No military parade for the Communist Party’s centennial celebration, an unusually low profile has led to speculation
The Communist Party of China (CPC) will celebrate its 100th anniversary on July 1 this year, and will organize a series of activities such as red patriotic Education, but no military parade, which is of concern to the outside world. Wang Xiaohui, vice minister of the Propaganda Department, said Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party, will deliver a speech on the occasion. Public opinion considers the CPC’s centennial party celebration, but no military parade, seems low-key.
Li Jun, assistant director of the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China (CPC), said at a press conference on Tuesday (23) that no military parade was scheduled for this year’s celebration of the centennial of the CPC’s founding. Li Jun also said in response to a question from the Russian news agency RIA Novosti that, according to the deployment, the Central Military Commission has made unified arrangements for military celebrations, including holding celebratory conferences, conducting party history studies, holding theoretical seminars and symposiums, etc.
This Time, no military parade was arranged, which surprised the outside world. Since Xi came to power in 2012, five military parades have been held, on average once every two years. Xi Jinping is arguably the Communist Party leader who has conducted the most number of major military parades in history. The last one was a major military parade in Beijing in 2019, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the country.
In an interview with Radio Free Asia, Hebei-based current affairs commentator Yue Jun said that based on the official announcement of the celebrations, no exciting arrangements were visible: “There is no particularly big and exciting point to the event. The 100th anniversary of the founding of the party doesn’t quite fit with a major title, both in terms of the party’s history and his position in power. Personally, I think it’s just a superficial celebration”
According to Chinese dissident Ji Feng, compared to the past, the Communist Party’s 100th anniversary can be described as low-key for three reasons, ultimately to reduce international pressure: “All he is doing now is for domestic people to see, and if it comes down to it, it will be exposed, that’s one, and two, they may have originally prepared a military parade, if not an Epidemic, not all over the world, causing so much Third, the United States and China are at loggerheads, and relations with the European Union, Canada, Australia, Japan and other countries have deteriorated, so it can be said that they are in trouble on all sides. If they do this again (parade), he will become a street rat.”
The so-called two hundred years are the policy goals of the Chinese Communist Party. According to the Constitution of the Communist Party of China (CPC), which was revised at the 19th CPC National Congress, the “two hundred years” aim to build a moderately prosperous society by the 100th year of the CPC’s founding (i.e., 2021) and to build a “moderately prosperous society” by the 100th year of the People’s Republic of China’s founding (i.e., 2049). This year is the first 100 years, but there is no official demonstration of the military power under the control of the Communist Party. Yue Jun said, “Because the CCP has never emphasized cohesion in such matters, without such a victory or height, it should not match the 100th anniversary celebration.”
Current affairs commentator Cai Shenkun told Radio Free Asia that, according to the content of the CPC’s centennial celebration activities announced by the Ministry of Propaganda, this type of propaganda is already sufficient: “Parades are often held on the big, stable anniversary of the founding of the country, and historically parades are also held on the full anniversary of the founding of the country such as the tenth, and last time (the 70th anniversary of anti-fascism in 2015) he already had one more (parade), if the parade continues, the effect is counterproductive.”
According to Cai Shenkun, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party has encountered another difficulty, that is, who should be commemorated? The Communist Party of China is a product of the former Soviet Union of the Communist International: “If other activities are as high-profile as they are prestigious, the 100th anniversary of this event to commemorate or not to commemorate, the significance is not too big. Because 100 years have experienced too many things, the past leaders of the Communist Party were purged in the campaign. If the 100th anniversary is commemorated in a high profile, who exactly should be commemorated?”
North Korea test-fires short-range missile in direct challenge to Biden
North Korea had test-fired a number of short-range missiles last weekend after criticizing the U.S. and South Korea for holding joint military exercises last week, in what was seen as the first move by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to directly challenge U.S. President Joe Biden, the Washington Post reported Tuesday (23), citing sources familiar with the matter.
Washington-based arms control groups are concerned that North Korea is likely to conduct more arms tests only in the coming days, and that there is an urgent need for the U.S. to re-engage with North Korea as Pyongyang accumulates more plutonium elements for nuclear weapons.
The report said U.S. officials discovered that North Korea had test-fired an intercontinental missile through intelligence-gathering efforts abroad. In the past, North Korea has usually praised the missile after a test launch, but after this test launch, there was no public comment, which confused both U.S. and South Korean officials. The U.S. State Department did not respond to news of North Korea’s test launch.
U.S. defense officials have warned in recent weeks that intelligence suggests North Korea may test-fire missiles, including modified intercontinental missiles, in the near future, and on the eve of the 2+2 security talks between the United States and South Korea, Kim Jong-un’s sister Kim Yo-jong warned Biden last week in response to the U.S.-South Korean military exercises this month that he “should not cause trouble or he will not be able to do so for the next four years. Don’t make trouble or you won’t be able to sleep peacefully for the next four years.”
The Biden Administration is reviewing its policy toward North Korea, but has yet to outline a concrete plan to deal with the North’s nuclear threat. Analysis suggests that the North’s test launch this time has put new pressure on the U.S. to develop a strategy to deal with the North’s nuclear threat.
Yu Maochun: Yang Jiechi has changed, once so long-sleeved and good at dancing
As the high-level U.S.-China diplomatic talks ended in Anchorage, Alaska, Yu Maochun, a Chinese Communist Party expert, criticized Beijing officials for not following the rules and losing their diplomatic demeanor during the talks and for being a “big diplomatic failure. The “tiger Yang” has transformed into a “war wolf”.
Long-sleeved and good at dancing is the meaning of being able to play sleight of hand, good at camping and going through the doorway.
