The president of China strengthens the Chinese model

The inauguration of the nineteenth congress of the Chinese Communist Party took place with the opening speech of Chinese President Xi Jinping, in front of the 2,300 delegates. The economic success of the Chinese country was the main subject, through which the state's highest office, underlined the past successes of the Chinese way to socialism and the future development goals of the nation. This political model has brought social stability in the country, thanks to the progress it has made, and is thus an alternative to democracy, which is not considered suitable for the Chinese people, who does not have to take the political systems of other countries. What is being stressed so much is not new: believing that economic progress can open democratic solutions to China is purely illusory, since this very well-being seems functional to some kind of good conviction that must end with any impulse to change the political system. In essence, the Chinese model can be summed up as economic well-being in exchange for rights compression; Moreover, this trend, even if masked, seems to be affirmed even in the western context, especially when the conditions of job maintenance are met, in disadvantaged production situations, which correspond to a decrease in union gains and often wages. Although China does not have a social fabric of mature economic corporations, typical of the industrialized West, the trend that is being established is in this direction and it is therefore necessary for the Communist Party to increase the welfare state in the country to avoid democratic leads to the central power. However, there is also the paradox that an authoritarian country can play as a representative of the free international market, against the protectionist tendencies expressed by the United States through its current President Trump. In fact, China's willingness is oriented towards profit and economic growth, which can not be achieved through the expansion of international markets, both on the side of the commodity exchange and the liberalization of investment. Xi Jinping realizes the need to equip the country with a more agile industrial structure that is less subjected to the old-fashioned political leadership, still tied to outdated patterns and logic that is overcome and too often involved in serious episodes of corruption. However, there are difficulties in starting a replacement of the ruling class capable of developing a mixed economy, ie with the right balance between public and private; despite the great liquidity available from the Chinese state, it is also true that the large indebtedness of the local authorities in the country is not included in the total bill and this reason may have in part caused the need to affirm a willingness to open up investment foreigners, called to avoid the outbreak of a financial bubble, which could lead to economic growth. Certainly there is also the willingness to open the door to the outside for political reasons that can demonstrate the willingness of more collaboration with the rest of the world. This aspect is considered crucial by the Chinese President, also as a means of accrediting the country as an increasingly powerful alternative to the US. The perception is that Xi Jnping intends to use the internal model also for foreigners, that is, pointing to economic expansion as a means of obscuring their own rights-related shortages. Until now, apart from some rare incident, Chinese intent has succeeded in a practically complete manner, the vastness of investments subscribed to in various countries, prevented criticism of the chronic lack of rights of the Chinese political system, but if China chose to to exercise politically and not just its economic predominance, the issue can not be addressed directly. On the other hand, his presidency is distinguished by both the repression of internal disagreement and the concentration of greater power as its peculiar characteristic, so much so that it is conceivable to introduce his name into the Chinese constitution: a privilege hitherto granted only to Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. The future for China is thus announced in the face of ever greater economic effort, greater prosperity but without rights openness.
