As the Chinese Communist Party celebrated its centennial anniversary of the founding of the party, there was a red ocean everywhere in the country, and patriotism rose to a new height.So what do foreign experts think about ruling China for the seventyWhat about the CCP regime for many years?Some internationally renowned Chinese scholars in a webinarLooking back on the history of the CCP, I believe that the CCP is facing a ruling crisis, and the United States should prepare a response plan and actively respond to China’s challenges.
International scholars: the CCP faces a crisis of governance
Perry Link, President and Distinguished Chair Professor of the University of California, Riverside, at the National Democracy Foundation, a non-governmental organization in the United States on June 30 (The National Endowment for Democracy) said at the seminar that traced back to Chinese history, the Qin and Sui dynasties are highly similar to the current CCP in terms of centralization of power, construction of the Great Wall, exclusion of non-Han nationality, and the use of forced labor.
Lin Peirui said: “The Qin and Sui dynasties are both short-lived dynasties. The strong foundation of Chinese civilization survives under the rule of the two centralized regimes, and will continue to spread under the rule of the CCP. Chinese civilization will also be better than the CCP regime. More able to withstand the test of time.”
On July 1, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China: “The key to managing China’s affairs lies in the party. The Chinese nation has a history of more than 180 years since modern times, and a history of 100 years since the founding of the Communist Party of China. The 70 years of history since the founding of the People’s Republic of China has fully proved that without the Communist Party of China, there would be no New China and no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. History and the people chose the Communist Party of China.”
However, Claremont McKenna College) Government professor Pei Minxin believes that the Chinese Communist regime is historically sporadic, not a choice of the people.
Pei Minxin said: “The Chinese Communist Party is a historical accident. When Japan invaded China in 1937, the Chinese Communist Party was suppressed by the Kuomintang and was on the verge of extinction. However, the Japanese invasion of China changed Chinese history. The Chinese Communist Party said that it was’the people’s choice and the history’. select’.”
Andrew Nathan, a professor of political science at Columbia University, mentioned an article he wrote for the Wall Street Journal last weekend. Li Anyou believes that China is undergoing generational changes, and that traditional values giving way to the concept of freedom will weaken the CCP’s popular support, which is not conducive to the CCP’s long-term development prospects.
Li Anyou said that, as he explained in the article, the CCP regime has overwhelming control over information, severely suppressing human rights lawyers, laborers, feminists, and Internet dissidents, abusing nationalism, and unifying ideology through national identity. And use economic prosperity to win the support of the middle class such as students and intellectuals. The results of this mixed approach have made many Chinese believe that the collapse of the party means chaos, even more terrifying than the regime itself.
Former party school professor calls on the U.S. to prepare for confrontation
Cai Xia, a former professor at the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China and now living in the United States, recently published an article through the Hoover Institution, a US think tank, calling on the United States to abandon its “naive” policy of engaging with Beijing. Cai Xia believes that the Chinese Communist regime has become neo-Stalinist totalitarianism, which is fundamentally opposed to the nature and values of the United States and other democracies. The biggest trend in U.S.-China relations is toward confrontation, rather than the multiple relationship of “competition, cooperation, and confrontation under certain circumstances” as the U.S. Secretary of State Blincoln believes.
Cai Xia wrote in the article that the Chinese Communist Party has the ambition of a hungry dragon, but at heart it is nothing but a paper tiger. Cai Xia believes that with the lessons learned from the sudden collapse of Communist regimes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the CCP is also facing the same risks. She said that the collapse of the regime triggered by random events will inevitably cause disorder and chaos within China, and will have serious consequences for the world outside China. Therefore, the United States must have a clear understanding and adequate response plans.
Elizabeth Economy, senior researcher of the Council on Foreign Relations, Asia Program Director, said that the United States must stick to its position, show China the effective operation of the democratic system, and set a good example of democracy.
