When I think about Xi’s published writings which I saw recently here or on Hexbear described as a bunch of speeches from ribbon cutting ceremonies, is it right to conceive of this as his thought being related to party discipline, strengthening of the party, which can also be seen in his anti-corruption purges? I was reading xiaohongshu’s latest post talking about 3 CMC officials being purged - it seems to me both China and America have purged their upper ranks which I think corresponds with the qualitative shifts taking place in warfare at this moment. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.
I can’t speak on the purges [probably related to corruption in China’s case], but Xi’s works are mainly speeches but they vary in terms of what they’re about and where they are at.
In some cases they are ribbon cuttiing ceremonies, but in others its general speeches to organizations, universities, etc.
In any case Xi Jinping thought is a genuine refinement of Socialism with Chinese Charecteristics, and Governance of China explains the main goals quite clearly.
thank you
