RETHINKING - OCTOBER 12TH, 2022 - COMMUNIST CHINESE CONGRESS

Today, The Wall Street Journal posted a special column about the current congress of the Chinese Communist Party.

The column written by Kevin Rudd was titled "Security, Not Growth, Is Xi’s Focus."

Mr. Rudd starts saying that Mr. Xi "is likely to rebalance Beijing’s strategic priorities at next week’s 20th Party Congress."

"The National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, held every five years, formally appoints the 25-member Politburo and its seven-member standing committee. The names of those elevated to senior positions have been of deep significance to China watchers since 1982, when Deng Xiaoping launched the era of 'reform and opening.'”

"The 20th Congress, which gets under way Oct. 16, will be different. There’s only one appointment that matters now: Xi Jinping, China’s Chairman of Everything. The delegates will reappoint Mr. Xi to a third five-year term as general secretary by a vote of 2,296 to 0. "

MY OPINION

My opinion posted in the blogger section of the WSJ Online for the community members.

1) In international politics, the Chinese government is synonymous with the Chinese Communist Party.

2) President Xi is today the top leader of China. The dissidents are in jail or dead.

3) Communists educate kids to be communists. They carve their brains with communist prototypes. (This last opinion was answering to another member of the WSJ Community who believes that not everybody in power is communist.)
