The incorporation of “two institutions, two protections” into the party’s constitution is likely
The Communist Party Politburo Standing Committee, which constitutes the supreme leadership of China, is emphasizing the establishment of the central position of President Xi Jinping, announcing the “Xi Jinping One Person Era” through the immediate revision of the Party Constitution.
According to the People’s Daily, the Chinese Communist Party’s official newspaper on the 18th, six permanent members, including Li Keqiang, Li Zhansu, Wangyang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji and Han Han, attended the provincial delegation held on the 17th, second day of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party, all in the discussion emphasized ‘two institutions’ (兩個 確立) and ‘two protections’ (兩個 維護), which symbolize Xi’s authority.
The “institution of the two” refers to Xi’s establishment of “the central position of the Party” and the “leading position of Xi Jinping’s ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics in a new era”, while the “two protections “refers to the establishment of the central position of the Party Central Committee, together with the position of President Xi, who is the core of the Party. It means protecting authority and leadership
Both concepts are measures aimed at strengthening and concentrating Xi’s power.
Prime Minister Li Keqiang said during a debate with the Gansu delegation: “We must hold up the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics and fully implement Xi Jinping’s idea of socialism with Chinese characteristics in a new era.”
“We must unite and fight for the full construction of a modernized socialist state and for the large-scale promotion of the great awakening of the Chinese nation,” he added.
Li Zhansu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Assembly (NPC), which ranks third in the Communist Party, also met with a delegation from Sichuan province and said: “The establishment of two is the most political achievement. important from the 18th generation of the party (the 2012 party congress where Xi Jinping was launched). It is a political approval check that drives business and goes from win to win. “
In addition, Chairman Wang Yang of the People’s Political Consultative Conference (CCP), Wang Huning, secretary of the Communist Party Central Secretariat, Zhao Leji, secretary of the Central Discipline Committee, and Deputy Prime Minister Han Han met with the delegations. respectively of the Autonomous Region of Xi Trang (Tibet), the Province of Guizhou, the Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia and the Province of Hainan, underlining “two institutions” and “two protections”.
They also argued that establishing the leadership position of Xi Jinping Thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era was of decisive importance in advancing the historical process of development of the Party and state work and the great awakening of the Chinese nation.
Of the seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee who make up China’s supreme leadership, all six except Xi have decided to establish Xi’s central position.
In an interview with the delegation of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region the day before, President Xi spoke of the difficulties he has faced over the past decade and the current difficulties of the international situation, but did not comment on his position.
As a result, it is highly likely that “two institutions” and “two guardians”, referring to Xi’s key positions, will be immediately included.
Furthermore, political and ideological work to theoretically support Xi’s long-term reign is expected to be done at the party congress.
Earlier, Hong Kong Myungbo, who was rated as a news expert on China’s political price, recently reported that the 20th Party Congress is very likely to immediately include “establish two” and “two caps” in the amendments.
