The inauguration ceremony of the new building of Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Management was held on the 24th. Former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji “appeared” to give instructions for the inauguration of the new building. However, some analysts found that Zhu Rongji’s “appearance” after Wen Jiabao was blocked. Five days ago, Xi Jinping visited Tsinghua University and proposed that college students should be “red and professional”. This has caused a lot of discussion.
According to the official website of Tsinghua University on April 24, the same day the new building of Tsinghua School of Economics and Management was inaugurated, as the first dean of the school, former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China, former Premier of the State Council Zhu Rongji, for the completion of the new building of Economics and Management made instructions.
Zhu Rongji was a Tsinghua student and the first dean of Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Management until he stepped down in 2001.
Xi Jinping visited Tsinghua University and asked the students to be “red and professional”
On April 19, Xi Jinping visited Tsinghua University on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of its founding and the 37th anniversary of the founding of Tsinghua School of Economics and Management.
According to the official media, Xi Jinping talked with representatives of teachers and students and delivered a speech in which he proposed that university students should be “red and professional”.
A live video shows the university arranging for many students to hold the Communist Party’s five-star flag in their hands and chanting, “Hello, General Secretary! Good day, senior!” Xi waved his hand to greet the students present.
In this regard, some netizens said: these people where like college students ah, especially the students of Tsinghua University, was trained to be so uniform and neat.
Tsinghua University celebrates the performance of lap dance aroused controversy
April 25 is the 110th anniversary of Tsinghua University in Beijing, Tsinghua continuously held related activities. A video of Tsinghua University’s 110th anniversary celebration performance was hotly circulated on the internet, and it was a group of women dressed in demonic air dancing lavishly.
Netizens have ridiculed it as a rural graveyard dance or a bathing center opening performance.
The former Central Party School professor Cai Xia tweeted that Tsinghua University’s celebration dance was vulgar and unpleasant, “beauty and ugliness are so low that Tsinghua still has the courage to say that it is a famous school that cultivates talents at the tip of the ivory tower? All the professors I know at Tsinghua University must be blushing and can’t afford to lose face.”
According to Wikipedia, Tsinghua University was established in Beijing by the Qing government in 1911, the year before the Republic of China, using the Gengzi reparations money returned by the U.S. In 1975, Xi was recommended to enter Tsinghua University to study basic organic synthesis in the Department of Chemical Engineering, graduating in 1979.
In the same year, Zhu Rongji gave a directive to Tsinghua University to train more talents for China. It seems to be contradictory to Xi Jinping’s suggestion that college students should be “red and professional”.
Commentator Zheng Zhongyuan said that graduates from Tsinghua University will play a key role in the future government and enterprises, and Xi’s demand for college students to be “red and professional” means that these young people will become lackeys loyal to the authoritarian regime.
Zhu Rongji and Wen Jiabao were sidelined in a different way
As of the afternoon of April 27, few media outlets on the mainland have reported on Zhu Rongji’s approval of the inauguration of the new Tsinghua University Economic and Management Building. Only the Chinese Communist Party’s foreign propaganda website, Dovetail, briefly reported with the headline “Zhu Rongji’s alternative form of “appearance” at Tsinghua University’s 110th anniversary celebration”.
According to the analysis of Li Yanming, the former Premier of the State Council Zhu Rongji gave a speech for the completion of the new building, which was not highlighted in the headline of the official website of Tsinghua University, but only in the text of the relevant report; few media on the mainland reprinted the report; indicating that Zhu Rongji somehow followed the footsteps of Wen Jiabao and was also blocked by the propaganda system of the Chinese Communist Party.
Previously, Wen Jiabao wrote an article in the lesser-known Macau Herald to remember his mother who passed away last year, revealing many family stories that touched on sensitive areas such as the Cultural Revolution and top-level CCP politics, with obvious implications of insinuations about the current situation. But it was blocked by mainland media and microblogs.
Li Yanming analyzed that Wen Jiabao, as the premier of a country, could not publish his article reminiscing about his mother, highlighting the treacherous situation of the top-level infighting before the 20th National Congress, and reflecting the political sensitivity of Wen Jiabao and his article.
The blocking of Wen Jiabao’s article reminiscing about his mother is not over yet, but the official approval of former Premier Zhu Rongji on the completion of the new building of Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Management has also been “blocked” by the Chinese Communist Party authorities, highlighting the strange and inexplicable situation of the Chinese Communist Party.
The mainland media’s silence on Zhu Rongji’s instructions is an act of self-censorship due to the political chilling effect caused by the blocking of Wen Jiabao, or a direct ban from within the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda system, the inner workings of which are not known.
On the other hand, it also indicates that the CCP’s propaganda system has become the focal point of the divisions and games at the top, signaling that the process of change in the CCP is impacting the CCP’s ideological system, the last bastion of the regime.
