[See China News on December 4, 2021](See a comprehensive report by Chinese reporter Miao Wei) The third historical resolution was passed at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.Xi JinpingTwentyRe-electedAfter building up the momentum, Chen Xi, his confidant and head of the Central Committee, suddenly proposed on December 1successorOn sensitive issues, he pointed out that “the younger the better, the political standard is the first to cultivate successors.” Some analysts said,Chen XiThe statement showed that the dispute over the issue of succession within the Communist Party of China has never been settled. Xi Jinping’s abolition of the succession system has worried the whole party.
Chen Xitu raised speculation on the successor issue
“Fa Guang” reported on December 3 that Chen Xi recently published an article in the “People’s Daily” explaining the “spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session” with the title “The fundamental plan of successors must be grasped.” This topic is very interesting.
The article stated that “whether you can cultivate outstanding talents” determines the rise and fall of the CCP and China. Chen Xi also quoted Xi Jinping’s saying: “Achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation… in the final analysis is cultivating generations of reliable successors.” Chen Xi also said that it is not the younger the better to train successors, and the political standard is the first.
Chen Xi said that the important thing about successors depends on political standards, not whether they are young or not. The so-called political standards and politics, in Xi’s terminology, are “two safeguards”. It is very weird to emphasize this point, that is, as long as you are loyal to the party The leader of Xi Jinping, young and old are second. The second point is that there is always a general time period for successors. Chen Xi said that it is very general, about at least 2035, or even the year when the “two hundred-year goals” are all achieved.
Before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Chen Xi mentioned the issue of successors in a half-concealed manner, which is rather strange, but when you look closely, the point is actually the point of time.
“Faguang” quoted analysts who believe that Chen Xi’s talk about successors is actually to appease the party. The party is cultivating successors. Everyone can work hard. In Xi Jinping’s words, “train and bring up generations of reliable successors.” The question is how to explain this generation after generation, that is, the point of time. Xi Jinping’s new era has a long span. To achieve the second centenary goal, if Xi’s health and longevity allow it?
Some analysts also said that Chen Xi’s statement showed that the dispute over the issue of succession within the Communist Party of China has never been resolved, and that Xi Jinping’s abolition of the succession system worries the whole party.
The third historical resolution passed by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the resolution used two-thirds of the length to discuss Xi Jinping’s “historical merits,” far surpassing Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. There are signs that Xi Jinping will usher in an era of long-term governance. Expected successor.
After Xi Jinping came to power at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the name of eliminating corruption, otherwise the country will not be protected, and in the name of “the country is the people, the people are the country”, and the “spirit” of “I will have no self”, abolished the tangible and intangible construction of the Deng era. The “guardrails” of the Communist Party of China include the abolition of the two-term CCP general secretary; the system of designated successors across generations; and unwritten rules such as “seven ups and eight downs.”
A few days ago, an overseas Chinese website analyzed that if Xi was in power for another 10 years, by 2032, in that case, “almost a whole generation of the top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party will be deprived of the opportunity to win the supreme leader. Not only is he around 60 years old, he is regarded as a possible successor. People such as Chen Miner, Hu Chunhua, Li Qiang, and Ding Xuexiang will no longer have the opportunity. Even the senior cadres over 45 years old and 55 years old in ten years will also lose the opportunity. Therefore, almost the entire generation of CCP’s senior leaders has aspirations. In theory, the highest-ranking ambitions may become secretive anti-Xi people.”
New media: Xi Jinping draws up a new successor system
On the eve of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee, Singapore’s “Straits Times” published an article titled “Chinese President Xi Jinping is considering a new succession system to select heirs.” According to people familiar with the matter, the historical political instability of the CCP is related to successors. , Xi Jinping broke the old succession system, he will have to establish a new succession system to solve the succession crisis.
The report quoted an anonymous member of the Communist Party of China. For Xi Jinping, the old succession system is unreasonable. He is unwilling to let Jiang Zemin, who is 95 years old, or Hu Jintao, who will be 78 years old, decide his successor. At present, the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party have secretly finalized a political succession framework, which is said to be determined before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, although it may not be announced at that time.
According to Xi Jinping’s preliminary framework, he may not only appoint an heir, but will promote more than one next-generation leadership to the Standing Committee at the 20th National Congress of next year to test their loyalty and political sensitivity.
The report also named five candidates who might be selected by Xi Jinping. They are Chen Miner, Secretary of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, Ding Xuexiang, Director of the Central Office of the Communist Party of China, Hu Chunhua, Vice Premier of the Communist Party of China, Li Qiang, Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Li Xi, Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee. .
“The Straits Times” also stated that insiders in the Chinese Communist Party believe that Xi Jinping should also accept that people of his age remain on the Standing Committee, because this can divert criticism of Xi’s violation of the principle of staying in office.
Sources said that after overthrowing Deng Xiaoping’s rules on term limits, collective leadership, etc., Xi Jinping may also deviate from Deng Xiaoping on another major issue, that is, resume and assume the post of party chairman. The chairman of the Communist Party of China has no term limit, so Xi Jinping can choose heirs at his own pace.
In this regard, financial expert Huang Shicong analyzed that Xi Jinping’s power has not yet been stabilized, and the “Jiang” faction such as the Tianjin Gang and Shanghai Gang before the Sixth Plenary Session were purged, indicating that the CCP’s internal fighting will become more intense.
Yuan Hongbing, a well-known legal scholar in Australia, analyzed that the fundamental purpose of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee was to establish Xi Jinping’s lifelong tenure. “Successors, etc., are all to deceive society or self-deception.” As for the five selections, he believes that Xi Jinping will choose his close associates Ding Xuexiang and Chen Miner to join the Standing Committee to consolidate his power.
