How did the Mao 2.0 era come to be?

In October 2017, the 19th Communist Party Congress revised the party constitution, with “Mao Zedong” appearing 13 times, “Deng Xiaoping” appearing 12 times, “Jiang Zemin” and “Hu Jintao” appeared once each, and “Xi Jinping” appeared 11 times. If we do not count the appearance of names in “ideas and theories”, but only in their personal capacity, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao all appear only once, while Xi Jinping appears twice, showing that the Mao Zedong 2.0 era, which transcends the Deng Xiaoping era, has arrived.

Three days after the closing of the 19th National Congress, on October 27, 2017, the first meeting of the new Politburo adopted “Several Provisions on Strengthening and Maintaining the Centralized and Unified Leadership of the Party”, which proposed for the first Time that the entire Party should establish the “four consciousnesses” (political consciousness, awareness of the overall situation, core consciousness, and awareness of alignment), and determined that the Central Politburo Members of the Central Political Bureau, Secretaries of the Secretariat, members of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the State Council, the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and the Secretaries of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Procuratorate, report in writing to the Party Central Committee and General Secretary Xi Jinping every year. This requirement was absent in Mao’s 27 years, and from reform and opening up to Hu Jintao’s naked retirement.

In September 2018, when the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee deliberated on the Regulations on the Work of the Branches of the Communist Party of China (for Trial Implementation) and the National Plan for the Education and Training of Cadres 2018-2022, it mentioned the requirement to enhance the “four consciousnesses” and firm “four self-confidences” ( Road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence, cultural confidence), to achieve the “two maintenance” (resolutely maintain the core of the Party Central Committee and the core of the Party as General Secretary Xi Jinping, and resolutely maintain the authority and centralized leadership of the Party Central Committee), the complete outline of Xi Jinping’s governance of the “12-word recipe “.

To date, on February 28, Xinhua News Agency reported that Xi Jinping “carefully reviewed and put forward important requirements” to the written statements submitted for the fourth time by the members of the Political Bureau of the CPC and the party groups and secretaries of the six top agencies, and none of the specific five requirements exceeded the scope of the “twelve words”. “The two sessions this year have become the highest guiding spirit and political goal that cannot be shaken in any way.

From the agenda of the two sessions, the adoption of the “Proposal of the CPC Central Committee on Formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the 2035 Visionary Goals” is the core, which is different from the consideration of any five-year plan and bundles the 14th Five-Year Plan with the 2035 Visionary Goals, which is equivalent to laying a direct track for Xi Jinping’s re-election at the 20th CPC National Congress.

The two sessions this year have a number of issues to amend the law, with the top priority likely to be amending the Hong Kong Basic Law. Whether it is patriots ruling Hong Kong, central leadership, or reforming Hong Kong’s Chief Executive election system, like the national security law for Hong Kong passed and implemented at last year’s two sessions, it is a breach of the Basic Law, a destruction of Hong Kong’s political system, a reneging on the decision adopted at the 31st meeting of the Standing Committee of the 10th National People’s Congress on December 29, 2007 that Hong Kong’s Chief Executive may be elected by universal suffrage in 2017, and a destruction of Deng Xiaoping’s It is also an abandonment of Deng Xiaoping’s important policy of “one country, two systems.

Deng’s refusal of political reform will eventually lead to disaster

Deng Xiaoping’s so-called “100-year unshakable” resolution of the 13th National Congress is still essentially a rejection of political reform and a lame-duck economic reform. During a lecture on the spirit of the 13th National Congress, a PLA division-level cadre made a metaphor: “The Party’s basic line is a bikini, with one center and two basic points, and more transparency in the middle.” This absurd metaphor, which has spread throughout the country, unveiled the incompatible and fundamentally opposed essence of Deng Xiaoping’s “reform and opening up” and “four basic principles”. Before Deng Xiaoping knocked down Hua Guofeng for the crime of “two mortalities”, he already asked Hu Qiaomu to formulate the “four mortalities” (the four basic principles) for him. The Resolution on Several Historical Issues Since the Founding of the People’s Republic continues to hold high the great red flag of Mao Zedong Thought, which is to retain the supreme power of the individual, because it is the best power to use.

Deng Xiaoping asked Bo Yibo to tell Chen Yun that “there can only be one mother-in-law in the party” and that the mother-in-law was “for Life“. Li Rui disclosed the words of Deng Xiaoping to Jiang Zemin: “Mao is in, Mao has the say, I am in, I have the say, when you have the say, I will be relieved.” This is a typical lifelong confession, the Constitution of August 2 he developed a term system for others, leaving himself only a straight carriage of the chairmanship of the military commission for life. The “four basic principles” led to the June 4 massacre; after the massacre, he was forced to resign from the chairmanship of the military commission, but the Constitution does not change, he is still The Emperor. His speech on the Southern Tour directed the reform and opening up to the powerful and capitalist, causing the Chinese people to be the only leeks today. As long as Mao’s portrait hangs on the Tiananmen Square, the imperial political system inherited by the CCP will remain unchanged.

Jiang Zemin chose Xi Jinping and Bo Xilai for good control, but he never thought that the “Chairman of the Military Commission” train left behind by Deng Xiaoping, once he sat on it, could immediately end China’s 30 years of reform and opening up and let China enter the Mao Zedong 2.0 era, with only a constitutional amendment to the term of office of the State President.
