Xi Jinping reiterates the great development of the western region
From April 22 to 23, Xi Jinping visited Chongqing for inspection and then chaired a symposium on the development of the western region. Xi Jinping reiterated the Western Development Initiative launched by the CCP many years ago. Experts analyzed that this may be a response to future wars.
Xi Jinping said at the symposium that in the five years since the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made arrangements for the “Western Development”, the western region has “won the battle against poverty as scheduled.”
Commentator Zhong Yuan wrote an article saying that Xi Jinping is now trying to summarize the achievements of the western development in the past five years. However, in the past five years, the western development has been basically forgotten, and he can only sum up a “win the battle against poverty”. Officials here know that this is false. of.
The article said that the western development includes 12 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities including Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Ningxia and Gansu. Xi Jinping said that the western region should “develop characteristic and advantageous industries” and “emerging industries.” These requirements may be acceptable for Chongqing and Sichuan, but have little significance for other provinces.
In fact, when the CCP was founded, it engaged in the development of the western region. In fact, some projects aided by the Soviet Union were placed in Inner Mongolia, Gansu and other places in the west.
In the early 1960s, the CCP had a falling out with the Soviet Union and was preparing to go to war with the United States, so Mao Zedong began to engage in third-line construction. The third line is the three defense fronts. The eastern coast is the first line, the central Hunan, Hubei, Henan, and Hebei are the second line, and the mountainous areas in the west are the third line.
Why did Mao Zedong engage in third-line construction? It’s for war.
Senior editor Shi Shan said that Mao Zedong always believed that a world war would definitely break out and China would definitely join the war. He hoped to turn China into a battlefield and drag the Americans in, sinking them into the vast ocean of the so-called people’s war. After seven, eight, or ten years, the United States would be Drove people down, and then they can sweep across the world. He really thought so. In the Soviet Union, he even made this suggestion to Stalin face to face. He said that if an atomic bomb was dropped, at most half of China’s people would die, and China would be able to recover in 20 years. Stalin was a dictator who did not take human life seriously, and they all thought Mao Zedong’s suggestion was too crazy.
Later, after Deng Xiaoping came to power, he began to carry out reform and opening up. Most of the factories built in the mountains of the West have closed down.
In 1999, Zhu Rongji proposed the development of the western region. Because the gap between the east and the west was getting wider and wider at that time, the economic aggregate of Guangzhou or Shenzhen exceeded ten provinces in the west, and the economic development was too unbalanced. Zhu Rongji and Wen Jiabao worked hard to change the planned economic system in the west into a market economic model.
However, after 20 years of development in the western region, the actual results are not good. The gap between the east and the west has not narrowed. Because of China’s economic growth, the most important thing is foreign trade, exporting goods to foreign markets. Geographically, the West has no advantage.
Five years ago, Xi Jinping proposed “continuing to promote the development of the western region” and restore the military industry factories.
Analysts believe that Xi Jinping’s western development may be a response to the outbreak of war, which is tantamount to a return to the three-front war model of the Mao Zedong era.
Independent commentator Cai Shenkun said that Xi Jinping’s attempt to develop the western region at this time is a follow-up to the third-line construction that Mao Zedong played in the past.
“Faced with containment from the West, especially the United States, foreign capital has withdrawn from coastal areas. Coupled with the unprecedented tensions in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea, Xi Jinping needs to consider the so-called deep hinterland. Once the east faces a war crisis, the west can shoulder military and industrial logistics support. ”
However, Cai Shenkun believes that the development of the western region itself is a false proposition, because the western region has always been a stronghold of the planned economy. Many military and defense enterprises are located in the western region, and people, money and materials are highly concentrated in the government and monopoly enterprises, which is seriously out of touch with the market economy. Neither foreign capital nor private enterprises can develop.
“The so-called development of the western region in the new era is just a topic used by the central and local governments to amuse themselves. No new breakthroughs are possible.”
Is China facing a massive return to poverty?
Li Qiang, who had just attended the Western Development Conference, was conducting research in Guizhou on April 24.
According to reports, when Li Qiang was speaking to Guizhou officials, he first touted Xi Jinping’s achievements in poverty alleviation, and then said that he would “resolutely hold on to the bottom line of preventing large-scale return to poverty.”
Commentator Yue Shan said that Xi Jinping’s claim of “successful alleviation of poverty” is not a matter of water content, but pure fraud. Former Prime Minister Li Keqiang told the truth about poverty alleviation a few months before Xi Jinping announced the victory of poverty alleviation (May 2020): At that time, 600 million people in China had a monthly income of only 1,000 yuan. Coupled with three years of epidemic, not to mention ordinary people, even the middle class has no money, so China cannot increase its domestic demand.
Li Qiang’s claim that “we must maintain the bottom line of preventing large-scale return to poverty” triggered heated discussions among netizens.
Netizens said one after another, “We must listen to the opposite of what the party says, because it shows that a large-scale return to poverty has occurred.”
Some netizens questioned that when Xi Jinping went to Chongqing and Li Qiang went to Guizhou, no one cared about the floods in Guangdong? What is this operation? !
Some Chongqing netizens also said that when Xi Jinping comes to Chongqing, gas prices here are soaring. Can he solve some practical problems for the people?
Chongqing Gas Group replaced gas meters on a large scale at the end of last year. After retrofitting smart gas meters, Chongqing residents found that their gas bills increased sharply, which has recently become a hot topic on social platforms.
People across Sichuan Province also checked and found that their gas bills had also risen sharply.
A Mr. Chen said that since the beginning of this year, without adding more family members or changing his gas usage habits, gas bills have inexplicably doubled compared to last year.
On April 17, well-known screenwriter Li Yaling posted on her Weibo that during her two-month stay in Hainan, her home in Chengdu generated more than 500 cubic meters of gas, and the gas bill was close to 1,000 yuan.
After Li Yaling posted the news, her neighbors also checked their gas bills, and the results surprised them. A neighbor stayed in the United States for three months. When he came back, he found that the gas bill for these months was as high as more than 2,000 yuan (RMB).
What’s even more outrageous is that residents in a certain place in Sichuan reported on the Internet that they received a gas bill of 3,000 yuan before they moved in to a house that was still in the renovation stage.
In addition to Chongqing and Sichuan, people in Jiangsu, Hubei and other places also found that gas bills were abnormal, and not only gas bills, but water bills and electricity bills also had the same problem.
Under intense public attention, the Chongqing Municipal Government had no choice but to hold a press conference on April 13 and announced the establishment of a joint investigation team to station at the gas company to investigate.
Many local residents found that their gas “slowed down” and then returned to normal, so they suspected that the gas company had tampered with it and that the gas meter could be artificially controlled remotely.
After a short 6-day investigation, the Chongqing Municipal Government officially announced that the authorities had removed Che Dechen, secretary of the party committee of the company involved, Chongqing Gas Group, and reported that the gas company had a serious shortage of meter readers, incorrect meter reading, and illegal meter reading. Wait for six major disadvantages.
Commentator Jiang Feng believes that the investigation report said that Che Dechen was removed from office, which seems to be a punishment. In fact, removal from office is different from removal from office. He can change positions and become an official again. Even if he retires, he will get as much as he should. Retirement benefits are not great at all.
The public does not buy the results of the authorities’ handling.
Under a related video from China Central Television, one of the comments had more than 310,000 likes, revealing the public’s strong dissatisfaction with the results of the CCP’s official handling.
This comment read: “According to the law, you should be punished for fraud, theft, corruption, and bribery. You just remove one of your posts and that’s it? According to the law, you should refund one and pay three, and you can just refund the overcharge and be done with it? Really nothing Save, stop acting! It’s time for everyone to step down!”
Chinese student sentenced to jail for September
Xiaolei Wu, a Chinese student at the Berklee College of Music in the United States, was sentenced to nine months in prison for harassing another student who posted flyers supporting Chinese democracy. “Look at China” interviewed Xie Zhongzhi, a Hong Kong resident in the United States. He said that Little Pink is a disposable diaper used by the CCP. “You will not end well if you work for the CCP, and the CCP will not appreciate you.”
On January 25, the jury found Wu Xiaolei guilty of two counts of “cyber stalking” and “interstate dissemination of threatening information.”
On April 24, a Boston court sentenced Wu Xiaolei to nine months in prison and three years of supervision. He will then be deported and will not be allowed to return to the United States unless approved by the Department of Homeland Security.
Wu Xiaolei, 26, is holding a student visa in the United States. In October 2022, he learned that Zoey, a Chinese student at the same school, had posted flyers at Berklee College of Music with words such as “Walk with the Chinese” and “We want democracy” on them. Then he threatened Zoey on the Internet many times.
In a WeChat group of 300 Chinese students and alumni of the school, Wu Xiaolei asked Zoey to take down the flyers and threatened to “chop off her hands.”
Wu Xiaolei also claimed that he had reported her to domestic public security agencies and disclosed her school email and residential address. He also threatened that Zoey would be arrested when she returned to China and that her family members in China would also be subject to “political censorship” by the Chinese Communist authorities.
On December 14, 2022, Wu Xiaolei was arrested by the FBI.
The victim Zoey testified in court that she felt extremely frightened by Wu Xiaolei’s threats and moved away from her original address.
Prosecutors said at the sentencing hearing that Wu Xiaolei’s circumstances were serious and that the Chinese authorities had repeatedly visited Zoey’s father in China to harass her, just as Zoey feared.
Xie Zhongzhi, a Hong Kong resident who immigrated to the United States in 1980, was interviewed by “Look at China”.
He said that because Wu Xiaolei was convicted, it had a shocking effect on other little pinks and CCP slaves.
“The judge sentenced Wu Xiaolei to serve as a warning to him and the CCP, ‘Your people are not allowed to mess around.’ If you mess around, there will be serious consequences, such as jail time.” “Little Pink is like being raped. Disposable diapers used by the Chinese Communist Party.”
For example, he gave the example of the CCP’s ace agent Jin Wuluo, who had been lurking in the CIA for more than 30 years and served as Deng Xiaoping’s translator. He believed that with his contribution to the CCP, the CCP would definitely come forward to rescue him. As a result, no one, including Deng Xiaoping, People rescued him, but he later committed suicide in prison.
Xie Zhongzhi said: “You little pink, pro-Communist slaves, what will be the consequences of working for the CCP? The Communist Party has no humanity and it will not appreciate you.”
“Wu Xiaolei is in a free land, but his brain is filled with feces. He is unaware of the blessings in his body. He moved the things from the mainland to the United States, thinking that he has a background in the mainland and can do whatever he wants in the mainland, but this is not the case in the United States. No. If you act recklessly, you will be punished by American law.”
