There seems to be something going on in China’s government that is not disclosed to the press at large. The individual who brought this story public has taken a good chance on being sent to a re-education program or simply vanishing for good.<\/p>\n

Chinese party member speaks out against Xi Jinping:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2020\/aug\/18\/china-xi-jinping-facing-widespread-opposition-in-his-own-party-claims-insider<\/a><\/p>\n

The Guardian article does not reveal the details quite as well as the transcript of Cai’s interview, below.<\/p>\n

China’s Xi Jinping facing widespread opposition in his own party, insider claims<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exclusive: Cai Xia, who has been expelled from the elite Central Party School, says president\u2019s \u2018unchecked power\u2019 has made China \u2018the enemy of the world\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transcript: \u2018He killed a party and a country<\/a><\/p>\n

Quote:\u00a0 She said there was widespread opposition within the party but few dared to speak out, afraid of political retaliation in the form of internal party discipline and corruption charges. In this environment, Xi\u2019s \u201cunchecked power\u201d and hold on all major decision-making had led to inevitable mistakes such as in the handling of the Covid-19 outbreak, according to Cai.<\/p>\n

Beijing has blamed the suppression of information about the outbreak in Wuhan on local officials. Chinese health officials said on 20 January that the virus was contagious, weeks after it had emerged in December. But a speech published by the party magazine Qiushi showed that Xi met the politburo and gave instructions on the needed virus response on 7 January, almost two weeks before the public was warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he knew on 7 January, why did it take until 20 January to announce the outbreak? In other words, the fact that people were concealing the news from him is the result of the system,\u201d said Cai. \u201cBut when he knew the situation on 7 January, he did not make it public or mobilise resources. So shouldn\u2019t he bear responsibility?\u201d – article<\/p>\n

If he knew, why did he do nothing to warn the people he governs? He was given the position of president for life. The responsibility involves keeping China’s economy growing. Instead, he’s threatening the people of Hong Kong and Taiwan.<\/p>\n

As those of us who remember what happened in Tinanannmen Square know quite well, life can be short.<\/p>\n

I hope Cai Xia survives whatever happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
