On January 28, the Politburo of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held its first meeting of the year, and on January 7, the Standing Committee of the CPC Politburo held its first meeting of 2021. The last meeting of the Politburo Standing Committee did not talk at all about the unconcealed Epidemic around China, and this Time the Politburo meeting only mentioned the phrase “coordinate and do a good job in the normalization of the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and management services”. “The meeting also suddenly proposed to supervise all levels of the epidemic. The meeting also suddenly proposed to supervise “a hand” at all levels.
On January 25, Li Keqiang held a forum to listen to suggestions on the “Government Work Report”, saying that “the government work report is a report to the people, and ultimately must be recognized by the people”. However, the actual situation is that all kinds of reports are only reported to the top of the CCP, not to the people; whether they can be approved or not is not decided by the people, but by the top of the CCP. What the CCP really cares about is only political power, and the people suffer from epidemics, floods, unemployment, and all kinds of injustice and persecution, which the CCP simply ignores.
Party media reported that the Politburo meeting gave full recognition to the work of the NPC, the State Council, the CPPCC, the party groups of the courts and the Procuratorate and the Central Secretariat in 2020, including the consideration of the Report on the Work of the Government, and agreed to the work arrangements for 2021, apparently not caring whether the people approve or not.
The report also said separately that “the Central Registry has done a lot of work under the leadership of the Central Political Bureau and the Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau …… in promoting the implementation of the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee …… and other aspects “.
Such a statement, and the January 7 Politburo Standing Committee meeting reported a large discrepancy. The meeting at that time heard reports from the party groups of the NPC, State Council, CPPCC, courts, procuratorates and the Central Secretariat, and constantly emphasized “safeguarding Xi Jinping‘s …… position as the core of the Party Central Committee and the core of the whole Party”. The report at that time also affirmed the work of the various aspects of the report, but finally singled out, “the Central Secretariat should take the lead …… to implement the deployment requirements of the Central Political Bureau and the Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau …… solidly complete the Party Central Committee The task entrusted to us”.
After three weeks, the Central Secretariat seems to have gone from being specifically named to being affirmed in some way, more like a political game at the top of the CCP.
On Jan. 22, after Xi Jinping’s speech at the plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the People’s Daily newspaper said in an in-depth interpretation, “Political corruption is the biggest corruption. Some corrupt elements have formed interest groups in a vain attempt to steal power from the party and the state and engage in unorganized activities”, which is “a struggle that cannot afford to lose and must not lose”, “Some speak in public to resolutely implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, but behind the scenes, they resist and go against the grain. The “new” is the first time that the “new” has been published.
The fact that Xi Jinping authorized the party media to publicly pierce the fierce internal strife is quite rare. The article also said that we should “focus on investigating and dealing with corruption cases where political and economic issues are intertwined, and promptly identify and remove these ‘two-faced’ ‘two-faced people’ to eliminate major political hazards. “The company’s main goal is to provide “strong political supervision”.
It seems that Xi Jinping has once again taken up the killer App of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the effect is immediate. The Central Secretariat under Wang Huning’s supervision should have secretly taken the initiative to repent and show loyalty, so the evaluation of the Central Secretariat seems to have changed somewhat. But Wang Huning actually did not really pass, this time the Politburo meeting reported, once again repeated the same words, “the Central Secretariat should take the lead in implementing the systems to safeguard the authority and centralized leadership of the Party Central Committee, conscientiously implement the deployment requirements of the Central Political Bureau and the Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau, and solidly complete the tasks assigned by the Party Central Committee “. It is evident that the internal struggle at the top of the CCP is in full swing, and the Central Secretariat under Wang Huning’s supervision is still the target of the struggle.
The CPC party media report also said that “the implementation of the main responsibility of the party committee (party group), the responsibility of the secretary as the first responsible person and the responsibility of the discipline inspection committee to supervise, and strengthen political supervision”, and that “the precise implementation of the requirements of political inspection” and “strengthening the supervision of The Chinese Communist Party‘s top-level supervision of the leadership team and the key minority, especially the ‘handful’.
This shows that the top echelon of the Communist Party of China is worried about power, and openly proposes to supervise “a handful of people” at all levels, seemingly not trusting anyone.
On January 26, the Chinese Communist Party media reported that Li Keqiang held a meeting of the State Council party group, attended by Han Zheng, Li Zhanshu held a meeting of the NPC party group, and Wang Yang held a meeting of the CPPCC party group to study Xi Jinping’s speech at the plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and to implement anti-corruption work. While emphasizing the struggle, the CCP party media tried to create an atmosphere to show that the CCP Politburo Standing Committee is all about upholding Xi Jinping’s central position.
The fact that the Politburo is suddenly overseeing “the handlers” at all levels indicates that the CCP has entered a new phase of infighting, and it may be interesting to see which “handlers” are the first to fall in the infighting.
