Whither China? After Xi Jinping’s Speech at the CCP Congress
Xi was also realistic or modest enough to announce a ‘moderately prosperous society’ by 2025, while our ‘Vision 2025’ promises absolutely ‘prosperous’ or rather a ‘rich’ economy by that time!
(October 22, 2017, Sydney, Sri Lanka Guardian) It
is not completely an unanticipated speech by President Xi Jinping,
nevertheless revealing new directions for the party, country and foreign
policy. Thus it has implications for the world at large. This time, it
was a marathon speech of three and half hours showing his seriousness,
determination and epoch making character. In the Chinese system of
politics, the party congress is not merely about the party, but also
about the country. What is decided there is decisive. This is the 19th
congress since 1921, that means held on every five years.
