In China, the absolute power of Xi Jinping was challenged

Like any self-respecting dictator, Xi Jinping is convinced that whoever holds the party controls the country. The facts have long since proven him right. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) with its 96 million members (about one in twelve adults) has unparalleled efficiency in the world, and is virtually present in the smallest neighborhood, in the most modest projects of this continental nation. They are chosen from among the best pupils and students, and its members form a technocratic elite that runs the country on Beijing’s orders.

In Xi Jinping’s dream world, CCP knows what is good for people, because it comes from it, and because it makes the right decisions, people are grateful for it. One of the phrases he uttered during the 19^e PCC Conference, in 2017, in short, one could not have done better, his idea: Party, state, military affairs, civil affairs, education, east, west, south, north, middle, the party rules everything. » He delivered his speech on October 16 at the 20th inauguration^e Congress is just as wonderful. Criticizing his predecessors is infinitely more important than managing Covid-19.

Hizb is mentioned over 140 times, far more than any other term. Likewise, the day after the conference, Xi Jinping did not go to a place that symbolizes China in 2022 to meet his people there. He preferred to take the other six CCP leaders deeper into Shaanxi, where, from 1935 to 1949, Mao bided his time, in an area that became a communist place of pilgrimage. Far from the China of tomorrow but also today which suffers from zero covid policy, unemployment and bankrupt real estate developers.

Power isolates and absolute power isolates absolutely. Nothing illustrates this better than the protests against the zero covid policy in recent weeks and against the dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party in recent days. When Xi Jinping inspects a province – the Communist leader does not “visit” No Him “to examine” -, everything is so arranged that he does not experience any dissatisfaction.

All the evils of China come from abroad

A regional teacher recently recounted how one evening, around 10 p.m., her principal called all the teachers to be present in the morning from 7 a.m. due to “an important event”. The next day, each teacher, accompanied by a policeman, had to go to an area in his city to order everyone to close their windows and stay away. I still don’t know the reason for these strange instructions. Only a few hours later I realized that Xi Jinping was up to it “to examine” places and meet some handpicked locals.
