The Chinese president’s year-end speech was astonishing. Could another strife befall the world?
A Xinhua News Agency In his year-end speech translated into English by Chinese President Xi Jinping, he addressed the nation, urging “all Chinese people living on both sides of the Taiwan Strait”, that “let them have a common goal and share in the glory of the renewal of the Chinese nation”, also in view of the 75th anniversary of the birth of the People’s Republic, which falls in 2024.
In less than two weeks, on January 13, the island will elect a new president and renew the parliament. Xi struck a harsher tone than in his speech a year ago, when he called the Chinese and Taiwanese “for members of a family” called it. After the president’s speech, the spokesperson of China’s Taiwan Affairs Office introduced William Lai, the current Vice President of Taiwan and the candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party “a staunch worker for Taiwan independence and a destroyer of peace across the Taiwan Strait” declared.
Hsi reminded that “there are several conflicts currently taking place in the world”, and repeated that China “wishes to cooperate with the international community for the common good of humanity”. Xinhua also reported that Xi sent a year-end greeting message to Vladimir Putin, in which the Chinese president emphasized that “in the face of changes unseen in a century and volatile international and regional situations, Sino-Russian relations have always maintained a healthy and stable development, and in 2023 they have continuously moved in the right direction”.
“Hope is peaceful coexistence” With China. This was stated by the President of Taiwan, adding that “maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the responsibility of both sides”. In his year-end speech, Chinese President Xi Jinping also stated that it belongs to Taiwan “reunification is historically inevitable”.
Regarding the domestic situation, Xi argued that following Covid, the Chinese economy “continues to grow”and “more flexible and dynamic”. And the boom – it is “despite the headwind on the way” – It will continue in 2024.
He then addressed the youths whom he assured that the government will work to “give them the opportunity for a successful career”. For China, youth unemployment is a serious socio-economic problem: in June, 21.4 percent of young people between the ages of 16 and 24 were unemployed. Since then, it is not known how the situation is, since the government has not released more recent data. The absurd idea of the Chinese state is that if there is no unemployment data, then there is no unemployment. At the end of May, Xi encouraged the Chinese youth to “feed on bitterness”this expression suggests that they are able to persevere in the face of life’s difficulties and can even forge satisfaction out of suffering.
