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political leadership, still tied to outdated patterns and logic that is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.
