The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held a “democratic life meeting” on December 24-25 to “conduct self-examination” and “carry out criticism and self-criticism,” but this meeting was held by General Secretary Xi Jinping “listened” to the “mutual criticism” and “self-criticism” of the Politburo members, and asked the Politburo to take the lead in learning Xi’s thoughts. Hu Ping, editor-in-chief of Beijing Spring, described it as “me criticizing, you criticizing yourselves.
According to the report of the meeting, Xi Jinping was at the top, while the other “comrades of the Central Politburo spoke one by one and conducted a cross-check as required. What to check? The core thrust remains whether the loyalty to Xi, whether “take the lead in studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era”, whether to achieve the “two safeguards”, two safeguards, briefly, is to safeguard “Xi The core”.
The next seminar on the achievements of the core, Xi Jinping presided over the meeting: the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, led the people of China “to overcome unprecedented risks and challenges”, including “the sudden arrival of the new epidemic, floods in many places, economic development was impacted, the external environment is high and stormy”, “at this critical time when the mountain is overwhelming”, “in this very unusual year to create a very unusual glory”.
It is rare for the authorities to describe the challenges encountered by the Xi Jinping administration in 2020 as “a tarzan crushing the top of the mountain,” revealing, at least to some extent, the precarious situation faced by the Xi administration after its blunders in dealing with some major issues, including the New Crown epidemic, the Hong Kong incident, and even the floods in the south, etc. The subsequent use of “glorious” victory is considered by commentators to be “too wild,” as many things are far from over, with the New Crown still raging around the world, the consequences of Hong Kong emerging one by one, the floods returning almost every year, and economic development being slow to talk about, Xi Jinping summed up his victory too early.
The most significant event in China this year was the Wuhan outbreak and the resulting global pandemic. Beijing’s early response to the epidemic was criticized by the international community for being opaque, concealing the truth, preventing the investigation of the source of the New Guinea virus, and causing significant loss of life.
Hong Kong, considered by the world as the Pearl of the Orient, has contributed significantly to China’s reform and opening up and finally becoming a major world economy. The people of Hong Kong have no choice but to ask Beijing authorities to fulfill the promise they made to the international community back then that one country, two systems would remain unchanged for 50 years and that direct elections would be implemented at an early date. Now even the high degree of autonomy, freedom of speech and judicial independence promised by the Chinese Communist Party have become a thing of the past, and protesters are being arrested in batches. It is obvious that it is too extravagant to expect Xi Jinping to “self-criticize” when Hong Kong has become what it is today, but the Xi administration believes that it has “created extraordinary glory in an extraordinary year”, giving the impression that the authorities’ fears have once reached an extreme point. So they took extreme measures to stabilize the faltering situation, and after stabilizing it, they celebrated the victory, as they said, “a titanic victory”, so they called it an extraordinary glory?
However, carefully read the “Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a democratic life meeting, Xi Jinping presided over the meeting and delivered an important speech”, analysts believe that the focus is on the last three Xi Jinping’s “emphasis” and three “pointed out”, that is the main thrust of this “democratic life meeting”, Xi’s ear to the Political Bureau members of the Politburo Standing Committee to listen to his “criticism”.
Xi Jinping stressed that, first of all, “politics must improve political judgment”, he asked “comrades of the Central Politburo good at thinking about the fundamental” issues related to the overall situation of the work of the party and the state, “adhere to the political position does not move, political The main point is the position and political direction, that is, the political and Xi Jinping to maintain a consistent position, along the political direction guided by Xi. Secondly, “political awareness must improve political comprehension”, the core content of which is to “always maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee” and to “clarify the positioning of one’s duties”, the former sentence actually The first sentence is actually still a request for all senior officials to always align themselves with Xi’s core, while the second sentence roughly implies that all members of the Standing Committee, including the Premier, “should not say what they should not say” and should restrain themselves from saying what President Xi has not said, I wonder if this includes criticism of Premier Li Keqiang for once saying that 600 million people in China earn less than 1,000 yuan a month? The third article is “to speak politics must improve political execution”; the fourth article “to speak politics must strictly discipline themselves”, since Xi Jinping came to power, very wary of the emergence of a mountain within the party, fearing that some people gang up, so this article emphasizes This is why this article emphasizes “to be prudent and prudent in the first place, and prudent in friends”, and “to take the lead in the clean governance of the family”, the issue of the family style of senior CCP officials has never been given more importance under Xi Jinping’s rule, which is significantly related to the fact that most of the officials who were defeated before were accused of “family style This is related to the fact that most of the officials who were defeated before were said to have “unrighteous family style”.
Then Xi Jinping stressed that next year the leadership of provinces, cities, counties and villages will start to focus on the new term, he asked “leading cadres to correctly handle the relationship between the individual and the organization, consciously accept and obey organizational arrangements”, next year – 2021, ostensibly the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, but in fact should have been the year before the change of the General Secretary of the Communist Party. Since Xi Jinping abolished the term of office of the president, the issue of the change of term no longer exists and he can do it endlessly. But the struggle within the party will not be quelled, and Xi Jinping issued a warning here first.
Xi Jinping finally commented on the “control speeches of the senior members, affirming the achievements and putting forward requirements”, and he “considered that the democratic life meeting of the Central Political Bureau was well conducted”. Literally, this means that what Xi Jinping says, what the members listen to, there is no so-called “intra-party struggle”. Even if General Secretary Xi Jinping has some “mistakes” and people are a bit dissatisfied, some members of the Standing Committee or members should share the burden for the leader in their “self-criticism”, the meeting turned out to be “well run “, “all are happy”, agreed that “in this critical time of the mountain”, “in this very unusual year to create a very unusual glory “.
