People in the west reading the tea leaves seem to believe that xi is a sincere maoist trying to yoke the party apparatus and get it moving in the "right" (ie left) direction. This fits with anecdotal evidence from chinese friends and anglos i know there. The problem is that, high profile campaign against corruption or no, the real struggle for the ccp is exerting influence in the regional party cells and local government, which is almost absurdly corrupt and entrenched. It would take an enormous effort to reform the party on that broad and deep a level. Of course, concentrating power and reviving the party line would be a reasonable preamble to such an effort, so maybe that's his plan. Time will tell! This is of course ignoring all the uhh, more 'problematic' elements of ccp rule, like the aggressive colonization of xinjiang and tibet

In the broadest possible brush strokes, the SU was first paralyzed and ultimately killed by an insanely venal, myopic, incompetent bureaucracy that itself was the product of desperate, improvisational moves to protect the revolution and kickstart industrialization during the 1930s. So far the CCP has proven less myopic and less incompetent, but when it comes to venality, well...

his point (i think) is that the very attempt to reform precipitated a crisis of the old order. having now successfully contained or erased popular demand for reform, and witnessed the SU's spectacular collapse and russia's diminished state, i'm sure that most of the ccp think tiananmen square was crushed appropriately. xi's strange contortions between gung-ho savior of international trade (and the capitalist order it perpetuates) and maoist nostalgia and red values is a response to perceived constraints.he faces the problem of what to do with a capitalist sector that is important to enrich the country/increase national self-sufficiency but which simultaneously perpetuates inequality and erodes party authority and discipline. One party rule, with its opacity, factionalism, and sheer sprawl, is deeply vulnerable to corruption and crony capitalism btw this is not a gimmick post btw btw xi of course is a direct benefactor from the ccp's undemocratic and clubby nature so that doesnt help either lol btw btw btw i assume these screengrabs are in reference to recent tax reform, which was actually well thought out and good for working people Fuligin has issued a correction as of 00:05 on Jan 3, 2019 |

Modest Mao posted:Are you talking about the very Communist thing he did raising the tax rate on the wealthy from 25% to 45% overnight. Or the funny thing that china has an essentially flat tax for anyone living in a city so everyone got hosed really hard. the thing where they raised the cap before taxable income to 5000 yuan
