[Epoch Times August 26, 2021]The G20 summit will be held from October 30 to 31 in Rome, the capital of Italy. On August 24, Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post reported that the face-to-face meeting between President Xi Jinping of the Communist Party of China and President Biden of the United States may be further postponed due to the CCP’s consideration of attending the G20 summit via video.
If Xi and Bai cannot meet in Rome, this will be the latest meeting between a new US president and a Chinese Communist leader since 1997.
Whether this news is true or not remains to be confirmed. However, one thing is clear. After visiting Myanmar on January 17-18 last year, Xi Jinping has not visited abroad for more than 17 months.
Why hasn’t Xi Jinping taken a step abroad for so long? Why has there been no “Xi visit” after US President Biden took office for more than half a year?
There are many reasons, such as the impact of the epidemic, the CCP’s “wolf war diplomacy” has offended too many countries, and the CCP’s strategy for the United States and its Western allies has changed. The author believes that there is another important reason. Before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the frequent news that overseas is not conducive to Xi has caused Xi’s worries.
Biden says Xi is not his old friend
On June 16, after the US-Russia summit, a reporter asked Biden: Will he call Xi Jinping as an “old friend to old friend” and ask him to open the door to WHO experts to investigate the source of the virus? Biden said: “Let me say bluntly, we know each other very well, but not old friends, just a working relationship.”
From June 9th to 16th, Biden embarked on his first trip to Europe after taking office. Within a week, he met with the leaders of the world‘s most influential Western powers or international organizations.
In the UK, Biden and British Prime Minister Johnson signed the “New Atlantic Charter” and participated in the G7 summit. The seven countries, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Canada (Canada), are the most developed Western countries in the world today. The summit invited Prime Minister Morrison of Australia, President Ramaphosa of South Africa, Prime Minister Modi of India, President Moon Jae-in of South Korea, Secretary-General Guterres of the United Nations, President of the European Commission Von der Lein, and President of the European Council Michele you. Subsequently, Biden attended the three summits of NATO, the United States and Europe, and the United States and Russia.
On this trip, Biden met with leaders of dozens of democratic countries in Europe, the United States, Asia, Australia, and Africa, but Xi Jinping was excluded. In particular, one issue that runs through these meetings is how to deal with the CCP.
The United States and Britain signed the Atlantic Charter in 1941 in response to fascism. In 2021, the United States and Britain signed the “New Atlantic Constitution”, who are they responding to? Chinese Communist Party. The G7 summit statement mentioned Xinjiang, Hong Kong, the South China Sea, the East China Sea, and the Taiwan Strait, as well as independent investigations into the origin of the “CCP virus.” These are all directed at the CCP.
At the G7 summit, Italian Prime Minister Draghi said that the G7 must recognize the differences between the West and the CCP. “Beijing is an authoritarian regime that does not abide by multilateral rules. It has different values from democratic countries. We need to cooperate, but we also need to face the differences between us and the things we don’t agree with. Just like President Biden said. As said, silence is an accomplice.”
On June 14, the NATO summit issued a statement, mentioning China 12 times extremely rarely, saying that China “posed a systemic challenge to the rules-based international order”; the 30 NATO countries “need to cope with it together as an alliance.”
The statement issued after the US-Europe summit on June 15 was titled “Towards a New Transatlantic Partnership.” The statement stated: “The United States and the European Union represent 780 million people, share common democratic values and the world’s largest economic relationship…and adhere to democracy and human rights. After World War II, the United States and Europe established the world economy and a rule-based international order. The foundation is based on openness, fair competition, transparency and accountability.” The statement also talked about Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the Taiwan Strait. The statement’s intentions against the CCP are obvious.
The last stop of Biden’s trip was the first summit with Russian President Putin in Geneva, Switzerland. A joint statement issued after the meeting announced that the United States and Russia will hold a “bilateral strategic stability dialogue” in the near future. The statement specifically mentioned: “Even in times of tension (in bilateral relations), both sides must ensure that progress can be made on common goals, to ensure predictability in strategic areas, and to reduce the risk of armed conflict and the threat of nuclear war.”
The “Visiting Meeting” was not held, and the “Visiting Meeting” appeared first. For Xi, it is certainly not a taste. What makes Xi even more uncomfortable is that the “Pop Meeting” is also aimed at the CCP. Despite the contradictions between the United States and Russia, the United States still regards Russia as a member of the world democratic camp after the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
After the last round of summits on his trip, Biden made his point clear at the press conference: Xi Jinping is not my “old friend”. This may be the last sentence Xi didn’t want to hear, and it didn’t save a bit of face.
In the 18 months since the beginning of 2011, Biden and Xi Jinping have met at least 8 times in the United States and China. When accompanied by an interpreter, the two people spent more than 25 hours eating together. The BBC once reported that Bai and Xi were considered “very personal friends.”
However, in 2021, in front of international media reporters in Geneva, Biden even said that Xi is not his “old friend”. This is not a slip of the tongue, but an important signal: Bye and Xi may become “rivals.” “.
On January 28, eighth day after Biden took office as President of the United States, the American think tank “Atlantic Council” published an 80-page article “Longer Telegram: Towards a New U.S. China Strategy.”
The “longer telegram” originated from the “long telegram” of Kenan, Chargé d’affaires of the US diplomatic mission to the Soviet Union. On February 22, 1946, Kenan sent an 8,000-word telegram to the U.S. State Department, proposing a new direction for U.S. policy toward the Soviet Union, that is, abandoning the naive vision of continuing to cooperate with the Soviet Union in international affairs and educate the U.S. through the media. The people understand the truth about the Soviet Union and contain the Soviet Union. Since then, the United States began a “cold war” with the Soviet Union that lasted for decades.
When the US news website Politico reposted the “Longer Telegram” summary, it changed the title to “The United States Should Target Xi Jinping Against China’s Rise”. The key to directly naming this article is to replace Xi Jinping.
At the end of last year, I heard from a friend that the financial giants on Wall Street in the United States were preparing to join hands with politicians in Washington to replace Xi Jin. Is this article a signal of joint action between Wall Street and Washington?
Someone summarized the main points of this article as: first, “go to Xi”; second, “tolerate the communists”; third, before the Xi era, the American dignitaries and the Chinese Communist dignitaries joined forces to “make a fortune in silence.”
Change Xi’s ideas through politics
In May, the new book “China Coup: The Great Leap to Freedom” (China Coup: The Great Leap to Freedom) by Roger Garside, the former British diplomat in China, was published by the University of California Press.
Gestard worked at the British Embassy in China twice, met Mao Zedong in 1968, and had dinner with Deng Xiaoping in 1977. Based on his observations of the current situation of the Chinese Communist Party, Guestre made a fictional story about the Chinese Communist Party’s Vice President Wang Qishan, Premier Li Keqiang, and Vice Premier Wang Yang, “planning a coup to overthrow Xi Jinping and then initiate democratic transformation”.
On April 30, Guestre published an article “The Change of Power in China is Not Only Possible, but Imminent” in the Canadian “Globe and Mail”. In an interview with the media, he said: “I think the reason why it is imminent is because the regime we see in China today is a totalitarian regime… Its goal is to achieve a world-leading position in artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies. The combination of totalitarian politics will bring a nightmare to our future. Therefore, we must not only defend ourselves, but also cooperate with the Chinese people who do not agree with Xi Jinping leading China on this path, and it is too late. Take action before.”
“People might say,’A coup in China? It’s impossible. The CCP’s regime is prosperous and powerful, and it controls everything. What a ridiculous idea.'” Guess said: “It’s not that ridiculous.” “Remember, the Soviet Union. Institutional researchers failed to foresee what would happen at the end of the year in January 1991.”
To put it bluntly, Guestre’s statement is still “going to Xi.” Before returning to the Xi era, he went back to the old path that Western politicians had imagined in the past-to promote the CCP toward freedom and democracy through cooperation with the enlightened members of the CCP.
Xi should be responsible for the loss of 45 trillion US dollars?
On July 10, Fred Kempe, chairman of the American think tank “Atlantic Council”, wrote on CNBC’s website that a similar attack on Chinese companies such as Didi Chuxing could cost China up to US$45 trillion in capital by 2030. Inflow, “this is an immeasurable loss of economic vitality.”
On June 30, Didi Chuxing was listed on the New York Stock Exchange before the 100th Anniversary of the Communist Party of China. This is the largest initial public offering (IPO) of a Chinese Communist Party in the United States since 2014. On July 1, Xi Jinping delivered a tough speech on the Centennial Party Celebration of the Communist Party of China. Beginning on July 2nd, Xi’s authorities have been making heavy blows one after another, taking purge actions against Didi Chuxing, including the implementation of network security reviews on Didi Chuxing.
Fred Kempe said: “For global investors, this is a week to see how much the CCP is willing to pay to ensure its rule.”
Although this article did not explicitly propose to replace Xi Jinping, it is clearly critical of Xi’s purge of Didi Travel, especially when it comes to Xi’s loss of US$45 trillion. This sentence weighs heavily. The implication is that this important responsibility should be borne by Xi.
Soros’ anti-Xi speech and actions
On August 13, American “financial crocodile” Soros published “Xi Jinping’s Dictatorship Threatening China” in the Wall Street Journal, calling Xi “the most dangerous enemy of an open society”. This article was widely reprinted by overseas media and had a wide impact.
In his article, Soros praised Deng Xiaoping for his knowledge of the West, “Deng’s method worked miraculously”. But today, Xi is “working hard to eliminate Deng Xiaoping’s influence on China’s development.”
In order to continue to be in power in 2022, Xi is taking actions against those who oppose Xi in politics and business, “destroying the goose that lays the golden egg” and “making anyone rich enough to exercise power independently to submit to him”, such as purge the ant group, Alibaba, Didi Chuxing, etc.
Soros was once a man in the financial market. In 1992, he shorted the British pound, known as the “man who made the Bank of England go bankrupt”; in 1997, he shorted Qin Ba, which triggered the Asian financial turmoil, and was called by Thailand as an “economic war criminal who sucked the blood of the people”; in 2012, he shorted Yen, earned at least 1 billion U.S. dollars.
Soros not only violently criticized Xi, but also sold off all of the Chinese concept stocks he bought-Baidu, Vipshop, Tencent Music Entertainment, and iQiyi.
Soros, who has identified Xi as “the most dangerous enemy”, may continue to use his influence in the financial world to take action against China’s concept stocks or the Chinese stock market.
Xi’s political opponents keep venting overseas
Xi’s biggest political enemy is the “Jiang Zemin Interest Group” headed by Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong. Jiang is a former CCP dictator, former member of the CCP Politburo Standing Committee and Vice President Zeng Qinghong.
More than eight years after Xi came to power, he arrested Jiang and a group of high-ranking party, government and military officials who had been promoted and reused. Before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the high-level internal struggles of the Chinese Communist Party involved various factions, but the most important thing was probably the struggle between Xi and Jiang and Zeng Zhi. Before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it was Jiang and Zeng’s last chance to oust Xi. Jiang, Zeng and their cronies are gathering anti-Xi forces at home and abroad for the final battle with Xi Zuo.
Since the beginning of this year, overseas media with Jiang and Zeng’s background have continued to spread the news. On the one hand, they did not miss any opportunity to attack Xi; on the other hand, they used all possible means to stand and cheer for Jiang, Zeng and their cronies.
For example, to build momentum for the Jiang faction and the President of the Supreme Court of the Communist Party of China, Zhou Qiang praised Zhou Qiang as “the only person with a truly complete legal education background” among the 10 Supreme Court presidents in the 72 years since the founding of the Communist Party of China. People with a law education are rare among high-ranking officials.” Zhou Qiang may be able to “hold the CCP’s “knife” by relying on the advantages of age and local and professional advantages at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. That is, he served as a member of the Political Bureau of the CCP and secretary of the Central Political and Legal Committee.
Zhou Qiang was once denounced by Chinese jurists as the “chief Dafa blind” who “caused the country and the people”. Less than three months after Zhou served as the president of the Supreme Court, he approved the death penalty for private entrepreneur Zeng Chengjie, who was deemed “to kill his life”; Zhou claimed that the pro-democracy activist Li Wangyang was “suicide” and was deemed “extremely shameless”; Zhou persecuted 709 Lawyers are considered “lawless”.
Concluding remarks
Today, Xi’s most important agenda is to ensure that he is re-elected to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. However, anti-Xi forces at home and abroad have never stopped. Today, the situation Xi is facing is: internally uneasy, externally uncertain.
Before the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi’s reputation reached the highest point in his life; however, only less than four years later, before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi’s reputation plummeted. Why? It is believed that the party can protect power and life.
It is clear from Xi’s eight-year anti-corruption campaign that the CCP has long become the most corrupt party in the world. Xi’s insistence on protecting the party will surely be under attack from inside and outside. It is impossible for him to live a stable life one day, and he may eventually become the backer of all the CCP’s scapegoats.
