Mehdi Hasan DESTROYS Viral 'Predictive History' Prophet Professor Jiang!

In one of the most explosive and forensic cross-examinations in digital journalism, Mehdi Hasan sits down with viral internet sensation Xueqin Jiang—known to millions online as "Professor Jiang" and self-styled as "China's Nostradamus"—on Zeteo News. Jiang gained massive global traction on TikTok, YouTube, and X by using what he claimed was mathematical "game theory" and "predictive history" to forecast world events, including an unequivocal prediction that the United States would initiate a full-scale military invasion of Iran in July 2024. When that deadline passed with no invasion, Jiang shifted goalposts, doubled down, and propagated increasingly extreme geopolitical theories. In this relentless interview, Mehdi Hasan subjects Jiang's claims to uncompromising scrutiny. From dismantling his alleged predictive methodology to challenging his lack of academic professorship and exposing deeply problematic rhetoric, Mehdi exposes the dangerous chasm between viral internet doom-mongering and verified factual analysis.
