XI JINPING(Chinas’s Leader) Speech

[Enigma777]

The following is a speech made by XI Jinping to the WEF in January 2022:

The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century. These changes, not limited to a particular moment, event, country or region, represent the profound and sweeping changes of our times. As changes of the times combine with the once-in-a-century pandemic, the world finds itself in a new period of turbulence and transformation. How to beat the pandemic and how to build the post-COVID world? These are major issues of common concern to people around the world. They are also major, urgent questions we must give answers to.

As a Chinese saying goes, "The momentum of the world either flourishes or declines; the state of the world either progresses or regresses." The world is always developing through the movement of contradictions; without contradiction, nothing would exist. The history of humanity is a history of achieving growth by meeting various tests and of developing by overcoming various crises. We need to move forward by following the logic of historical progress, and develop by riding the tide of development of our times.

Notwithstanding all vicissitudes, humanity will move on. We need to learn from comparing long history cycles, and see the change in things through the subtle and minute. We need to foster new opportunities amidst crises, open up new horizons on a shifting landscape, and pool great strength to go through difficulties and challenges.

First, we need to embrace cooperation and jointly defeat the pandemic. Confronted by the once-in-a-century pandemic, which will affect the future of humanity, the international community has fought a tenacious battle. Facts have shown once again that amidst the raging torrents of a global crisis, countries are not riding separately in some 190 small boats, but are rather all in a giant ship on which our shared destiny hinges. Small boats may not survive a storm, but a giant ship is strong enough to brave a storm. Thanks to the concerted efforts of the international community, major progress has been made in the global fight against the pandemic. That said, the pandemic is proving a protracted one, resurging with more variants and spreading faster than before. It poses a serious threat to people's safety and health, and exerts a profound impact on the global economy.

Strong confidence and cooperation represent the only right way to defeat the pandemic. Holding each other back or shifting blame would only cause needless delay in response and distract us from the overall objective. Countries need to strengthen international cooperation against COVID-19, carry out active cooperation on research and development of medicines, jointly build multiple lines of defense against the coronavirus, and speed up efforts to build a global community of health for all. Of particular importance is to fully leverage vaccines as a powerful weapon, ensure their equitable distribution, quicken vaccination and close the global immunization gap, so as to truly safeguard people's lives, health and livelihoods.

China is a country that delivers on its promises. China has already sent over two billion doses of vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations. Still, China will provide another one billion doses to African countries, including 600 million doses as donation, and will also donate 150 million doses to ASEAN countries.

Second, we need to resolve various risks and promote steady recovery of the world economy. The world economy is emerging from the depths, yet it still faces many constraints. The global industrial and supply chains have been disrupted. Commodity prices continue to rise. Energy supply remains tight. These risks compound one another and heighten the uncertainty about economic recovery. The global low inflation environment has notably changed, and the risks of inflation driven by multiple factors are surfacing. If major economies slam on the brakes or take a U-turn in their monetary policies, there would be serious negative spillovers. They would present challenges to global economic and financial stability, and developing countries would bear the brunt of it. In the context of ongoing COVID-19 response, we need to explore new drivers of economic growth, new modes of social life and new pathways for people-to-people exchange, in a bid to facilitate cross-border trade, keep industrial and supply chains secure and smooth, and promote steady and solid progress in global economic recovery.

Economic globalization is the trend of the times. Though countercurrents are sure to exist in a river, none could stop it from flowing to the sea. Driving forces bolster the river's momentum, and resistance may yet enhance its flow. Despite the countercurrents and dangerous shoals along the way, economic globalization has never and will not veer off course. Countries around the world should uphold true multilateralism. We should remove barriers, not erect walls. We should open up, not close off. We should seek integration, not decoupling. This is the way to build an open world economy. We should guide reforms of the global governance system with the principle of fairness and justice, and uphold the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization at its center. We should make generally acceptable and effective rules for artificial intelligence and digital economy on the basis of full consultation, and create an open, just and non-discriminatory environment for scientific and technological innovation. This is the way to make economic globalization more open, inclusive, balanced and beneficial for all, and to fully unleash the vitality of the world economy.

A common understanding among us is that to turn the world economy from crisis to recovery, it is imperative to strengthen macro-policy coordination. Major economies should see the world as one community, think in a more systematic way, increase policy transparency and information sharing, and coordinate the objectives, intensity and pace of fiscal and monetary policies, so as to prevent the world economy from plummeting again. Major developed countries should adopt responsible economic policies, manage policy spillovers, and avoid severe impacts on developing countries. International economic and financial institutions should play their constructive role to pool global consensus, enhance policy synergy and prevent systemic risks.

Third, we need to bridge the development divide and revitalize global development. The process of global development is suffering from severe disruption, entailing more outstanding problems like a widening North-South gap, divergent recovery trajectories, development fault-lines and a technological divide. The Human Development Index has declined for the first time in 30 years. The world's poor population has increased by more than 100 million. Nearly 800 million people live in hunger. Difficulties are mounting in food security, education, employment, medicine, health and other areas important to people's livelihoods. Some developing countries have fallen back into poverty and instability due to the pandemic. Many in developed countries are also living through a hard time.

No matter what difficulties may come our way, we must adhere to a people-centered philosophy of development, place development and livelihoods front and center in global macro-policies, realize the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and build greater synergy among existing mechanisms of development cooperation to promote balanced development worldwide. We need to uphold the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, promote international cooperation on climate change in the context of development, and implement the outcomes of COP26 to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Developed economies should take the lead in honoring their emissions reduction responsibilities, deliver on their commitment of financial and technological support, and create the necessary conditions for developing countries to address climate change and achieve sustainable development.

Last year, I put forward a Global Development Initiative at the UN General Assembly to draw international attention to the pressing challenges faced by developing countries. The Initiative is a public good open to the whole world, which aims to form synergy with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and boost common development across the world. China stands ready to work with all partners to jointly translate the Initiative into concrete actions and make sure that no country is left behind in this process.

Fourth, we need to discard Cold War mentality and seek peaceful coexistence and win-win outcomes. Our world today is far from being tranquil; rhetorics that stoke hatred and prejudice abound. Acts of containment, suppression or confrontation arising thereof do all harm, not the least good, to world peace and security. History has proved time and again that confrontation does not solve problems; it only invites catastrophic consequences. Protectionism and unilateralism can protect no one; they ultimately hurt the interests of others as well as one's own. Even worse are the practices of hegemony and bullying, which run counter to the tide of history. Naturally, countries have divergences and disagreements between them. Yet a zero-sum approach that enlarges one's own gain at the expense of others will not help. Acts of single-mindedly building "exclusive yards with high walls" or "parallel systems", of enthusiastically putting together exclusive small circles or blocs that polarize the world, of overstretching the concept of national security to hold back economic and technological advances of other countries, and of fanning ideological antagonism and politicizing or weaponizing economic, scientific and technological issues, will gravely undercut international efforts to tackle common challenges.

The right way forward for humanity is peaceful development and win-win cooperation. Different countries and civilizations may prosper together on the basis of respect for each other, and seek common ground and win-win outcomes by setting aside differences.

We should follow the trend of history, work for a stable international order, advocate common values of humanity, and build a community with a shared future for mankind. We should choose dialogue over confrontation, inclusiveness over exclusion, and stand against all forms of unilateralism, protectionism, hegemony or power politics.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

Last year, the Communist Party of China (CPC) celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding. Through a century of tenacious struggle, the CPC has rallied and led the Chinese people in accomplishing remarkable achievements in the advancement of the nation and betterment of people's lives. We have realized a moderately prosperous society in all respects and won the battle against poverty, both according to plan, and found a historic solution to ending absolute poverty. Now, China is marching on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in all respects.

-- China will stay committed to pursuing high-quality development. The Chinese economy enjoys a good momentum overall. Last year, our GDP grew by around eight percent, achieving the dual target of fairly high growth and relatively low inflation. Shifts in the domestic and international economic environment have brought tremendous pressure, but the fundamentals of the Chinese economy, characterized by strong resilience, enormous potential and long-term sustainability, remain unchanged. We have every confidence in the future of China's economy.

"The wealth of a country is measured by the abundance of its people." Thanks to considerable economic growth, the Chinese people are living much better lives. Nonetheless, we are soberly aware that to meet people's aspiration for an even better life, we still have much hard work to do in the long run. China has made it clear that we strive for more visible and substantive progress in the well-rounded development of individuals and the common prosperity of the entire population. We are working hard on all fronts to deliver this goal. The common prosperity we desire is not egalitarianism. To use an analogy, we will first make the pie bigger, and then divide it properly through reasonable institutional arrangements. As a rising tide lifts all boats, everyone will get a fair share from development, and development gains will benefit all our people in a more substantial and equitable way.

-- China will stay committed to reform and opening-up. For China, reform and opening-up is always a work in process. Whatever change in the international landscape, China will always hold high the banner of reform and opening-up. China will continue to let the market play a decisive role in resource allocation, and see to it that the government better plays its role. We will be steadfast in consolidating and developing the public sector, just as we are steadfast in encouraging, supporting and guiding the development of the non-public sector. We will build a unified, open, competitive and orderly market system, where all businesses enjoy equal status before the law and have equal opportunities in the marketplace. All types of capital are welcome to operate in China in compliance with laws and regulations, and play a positive role for the development of the country. China will continue to expand high-standard opening-up, steadily advance institutional opening-up that covers rules, management and standards, deliver national treatment for foreign businesses, and promote high-quality Belt and Road cooperation. With the entry into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) on 1 January this year, China will faithfully fulfill its obligations and deepen economic and trade ties with other RCEP parties. China will also continue to work for the joining of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA), with a view to further integrating into the regional and global economy and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results.

-- China will stay committed to promoting ecological conservation. As I have said many times, we should never grow the economy at the cost of resource depletion and environmental degradation, which is like draining a pond to get fish; nor should we sacrifice growth to protect the environment, which is like climbing a tree to catch fish. Guided by our philosophy that clean waters and green mountains are just as valuable as gold and silver, China has carried out holistic conservation and systematic governance of its mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, grasslands and deserts. We do everything we can to conserve the ecological system, intensify pollution prevention and control, and improve the living and working environment for our people. China is now putting in place the world's largest national parks system. Last year, we successfully hosted COP15 to the Convention on Biological Diversity, contributing China's share to a clean and beautiful world.

Achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality are the intrinsic requirements of China's own high-quality development and a solemn pledge to the international community. China will honor its word and keep working toward its goal. We have unveiled an Action Plan for Carbon Dioxide Peaking Before 2030, to be followed by implementation plans for specific sectors such as energy, industry and construction. China now has the world's biggest carbon market and biggest clean power generation system: the installed capacity of renewable energy has exceeded one billion kilowatts, and the construction of wind and photovoltaic power stations with a total installed capacity of 100 million kilowatts is well under way. Carbon peak and carbon neutrality cannot be realized overnight. Through solid and steady steps, China will pursue an orderly phase-down of traditional energy in the course of finding reliable substitution in new energy. This approach, which combines phasing out the old and bringing in the new, will ensure steady economic and social development. China will also actively engage in international cooperation on climate and jointly work for a complete transition to a greener economy and society

You only need to read a couple of paragraphs to see that this was written by a smart and very rational person. Also, with his talk of unity instead of separateness and his diplomatic attitude you could mistake this man for a pretty conscious individual(Green/Yellow)

My inquiry here is how can an obviously authoritarian, traumatized(if you know anything about his background) dictator can be able to utter such words. Now you’ll tell me someone wrote it for him, but still, this was written by a member of the Chinese Communist Party which is a low consciousness organization that uses tyranny, propaganda and all kind of authoritarian tactics to stay in total control of their people. So how can anybody in this government have written such a deceptive speech from a seemingly high consciousness point of view. This is very confusing and wondering if anybody has an idea.

my theory would be that there’s a gap between intellectual and conscious understanding. Like Ken Wilber pointed out individuals can have very developed intellects but very low consciousness and vice versa. So maybe, just like ChatGPT is able to write from a SP stage Yellow/Turquoise without having any grasp of what it’s actually doing, well in the same way maybe these people intellectually grasped what would’ve been politically correct to utter in the context of the World Economic Forum and have written these words which are, ultimately empty.

   This is correct, in fact Daniel Schmachtenberger has said in his article on good faith communication that these can be falsely signalled while appearing truthful.

You can only precisely affirm this from inside the CCP. There's anti-communist propaganda, as much as there is communist propaganda.

We are so removed from accurate descriptions of China that I cannot trust anything people talk about it. I can only hope that this is sincere.

[Jodistrict]

Your confusion is in the erroneous assumption that the CCP is low consciousness.   The US has two parties that follow the same foreign policy.  The CCP has one party, but has demonstrated great flexibility in developing new policies.   The US is aggressive and determined to be the hegemon of the world.  The China policy, which is to be a regional power, is actually modest and reasonable for a country their size.  China also has shown forward thinking in their development of trade agreements with Africa and Latin America, while the US spends trillions of dollars in senseless wars in the Middle East.  China shows respect for the countries they deal with by keeping out of their politics. 

[Hardkill]

Why did the CCP allow Xi Jinping to have absolute power?!

Who will be able to hold him accountable or keep him in check?

[puporing]

it's a tough job to be the head of a large country, even if not the most conscious one it requires a highly intelligent, wise, and relatively selfless being. yes even the leader of the CCP can channel God at times without knowing it, especially one that succeeds at retaining their position of leadership. 

actually come to think of it most of the late heads of state of the CCP come off as "wise" individuals to me. I don't think you can survive long in that environment without it, an incredible amount of intelligence seems to be required to hold that position, I don't even wish it on anyone it's like walking on a thread with fire below you.

Yeah, but it doesn't explain to me why Xi Jinping should be allowed no limits to his power.

that's up to the universe to decide/balance out in the end. not much use fretting over it... there's hardly any direct control we have with our own governments and institutions.

Well, of course there is nothing we can do about it, but I just don't understanding why there aren't any check and balances for the entire government of the CCP in order to hold each branch of government accountable and to limit the amount of corruption in China.

I think because there's even greater emphasis of "the matrix" there. it's like a hivemind mindset. so..any problems would require the collective to raise enough consciousness to correct since open disagreements are not allowed nor accepted. why is that? maybe related to the long history of being ruled by emperors treated like Gods.

cracks are forming though. just the sheer number of people who leave China is a sign of the cracks.

Obviously Xi doesn't have 'absolute power'. China isn't a monarchy like Saudi Arabia.

China has a ruling class, as do Western democracies, not a dictatorship. The core power of the Chinese ruling class is shared by the Politburo Standing Committee.

I though Xi Jinping has now been granted absolute power or near absolute power like a totalitarian socialist dictator such as Mao or Stalin. They say that the country under his reign has become increasingly authoritarian as he continues to rule more and more with an iron fist.

Right, but what about equality including economic equality. That's what socialism was supposed to be about.

Also, more people in China are becoming bold and angry enough to protest against the CCP.

[thenondualtankie]

The explanation is the China is misunderstood by the West.  As well as many things that are believed to be true about China yet are not.

there's not much of socialism there right now as far as I know, it's hyper-capitalist with a ruling class, it was better as far as I know about 20-30 years ago but now from the sound of it it's hyper-capital. 

idk how that'll go, we'll see. anyone with high intelligence and sense of self-direction in China wouldn't wanna stay there if they can help it I think.

Yeah because he systematically purged the other factions within the CCP that provided at least a bit of accountability. If you recall Hu Jintao getting escorted out of a meeting by guards last year and Li Keqiang getting sacked from the premier role. He's putting his allies in all of the top positions so no one can question him.

So, why can't China's Congress, courts, law enforcement, or military put a check to his power?

Trump failed to take over the country and overturn the 2020 election like a dictator because of the checks and balances we have in America.

America is built on democracy fundamentally. Human rights are at the core of the political system along with freedom of speech which allows different individuals with different point of views to express their ideas freely as long as these ideas are not dangerous. The political atmosphere in China is totally different. The Chinese communist party is ruling. On a spectrum of individuality and collectivism communism is more on the collectivist side where there is an erasing of the individual that takes place for the thriving of the larger unit. Although they claim communist ideology their system is more akin to authoritarian capitalism. So the socio-political state of the country is such that no other ideology than the main ideology of the ruling party is even LEGAL. Which means that there is no place for conflicting perspectives, debates or any of that that Americans take for granted. The CCP has total dominion over China. When it comes to law enforcement and the military they are unconscious agents who will obey the command of whoever is in charge and lends order(think nazi Germany). So the moral and ethical questions do not cross the mind of MOST individuals who are in the military and such, they follow commands and do as they are told no matter how awful it can be and if you don’t believe me then you just don’t know about human nature.

So the CCP uses law enforcement and the military to suppress anybody who opposes them. They use the courts to establish false trials and throw their opponents in jail, not according to a set of established moral laws but according to who agrees with them or not PERIOD. They own the media and generate propaganda in their country to project the most positive image of themselves and keep people asleep all while ruling with an iron fist. So there is nobody to check XI Jinping, his government is the only one allowed. Even though there is technically other sub-parties, they are all under the authority of the CCP and no opposition is allowed. It’s just like if, during trumps presidency, he would’ve used the police and the army to throw all members of opposing parties in jail and had taken control of all U.S states. Now the people would’ve never allowed that because of the principle that America has been built upon but chinas cultural background is different.
