Associate Professor Dr Aksornsri Panichsan, Lecturer at the Faculty of Economics at Thammasat University is angry about China He said confidently that such a “rumor” is impossible because “All power” China in this age is in the hands of a man named “Xi Jinping”
The source of the rumors about the coup “Xi Jinping” and the complexity of the power structure in China
Assoc, Prof. Dr. Aksornsri China connoisseurs say that it is now approaching the 20th General Assembly of the Communist Party of China (convened every five years), where seven “keyman” leaders of China are led. Some may be modified in according to the mechanism. But that will not change is the No. 1 of the party “Xi Jinping” and also occupies the third term of Xi Jinping. especially the issue of the sport in China So, it has become an eye catcher for Thais and the world.
Associate Professor Dr. Aksornsri explained that “China is complex and hidden.” In many ways, especially China’s political approach is different from Thailand. and many countries around the world Some things we don’t know And China itself does not disclose information to the media. Therefore, the doubt becomes a mystery, so it is wise to understand China’s political system and governance…
Three hats hold power in China’s politics, government and military.
for clear understanding Assoc, Prof Dr Aksornsri He explained the political and administrative mechanisms of the People’s Republic of China as follows: “Communist Party of China”advantage as “China’s Supreme Political Organization” It is the only political party that controls the future of China, and now has over 90 million members and has a complex structure. Importantly, the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated every sector of China. directly and indirectly
However, many people may not know that There are 9 political parties in China, but most of the other political parties are like decorations. It does not exist to be an opposition party, and since 1949 the Chinese Communist Party has been the only political party to rule China.
“So the fact of Chinese politics is that China does not have a single political party. But China has only ever run one Communist Party of China,” said Prof. Assoc Dr. Aksornsri.
The Chinese Communist Party has its own army:
The Chinese Army or People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Many people may not know that “the PLA army is the army of the Communist Party of China” is a political party army. Not the country’s army!!
“So one of the things that reflects the greatness of the Communist Party is that it has its own army, while other political parties, such as the two political parties in the United States, Republicans and Democrats, do not have their own armies ( smile) but the Chinese Communist Party It has its own strong military. Currently, Xi Jinping is also in the highest position in overseeing the Chinese military, the chairman of the Central Committee of the Chinese Armed Forces, reflecting that the Chinese Communist Party and ‘to military structure. How are they related?”
The release of rumors that China’s military established a coup “seize power”, said Xi Jinping, who holds the No. 1 military post and No. 1 running the country (president), as well as the Communist Party No. 1. (General Secretary of the Communist Party )
It was impossible then, as “Xi Jinping” at this time had absolute power. By wearing 3 big power hats in China!
“Power to control the military”, the key cap of “Xi Jinping”
Assoc Prof Dr Aksornsri said former Chinese leaders might not have worn these three hats at the same time in the past. Examples of former leaders “Mao Zedong” Although Mao Zedong wears the No. 1 hat, commands the party and commands the army. At some point, however, Mao Zedong was not interested in wearing the Chinese presidential hat. “Yang Shangkun”
In addition, Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping has never worn the number 1 hat to run the country. Deng Xiaoping has never been the President or Prime Minister of China. But he used to wear the top hat to rule the military, that of the chairman of the Central Committee of the Chinese Armed Forces. Although Deng Xiaoping did not wear the top hat in the official position, Deng Xiaoping is one of the most powerful and influential men in China behind the scenes.
The appearance of the Chinese leader
As for Xi Jinping, since coming to power as the general secretary of the Communist Party of China in late 2012, he also wears the No. 1 helmet, serving as the chairman of the Central Committee of the Chinese Armed Forces, or NPC Xi Jinping, has begun to serve as the number one president China in the administration of China.
Importantly, during the first 5 years of the country’s administration, “Xi Jinping” still aims to build trust and buy people’s hearts. by declaring a war against corruption and the war against poverty Which are all the problems that worry the Chinese people. And past Chinese leaders have not been able to fully resolve these two issues. “
amend the constitution Unlock China’s presidency without a term
china guru also talks about political ingenuity “Xi Jinping” that during the first five years of his reign and gained popularity with the Chinese people by creating concrete works to win the hearts of the Chinese people especially the fight against corruption. In 2017, Xi Jinping began to push for what he called“Thoughts of Xi Jinping” (Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era) and brought “Xi Jinping Thoughts” to the constitution of the Communist Party of China It is considered to be the basis of the organizational concept of your own work through the so-called “Xi Jinping Thoughts” and later in 2018, “Xi Jinping Thoughts” included in the Chinese Constitution, and most recently, “Xi Jinping Thoughts” were included in Chinese youth textbooks too!!
In 2018, in addition to the upcoming amendment of the country’s constitution, the “Xi Jinping Thought” was already included in China’s supreme law. That year, the constitution was amended to unlock the presidency of China. (In the past, there was a term of 5 years, no more than 2 terms, ie 10 years)
“That constitutional amendment happened during the four Jinping, 2018, was only in his first five years, although there are still five more years, but Xi Jinping is resourceful. Therefore, he chose to amend the constitution when he was popular and the people’s faith was overwhelming, so he knew the right timing as to when he should do such important things, which is the foundation of “Xi Jinping’s power” in an organization. way and clearly reflects that “The political power of the country’s administration and the army is in the hands of Jinping colors completely.”
Many people may wonder. Giving power like this is the way of Does the “dictatorship leader” listen to the people at all? Assoc Prof. Dr. Aksornsri, “It’s not like that much” as far as the situation is seen in the Si. Jinping had come to this moment, it was found that the building of the power base of Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China in this era It is not done to deprive or threaten people. Instead, it focuses on using such strong power to deal with the once “hard to solve” woes of the Chinese people that previous Chinese leaders have never been able to solve, such as corruption. and poverty problems
A concrete example of Xi Jinping’s fight against corruption In the first five years of China’s leadership, it is said that Xi was able to deal with up to 1.5 million cases of corruption, whether at the ministerial level or the No. 2 of the Chinese military and any major positions would get stop them if there was clear evidence of that being corrupted with China’s national anti-corruption agency firmly and handling swords with all levels whether tiger or flying
However, many people may think that Xi Jinping is using anti-corruption to “Eliminate political enemies” or not? Prof Assoc Dr Aksornsri answered that “There are cases that cannot be denied. Xi Jinping is the opposite. ” Of course, there are cases when the person being punished is the one who disagrees with Xi Jinping. All those people have evidence of wrongdoing and corruption. as the latest news The case of Fu Zheng Hua and Sun Lijun who is a former minister and a former deputy minister Recently convicted of corruption So, he was involved in spreading rumors of a “coup d’état” that seized power from Xi Jinping.
“Beidaihe” held a secret meeting and platform “Clearing the Conflict of Hearts”
When asked if there is a difference with “Xi Jinping” in the Communist Party of China? Professor Assoc. Dr. Aksornsri admits “there are people who disagree in the party. It is normal for everything to have multiple perspectives.” It is a matter of difference of opinion on policies or ways of dealing with problems. But disagreement is not a power struggle, for example: “In the case of Xi Jinping’s Zero Covid Policy, it must be admitted. The opinion of some people in the Chinese Communist Party It is a policy that is too strict. until causing economic problems.” Is it time to relax the Zero Covid policy or when should it be cancelled?
“Dissimilarity in the Communist Party It is only a debate of opinion. What would be a better or best solution to a national problem? but not to the point of seizing power,” dissenters within the Communist Party will have a “clearing meeting” every year at the party’s external meeting. in Beidaihe City during July-August which will have Communist Party executives , yesterday and today. They will go to a meeting to clear their minds at the seaside accommodation in Beidaihe City. It is a tradition of the party. since the time of Mao Zedong, and it is a secret meeting. no one knows What he agreed Chinese party elders to him?”
Assoc, Prof Dr Aksornsri concluded that “When the meeting was cleared in Beidaihe, All different opinions ended there. It will not bring information to political attacks or discrepancies in credit. This is a systematic Chinese mechanism.” Therefore, when rumors emerge, readers are encouraged to use their discretion when filtering the news. “If it’s about China It’s complicated and has a different Chinese context to many countries. including Thailand Therefore, one should fully understand the political structure and governance of China. “
