The U.S. media said that Xi Jinping can not do not campaign, tossing is Xi a way to protect himself, but also a means of his rule.
Xi Jinping visits Guizhou, which was “out of poverty” a year ago
On Feb. 3, Xi Jinping visited Guizhou province. In the afternoon of the same day, Xi Jinping inspected the village of Huya in Xinren Miao Township, Qianxi County, Bijie City, where he watched handmade Miao embroidery clothing and special trinkets in a “poverty alleviation workshop”. He said he must promote Miao embroidery and “contribute to poverty alleviation and rural revitalization”.
On Feb. 4, Xi also visited the Guiyang Guanshan Lake District of Guizhou City to see the market supply, New Year’s supply and sale, and price operation before the Chinese New Year.
Since taking power at the 18th Communist Party Congress, Xi Jinping has made annual visits to the grassroots level on the eve of the Chinese New Year, visiting Yunnan, Beijing, Sichuan, Hebei, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Gansu.
In the context of the Communist Party’s announcement to “complete the task of poverty eradication” by 2020, Xi’s choice of Guizhou as the location for his New Year’s Eve visit has attracted much attention from the outside world.
On Nov. 23, 2020, the provincial government of Guizhou announced that the last nine counties in the province would be removed from the list of poverty-stricken counties.
CCTV, the mouthpiece of the Communist Party, reported that this was the last group of counties in China to be removed from the list of poor counties, marking the completion of the goal of “eradicating poverty across the country by 2020.
The CCP’s campaign-style poverty eradication is questioned.
However, the CCP’s campaign-style “poverty eradication” has been criticized by the outside world, which considers the authorities’ “poverty eradication” as “fake poverty eradication” and “literal poverty eradication”. “The situation of the genuinely poor people, who are deprived of assistance, has worsened. Even the top echelons of the Communist Party of China (CPC) have criticized the authorities’ “poverty eradication”.
On November 25, 2020, the State Council’s Poverty Alleviation Office, under Li Keqiang’s supervision, said that the complete removal of poverty in poor counties does not mean the full removal of poverty, and that it is up to the central government to decide whether to remove poverty or not.
Li Keqiang told reporters after the two sessions in May 2020 that “600 million people in China have an average monthly income of about 1,000 yuan.
The Voice of America reported on February 2, 2021 that since Xi Jinping took office, he has engaged in campaign-style governance, such as the so-called “toilet revolution,” including the expulsion of low-end population, the overhaul of the city skyline, the unification of store signs, and the conversion of coal to natural gas, all of which have been costly and ineffective.
The newspaper quoted independent columnist Gobi Dong as saying that it is the nature of the Chinese Communist Party system that acts like the “toilet revolution” and the expulsion of the low-end population have been implemented and become widespread in China.
Gobi Dong: Two Reasons for Xi Jinping’s Tossing and Turning
It is impossible for Xi Jinping not to fold, and he is not in a position not to fold, Gobiton said. “The reason is that he doesn’t know how to do it if he doesn’t make a comeback. This system of the Chinese Communist Party has already been formed, this mode of operation has already been formed.”
Gobbledon pointed out that when Mao was in power, he engaged in various movements. Mao started the Cultural Revolution to keep his power and to cover up the failure of his Great Leap Forward. So it is impossible for Xi Jinping to let go without tossing and turning. Secondly, he can’t stop tossing and turning.
He said, “The Communist Party is an authoritarian system that has to be maintained, and all its patterns have been formed. It is like a high-speed train that keeps moving, and it forms a risk if it suddenly stops instead.”
According to Gobbledon, Xi’s tossing and turning is actually a method of self-preservation and a means of his rule.
He said, “The infighting within the Communist Party is actually very intense now. The infighting didn’t start now, it’s been consistent throughout history, and the power struggle is very powerful within the CCP. One of the best ways to stand out in the power struggle is through a large number of campaigns. Through a lot of campaigns, through a variety of models, through a variety of high-handed, a variety of authoritative ways to get underneath to calm, to understand, to obey.”
