Mao Zedong has been dead for many years, and his magic power has not diminished; every time he celebrates his 10th birthday, the CCP will raise flags to pay homage and hold a grand commemorative meeting to mourn him. Although Xi Jinping asked the party to write the third historical resolution, on Mao’s birthday, he had to go back to the old chapter and use a long tribute to Mao to dust off the monument.
People who do good deeds often notice it, and this time Xi has paid tribute to Mao for the second time. Since Deng Xiaoping abolished the life-long system of leadership for fear of Mao’s dictatorship reappearing, the general secretary has served two ten-year terms, and Mao can only be worshiped once. However, Xi Jinping actually offered sacrifices twice. I wonder if this means that he will return to the old path of lifelong tenure?
Xi Jinping paid homage to Mao Zedong and gave two commemorative speeches of eight to nine thousand words. His evaluation of Mao was still 30/70, with 30% criticism and 70% praise. He specifically mentioned that Mao’s initiation and leadership of the Cultural Revolution was a “serious mistake.” Of course, he also said that Mao was “a great man of a generation” who led the Chinese people to change their own destiny and the face of the country.
It has been concluded that Mao Zedong “made contributions to the founding of the country but was guilty of the Cultural Revolution”, but he still has high admiration for Xi. If you want to surpass Mao, you have to do something that Mao cannot do. Is it to “unify China”? This time, Xi added the declaration that “the motherland will inevitably be reunified.” The memorial text to Mao Zedong reads like a petition for Taiwan.
The problem is that there is also a self-proclaimed Taiwan independence worker on this side of the strait. Although he pretends to be Tsai Guilai for the time being, he may be preparing to collide with Xi’s “motherland” reunification and independence after coming to power. Xi Jinping reiterated his stance on Taiwan again, and on the eve of the election, it seemed more like he meant something. From the sacrifice of Mao Wen to the reunification of the motherland, to the dangerous war between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, who will bear the responsibility for historical responsibility?
