Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping visited Hainan and Guangxi in the past two days, and Xinhua News Agency released a photo of him with a grave expression and gray hair, giving observers a hint of ominous feeling.
This ominous feeling seems to be reinforced by Xi Jinping’s relevant expressions. Xi Jinping went to Hainan to flag three warships and visited the Xiangjiang River Battle Memorial Park in Guangxi to convey the message of “preparing for war”, if three new ships were launched at the same time, pointing to Taiwan and Japan and the United States, more or less to show off their power, then Xi Jinping used the Xiangjiang River Battle in Guangxi, where the Red Army fled to fight the national army, to talk about the atmosphere is quite The atmosphere is a bit bizarre.
He said, “The Red Army is like returning from death, to die and live, to go forward, relying on the ideal belief”, it turns out that Xi Jinping to say the meaning of the following: “Why the Chinese revolution can succeed? The secret is that the revolutionary ideal is higher than the sky and perseveres in the most difficult times, so that it can continue to achieve miraculous victories”. It turns out that Xi Jinping was drawing on the past to say that in order to realize the 100-year dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, “If the difficulties are any greater, think of the Long March of the Red Army and the bloody battle of Xiangjiang River.”
The pro-Beijing Dovetail explained Xi’s moral that China will face the “most difficult period” from the United States and its allies, and Xi’s trip to Hainan and Guangxi seemed to give the answer to the situation, “First, to enhance its defense capability with the help of material strength, and second, to strengthen its determination to overcome difficulties with the help of spiritual strength determination.” But what era is this? While the plague is still raging, it is a time when the world aspires to peace and most regions have been living in peace for at least half a century, so why does Xi appear to be killing it on one side while saying he is facing the most difficult time?
One analysis suggests that Xi Jinping has been experiencing a strong sense of insecurity in recent years, and his insecurity-driven statements have a somewhat divisive character, such as when he refers to the United States as China’s most dangerous enemy on the one hand, while saying that “the East is rising and the West is falling” and that “opportunities are in me “. On the one hand, he celebrated the decisive victory against the epidemic in a comprehensive victory against poverty, while on the other hand, he warned the top officials of the Communist Party of China to be on the alert for unexpected events such as black swans and gray rhinoceroses. It seems that from the outbreak of the trade war with the United States, Xi’s words have been hovering between the lack of security and opportunities on my side. This time to Hainan Guangxi, Hainan launched three ships at the same time, three ships fierce, “worry about unforgettable”, bubbling a “most difficult moment”.
What is Xi saying, suggesting that there are enemies everywhere in and around China? Domestically, Xi Jinping seems to have his hands full, but he is also afraid of the dark side. Some say that the day Xi Jinping spoke in Guangxi was April 25, 1644, the 19th day of the 3rd lunar month, when Li Zicheng invaded Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen killed himself on the coal mountain, overthrowing the 300-year old Ming Dynasty. This is just an analysis. Does Xi Jinping have that sense of history?
Xi Jinping’s statement that China is facing the “most difficult time” is still puzzling. This is clearly the most rare period of peace and prosperity that mankind has encountered in recent times, so why does Xi Jinping feel that he is facing the most difficult time? One obvious fact is that during the nine years of Xi Jinping’s rule, China has made more and more enemies, not to mention the European and American countries, and its immediate neighbor in Asia, Japan, an ally of the United States, has lost patience with China’s aggressiveness and is now tit-for-tat from now on. How many neighboring countries are China’s friends in the South China Sea dispute? Vietnam is openly fighting and the Philippines is holding its breath. Not to mention with China to guard a mountain of population will soon exceed China’s India, at any time may be a sword fight. China has been reforming and opening up for decades, and should be increasingly in line with the mainstream of the world, but the last remaining friends are Russia, North Korea and Iran.
In the eyes of the world, Hong Kong has been turned into a world of terror by the Hong Kong version of the security law. Those who dare to speak out and challenge Beijing in the recent anti-China delivery demonstrations are all considered enemies of the state and are arrested, sentenced and fled. Two years ago, Xi Jinping had a dream of one country, two systems for Taiwan, but now he finds that Taiwan is moving further and further away, sending a large number of military planes into the Taiwan identification zone to threaten, and Taiwan has never sounded as tough as it does today in countering Beijing. Xi Jinping had threatened Tsai Ing-wen’s government that if it did not recognize the 1992 Consensus, “the earth would move and the mountains would shake”.
Beijing has denied the existence of large-scale concentration camps, but why did it refuse to open the site to the EU and UN missions? Wouldn’t that be the best opportunity to set the record straight? As a result, even the European Union, which has always adopted a moderate policy towards China, has turned completely around and sanctioned Beijing for the first time in 30 years since the June 4 incident. Polls in Europe, the United States and Japan show a growing antipathy towards China, whose image has never been as bad as it is today in forty years.
The Xi Jinping regime, which cannot mention values, democracy, or human rights, is no longer comparable to former Premier Wen Jiabao, who not long ago published an article remembering his mother, who could at least talk about universal values in the People’s Daily, or at least sternly attack attempts to revive the Cultural Revolution at a press conference of the National People’s Congress. In the Xi Jinping era, Wang Yi could ridicule “values diplomacy,” the outspoken jurist Xu Zhongrun was expelled from Tsinghua University, and the outspoken farmer-entrepreneur Sun Dawu was “executed by the whole family. The outstanding Chinese woman Zhao Ting’s “Land of the Unwanted” won the Oscar for directing, best film and best actress, and the Chinese media was silent.
I wonder if Xi Jinping is aware that the outside world is afraid of China and the people are afraid of their own rulers, and he wants everyone to share his dream of achieving a great and powerful nation. Even if China can one day realize his dream of a strong country, the world will be no different, but if China becomes a country that everyone hates, everyone fears, everyone dislikes, and the people of this country do not have the freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of association, freedom to oppose the government, what good will being strong bring to them?
Writer Su Xiaokang has said that China’s crisis is all in one person, and in 2018, Peking University professor Zheng Yefu already issued an open letter calling for “the decent exit of the Chinese Communist Party from the stage of history. Cai Xia, a former professor at the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China, pointed out that the party itself is already a political zombie controlled by one person, and it is best to change the person in order to prevent China from falling into a horrible chaos for several years. A change of person will not reform China’s political system overnight, but it will at least bring hope and a relatively relaxed environment for brewing reforms that could go a long way toward defusing the increasingly hostile situation between China and the world in recent years.
The photo of Xi Jinping’s stony expression has drawn a lot of attention, and some people who care about China’s future believe that the road is actually just around the corner, even though according to the Communist Party’s own party rules, party leaders change every two terms, and Xi Jinping was supposed to turn over the reins normally at the 20th Communist Party Congress next year.
