As the Epstein scandal continues to unravel in 2026, CCTV journalist Wang Guan has ignited global debate with his sharp critique of Western power structures. 🔥 "When will the self-appointed moral judges of the world clean their own house?" he asked during a viral segment this week.
🗂️ The Files Everyone’s Talking About
Newly released documents reveal what critics call a "hierarchy of impunity" – powerful figures shielded by redactions while victims’ identities circulate freely. Banks kept Epstein as a "high-risk" client for years, universities accepted his donations, and lawmakers now use the scandal as political ammunition. 🎯
🌐 The Irony of Selective Justice
Wang highlighted the contrast between Western rhetoric and reality: "For decades, these institutions lectured the Global South about transparency. Now we see prosecutors making secret deals and ‘transparency’ used as a buzzword for partisan theater." His commentary comes as trust in Western-led international institutions hits record lows among young people worldwide.
📈 Why It Matters Now
This year’s developments have made the Epstein case a litmus test for:
- ⚖️ Accountability in democratic systems
- 💸 Corporate complicity in criminal networks
- 🌍 Global perceptions of Western leadership
As Wang bluntly stated: "Moral authority isn’t inherited – it’s earned through consistent action." The ball is now in the West’s court. 🎾
