If memory serves, middle school geography class will know that the world’s best long-staple cotton production, in Egypt and Xinjiang. Egypt was a British colony, so it contributed to the development of the British textile industry and industrial revolution. Manchester is the center of the British textile industry.
Xinjiang and mainland China’s northern region are cotton production, but according to the People’s Daily, Xinjiang cotton accounts for 87% of mainland China’s production, accounting for 67% of domestic consumption; of course, there are also a large number of exports. Obviously, the proportion of Xinjiang production has increased significantly, because it is no longer individual farmers, but large-scale operation of farms, in addition to production and construction corps, there are forms of forced labor.
So the Western boycott of Xinjiang cotton, the economy of mainland China has dealt a heavy blow, triggering the Chinese Communist Party‘s roar. Although the People’s Daily advocates can internal consumption, however, the Chinese Communist Party needs more than the foreign exchange necessary for foreign expansion?
To the tight control of the Chinese Communist Party on the Internet, if not authorized by the top, because of the boycott of Xinjiang cotton and launched a boycott of foreign brands “Internet campaign” is impossible to happen, and to force all relevant organizations and brand spokesman to take a stand. The highest level of the top is Xi Jinping alone.
This is a common tactic used by the Chinese Communist Party for repeated internal party disputes and external nationalist agitation. Xi Jinping staged the Diaoyutai incident before he came to power in 2012, and now he is fighting for a third term in office next year.
In the past, when there was a mass nationalist hysteria, all political forces participated in the contest with the posture of “preferring the left to the right”, with higher and higher tones and louder and louder voices, in order to gain orthodox patriotic status within the party. Whoever comes out against it, inevitably may wear the unforgivable charge of “traitor” and “traitor”.
However, this Time it is a bit strange that while the Pinky’s campaign is still in full swing, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang suddenly visited BASF, a Sino-German joint venture chemical plant in Nanjing that provides raw materials for brands such as Nike and Adidas, which is the target of many people’s attention.
Although some think this is the usual “two hands of revolution”, one singing the black face and the other the white face, it may also be the reason to end this farce. But there is no denying that Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang have long-standing policy differences, and that Li’s move is “counter-trendy” in nature.
Xi Jinping is focused on his personal power, while Li Keqiang, as premier, has to consider the impact on economic development. After the U.S.-China meeting in Alaska, the Chinese Communist Party will go to war with international brand names, which will only accelerate the withdrawal of foreign companies from China, so how will Li ensure GDP growth and how will he avoid a spike in unemployment?
Many Chinese, are eating the rice of foreigners, including in this BASF, do mainland Chinese want to smash their own rice bowls? While Xi Jinping can squander his money, ordinary mainland Chinese depend on these salaries to maintain their basic living.
If someone takes the lead in robbing a store, the pinkie who goes in to rob it is guaranteed to grab the foreign brand first and take it Home to enjoy, just like when the Red Guards went to raid homes.
Li Keqiang’s move must be supported by the same people in the State Council and even local fiefdoms, because once the economic losses are caused, the local government also has to bear. Li Keqiang chose Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, one of the provinces that resisted the central government’s policy during the Gengzi Rebellion and the invasion of Beijing by the Eight-Power Allied Forces. Is this a call to arms to Xi Jinping?
It is customary for the Central Political Bureau to meet at the end of each month to “learn”. The two-day meeting will be a chance for Xi Jinping to criticize Li Keqiang and add a charge of “splitting the Party Central Committee”, as Deng Xiaoping did with Zhao Ziyang, or to cool down the cotton in Xinjiang, or to pretend that nothing has happened?
Xi Jinping is “fake dumb and dumber” (Shanghai), not liquidating Li Keqiang, is also his setback. In fact, when the pinkies were rampant on the Internet, all kinds of murmurs and negative boycotts also happened. This means that Xi Jinping’s throne has seeped. He went to Fujian to perform a “leisurely stroll”, but the result may be “or a fish and turtle”.
