The 20th 3rd General Conference of the Chinese Communist Party started in Beijing on July 15th and lasted for 4 days and ended on July 18th.
According to the press release of the July 18 press conference, the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China examined and approved the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese Modernization."
According to China News, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, said in his speech at the conference, "In a difficult and complex international environment, domestic reform should fulfill the difficult tasks of development and stability, and maintain development while maintaining stability." According to the report, Xi Jinping said in his speech, "harmonizing the domestic and international situation, coordinating development and security, promoting high-quality development, comprehensively deepening and promoting reform, resolutely safeguarding national security and social stability, strengthening national defense and military construction, Hong Kong , promoting the work of Macao and the work of Taiwan.
However, situation analysts observing the situation in China said that the meeting will not change China's current authoritarian policy and economic situation, but will instead lay the foundation for Xi Jinping's individual-centered authoritarian rule.
Mr. Teng Biao, a visiting professor at the University of Chicago and a human rights lawyer, said that since Xi Jinping came to power, China's political situation has been seriously regressed rather than reformed, and it is unlikely that there will be true reforms in China even after this meeting.
Teng Biao said: "Looking at the overall political situation in China, China's backwardness has been serious since Xi Jinping came to the throne. Although the one-party authoritarian system continued in China before Xi Jinping ascended to the throne, after Xi Jinping ascended to the throne, the small freedom environment and reform space that originally existed among the people was destroyed. Therefore, the so-called Chinese modernization, the Chinese model proposed in the 3rd General Conference, actually means that they have rejected the system of democracy and freedom. It also means that reforms have already been completed throughout China. Because not long after Xi Jinping came to the throne, it was known that the Chinese reform and opening up had come to an end.
Mr. Teng Biao went on to talk about the points emphasized in Xi Jinping's speech at the 3rd Plenary Session, "resolute protection of national security and social stability, strengthening of national defense and military construction, promotion of work in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan."
He said: "Protecting the security of the Chinese Communist Party means protecting the security of the Chinese Communist Party and protecting the stability of the Communist regime centered on Xi Jinping. In the name of ``protecting security and stability'' in China's internal policy, it is carrying out a policy of genocide and repression against humanity in Xinjiang and Tibet, while it is carrying out a policy of suppressing democracy in Hong Kong, and is attacking non-governmental organizations and human rights activists in China. However, the massive investment in such attacks in the name of "security and stability" is one of the main reasons for the collapse of the Chinese economy. In foreign policy, it is strengthening the policy of economic and political expansion to neighboring countries in the name of threatening Taiwan and "One Belt One Road". All this means that China's threat to the whole world is increasing.
Among Uyghur activists in the United States, Ilshat Hasan, vice president of the Executive Committee of the World Uyghur Congress and China situation analyst, also shared his views with us.
In Ilshat Hasan's speech, although the Chinese people and the world community, who wanted the end of Xi Jinping's authoritarian regime, wanted some reform in China's political situation and economic situation at the 3rd General Conference held this time, Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party will continue to exist in China. He said that there will be no real reform.
Mr. Ilshat Hasan also stated that Chinese nationalism has been on the rise under Xi Jinping. In Xi Jinping's domestic and foreign policies, he promoted Chinese nationalism under the name of "Chinese National Commonwealth" and "Chinese Rise" and forced non-Chinese ethnic groups such as Uighurs, Tibetans, and Mongolians. China's assimilation policy has reached its highest level in history, the Chinese Communist Party said.
Mr. Ilshat Hasan emphasized that the genocide policy being carried out against Uighurs by nationality has made Uighurs the biggest victims of Chinese nationalism. Chinese nationalism, which is being promoted for the purpose of protecting Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist regime, was also emphasized in the so-called 3rd General Meeting. Xi Jinping's government is using Chinese nationalism to consolidate its rule, while continuing genocide and cultural genocide against ethnic groups such as the Uighurs and Tibetans in the country, masking Chinese nationalism. Therefore, in foreign policy, they are expanding the Chinese authoritarian system model to the world, increasing military investment, and threatening the security of neighboring countries more and more.
