political struggles.
Flights from Shenzhen to many places have been canceled
On March 5, 2020, there were media reports in China that the flight from Shenzhen to Hangzhou, Zhejiang, was canceled and the airline’s reason was “public security reasons”.
In addition to the flight to Hangzhou, flights from Shenzhen to Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Jiangsu and other cities that night were all reported as canceled. In addition, several flights from Guangzhou to Hangzhou were also canceled that night.
At the time, a video on the Chinese Internet showed that a military plane crashed in the Wuqing district of Tianjin on March 5. Since Tianjin is adjacent to Beijing, the matter has sparked a lot of speculation. Netizens linked the incident to the flight cancellation incident and analyzed that there may be “an important official who fled and was shot down” and called it “Lin BiaoThe event repeats itself “.
to catchZhou Yongkang 12 Chinese airports banned from flying
At the end of July 2014, there was a news on the Chinese Internet that from July 20 to August 15, 12 airports in eastern and central China will have large-scale delays for 26 days.
A CCP civil aviation insider later confirmed to the official CCP media “Beijing News” that the online news is basically true, but it is inconvenient to disclose the specific reason and time. The main flights affected are the east and coastal directions. southeast. Flights to the Southwest, Northwest and West regions are not affected.
At the time, the number of canceled flights and the long period of time aroused worried both nationally and internationally.
The Chinese Civil Aviation Administration said on July 24, 2014 that the flight delay or temporary cancellation was due to a combination of factors such as thunderstorms and routine military exercises. The Civil Aviation Administration has also suspended applications for temporary flight plans such as business jets, overtime and charter flights at the affected airports.
Prior to July 14, Shanghai also suffered abnormal aircraft delays. There is news on Weibo that there is significant military activity in eastern China (Shanghai) from 10:00 to 16:00 that day, and a warning has been issued. Traffic capacity is expected to decrease by 75% during the event, which is a red warning. The Air Traffic Network, which is managed by the Civil Aviation Authority’s Air Traffic Management Bureau, confirmed the news of the busy airspace in the area, but did not explain why.
Some of the airline’s staff told Chinese media that the air control was due to military exercises.
However, the CCP authorities notified on July 29, 2014 that the former Politburo Standing Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the CCPZhou Yongkanghas been revised. On December 6 of the same year, Zhou Yongkang was announced to be expelled from the party and brought to justice. In June 2015, Zhou Yongkang was sentenced to life in prison for taking bribes, abusing his power and deliberately divulging state secrets. Zhou Yongkang was the highest-ranking official to be fired after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Hong Kong media “Ming Pao” ran an article in January of the following year, claiming that the 12 airports were banned simultaneously to capture the “big tiger” Zhou Yongkang who was trying to escape. Zhou Yongkang has mastered the CCP’s politics, law, and public safety for many years and has many stooges. This is a condition other “tigers” do not have, and there is a great chance of successfully escaping.
The Epoch Times previously reported that Zhou Yongkang was fired because he and Bo Xilai planned a coup attempt to seize power from Xi Jinping. The coup plan was led by former Chinese Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin and the mastermind of Zeng Qinghong, a former Politburo Standing Committee member, and Jiang’s faction had been planning it for a long time. However, it completely collapsed when Wang Lijun, the then director of the Chongqing Public Security Bureau, fled the US consulate.
Lin BiaoZhou Enlai on the run has banned flights from airports across the country
Times commentator Chen Pokong also said the flight change in China was like Lin Biao crashed when he was forced to defect to the Soviet Union. “Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai designed it to force Lin Biao to walk away,” he said. “At the time, the lights and airports across the country were off, so Lin Biao’s plane had nowhere to land and had to fly north, so this story remains a mystery.”
On September 13, 1971, Lin Biao, the successor of Mao Zedong, who was determined by the CCP constitution, was killed by Wendur Khan in Mongolia, which became an important event in contemporary Chinese politics that shocked the world. Lin Biao, his wife Ye Qun and son Lin Liguo were killed and their daughter Lin Liheng did not board the plane.
The Epoch Times reported that around 6:00 pm on September 12, Pan Jingyin, the pilot who led Lin Biao on the run, was ordered to travel to Beidaihe. Around 9:50 pm, Lin Liheng reported to the Chinese Communist Party Central Guard Corps, saying that Ye Qun and Lin Liguo would force Lin Biao to leave and asked Premier Zhou Enlai to stop them from boarding the plane. Zhou agreed. and immediately reported to Mao.
According to the book “Report on Tracking Past Events in Beidaihe” published by the CCP, Zhou Enlai advised Mao Zedong to order a nationwide flight ban and army troops stationed at airports in the name of preventing Soviet attacks and of air landings, by establishing obstacles to prevent the take-off of all planes.
At 2:27 am on September 13, the plane crashed in Mongolia, killing the three members of the Lin family in the wilderness. The CCP only announced Lin Biao’s death on October 24th, more than a month after his death.
Why Lin Biao fled, the CCP official and the people have completely different opinions. The main opinion of people at home and abroad is that the Lin Biao case was an unfair case, and it was Mao Zedong who first wanted to take down Lin Biao, and Lin Biao was forced into the corner before passively escaping under the coercion of his wife and child. His flight was a political exile, not an active betrayal.
The CCP official did not release historical materials from that year, and Lin Biao’s death is still a mystery that cannot be solved.
