On March 30, the Communist Party’s Political Bureau held a meeting with only three paragraphs of coverage in the party media, mentioning only the consideration of the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Central Region in the New Era”. Rather unusually, this Time there was no coverage of Xi Jinping‘s important speech.
The CCP top brass is facing another round of international vicious circle of its own making, and it is difficult to avoid the meeting of the CCP Politburo, which is not reported by the CCP party media at all. At the same time, the tone of the CCP’s incitement to boycott foreign companies has begun to lower, and the rhetoric of the CCP’s Foreign Ministry toward the United States has begun to moderate. In order to cover up the dilemma of foreign missteps, the CCP party media began to serve up red history propaganda again, but the CCP’s red dynasty is facing an unprecedented decline, and it seems that the red gene can no longer sustain the Life of the CCP.
No mention of international situation in Politburo meeting reports
It is hard to imagine that the Politburo meeting, which basically takes place once a month, is only to consider a “guiding opinion on promoting the high-quality development of the central region in the new era”. According to the report, “The central region is of global significance in undertaking the east and west, connecting the south and the north …… to promote the high-quality development of the central region.”
Such regional plans made up by the CCP are basically loud thunder but little rain, ignoring the laws of market economy, following the model of planned economy, and mainly by CCP leaders patting their heads and shouting slogans, with little practical effect. In the past, the top echelons of the Communist Party also proposed regional plans for Hainan Free Trade Zone, Shanghai Free Trade Zone, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and even the revitalization of the Northeast, the development of the Great Northwest, the Great Southwest, and other flashy goals. Now the so-called central region development plan is destined to be a product of a tiger’s head and a snake’s tail. What’s more, this central planning is more used to cover up the real core topic of the Politburo, not the real issue, and the final fate can be imagined.
Every member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China knows very well that if they cannot maintain normal relations with the United States, Europe and other developed countries, the so-called “internal circulation”, “high-quality development” and “scientific and technological innovation” of the Communist Party of China are all word games. ” are all word games. Recently, however, the top echelon of the CCP has been acting as if it has lost its mind, constantly posturing as a War Wolf and retaliating against various countries, which can only worsen international relations. It is unlikely that all within the CCP’s Politburo approve of such practices, which will inevitably lead to in-depth discussions, debates, and possibly a disguised posture of recrimination.
The key elements of the debate within the CCP, which traditionally do not want to be seen by the outside world, were rightly passed over as “other matters. However, Xinhua’s report of a Politburo meeting to discuss a central region plan, without Xi’s speech, gives a hint of the real topic of the Politburo meeting. The lowering of nationalist propaganda in the CCP media and the lowering of the tone of the CCP Foreign Ministry toward the United States may reveal some signals.
The Chinese Communist Party begins to lower its tone to the outside world
Stories like H&M and Nike largely disappeared from the CCP party media on March 30, as if nothing had happened. At a press conference at the CCP Foreign Ministry that day, a Bloomberg reporter asked: In the past two days, public anger against H&M in China seems to have lessened, is this because the Chinese government has decided to moderate its criticism of the companies involved?
Spokeswoman Hua Chunying said, “People expressing their anger online over a certain matter, including the anger over H&M’s involvement in the Xinjiang cotton issue, think it is at the request of the Chinese government”, which is “a serious misunderstanding and prejudice”.
At a March 25 press conference at the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Hua Chunying made a high-profile statement that she “would not allow foreigners to eat China’s Food while smashing China’s bowls,” and five days later, she falsely claimed that she had nothing to do with the Chinese regime. Her performance at that time was clearly too much and should have been stopped by the top echelon of the CCP.
At a press conference on March 30, an AFP reporter asked: A Foreign Ministry spokesman tweeted last year that the U.S. military may have brought the outbreak to Wuhan. But we understand that the report of the WHO mission to China to be released today does not mention the possibility of this claim. Does China still believe that the U.S. military may have brought the Epidemic to Wuhan?
Hua Chunying said, “Last year a colleague of mine published a tweet on his personal account, and I noticed that some people from Western countries keep dwelling or dwelling on this issue, and I think that’s quite unnecessary.”
This amounts to a retraction by the Chinese Communist Party to dump on the U.S. military, just not to apologize. This is a completely different attitude than the CCP’s March 27 announcement of retaliatory sanctions against the United States. The Xinhua report at the time concluded by suggesting that “the parties concerned should recognize the situation and correct their mistakes” or “they will surely play with fire and burn themselves.”
The Chinese Communist Party now realizes that the fire is burning on itself and is rushing to put it out.
On March 30, Xinhua News Agency reported, “China-WHO Joint Study on the Traceability of New Coronavirus: Introduction of New Coronavirus into Humans through Laboratory is ‘Extremely Unlikely’. The content was one sentence, just like the headline. While U.S. government officials and lawmakers are questioning the report, the Chinese Communist Party’s media rarely blames the U.S., and there is a huge difference in attitude from the high-profile release of the U.S. human rights report a few days ago.
The sudden downgrading of the tone by the CCP’s Party media and the CCP’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is naturally at the behest of the CCP’s top brass, and it should not be difficult to guess what kind of discussion might have taken place at the CCP’s Politburo meeting. After pretending to be tough, the CCP top brass had to back off, which is really an internal and external misstep and a failure to move forward and backward.
Is it really easy to put out the fire?
The signs so far are that the top brass has been forced to put out the fire after blindly lighting it, but is it really that easy?
It is unlikely that the Communist Party will withdraw its sanctions against the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada, and it should not be possible to expect all of these governments to remain indifferent. Nor should the CCP’s recent abusive diplomatic language and propaganda be enough to make the political establishment laugh. It is certainly not possible for the CCP to apologize, and it is only by lowering its tone that it wants to break the international deadlock; it is only the CCP’s own logic that it wants international brands to forget that they have been deliberately defamed by the CCP by stopping name-calling for the time being.
It is not easy to put out the fire lit by the CCP, and I am afraid that even the internal politburo of the CCP cannot account for it. On March 30, the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) passed the so-called “Amendments to Annexes I and II of the Basic Law”, which will turn Hong Kong‘s Legislative Council into a branch of the CPC National People’s Congress and a rubber-stamp legislature composed of CPC agents, blatantly destroying Hong Kong’s original Legislative Council This is a blatant destruction of the original electoral system of Hong Kong.
How can the CCP de-escalate relations with Western countries when it can’t wait to stain Hong Kong red and expand its ideological war with them? After the nationalist propaganda of Xinjiang cotton, the CCP is creating another international spotlight.
On March 30, Xinhua reported “Red resources, Xi Jinping attaches great importance”, again talking about Party history and saying that it “should remember where the red regime came from” and “pass on the red gene. to pass on the red gene”.
The CCP’s fantasy of spreading the “red gene” from Hong Kong to Taiwan, Asia, Europe, the United States and the rest of the world has predetermined the pattern of confrontation between the CCP and the international community. This time, the U.S. and Western countries should take a good look at the real face of the CCP, which is actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and should not fall for the CCP’s trick again, let alone let the CCP get away with concealing the epidemic, otherwise, a bigger disaster will come again.
