of Xi Jinping's 5 Years Leadership in China

The
annual China "Two Conferences" are being held in Beijing now. This year's National People's Congress
and The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference mark the end of the
last 5 years of rule by Xi Jinping, as well as determining the next term of the
Xi administration. They are also a
warm up for the 19th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. The media inside China and abroad and
many analysts are highly concerned about these "Two
Conferences". The Western
analysis gave a report card for the first term of Xi Jinping's governing which
highlights a) China's reality that must be reformed because its "economy
is huge but a serious waste"; b) the bold oath Xi Jinping has on the
international stage does not match his performance in the past 5 years; and c)
the combination of power and wealth in China is accelerating the disparity between
rich and poor in China. So, has
the Chinese political ecology and social environment progressed or retreated in
the past five years under Xi's ruling?
From where comes the greatest risk to Xi's regime? Where is the "legal society"
Xi promised to establish?
Wei
Jingsheng said that the words "Xi Core Leadership" have been
mentioned repeatedly by the officials of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP),
which shows that not all voices within the Communist leadership are convinced;
thus the need to repeat this phrase of "Xi Core Leadership." After Mao Zedong's era, the word
"leader" was rarely mentioned because this word in Chinese is
associated with dictators. But now
this word has surfaced again, which indicates that Xi Jinping may want to
engage a dictatorship, and everyone is forced to call him a leader at his
request.
Wei
Jingsheng said that there is a phrase which goes "where your butt sits
decides where your brain is."
Xi Jinping once said that he was going to learn from Chiang Ching-kuo
(of Republic of China) by opening freedom of speech and lifting the ban on
forming political parties, but the results after he took office have departed
farther and farther from that claim.
Wei Jingsheng said that as the Communist system is different from
democratic systems, it needs dictator leadership to gather the people. Therefore under such a system there
will not be too much difference from Mao Zedong's era.
Wei
Jingsheng said that after Xi Jinping came to power he was brown-nosed by many
and thus lost his mind and changed.
When a person sits on the seat of a dictator, he will unknowingly become
a dictator. Mao Zedong was an
example. Xi Jinping also seems to
have become corrupted due to the power in his hands. This system decides everything, while the "Two Conferences"
are just like pretty vases and rubber stamps, which give no restriction on Xi's
function but instead sing praises to him.
Wei
Jingsheng said that in the early years after the Communist Party was founded,
there were many young people joining the party in order to pursue democracy and
freedom. But the Communist Party
has become an autocratic dictatorial regime, which has made many old communist
members think it is worse than KMT.
After Xi Jinping came to power, he has not only offended the Chinese people
and increased the gap between rich and poor, but also made more enemies within
the Communist party and made a mess diplomatically -- these are the reasons for
political instability in China.
Wei
Jingsheng said: "Xi wants to concentrate power to do big things. But we have to see what are the big
things he is doing. Now Xi Jinping
tightens speech more and more. Not
to mention not lifting the forbidden formation of political parties, he even
arrested many people when he treated rights defending lawyers as forbidden
organizations. This trend proves
that he is not like Chiang Ching-kuo at all. Then what will be the big things he is going to do? He will become more dictatorial and
more authoritarian, so people will live even worse. This will only lead to the collapse of the Communist regime.
Wei
Jingsheng said that the so-called "anti-corruption" of Xi Jinping is
just to concentrate his personal power.
He did not arrest the well-known corrupt officials, but instead arrested
his political opponents and put the officials who were disobedient to him in
prison. The Chinese people have
observed these actions already and are disappointed with his
"anti-corruption".
Wei
Jingsheng said that the increasing tightening of freedom of speech under Xi
Jinping is about to surpass what it was during the Cultural Revolution. Xi Jinping frequently blocks people
using their own created media, and the Chinese people can not say
anything. In the ideology of the
Communist Party, "rule of law" is regarded as a weapon against its
enemies, which is the essence of the law according to the Communist
regime. This is what everyone
should recognize.
Wei
Jingsheng said that in a healthy society that follows a rule of law the people
have supervision over the government, making it not easy for officials to be
corruptive. But in China, the
people are reprimanded when they report or petition against officials'
wrongdoings. The rule of law has become
a tool for Xi Jinping to purge the dissidents who disagree with him. Xi Jinping claimed to "rule the
country by law", but the Communist Party itself does not have to comply
with the law, such as not giving the people freedom of speech which is
guaranteed by Chinese law. The law
is only a weapon against the people by the Chinese Communist regime.
Wei
Jingsheng said that Xi Jinping has been keeping "turning left" since
he came to power, while the rule of law in China has simply retreated to the
level during the Cultural Revolution period. In the past, when Deng Xiaoping "turned right while
signaling a turn to the left", China still could be maintained during its
economic improvement. But Xi
Jinping wants to resume the Mao era by repression, which will for sure result
in the eventual collapse of the Communist regime. Xi Jinping may think that he is stronger than Mao Zedong,
but in the present day, it is totally impossible for him to fool the Chinese by
using Marxism-Leninism.

时事大家谈：魏京生看习政权五年
最后更新： 2017年3月9日 01:06
* 许波
华盛顿 -
一年一度的中国"两会"正在北京召开。本次全国人大和全国政协会议是习近平执政五年的收官之作，也是确定习政府下届任期和中共十九大的铺垫之举，海内外媒体和分析人士高度关注。西方分析称，习近平第一个任期的"成绩单"凸显出中国"体量庞大但浪费严重的经济"必须改革的现实；
习近平在国际舞台上的大胆誓言与五年来的业绩不相符合；中国特色的权钱结合导致的贫富分化正在加速前行。那么，习近平当政五年来，中国的政治生态和社会环境究竟是进还是退？习政权面临的最大风险来自何处？习近平誓言建立的"法制社会"究竟在哪里？
魏京生说，"习核心"三个字一再被中共官员提起，说明了中共对习近平掌握权力可能出现不服气的声音，所以才需要反复强调"习核心"。毛泽东时代过去后，"领袖"两个字因为容易让人联想到独裁者，已经很少被人提起。现在这两个字再度浮出水面，说明习近平可能想搞独裁，而众人在他要求下，被迫称他为领袖。
魏京生说，正所谓"屁股决定脑袋"，习近平曾表示要像蒋经国一样开放言论自由和党禁，结果上台后越走越远。魏京生说，共产党这个体制与民主体制不同，共产党就是需要一个独裁者领导才可能聚集民心，在这样的体制下不会和毛时代有多大区别。
魏京生说，习近平上台后受到众人吹捧，头脑发昏人都变了。一个人坐上了独裁者的位子，不知不觉也会变成独裁者，毛泽东就是一例，习近平看来也将因为权力到手而腐化。体制决定了一切，中国的两会如同花瓶和橡皮图章，除了歌颂习近平之外，没有任何限制他的功能。
魏京生说，当年许多青年为了追求民主自由加入共产党，但共产党却变成专制独裁的政权，让许多老共产党员认为不如国民党。习近平上台后不但得罪老百姓、加大贫富差距，在党内也树立更多敌人，外交更是一塌糊涂，这些都是造成政局不稳定的原因。
魏京生说："集中权力做大事，要看做的是什么事。习近平现在言论收得越来越紧，不要说开放党禁了，律师搞维权还被当成组织一样一下抓很多人，他这个趋势根本不像蒋经国。那么他要办什么大事呢？就是更加独裁、更加专制，让老百姓过得更不好。这样做只会走向崩溃。"
魏京生说，习近平所谓的"反腐败"，只是为了集中他个人的权力。他放着众所周知的腐败官员不抓，尽抓一些自己政治上的对手，让不听话的官员进监狱，这些老百姓早已看出来了，对他的"反腐败"感到失望。
魏京生说，习近平对言论自由的日益收紧已经快超过文革时期，他动辄封杀老百姓使用的自媒体，人民什么也不能说。在共产党的意识形态里，"法治"被当作对付敌人的武器，大家应该认清这就是共产党的法律的本质。
魏京生说，健康的法治社会由全民监督政府，官员想腐败都不容易。但在中国，老百姓检举或上访还会被斥回，法治俨然成为习近平整肃异己的工具。习近平号称要"依法治国"，但共产党自己却可以不遵守法律，好比不给予人民法律保障的言论自由。法律只是共产党握在手中对付他人的武器罢了。
魏京生说，习近平上台后不断"左转"，法治上简直倒退到文革时期。过去邓小平"打左灯往右转"，在经济好转的情况下国家还能维持下去。习近平却想通过镇压来恢复毛时代，政权最后必然要崩溃。习近平可能认为自己比毛泽东还厉害，但现在的时代根本不可能让他用马列主义来忽悠老百姓。
