No empire lasts forever. Dictators look formidable until their edifice of power suddenly crumbles to dust. Yes, under the Chinese system, a leader can misgovern, even cause millions to perish like Mao did, and yet stay secure in power for extended periods.
The Chinese Communist Party is expected to hold in mid-October or later its 20th national congress, at which major leadership changes are typically announced. As general secretary, Xi, 69, holds the party’s top position.
Following in the footsteps of the erstwhile Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), Mao Zedong did his best to ensure that the CCP too, especially after the Sino-Soviet split of the 1960s, developed ties with Communist parties and left-leaning organisations in nations around the globe.
Xi returns to Mao in his efforts to build a personality cult around himself. Since coming to power, he has cultivated the image of being “a man of the people” in a bid to make his authoritarianism more palpable to the masses. The new primary school textbooks emphasise Xi’s wisdom, friendliness and care for the children.
