Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to push through historical resolution at the meeting of the Main Communist Party next week, strengthening his authority and inheritance and strengthening his case for the third term starting next year.
Resolution on the “important achievement and historical experience of the 100-year party struggle” will be discussed and almost certainly ratified by the Central Committee of Communist Party members who have been in power when they meet with November 8-11 for the sixth and second plenary from behind the term five years.
“This resolution is the next step by XI to consolidate strength and lay the foundation for the third term,” said Chaohui, who lectured political science at Peking University.
The so-called “historical resolution”, the text that has not been released, will only be the third, with two previously submitted during the ranks of the ranks of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.
While Mao and Deng use such resolutions for the party to reflect on the last step and criticize members who have taken the wrong path, analysts estimate this to praise the success of the era of XI, building consensus which is the right way for parties and countries.
It will be about “praise and self-praise”, Deng Yuwen, a former editor of the Communist Party school newspaper who became the party’s critic and now based in the United States, wrote about Yibao, a website dedicated to advancing Chinese democracy.
XI has established itself as the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao, carried out the limit of two terms, and is widely expected to be confirmed for the third five-year period of the next fall when the Central Committee convened to the 20th party congress and chose a new leadership team.
As an introduction to the resolution, the Party Propaganda Department issued a document in August detailing the “historical mission and contribution” party in this century since it was established, very focused on the practice of governance of the term XI.
The Communist Party Publication Department did not immediately respond to a comment request.
“The purpose of this resolution is to strengthen the new XI approach – and close the door in the era of reform by Deng,” said Trey Mcarver, a partner in the Beijing-based consulting company trivium.
“This means doubling the political system of one Chinese party, it is different from the economy to a more high-quality and inclusive growth model, and becomes more assertive in global affairs,” he added.
The first way of “historical resolution” was passed on in 1945 – four years before the establishment of the People’s Republic – and used by Mao to condemn rivals with differences of opinion, setting the stage to become the most important leader.
The second, in 1981 under Deng, closed the chapter on the turbulent cultural revolution, taught Mao’s leadership for “70 percent correct and 30 percent wrong”, making capitalism be accepted ideologically, and laid the foundation for “reform and opening”.
Since then, China has been changed, becoming much more integrated globally and assertive, richer, and unequal.
Party governance styles also shift.
Deng and the next two successors believe that the party must provide government, economics and society to grow organically.
The famous XI said in 2017: “East, West, South, North, the center – the party leads all”.
“While every leader from Mao always enforces the rules of the party, their ideas about how the best for the government has been very different,” said that.
“Although the upcoming resolution is called the party’s success for the past 100 years, it will eventually conclude that the current method, XI, is the right way”.
