Xi: the loneliest man in the world
https://www.smh.com.au/national/ ... 0220812-p5b9e3.html
Xi has held the top job in China for 10 years and his mandate is now up for renewal. Some call it a “mandate from heaven” on the model of the old Chinese emperors. Since the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, that mandate has come from the Chinese Communist Party, with the leader of China governing through a broad consensus of the party elite.
But these days, the mandate to rule China seems to come from the leader himself. Xi does not rule by consensus. He is surrounded by enemies, both internal and external. It may be his own fault, but that doesn’t change the fact that Xi Jinping can only really depend on the support of one person: Xi Jinping.
The son of a Chinese revolutionary who fell out with Mao in the 1960s, Xi spent much of his teens and twenties in re-education camps. He clawed his way back into the Communist Party, then rose to the top by being as bland as possible. When he was elevated to the supreme leadership in 2012, international China experts generally described him as a loyal party man.
Having no support base to call his own, Xi consolidated his power by setting China’s major political factions against each other. He demoted his fellow “princelings”, the children of Communist China’s first generation of revolutionary leaders. He tore apart the “Shanghai Gang”, targeting the clique of former leader Jiang Zemin with corruption investigations. He instigated an ideological challenge to the Communist Party Youth League faction of Premier Li Keqiang, accusing the league of straying from true Marxist thought. He even attacked the chief executives of China’s new high-tech champions, jeopardising China’s economic future for the sake of domestic political advantage.

习近平在中国担任最高职位已有 10 年,现在他的任期即将更新。有人称之为仿照中国古代帝王的“天命”。自 1976 年毛泽东逝世以来,这一授权一直来自中国共产党,中国领导人通过党内精英的广泛共识执政。
但如今,统治中国的使命似乎来自领导人本人。习近平不是以协商一致方式执政。他被内部和外部的敌人包围。或许是他自己的错,但这改变不了习近平真正只能靠一个人支持的事实:习近平。
作为 1960 年代与毛泽东闹翻的中国革命者的儿子,习近平在再教育营度过了他十几岁和二十多岁的大部分时间。他重新回到共产党,然后尽可能平淡无奇地升到了顶峰。 2012年他升任最高领导人时,国际中国专家普遍称他为忠诚的党员。
习近平没有自己的支持基础,通过让中国的主要政治派别相互对抗来巩固自己的权力。他贬低了他的同胞“太子党”,即共产主义中国第一代革命领袖的孩子。他撕毁“上海帮”,针对前领导人江泽民集团进行腐败调查。他煽动对李克强总理的共青团派进行意识形态挑战,指责该团偏离了真正的马克思主义思想。他甚至攻击中国新的高科技冠军的首席执行官,为了国内政治优势而危及中国的经济未来。 |
