[EpochTimesAugust292021]On August 27, Xi Jinping presided over the so-called “Central Nationalities Work Conference.” The conference itself is not really important. The most important thing is to use this conference to refute rumors to the outside world, that is, Wang Yang is impossible. Replacing Xi Jinping at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
The Xinhua News Agency used ten paragraphs to publish Xi Jinping’s speech, and quoted each of Li Keqiang’s and Wang Yang’s speeches to prove that Xi Jinping is still in power and that Li Keqiang and Wang Yang must obey the “one respect.” This deliberate arrangement also tried to prove that there is no internal strife among the top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, and that Xi Jinping is safe to be re-elected and has not encountered challenges. But such a political show seems to be overdone, which just confirms that the rumors of Wang Yang taking over as general secretary make Xi Jinping very concerned.
After Wang Yang participated in the Tibet celebration on August 19, news of his superiors began to spread, which aroused the attention of the outside world. In recent days, the Chinese Communist Party media has repeatedly reported on various speeches by Xi Jinping on national work, paving the way for this meeting.
Xinhua News Agency reported that all members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China appeared on August 27. The report also stated that Li Keqiang presided over the meeting, Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, and Wang Yang made a concluding speech. This arrangement is actually a typical “three hundred taels of silver in this place”.
There is nothing new in Xi Jinping’s speech. The secretaries have summed up the twelve “must” of the so-called ethnic work in a serious manner; Xi Jinping finally said that “strengthening and perfecting the party’s overall leadership” is a “fundamental political guarantee.”
If such a meeting cannot be held, high-level talks or speeches are meaningless in reality, and they cannot play a specific role in guiding work. Everyone who attended the meeting should know it, but it was just a political show to accompany the top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party.
Xi Jinping’s speech is not the key, but the information contained in the speeches of Li Keqiang and Wang Yang is the most critical.
Xinhua News Agency reported that “Li Keqiang pointed out that General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech… deeply analyzed the new situation facing the party’s ethnic work, systematically explained… the important thinking of ethnic work, and clarified… the guidance Thoughts and strategic goals…point out the way forward… we must study and understand carefully… Consciously unify our thoughts and actions into the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech…”
When Li Keqiang visited Henan on August 18, he requested that flood accident investigations be “seeking truth from facts”, “accountability for dereliction of duty,” and “giving an account to the society.” Li Keqiang showed no mercy to the Secretary of the Henan Provincial Party Committee and the Secretary of the Zhengzhou Municipal Party Committee of Xi Jiajun, but he had to speak Mandarin and behave in a high-level CCP meeting to maintain harmony. This is exactly what Xi Jinping needs most.
The Xinhua News Agency reported that, “Wang Yang pointed out in his concluding speech that General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech was high-minded and profound in thought, and scientifically answered important questions such as what flag to raise and what path to take in ethnic work in the new era. This is part of the party’s ethnic work practice. The latest summary is the latest achievement of the Sinicization of Marxist national theory and the fundamental follow-up for national work in the new era… It is important to study and implement the spirit of the conference as an important political task…”
Wang Yang’s speech was higher than Li Keqiang’s tone, and perhaps he wanted to refute rumors to the outside world. He had no thoughts, desires, and no opposition to Xi Jinping. This is also what Xi Jinping needs most.
The speeches of Li Keqiang and Wang Yang were the focus of this meeting. All the seven standing committee members attended the meeting and expressed their opinions and refuted rumors in front of a large number of officials who listened to the meeting. It was a unique meeting in the world. The Xinhua News Agency’s report must dispel rumors to the entire party. Xi Jinping is on the road to re-election in an orderly manner. No one can challenge his authority. There seems to be no objection within the current high-level CCP.
The participants listed by Xinhua News Agency include members of the Politburo, secretaries of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, leaders of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, state councilors, court presidents, chief prosecutors of the procuratorate, and leaders of the CPPCC, as well as the main leaders of the party and government of various provinces and cities, and are in charge of ethnic work. Personnel, etc., as well as officials from relevant departments of the central government and the military. The meeting was held in the form of a video and telephone conference, with branch venues in each province and city.
Judging from the high-level and large-scale participation of this meeting, it far exceeds the needs of the so-called national work, which shows how important this rumor rejection is to Xi Jinping. However, such refuting the rumors is tantamount to confirming the existence of the rumors to officials at all levels of the Chinese Communist Party and confirming the impact of the rumors.
Whether the high-level CCP is really as harmonious as a show on the surface, the outside world should also have a general conclusion. As usual, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China tried to fix the personnel affairs of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The date for the convening has not yet been determined.
