[The Epoch Times, December 25, 2023](Epoch Times reporters Ning Haizhong and Luo Ya interviewed and reported) The Chinese Communist Party authorities have only emphasized “centralized and unified leadership” in recent years. The recent Politburo meeting suddenly reiterated “democratic centralism”. Party leader Xi Jinping Politburo members are required to truthfully report the situation to the Central Committee. Experts said that because of Xi’s personal dictatorship, his subordinates, Xi Jinping, reported false news in order to protect themselves. Faced with the political chaos, Xi was very angry. This situation shows that the CCP regime has reached a dead end.
According to the Xinhua News Agency of the Communist Party of China, from December 21st to 22nd, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China held a “special democratic life meeting” to study “Xi Thought”. Xi Jinping presided over the meeting and once again asked members of the Political Bureau to “maintain a high degree of unity with the Party Central Committee” and “uphold the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee.”
However, Xi later emphasized “democratic centralism” and asked members of the Politburo to take the lead in “promoting intra-party democracy” and “reflecting the real situation learned in a timely, objective and comprehensive manner” and “cannot just report good news and not worry.” wait.
Xi asks Politburo members to report truth, experts say the CCP regime has reached a dead end
Wang He, an expert on China issues, told The Epoch Times on December 25 that the CCP’s power pyramid from the Central Committee, the Politburo to the Politburo Standing Committee has Xi as the core, and Xi must ensure that he has the final say. But he is too busy alone. These members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee are all his Xi family troops, and they are not helping now. Faced with this year’s political chaos, Xi was very annoyed: “You 23 members of the Politburo, are you working seriously? Do you have other motives?”
Wang He believes that it is obvious that after the 20th National Congress, new hidden conflicts have emerged among the top leaders of the CCP. Xi’s instructions showed that members of the Politburo were reporting false news.
“You (Xi) have the final say, so what should we do? If we say different opinions to make you unhappy, it will not benefit us. So why do we say it? I will say something nice to you.”
Wang He said that it was precisely because of many actual situations below that members of the Politburo did not report to him at all, so Xi Jinping criticized them at this meeting. But because Xi Jinping is the only one in power, if the subordinates directly report problems to Xi, they will be scolded. Therefore, no one wants to expose their true thoughts and no one wants to take risks.
“So the entire leadership center of the CCP is suffering from nervous confusion and dysfunction. The situation reported to Xi Jinping is that the situation is very good, but the actual situation is very bad. Xi Jinping’s one-man dictatorship has brought the entire high-level operation into a dead end.”
Analysis: Xi uses life to humiliate subordinates
Regarding Xi Jinping’s so-called democratic centralism, Wang He said that the so-called democratic centralism practiced by the CCP cannot be reflected in democracy, and it is all decided by Xi Jinping alone. Xi asked everyone to criticize and self-criticize, but he himself did not criticize or self-criticize. Mao Zedong did the same back then.
“He controls others. Xi Jinping wants to tame everyone in this way, which means destroying all your personal dignity. He uses this method to humiliate those Politburo members.”
But Wang He said that those who have been able to become members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China are all people with political ambitions. Although they are Xi’s cronies, in his eyes, they are all potential two-faced people. Xi wants them to be consistent with him and tell the truth at the same time, which is difficult to achieve.
“The current political situation in China has the potential to get out of control, because the gap between the policies introduced and the reality is too big. The situation is so chaotic that no one can come up with a solution. It has been nearly a year since the new team of the State Council came to power. The Political Bureau of the 20th National Congress of the CPC Central Committee It’s been more than a year since I came to power and the situation is in a mess.”
The official press release stated that at this Politburo’s “Democratic Life Meeting”, “the atmosphere was serious and lively.”
In this regard, Wang He said that the official media reports were just whitewashing. In fact, Xi Jinping must have scolded his cronies at the meeting: “I finally elected you and entrusted you with important tasks. How did you repay me? One is to give you I reported false news and didn’t tell me the real situation. Besides, you can’t solve the actual problem. Aren’t you having second thoughts about me? Aren’t you two-faced people?” So Xi Jinping is very angry now. He must be humiliating these people and scolding them. It’s bloody bloody. But after scolding him, Xi Jinping was still afraid that they would rebel, so he had to take some measures to control them.
The Politburo of the Communist Party of China (CCP) once again mentioned “democratic centralism” after several years, sparking speculation
It is worth noting that in recent years, the Chinese Communist Party authorities have only emphasized “centralized and unified leadership.” This Politburo meeting suddenly reiterated “democratic centralism.”
Xi Jinping officially became the core of the party at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October 2017. At the Third Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee on February 28, 2018, Xi declared that “emphasis on upholding the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership does not mean that democratic centralism is abandoned.” The two are “not contradictory” and so on. This speech, which is suspected to be the end of “democratic centralism”, was published by the Communist Party of China Party Journal in 2019.
However, the Xinhua News Agency of the Communist Party of China published for the first time on June 29, 2021, Xi Jinping’s speech at the plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in January 2018. Xi said at the time: There were noises within the party. Some people said that “the emphasis on the party’s centralization and unity is sufficient, and in the future we must focus on developing intra-party democracy.” This was a “bizarre talk” and some people had “ulterior motives.”
Since then, drafts of high-level CCP meetings issued by party media in recent years have always emphasized “centralized and unified leadership” and rarely mentioned “democratic centralism.”
The authorities once again mentioned “democratic centralism” after many years. Some people believe that this may reveal that Xi Jinping’s authority within the party has been damaged.
Independent commentator Cai Shenkun published an article on the Whether doubts and challenges come from within the party or from all levels of society, or whether they are public or private, Xi Jinping and his cronies clearly feel it.”
Han Lianchao, a former official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China, wrote in Yes, people who are personally promoted cannot be trusted either.
The CCP is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, the domestic economy is in depression, and public dissatisfaction is boiling. At this Politburo meeting, Xi declared that it is necessary to maintain a “high degree of political acumen” and “prevent non-political risks from turning into political risks” and so on.
Cai Xia, a former professor at the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China who lives in the United States, said in The committee members carry it together and die together.”
