from Winn Tucson Hosted by Kathleen Winn

Guests - Dave Smith, Juan Ciscomani, Ava Chen Host Kathleen Winn opened the broadcast by shifting the usual China Watch Wednesday schedule to accommodate guests and pressing local issues dominating Pima County. Dave Smith joined Winn to recap two dramatic public meetings held the previous day: one at the Pima County Board of Supervisors and another at the Marana Town Council. Congressman Juan Ciscomani (CD6) joined the program fresh off receiving an endorsement from Turning Point USA. He described his district as one-third Republican, one-third Democrat, one-third independent—making it the nation's most competitive congressional seat after recent redistricting. Ava Chen, representing the New Federal State of China, analyzed Xi Jinping's recent purge of top PLA leadership—including childhood friend General Zhang Youxia (former procurement chief) and the joint staff/intelligence director.
