The recent attacks on Apple Daily by the Hong Kong police chief and the party media have been one after another, with the department’s power and the barrel of the gun plus the pencil pinned down, causing a chilling effect in the press. However, the purge of public opinion is not only happening in Hong Kong, but also in China, which has always had strict control over the Internet, Party history, textbooks, libraries, film and television, and other regulations have been upgraded. Why is the Chinese Communist Party in such a state of anxiety before celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding on July 1? Is it because the Qin army “thought the king’s army had arrived” more than 1,600 years ago?
Wen Jiabao’s article is becoming more popular as it is harmonized
The purge of Radio Television Hong Kong and the attack on Apple Daily are the masterpieces of the Chinese Communist Party of Hong Kong to continue to build up the prestige of the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law, which is also a hasty way to purge public opinion before 7.1. The Chinese Communist Party, which has always been proud of itself, wants to celebrate its 100th birthday in style and take this opportunity to consolidate the “popular” base and international image of Xi Jinping’s re-election as General Secretary. The purification of the Internet and media is the most urgent task to sing praises for the new era, while the rewriting of Party history and textbooks is the long-term plan for ideological construction (brainwashing), which is being carried out simultaneously in China and Hong Kong.
Surprisingly, Wen Jiabao in the “Macau Herald” published four consecutive “my mother”, Netease, cell phone Phoenix and other websites have been reproduced, but yesterday the relevant web page appeared “page lost”, “page does not exist” of The webpage yesterday showed a “404” prompt, and WeChat and Weibo also prohibited sharing. It is a law of the Chinese Internet that the more harmonized an article is, the more popular it is. Wen Jiabao’s article, which was published from March 25 to April 15, was originally not a sensation, but once it was harmonized, it was widely circulated on the Internet at home and abroad, and readers scrambled to dissect the “cause of death”.
The universal values that Wen Jiabao had publicly endorsed several times during his premiership have been abandoned by the Chinese Communist Party, but he seems to remember his old feelings, reiterating in his final chapter in memory of his loving mother: “The China I have in mind should be a country full of fairness and justice, where there will always be respect for the human heart, humanity and the essence of man, where there will always be youth, freedom and struggle. ” Without directly singing the praises of the new era China has reached such a state, being picked on and even exaggerated as dissatisfaction with reality, which seems justified in the climate of purging public opinion.
In his article, Wen also quoted two letters from his mother to him, talking about the way to be an official, one is to pass on, people and, “a lonely tree can hardly become a forest”, and the second is to be re-elected, hoping that he and everyone in the same boat, “smoothly and steadily through five years of difficulties. The reader will inevitably compare Wen Jiabao’s actions and status with that of the current Premier Li Keqiang, and see it as an admonition to Xi Jinping. The man who sat in the second chair of the fourth generation of the CCP leadership is now silenced. In comparison, what is so great about RTHK and “Apple” being purged? “Come and eat.”
Centennial Kuomintang had raised the flag of national revival
In fact, China’s network harmony Wen Jiabao article, highlighting the authorities are nervous, forgetting the promised “four self-confidence” (road, theory, system, cultural confidence). The Book of Jin – Xie Xuan Biography records, “Hearing the sound of the wind and the crane, all thought that the king’s division had arrived.” The story is about the Battle of Interwar in 383, when Xie Xuan led the Jin army to defeat the Qin army by a large margin. Now that the Chinese Communist Party is preparing to celebrate its centennial birthday, and it is making a great deal of noise about the diplomacy of the war wolves to cleanse the shame of two centuries, claiming that the Western siege cannot stop the revival of the Chinese nation, why is it not like the Jin army but like the Qin army, fearing the king’s army like this?
The centennial celebration of the Chinese Nationalist Party was held in Taiwan on November 24, 1994, and then party chairman Lee Teng-hui emphasized in his speech that “our party is charged with the sacred duty of revitalizing the Chinese nation” and therefore “the entire party must be guided by the the firm practice of the ‘sovereignty of the people’ principle, and to win the support of the broadest number of people in the healthy competition of party politics.” Sixteen months later, on March 23, 1996, Taiwan celebrated its first-ever direct presidential election.
The centennial Chinese Communist Party is also raising the banner of national rejuvenation. Will it go the same way again as the KMT in the centennial when it speaks in the same language? The future is not clear. What we can see now is that the quasi-party ban and the quasi-press ban in China and Hong Kong are following the same path as the KMT’s continued mobilization for counter-insurgency in Taiwan, which is also a cause for alarm.
