[Epoch Times, August 12, 2021]A few days ago, the Chinese Communist Party issued a policy outline for the next five years, requesting local governments to implement it. Scholars believe that the CCP once again shouted slogans, the content of the document is gorgeous, and the old tune is repeated. However, from the perspective of the time span, it shows that Xi Jinping may continue to serve for another five years.
On the evening of August 11, the major official media of the Communist Party of China forwarded the “Implementation Outline for the Construction of a Government under the Rule of Law (2021-2025)” just released by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The outline stated that in the next five years, Xi Jinping’s so-called rule of law will continue to be implemented to achieve the construction of the rule of law and improve government functions. By 2025, government actions must be brought into the track of the rule of law.
As the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China previously announced that it would suspend the regular press conference from August 2 to August 13, Canada’s main senior officials have been collectively invisible from official media reports since the first week of August. Outside speculation, the mysterious Beidaihe meeting It may be held, or it may be over now.
The “Outline” spans 2022 and has nothing new in content
This “Outline” spans Xi Jinping’s second term of office in 2022. Therefore, some scholars believe that this shows from the side that Xi Jinping may be renewed for another five years. However, compared with the “Implementation Guidelines for the Construction of a Government under the Rule of Law (2015-2020)” issued by the Chinese Communist Party after Xi Jinping took office, this new outline does not see any new ideas.
In an interview with Radio Free Asia, a mainland scholar who requested anonymity said: “From the beginning to the end, people don’t see any new ideas, and it’s difficult to interpret the specific meaning of the rule of law and the rule of law itself. For example, it relates to how the government promotes fairness. , How to promote more welfare, its relationship with market freedom, etc. Issues such as future reforms, social development, political parties and administrative relations are not covered.”
In an interview with Radio Free Asia, another Chinese scholar, Song Yang, said that compared with the “Implementation Outline for the Construction of a Government under the Rule of Law (2015-2020)” published five years ago, the latest documents are lackluster.
Scholar: rhetoric is gorgeous, full of big talk
Song Yang said: “As always, it is full of big talk and pretty words. Moreover, the tune is very high, and the old tune is repeated. Who will supervise the content of such a gorgeous and high-key document? There is no real effective supervision. , It will definitely not be implemented.”
He said that although the “Outline” puts forward a number of convenience measures, such as “the full implementation of approval services “immediately, online, nearby, one-off, self-service”. Resolutely prevent the use of filing, registration, administrative confirmation, soliciting opinions, etc. Set up administrative licensing matters in a disguised manner.” However, the full text of the document did not mention how to supervise the implementation. Song Yang believes that this is the key issue.
“With such a dominant position of supervision within the party, such a mechanism is equivalent to no supervision. The party is actually talking about it. In recent years, there has been a new formulation called’no arbitrariness’.” Song Yang said.
