Mao Xinyu was welcomed by journalists during the “two sessions” of the Chinese Communist Party.
As Xi Jinping is making adjustments to the personnel layout of the 20th CPC National Congress, Beijing authorities suddenly held a high-profile symposium on the 100th anniversary of Hua Guofeng’s birth, which was attended by two members of the Politburo Standing Committee, including Wang Huning and Han Zheng, as well as Mao Zedong’s grandson Mao Xinyu.
Xinhua, the official media of the Communist Party of China, reported that on February 20, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a symposium to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Hua Guofeng in Beijing. Wang Huning and Han Zheng, members of the Standing Committee of the Central Political Bureau, Chen Xi, member of the Central Political Bureau and Minister of the Central Organization Department, Sun Chunlan, member of the Central Political Bureau and Vice Premier of the State Council, and Zhang Yuman, member of the Central Political Bureau and Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, attended the forum. Chen Xi presided over the symposium.
According to the CCTV “News Broadcast”, Mao Zedong’s grandson Mao Xinyu and Liu Shaoqi’s son Liu Yuan were present at the symposium.
In August 2017, a video circulated on the Internet showing Xi Jinping smiling and raising his glass to clink glasses at a Communist Party military banquet, but ignoring Mao Xinyu as he approached him, and walking directly past him without greeting him. Mao Xinyu looked despondent at the Time, standing there with an embarrassed and lost face.
In 2017, Mao Xinyu lost as a delegate to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and also lost as a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference in January 2018. Since then Mao Xinyu has made few public appearances, usually only on commemorative days concerning Mao Zedong.
Mao Xinyu is considered by the media to be a bit of a goofball, with casual and bold words and actions and poor calligraphy, and will basically become a laughing stock after tea whenever he appears in public. Because he is the only grandson of Mao Zedong, this Family background has allowed him to be “guaranteed” a degree and a promotion.
Deutsche Welle reports that the reason why Mao Xinyu is in the public eye and used as a laughing stock is actually a mockery of the Chinese Communist Party’s powerful elite. Since Jiang Zemin became the top leader of the Communist Party, the military, like the rest of the bureaucracy, has been very corrupt. Mao Xinyu was arranged to enjoy some privileges and attend large official meetings year after year, which is a form of power corruption, taking special care of the second generation of the Red Generation according to their connections.
In April 2018, Mao Xinyu became “Vice President of the Institute of War Research of the Academy of Military Sciences,” and in May 2018, the official media reported that Xi Jinping visited the Academy of Military Sciences and Mao Xinyu was present. The Academy of Military Sciences is a major military research institution directly under the Central Military Commission at the deputy theater level, with Yang Xuejun as its president and Bai Lu as its political commissar.
According to public information, the CPC Academy of Military Sciences has eight research institutes, including the Institute of Warfare Research, the Institute of Systems Engineering, the Institute of National Defense Engineering, the Institute of Army Political Work, the Institute of Military Medicine, the Institute of Military Law, the Institute of Defense Science and Technology Innovation, and the Institute of Chemical Defense.
In recent years, Mao Xinyu has rarely appeared in public, with his most recent appearance being on April 6, 2019. According to the Hunan World Shaoshan Network, Mao Xinyu, his wife Liu Bin, son Mao Dongdong, and daughter Mao Tanyi visited Shaoshan, Hunan Province, on April 6, 2019, during the Qingming Festival to sweep the tomb.
According to a Nov. 26, 2019, report by pro-Communist media Hong Kong 01, citing “Dabai News,” a public website of the New Industry and Economy magazine, on Nov. 17, 2019, Mao Xinyu and his daughter and Mao Zedong’s great-granddaughter Mao Tanyi attended the Beijing Haiying Spinal health Benefit Foundation (the “Foundation”) “) at its 8th anniversary poetry and Music recital, with Mao Tanyi performing a piano solo, “Moonlight”.
