XI Jinping brings China to the brink of collapse
XI Jinping brings China to the brink of collapse
Because on the first plenary of the 20th congress, Xi not only received his groundbreaking third term as general secretary of the party, he also occupied the remaining six places in the constant committee of the Politburos, China's highest decision -making committee. He broke long -cherished agreements and fully excluded high -ranking leaders from the factions of the opposition parties. And in an amazing development, XI then had his immediate predecessor Hu Jintao violently removed from the final meeting of the congress. HU has disappeared from the public since then.
By conquering what looks like full power, Xi has broken almost every norm, guideline, any understanding and rule that have kept peace in the Communist Party for decades. These guardrails, as they are called, were built according to the disastrous rule by Mao Zedong, the founder of the People's Republic. Mao, mostly unchecked by other high -ranking leaders, almost destroyed the party.
Mao's successor, Deng Xiaoping, initiated a long process of normalizing politics to ensure that there would be no MAOS. Among other things, Deng ensured that opponents were no longer killed or mutilated. Instead, they were offered a comfortable life without power. By reducing the costs of lost political struggles, they had less incentive to fight to the end and tear apart the party.
XI, who worshiped Mao, has increased these costs by withdrawing opponents their assets and convicting them for long prison terms, many of them in prison terms. His opponents therefore have all incentive to fight him hard. The result is that, as in Maoist times, the party is fundamentally unstable, especially since XI becomes even more insecure.
In a time forced by Deng, the Communist Party established a rhythm and became more or less predictable in questions of internal leadership. For example, party days, which once took place at irregular intervals, were placed on a schedule that takes place every five years. XI changes this regularity for practical reasons. The Communist Party does not have an “choice” every five years. There are now elections every day because XI can lose power every day.
After all, he has been a "civil war" within the prevailing organization, as Gregory Copley, President of the International Strategic Studies Association, says. XI only won the first round of this conflict. "The cleansing and the oppression of Chinese society are now serious," emphasizes Copley. It is believed that XI will intensify his attacks on citizens with assets to gain total control over society.
It is assumed that XI made Jack Ma disappear after the business star, the co -founder of the Alibaba Group, had slightly critical comments on China's banks as well as the bank supervisory authorities and the country's central bank. XI then canceled the Ma’s Ant Group's IPO 36 hours before the planned start of trade, which would have been the largest in history.
XI has signaled that he will continue to record it with his “Common Prosperity Program” with the financial, economic and political elite. So the rich China leave and the money flows off. Chinese stocks and the Renminbi suffered from this. It is XI Jinping against China, and like his hero Mao Zedong, he will shake society into the mark. He knows that he has increased the costs of political failure, so it is clear that he knows that he cannot fail. His threshold on risk is therefore low.
Mao Zedong started the decades of cultural revolution in 1966 to defeat political enemies. XI to finish with enemies, Mao's play book follows with broad attacks on Chinese society. And yet, despite all his idiosyncrasy, Mao did not have the power to start a war. Xi Jinping, on the other hand, does it, and he apparently has the need to have a foreign enemy to distract the Chinese people from their domestic failures.
xi will therefore let others live in peace in China nor elsewhere. The whole world could be his victim.
