The National Conference of the Communist Party of China is being held in Beijing and will end in mid-March. In the run-up to the two sessions, the CCP has already made many plans to take action, in addition to targeting Hong Kong‘s patriots to rule Hong Kong and overturning the previous election system, and not to relax within the CCP.
Last month 28, the Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece reported that, according to the relevant provisions of the CPC Central Committee, in addition to members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the secretary of the Secretariat, members of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the State Council, the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the Supreme People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate party secretary, each year to the Party Central Committee and Xi Jinping written duties. This reporting arrangement clearly exceeds the relevant provisions adopted by the Politburo meeting in October 2017, which only required Politburo members and Standing Committee members to report annually to the Party Central Committee and the general secretary in writing.
Liu Ruishao, a senior commentator from Hong Kong familiar with Chinese affairs, believes that the special official release emphasizing this written reporting is clearly: “It will take one to two years to further consolidate Xi Jinping’s prestige after the 20th National Congress at the end of next year. This Time is very high-profile, it turns out that this is a matter of time, time, from now on to do, all of you not only the Politburo, the other 24 officials to Xi Jinping written debriefing.”
It is worth noting that this debriefing is not just a report on the work. Liu Ruishao said bluntly that the key is to show loyalty to Xi: “The first thought, the political Culture of the Communist Party, the focus is on political correctness there, that is, your thoughts inside there is no loyalty to Xi Jinping, you have not properly implemented the two maintenance, two maintenance said is to maintain the leadership of the Communist Party of China, unified leadership, the second is to maintain the core position of Xi Jinping. ” He refers to the year Mao Zedong also want everyone to take a political stand: “Have you found that generations of people, the leader sat down after a stable, many local officials have taken a stand, take a late stand, everyone will stare with their eyes, why do not you take a stand? Is the formation of an official pressure?” In addition, there is no military unit in the list announced this time, which he thinks is a strange phenomenon: “Does the head of the military not need to take a stand and pledge allegiance to Xi Jinping?”
Liu Ruishao believes that the so-called “written statements” may be used as a tool for struggle: “But if it comes to political struggle, these black and white content, can it become a tool to defeat you at any time? Because the power of interpretation does not lie with you, the power of interpretation lies with the person to whom you report. To such a situation, I think Xi Jinping if from the perspective of unity, he can maintain this surface tension, there is pressure, but do not pierce him. Because if you pierce him, it becomes a tool of struggle, creating its own internal problems.”
In addition, everyone is reporting to Xi Jinping, and Xi is reporting to whom? Liu Ruishao said: “When the Chinese Communist Party goes to control the political situation, it relies on two things. The first is the power of the top leader, which is not authority, but power. The second is to rely on the dictatorship machine, the military. As long as these two are combined, the others are just forms.” So now Xi Jinping said, “I report to the Politburo and to the Central Committee, and I report to them every year when they hold their plenary sessions.”
Liu Ruishao bluntly said it was just a formality, citing the example that “the file must be handed over to the office of the chairman of the military commission, where it was placed, so that Jiang Zemin, then chairman of the military commission, would review it. What is the role of this? This role is to tell you that your power is derived from me.”
