Why does Xi Jinping engage in high-ranking officials’ performance reporting? The core highlights of the Two Sessions: Fear is overwhelming; returning to classic dictatorship routines, will the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee not be held?

[The Epoch Times, March 02, 2024]The annual Two Sessions of the Communist Party of China will be held in Beijing next week. Before the two sessions, an unprecedented fear is permeating the CCP officialdom from top to bottom. The CCP must not only face the unprecedented crisis that has emerged in more than three decades, but also continue to strengthen the unified system of party-based government, and also find a way out for the future. Faced with this almost impossible task, Beijing What will be the choice? In addition, news came out that the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which has been closely watched by the outside world, has been held secretly and low-key. Some people also said that the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China will not be held. Xi Jinping has broken another major rule within the party. What direction will China take in the future? Where may the breaking point of Chinese society appear amid crises?
Three highlights of the two sessions: Economic collapse and unprecedented personnel purges to maintain stability.
Lai Jianping, a Chinese human rights lawyer living in Canada, said in NTDTV’s “Elite Forum” program that I think there are three highlights of this year’s Two Sessions.
The first one is regarding the economic aspect. In terms of the economy, I think it can be roughly described in sixteen words, a state called “economic collapse, dire straits, widespread suffering, and terrible misery.” The so-called “stock market, housing market, and bond market, the market crashed; A shares, B shares, and H shares, stocks went downhill.” Although the CCP has taken various measures and tried many times, it is at the end of its rope and unable to make a comeback. We can see that starting from last year, the CCP has actually become so anxious that it has sent the Ministry of State Security to use the power of the Ministry of State Security to threaten people. If you badmouth the Chinese economy, you will be arrested.
China’s current economy is in such bad shape and is on the verge of collapse. The root cause lies in politics. The stock market is a barometer of the economy, and the economy is a barometer of politics. The root cause of politics lies in Xi Jinping’s personal dictatorship and perverse behavior. As long as Xi Jinping’s role does not change, the entire country’s political mission will be to maintain one-party dictatorship and one-man dictatorship. Then it is impossible for him to let go of the economy and return to the path of reform and opening up.
The second point to look at is the personnel aspect. The personnel struggle within the Communist Party is still raging. This time it was reported that Qin Gang had resigned as a deputy to the National People’s Congress. Many people therefore said that the original rumor that Qin Gang might have been tortured, committed suicide, or was given death was probably a rumor, but now it has been broken. But I don’t think so, because the CCP system has always been full of shady affairs. The media saying that Qin Gang resigned does not mean that he is still alive, nor does it mean that he actually resigned. The Communist Party can produce any kind of false information to deceive you and deceive public opinion. So even though Qin Gang was resigned, are his people actually dead or alive? This is unknown.
We know that 24 National People’s Congress deputies were terminated in the past year, and only two of them were the so-called cause of death. The remaining 22 were the result of purges, including ten senior military generals. many. This shows that there is an anti-Xi force within the CCP system. Xi Jinping’s perverse behavior has made it difficult for many people in the system to survive and cope with it. They feel that the ship is regarding to hit the rocks, so some people have a sense of anxiety. They are dissatisfied with Xi Jinping’s personal dictatorship, so they want to resist to some extent. This is why the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was not held this time, and why it has been repeatedly emphasized recently that it is necessary to strengthen the party’s leadership and even reaffirm Xi Jinping’s core leadership status. It should be emphasized that all current principles and policies are personally planned, deployed and promoted by Xi Jinping.
The third thing to watch is that the authorities will work harder than ever to maintain stability, because the Communist Party’s dictatorship, one-party dictatorship, and personal dictatorship has now reached an extremely dangerous level. We can see that in recent years, the resistance among the people and within the system has been growing, and the anger and resentment of the people has reached the level of endangering the one-party dictatorship of the Communist Party. Therefore, it must strengthen absolute security measures before and following the meeting. Starting in 2021, the CCP has introduced the so-called Data Security Law; in April last year and in September it revised the Anti-Espionage Law and the Public Security Management Punishment Law respectively; just a few days ago this year, the CCP revised the so-called Secrecy Law. All these things actually serve a common purpose, which is to absolutely strengthen and maintain the CCP’s authoritarian rule. As the Two Sessions are an important meeting period for the Communist Party, it will definitely use unprecedented intensity to strengthen prevention and suppression.
The Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China will not be held?Xi Jinping is well versed in the old dictatorial tactics
Shi Shan, senior editor and chief writer of The Epoch Times, said in the “Elite Forum” that the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has always been mainly responsible for deciding economic policies. Generally speaking, following the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the government needs to make some adjustments during the Two Sessions. Some tasks are assigned, so generally the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee must be held before the Two Sessions. Someone called me recently and said that the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China might have been held secretly. Of course, generally speaking, the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee is not allowed to be held secretly, because the most important thing regarding the so-called plenum is to embody the so-called democratic centralism and collective compromise. Different Central Committee members represent various voices, and then Everyone discusses it inside. However, now it seems that there is no need for various parties to discuss it. One person can make the decision, personally make decisions, personally execute, personally supervise, personally deploy, etc. Therefore, he does not need the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee and directly deploys at the Two Sessions.
Lai Jianping said in the “Elite Forum” that the reason why the Communist Party is called autocracy is that autocracy means doing whatever it wants and having no rules. It can break the rules it sets itself at any time. It turns out that in the so-called reform and opening up of the Communist Party, Deng Xiaoping formed a set of so-called abolition of lifelong leadership positions, implementation of term limits, seven tops and eight bottoms, seven dragons, nine dragons, water control, etc. Xi Jinping amends the constitution to break the lifelong system, and he can break this democratic centralism. He has now shifted from belonging to one party to belonging to one person in China, and all these members of the Politburo Standing Committee have become his retainers. So in this case, for such an autocratic rule, it is the best way not to hold the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee. Because if you hold a plenary meeting, everything will be put on the table. If there is no meeting, there will be no need to discuss any issues, and others will not even have a chance to focus.
The Communist Party has not held a party congress twice before for more than ten years. It should be that from 1945 to 1956, there was no meeting between the Seventh and Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China; from 1956 to 1969, there was no party congress for 13 years, which meant that Mao Zedong was able to dominate the world with one hand. Not having a meeting is the best dictatorial method. One person has the final say on everything. Therefore, I think that if Xi Jinping does not convene the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, except that he himself has something to hide, it is difficult to introduce some policies and measures, or it is difficult to reach a compromise. In addition to this, the most important thing for him is that he wishes he would never hold a plenum in the future. All the rules and party congress rules have been broken, which is best for him, so this is the fundamental manifestation of dictatorship.
Xi Jinping’s fear is overwhelming: China’s pressure cooker might explode at any time
“The Epoch Times” editor-in-chief Guo Jun said in the “Elite Forum” that a recent report written by Pierre-Antoine Donnet, the former director of the Central Editorial Department of AFP, is very close to China. The article said that China is a pressure cooker that can explode at any time.
Guo Jun said that China’s current political and economic problems are very serious, but this is not the most important, because all countries have upward cycles and downward cycles. No one can rise forever. The key issue is to be able to avoid the downward cycle. social collapse. To paraphrase a Chinese entrepreneur, when the wind blows, pigs can fly. The implicit meaning is that when the wind blows, the pigs will definitely fall to death, but the eagle will continue to be in the sky.
The problem now is that China has been flying in strong winds for the past 40 years. Now that the wind has stopped, whether you will fall to death or continue to fly depends on whether you choose to be a pig or an eagle. The problem with the Communist Party is that the core of the operation of the system is political power, and everything revolves around this political power. The personal power of the leader and the power of the party are the greatest interests, while the interests of the country, the nation and the common people are ranked very low. Therefore, many policies of the CCP may seem unreasonable to ordinary people, or may seem unreasonable using basic logic and common sense, but when viewed within the logic of the CCP, they are necessary and inevitable. So China has many ridiculous policies and ridiculous measures. For example, regarding economic issues, everyone knows that enterprises are the most critical and entrepreneurs are the most critical. Isn’t there an article in Shanghai that said the important issue is decentralization and letting go? Doesn’t the CCP know this? Of course they know, but they also know that they cannot delegate power. If they continue to delegate power, the political status of the Communist Party will be in question.
Guo Jun said that from a macro perspective of social development, social power is composed of three parts: violence, wealth and knowledge. The more primitive the social form, the greater the weight and proportion of social violence. When the CCP begins reform and opening up, the center of power will definitely transition towards wealth and knowledge. According to this direction, a new balance of power will gradually be formed. If the country and society are to continue to maintain sustained and healthy development, violence needs to be allowed to The weight naturally decreases. But what we have seen in the past few years is the process of the Communist Party re-gathering its power at the expense of wiping out personal wealth and wiping out new knowledge. So there was the elimination of capitalists and a purge of speech and thought. This is the pig’s choice, not the eagle’s. From another perspective, because humans are not pigs, there will definitely be resistance under such high pressure. In this way, social conflicts and pressure will inevitably become greater and greater. The CCP will only continue to impose high pressure, and the result can only be social contradictions. big Bang.
Guo Jun said: I think Xi Jinping’s personal fear is overwhelming, and the more failed and unfinished his personally launched policies are, the greater this fear will be. Recently, Beijing has launched a campaign for high-ranking officials to report on their work. All officials at or above the Politburo level and officials at or above the deputy state level must report their work to Xi Jinping in writing. The core content of the work report is two political safeguards, namely safeguarding Xi Jinping’s authority and safeguarding the authority of the central government. Basically, it is an act of personal loyalty to Xi Jinping. In addition, one year following the current State Council took office, at least six ministerial-level officials have been dismissed. This has never been seen before and is extremely abnormal. This is all a projection of personal fears.
Lai Jianping said in the “Elite Forum” that the explosion of conflicts in Chinese society will occur in two groups. Part of them are the people at the bottom, because many of the people at the bottom really can’t survive. Many small businesses are facing the trend of bankruptcy. Now the economic situation is so bad, the whole situation has shrunk, social wealth and the economic situation have shrunk, so many small businesses Business owners have no way to survive. For the disadvantaged groups at the bottom, they are even worse. This group of people who cannot maintain the simplest daily life may take to the streets following reaching a certain level.
There is also a certain level of intellectual elites or business and political elites within the system. This group of people still have some feelings, some ideals, and some sense of dignity and assertion of personal freedom. So under the current high pressure, their free space has been too compressed, and they are worried regarding the future of the country and the nation. Therefore, following the economy further declines and the Communist Party further tightens its grip on dictatorship, this group of people also have Might come forward. If these two types of people can be combined, the Communist Party’s authoritarian rule may be unsustainable, and a scene like the “89 June 4th” when tens of thousands of people took to the streets may happen once more.
