[China Observation]The CCP appoints a “Party Chairman” to lead to infighting? | Xi Jinping | 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China | Leader

[The Epoch Times, May 23, 2022](Reported by Epoch Times reporters Ning Haizhong and Luo Ya) Recently, the CCP media has been intensively promoting Xi Jinping. It is observed that Xi Jinping will be officially awarded the title of leader in the form of a document at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. And restore the party chairmanship. And this will be very terrifying for everyone, especially for officials, and there must be a secret war within the party.

Analysis of official media momentum: Xi may officially become the “leader” and resume the position of party chairman

The CCP media Xinhua News Agency will launch 50 episodes of online short films about Xi Jinping on May 23. The trailer said that it is necessary to let the public know “Xi Jinping along the way”.

Senior media person in mainland China, Jin Qiu, told The Epoch Times on the 23rd that the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will be held before the end of the year, and the campaign must be started half a year in advance. These promotional videos must have been filmed long ago. After a period of review and approval, they are now being broadcast. The temperature will gradually increase in the future.

Jinqiu believes that Xi Jinping will officially add the title of leader to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China and restore the position of party chairman at the same time. Once realized, Xi’s powers appear to be even larger than Mao Zedong’s. Mao only served as the chairman of the party and the military commission at the time, but Xi also served as the head of many leading groups.

“I think it’s okay for him to be re-elected, and then the general secretary is changed to be the chairman of the party. That’s in line with his historical position as a leader.”

Feng Chongyi, an expert on China at the University of Technology Sydney, told The Epoch Times on May 23 that rumors about the restoration of the party chairman had spread a lot before and after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. “Xi’s Ma Zai is a follower, and he makes suggestions. He will deliberately come out to let the wind out and try to react before taking the next action.”

He said that if he returned to the party chairmanship, Xi would officially become the “leader”. Just like Mao Zedong in those days, he will go all the way to the level of the Cultural Revolution, and everyone will face extinction.

According to public information, from the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1945 to the Twelfth National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1982, the position of the top leader of the Communist Party of China was “Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China”. The 12th National Congress revised the party constitution, and no longer established the positions of chairman and vice-chairman, with the general secretary as the top leader. The general secretary generally also serves as the chairman of the CPC Central Military Commission. The CCP constitution does not set a limit on the number of times the general secretary can be re-elected.

In the history of the CCP, only Mao Zedong was officially called a “great leader”. After Mao, Hua Guofeng, who succeeded the chairman of the Communist Party of China, was once officially called a “wise leader”. Deng Xiaoping was never officially called a “leader”. During the Deng period, he began to use the word “core”. He said that Mao was the “core” of the first generation of the CCP leadership, he himself was the “core” of the second generation, and Jiang Zemin was the so-called “core” of the third generation, but Hu Jintao was not awarded the title. “core”.

After Xi Jinping came to power, it officially became the “core” after the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in December 2016, and was written into the party constitution at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

The “leader”‘s warm-up and suspected rebound

In recent years, the term Xi’s leader has been used in state media, including in official slogans praising Xi.

During the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October 2017, Cai Qi, Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, publicly touted Xi Jinping as a “wise leader”, and Bayin Chaolu, Secretary of the Jilin Provincial Party Committee, referred to Xi as “a well-deserved leader and helmsman of the Party”.

In December 2017, at the “Democratic Life Meeting” of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, Xi Jinping was called “the worthy leader of the party” for the first time. According to the official briefing of the Politburo meeting, it was the first time that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China used “people’s leader” to refer to Xi Jinping.

In March this year, during the two sessions, CCTV launched the “People’s Leader Xi Jinping” column. In April, Xinhua published another article touting Xi’s so-called “people’s leader’s broad vision”.

However, Xi Jinping’s title of “leader” has also experienced subtle twists and turns.

After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2017, the Qianxinan Daily in Qianxinan Prefecture, Guizhou Province published two articles on November 10 and 14, praising Xi Jinping as a “great leader” and hanging Xi Jinping in the state’s venue and conference room. the “leader image”. But then it was ordered to be removed by the senior management.

On April 17 this year, the Guangxi Provincial Party Committee shouted the slogan “Always support the leader, defend the leader, and follow the leader”, but on April 22, Xi Jinping was elected as the representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Guangxi, and the expression in the official announcement has been changed to “loyal core , support the core, maintain the core, defend the core”, without mentioning the word “leader”. The “pocket book” of eulogizing Xi Jinping officially distributed to the grassroots in Guangxi was also recycled and deleted from official media reports.

In this regard, Feng Chongyi told The Epoch Times that in a dictatorship, as long as anyone is in power, the subordinates must gain favor and continue to be promoted. And those in power also need to show that he is free. The head of the Central Propaganda Department, the president of People’s Daily, and the editor-in-chief of major party media are all from Xi. If they think some personality cult practices are too conspicuous, they will take it back, and then put other words out.

Feng Chongyi did not think that this time, Wang Huning alone was fiddling with the “leaders” for Xi, and Wang’s gang. “There are many people who flatter and invite pets. Xi Jinping can get to this point, not by Wang Huning alone, but by those diehards who want to protect their rights and then follow the interests of the study. They are not afraid of being with the king like a tiger, these minions do not have such a mentality. obstacle.”

Xi makes lifelong officials make the final counterattack?

In addition to the aforementioned 50-episode short films about Xi Jinping, the Xinhua News Agency of the Communist Party of China said on May 17 that after the publication of the newsletter “Xi Jinping’s Cultural Feelings” on May 11, it will open a column on this topic and launch a series of reports.

On May 12, the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a series of press conferences on the theme of “This Decade of China”, touting Xi’s achievements in ten years of power.

In addition to the propaganda of the central party media, the recent official events and propaganda in many parts of the mainland have begun to involve this topic. The plenary meeting of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China held on May 22 stated that Guangdong’s achievements depended on “the authority of Xi Jinping, the general secretary of the Communist Party of China, who has set one and one final word.”

Although officials are clearly paving the way for the continuation of Xi Jinping’s power, there are still different opinions on whether Xi Jinping can continue to serve a third term. Especially recently, in the face of the government’s insistence on the policy of clearing the epidemic situation, the economy has been hit hard and people’s grievances are boiling, as well as the CCP’s position on the Russian-Ukrainian war, Sino-US tensions and other unfavorable factors, which may have an impact on his re-election.

There are also many negative rumors about Xi from the outside world, including Zhu Rongji’s opposition to Xi Jinping’s re-election. Among the nine opinions circulated by Zhu Rongji on the Internet, the first one is to oppose the current zero epidemic prevention policy. Later, there were rumors that the elders forced the palace, and Xi Jinping stepped down from Li Keqiang.

Feng Chongyi said that the CCP will of course oppose Xi’s reinstatement of the party chairman, and the same as Mao Zedong’s life. In fact, the entire CCP is corrupt, but when the life and property of the officials below are facing extinction, they may make a final counterattack.

Feng Chongyi said, because once Xi has a lifetime tenure, he will take down anyone at any time, which is very scary for them. For example, there is a recent rumor that Xi wants officials to cut off overseas assets. “The Chinese are very distressed when they are passively affected by this. They were supposed to be promoted in order to make a fortune, and to make money for the sake of passing it on to their descendants, but now that this road is cut off, they will suffer very much.”

He thinks that the words of the elders like Zhu Rongji can play a role. Recently, the authorities issued a document saying that retired cadres should not talk indiscriminately, which proves that it is those old people who are expressing their dissatisfaction. Zhu Rongji may have really written a book and talked about a lot of things, so now he uses party discipline to cover up.

But Feng Chongyi believes that the real problem is that people like Zhu Rongji are old, and no one in the current Politburo Standing Committee can overthrow Xi.

Jin Qiu also said that there must be someone in the CCP who opposes Xi’s re-election and the restoration of the party chairman. “In their opinion, the 20th National Congress is the best opportunity. They will definitely use the fight against the epidemic to attack Xi. But they can only create a public opinion. Because under the party-state system, the barrel of the gun has the final say. As long as Xi holds military power, he will be his chairman and leader without any suspense.”

Political commentator Li Lin told The Epoch Times that before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there were still certain variables in the CCP’s infighting. Recently, foreign media have reported that Li Keqiang has once again “stepped out of the shadows” and his power has expanded. Whether this is true or not, and whether Li Keqiang’s character will prompt him to take such a step. Judging from the news itself, there are forces behind it, who want to erect Li Keqiang and become an anti-Xi leader.

Li Linyi said that these reports themselves illustrate the weirdness of the CCP’s political situation before the 20th National Congress, and also that after Xi Jinping’s “dynamic clearing” and his political leftward turning hurt the economy, there was a backlash against his policies within the CCP. Therefore, the anti-Xi forces behind the scenes will intensify their attacks on Xi in the future, and there are still certain variables in the political situation. The Beidaihe Conference will be a landmark event.
