One of China’s most successful and popular Olympians, two-time gold medalist swimmer Pan Zhanle, shut down his official fan page on the regime-controlled Weibo social media site this week, prompting loud applause from state media for taking a stand against “toxic fan culture.”
The state-run propaganda newspaper Global Times lamented on Tuesday that allowing fans of prominent personalities to maintain social groups and celebrate their favorites could lead to “excessive idol worship, irrational support, and even online violence.” The Times published multiple articles praising Pan for shutting down his Weibo fan page, indicating the Chinese government viewed his decision favorably.
The move comes in the context of the Communist Party essentially declaring war on what it calls “fan culture” – the elevation of celebrities in the public consciousness, which could potentially distract from obsessive worship of the Communist Party and, in particular, genocidal dictator Xi Jinping. The Chinese government, through its media arms, has for years railed against fan clubs for Korean pop stars, athletes, movie stars, and other non-political entities – creating a context that pressures famous Chinese people such as Pan to ensure that they do not become the target of such attention.
This war on fan culture never addresses the government’s fabricated cult of personality around Xi, fueled through the mandated study of “Xi Jinping Thought” in schools, government efforts to Christians to replace crosses in their homes with photos of Xi, and drowning out the memory of past Communist leaders, such as Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, with Xi Jinping propaganda at events marking historic dates. The hero worship of Xi promoted by the Communist Party is so pervasive that, in 2021, the Chinese car company SAIC debuted a vehicle equipped with an application that reads “Xi Jinping Thought” messages to passengers as they drive.
Pan, 20, became one of China’s most popular athletes at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics this month earning two gold medals, one by winning the men’s 100-meter freestyle race at world-record speed. Pan broke his own world record to win the race. China’s swimming performance at the Olympics was marred by controversy after months of reports in the New York Times revealed that nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers tested positive for banned substances but were allowed to compete in the 2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics – and several of those were allowed to return to Paris. Pan, who would have been 17 at the time of the Tokyo Olympics, was not named among the implicated athletes, but his world-record swim prompted widespread speculation among swimming professionals in the West that he came about his time unfairly.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
