[Epoch Times December 21, 2021]On December 20, the CCP held the “National Conference on Intra-Party Regulations and Regulations” in Beijing. The autocratic CCP’s internal party regulations have always been called Gang Regulations and Family Laws. Xi Jinping issued instructions to the meeting, demanding that “intra-party regulations” maintain “centralized and unified leadership” and guarantee the party’s “long-term governance.” After the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee and before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi’s remarks revealed two major concerns.
According to Xinhua News Agency, the mouthpiece of the Communist Party of China, the highest-level participants in this meeting were Politburo Standing Committee Member and Party Building Director Wang Huning, and Xi’s cronies, Ding Xuexiang, director of the Central Office, presided over the meeting and conveyed Xi’s instructions. Also present at the meeting were Yang Xiaodu, Chen Xi, Guo Shengkun, Huang Kunming and others.
Xi’s core worries are frequently seen in power positions
Xi Jinping asked the CCP to maintain the “centralized and unified leadership” of the CCP’s assistance regulations, in other words, to ensure the unified leadership of the “core” of Xi’s Central Committee.
After Xi Jinping came to power, he has strengthened control within the Communist Party of China. There are already many regulations and family laws formulated. The core clauses are to prevent anti-Xi and ensure the stability of his power.
After the Beidaihe meeting in 2018, the authorities have already thrown out the revised and authentic “gang rules”-the Chinese Communist Party Disciplinary Regulations.
It was at that time that after the outbreak of the US-China trade war, the Chinese Communist Party’s advocacy of Xi Jinping suddenly cooled down. Political rumors arose, involving the Beidaihe veteran’s “forced palace”, and Xi’s power was facing challenges. During this period, Li Zhanshu voiced to maintain the authority of the Central Committee of Xi’s “One hammer, one deity”. Zhao Kezhi, Chen Yixin, etc. also successively stated that they are “fixed on one”, and the CCP’s political situation is awkward.
After the Beidaihe meeting, Xi Jinping returned to CCTV news headlines on August 19. He emphasized in the military party building meeting to guide the entire army to “resolutely maintain the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership, and resolutely obey the commands of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission”, and put down a murderous atmosphere. Coming at you.
On August 26 of the same year, the government announced the newly revised Party Discipline Regulations to comply with the party constitution revised at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, incorporate “Xi Thought” into the guiding principles, and formally added “Resolutely safeguarding Xi Jinping’s core position in the party”. . “Xi Thought” and “Xi Core” have officially risen to the level of party discipline, which brooks no challenge.
The New Party Disciplinary Regulations also specifically added regulations on the handling of those who “backed the Party Central Committee to create another set” and “dual-faced people,” as well as the handling of “creating, spreading, and disseminating political rumors, and undermining the unity and unity of the party.”
Obviously, Xi Jinping, who is in power, is still stepping up the prevention of anti-Xi forces in the party and concretizing the rules and regulations.
This is not enough. On March 28, 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the “Provisions on the Organization and Handling of the Communist Party of China (Trial)”, listing 17 acts that should be “organized and handled.” The first one is that “the Party Central Committee is consistent with each other on major issues of principle and violates the wrong words and deeds of the’four consciousnesses’,’four self-confidence’, and’two safeguards’.” Other provisions include “non-organized activities such as gangs, gangs, formation of gangs, and cultivation of personal power.”
For those former senior executives who secretly manipulated the political situation behind the scenes, Xi also has a way. On February 5, 2016, the authorities issued the “Opinions on Further Strengthening and Improving the Work of Retired Cadres”, requiring retired cadres and party members to “in terms of ideology, politics, and action” be consistent with Xi Jinping. At the same time, the management of retired senior officials mentioned, “Establishing a sense of discipline and rules, and checking and accepting political discipline and political rules.”
Propaganda after the Sixth Plenary Session is abnormal
With the CCP’s Party Disciplinary Regulations and the CCP’s “Organizational Handling Regulations (for Trial Implementation)”, as well as restrictions on retired party officials, Xi Jinping can’t rest assured, so this year the “National Conference on Intra-Party Laws and Regulations” came on the scene.
This is clearly to prevent the opposition from appearing in the party for a period of time, so as to ensure that Xi Jinping will not be in trouble.
The Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China just opened in November of this year, and the so-called third historical resolution of the CCP was released, which re-divided the history of the party into three generations. Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao were merged into one period, while Xi Jinping became a “new era.” “The first generation of leaders of “, and all parties believe that this is paving the way for Xi Jinping to further establish the “scheduled one” and the tenure of twenty Dalian.
However, the release of this historical resolution will inevitably be filled with compromises and transactions among parties within the party. Whether Xi Jinping has completely settled the opposition forces has yet to be confirmed. Because despite the resolution of the Sixth Plenary Session, Xi was placed in a very prominent position. On the surface, Xi Jinping has been esteemed as the first-generation leader of the “new era.” In the routine stances of the Party and State members after the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, some abnormalities occurred.
After the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communist Party media successively published articles by Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Liu He, Vice Premier of the State Council, Jiang Jinquan, Director of the Central Policy Research Office, and Shen Haixiong, Vice Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee. These articles all put Xi in the most prominent position.
However, on December 9, the “People’s Daily” published an article “Reform and Opening Up is a Great Awakening of the Party” by Qu Qingshan, Dean of the Central Party History and Documentation Research Institute. Among them, Deng Xiaoping was mentioned nine times, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao each once, praising them for their major contributions to “reform and opening up”, but Xi Jinping was not mentioned once.
On December 15th, the CCP Military Daily published the article “Being Bravely Glittering Cadres”. The characters mentioned were: Deng Xiaoping, Song Renqiong, Liu Bocheng, Xu Xiangqian, etc., and the current Central Military Commission Chairman Xi Jinping was also not mentioned.
According to the CCP’s political practice, the number of times the leader’s name is not displayed is a sensitive signal. No matter how some CCP’s foreign propaganda media release such unusual articles and find explanations for party media and military media, it will inevitably trigger the association that Xi Jinping’s status in the party is still variable and anti-Xi forces are ready to move.
“Definitely in One” can hardly cover the turbulent undercurrent
Zhongnanhai after the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is somewhat like the situation after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2017: on the surface, Xi is “set in one”, but in fact, the undercurrent is raging.
According to Xi Jinping’s speech at the Central Disciplinary Commission’s Plenary Session in January 2018, which was made public for the first time by the Chinese Communist Party’s official media on June 29 this year, Xi said: “There was noise in the party. The focus is on the development of democracy within the party.” This is a “fantastic argument”, and some people have “ulterior motives.”
The time when Xi said these remarks was shortly after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, indicating that there were still some opposition to Xi’s power position in the party at that time.
Now that Xi Jinping is seeking re-election at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he has not arranged successors as usual, and the resentment in the party caused may become a dangerous factor. Xi Jinping has recently continued to emphasize the need to protect political security. In fact, he must first protect his own security.
Among them, in the CCP system, the public security system is known as the party’s “knife”. It has always been a political stability maintenance machine, suppressing the people internally, but under the special political climate of intensified power struggle within the party, it will also threaten the rulers themselves. For example, Sun Lijun, the former deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, who was expelled from the party and from public office on September 30, was notified that he was involved in “extremely expanded political ambitions”, “group control of vital departments”, and “seriously endangering political security.”
Sun Lijun was once the great secret of Meng Jianzhu. What exactly his “ambition” is is still a mystery.
Recently, Xi’s confidant and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Public Security Wang Xiaohong was promoted to the position of Secretary of the Party Committee, and the power has been expanded again, which should be related to strengthening the protection of Xi Jinping.
Another worry of Xi: “Dangers are everywhere” for the party state
Looking back on Xi Jinping’s instructions to the “National Conference on Intra-Party Laws and Regulations” yesterday, he asked to help the regulations to protect the party’s long-term governance. It also revealed another hidden worry of Xi, that is, he knows this old party that has just passed a century. , Crisis is everywhere, in fact, it has been precarious, withdrawing from history at any time.
As early as June 24, before the CCP’s “Party Founding Day,” on July 1, 2019, Xi Jinping warned at the CCP’s Politburo meeting that the danger of “shaking the party’s foundation” was everywhere, and “small problems would change. A big problem and a small piping will become a big cave-in.”
Xi Jinping’s statement that “danger is everywhere” is undoubtedly a disguised “warning of the death of the party.”
On December 29, 2019, the pro-Communist overseas media published an interview with Fang Ning, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Institute of Political Science of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, talking about the crisis of the party’s death. Fang Ning does not deny that the CCP will die, he believes that the historical cycle law exists. He specifically mentioned that the previous party leaders of the Chinese Communist Party have emphasized the issue of the death of the party, “but this problem is more prominent now”, “at least the current supreme leader has a strong sense of crisis.”
