BEIJING, China – Leaders of the world’s most challenging political party will gather in Beijing on Monday, October 24 for a repositioning of the conclave in the process of Chinese history.
In meetings at the exclusive Jingxi Hotel, with no prying eyes, the virtuous best friend, four thousand high-ranking members of the Chinese Communist Party, will be delivered for four days, discussing changes in the control of the giant party.
The meeting, according to the official Xinhua news service, will have the difficulty of “party discipline”.
Dry rhetoric obscures what could well be a fierce, high-risk war for the world’s second-largest economy.
The Sixth Plenary, like the meeting, comes at a time when the party, which has more than 88 million members, is facing an era of tectonic change.
Since taking office in 2012, Secretary-General Xi Jinping has ceded his will and taken more levers of strength than Apple’s leader since Mao Zedong.
And his anti-corruption crusade has devastated the party’s organization chart, bringing down undoubtedly invincible fortresses like former security tsar Zhou Yongkang, and paralyzing small bureaucrats driving through the country in fear.
Xi described the party as a “magic weapon” that is also used to implement the bureaucracy that succeeded in its goal of “wonderful rejuvenation” of the Chinese nation, a concept he describes as the “Chinese dream.”
But attempts to curb sclera state-owned enterprises, which are strategic sectors of the economy and are sponsorship resources for challenging politicians, have met with strong resistance to entrenched interests.
“This reboutance has come to nothing in the last 3 years,” said Anthobig apple Saich, a Chinese politics professional at Harvard University.
“Clearly, Xi sees the party as the only vehicle capable of advancing the bureaucracy. He does not accept that it is true with society or the state to move forward with the bureaucracy he wants.”
At the meeting, he added, “there may be battles between those who revel in Xi and those who suffer negatively from the anti-corruption crusade and the possibility of additional public sector reforms.”
Anti-corruption campaign
For Xi, the party field means more than just cutting off the bad habit through executives.
“He was very ambitious in capturing power, to grab power,” said Willy Lam, a Chinese expert at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
The “main motivation” for a new Apple rule in the plenary was to “consolidate The (Xi’s) position as a broad boss,” he said.
He added that a number of steps were taken to bring party members to Xi’s line, adding bans on those guilty of making “unfounded criticism.”
“Only one user in the party, Xi Jinping, has to define the political rules,” Lam added.
The assembly comes amid increasing speculation that Xi may also seek to reassert its validity after 2022, when it is expected to resign after two terms.
Such a move would be “an incredibly difficult proposition, as it would create serious friction among China’s political elite,” the president of the Mercator Institute for Chinese Studies, Sebastian Heilmann, wrote in a study note.
Xi may also be President of China, but derives his strength from his position in the Communist Party.
He will capture the plenary as an opportunity to “his position as leader and the basis of his strength in force,” according to Mao Shoulong, a professor at Renmin University in Beijing.
The anti-corruption crusade has seen “advances” in untouchable areas, he said.
But its effectiveness may have conversely weakened the party Xi hopes to save, according to a Friday editorial about the Sixth Plenum posted on the web site of “Seeking Truth”, an important party journal.
The crusade disciplined many thousands of members and, in the process, “highlighted the universality and seriousness of the force party’s corruption,” he said, a revelation that “seriously weakened the rules of the party’s strength and its ability to govern.”
Critics say the momentum has been used to combat internal movements and, in the absence of systemic reforms, the fundamental reasons for the graft are not noticed.
Hu Xingdou, an expert governor of China at the Beijing Institute of Technology, hoped that the assembly would introduce and enforce regulations to make party members more accountable and transparent, such as a country-wide asset registry.
“There have been regulations in the past, but none have been applied,” he said.
This time he said: “I look forward to passing in the public of outreach assets.
“Only in this way can they earn the respect of the whole nation.” – Rappler.com
