The west and EU may above opinions on Xi Jinping's leadership in China or the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), However we must acknowledge his command and influence on the history of the modern world. Some of the things they do are bad, very bad, but there are also good and spectacular things and collectively everything within the Chinese national interest.
This is observe when analysing China on the occasion of its 70th anniversary. The New York Times scrutinized the issue while covering an event in Xinjiang recently visited by Xi Jinping. The Chinese leader paid tribute to the 130,000 soldiers who gave their lives to save the 'Red Heritage'. However, being very diplomatic he kept maintained silence about the one million farm labourers who died of the hunger in the aftermath of Mao's Great Leap Forward.
According to the New York Times, this was an attempt to glorify the confusing 70-year history of the People's Republic of China. Xi paid tribute to Mao Tse-tung, the founder of the People's Republic of China, in his speech, bypassing mention of everyone else, including Deng Xiaoping, and commenting directly on the present situation.
This chain of events is of course are very distracting and a bit confusing. Thirty years out of 70 years witnessed the bloodshed of the Revolution and the Great Cultural Revolution of the working class (Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (GPCR), The Great Leap Forward, the Great Drought and Mao's Dark Legacy.
Practically, since Deng Xiaoping's grip on power was tightened, the path that China has followed has helped alleviate the country's decades of poverty and made China a global workshop and factory. According to Keu Jin, China became modern under Mao. Promising infrastructure development such as "Local and national energy grids have been established, industrial capacity has been strengthened, and human capacity has become more crucial as capital," she said. The Chinese literacy rate reached 66 percent, and by 1980 the life expectancy was 64 years. (At that time, the percentage in India was 40 and 54, respectively, and in 1949 it was the same for both countries.) The fact is that, despite its success, China is still a country that has made moderate progress.
While China is pursuing policies to promote growth based on purchasing power, modern innovation and to break out of the middle-income trap, although it is facing internal and external challenges. Internally to China, the ideology of the leader who puts himself in Mao's mold has a great influence in the country. As promised at the Third Conference of the 18th Party Congress, this has hampered the development of the entire market economy.
US policy to Discredit China
Apparently on the economic front, the US is lagging behind China's performance. The United States is taking great care that China does not have access to modern technology and markets so that Beijing does not sit in the ranks of developed countries with the latest technology. Indeed, US policy is inclined on discrediting China. This will force the US to completely isolate its economy framework from Republic of China. It would be a massive and unreliable strategy that could destroy global economic infrastructure for a very long time.
On the eve of the 70th anniversary celebrations, China released a white paper entitled "China and the World in a New Era". "Multilateralism, economic globalisation, cultural diversity and information technology" are discussed in detail manner. At the same time, it says, "deep-rooted problems are becoming apparent all over the world." Talking about China's performance and its growing "all-encompassing national strength", he dismissed the notion that China, like other powers, would "try to dominate." It says that it is inappropriate for any country to impose its own model on others, and "the question of forcibly overthrowing the governments and political systems of other nations." The most important statement made was that the Republic of China did not "disintegrate" because of "centralised, integrated and strong leadership."
The appearance of China on its 70th anniversary began when Xi Jinping took over the presidency in 2012. At that time, he had promised "great rejuvenation" and "China Dream" to the Chinese masses. After coming to power, he cracked down on corruption in order to consolidate his power by punishing the leaders of the CPC and the PLA. He also cracked down on protesters and targeted rebel activists and human rights advocates.
Xi is the supreme leader today, the president of the Communist Party of China and is literally omniscient. All power is in his hands and he has removed the limits of his tenure as the country's president. He was declared the 'Chief Leader' in 2016 with unprecedented powers in the Politburo Standing Committee. In 2017, at the CPC's 19th party congress, it was announced that Xi's political ideology, along with that of Mao and Deng, would be the party's guiding principles.
Xi's greatest achievement was the military reforms he made. Despite their loyalty to the military, these reforms have made the Chinese military more modern and professional. The strength of the PLA (Public Liberation Army) has been reduced and the Air Force and Navy in service are being strengthened. At the same time, the entire military front was transformed into a theater command. The main attraction of China's 70th anniversary celebrations, of course, was the grand military parade in Beijing. The operation included unprecedented demonstrations of power, including new missiles, drones, fighter jets and other equipment.
It includes DF41 ICBM missiles with ten re-entry (MIRV) vehicles capable of hitting any part of the United States, DF-17 with missiles, hypersonic glide vehicles capable of defending missiles and DF 100 Hyperion operating at a range of 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers. These included cruise missiles. Also on display were the supersonic drone WZ8 and the large underwater drone UUV.
In addition to the new hardware, there are many armoured vehicles, gyrocopters, warship air defense systems, SAM's, telecommunications and EW vehicles, hypersonic and cruise missiles, DF26 missiles (Guam Killer) and JL2 submarine-launched missiles. About 40 percent of the equipment were displayed for the first time. J20A stealth fighters, H6 bombers, Z8 and Z10 helicopters soaring into the sky also seemed to be China's impressive air power.
Not only did the world worry about what was on display, but China is also in the race to be able to fight the "war of the future mechanical intelligence" based on its mastery of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, big data and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Despite the display of weapons, Xi's message was introspective, urging Chinese citizens to remain united and continue the struggle for the 'Chinese dream' in contrary to the "American dream" in the west. Although he mentioned that "peaceful reunification" was the ultimate goal, his insistence that China would maintain a "one country, two systems" approach to Beijing, Hong Kong and Macau was underlined. Carrie Lam, Hong Kong's chief executive, witnessed the protests in Beijing, at the same time as reports of large-scale protests in Hong Kong.
