![]() While the Chinese are building their military capability at breakneck speed, the US under Biden is building a formidable military alliance of like minded democracies in the Indo- Pacific region and beyond. However, as of now, there is severe disparity between US and China’s military power and China has no stomach to fight the US. Over the years, the CCP has built its military with breakneck urgency and built aircraft carriers, stealth bombers and supersonic missiles in preparation for a war against the US in its attempt to occupy Taiwan. They have therefore been working to catch up with the US to gain parity right from the time they came to power in 1949. However, the US has been the stumbling block to realize that goal. The CCP has long cherished the ambition to occupy Taiwan just as it did Tibet. That’s why, even though many are aghast at Xi’s audacity to challenge Deng’s edict, they are going along with him to save the CCP regime. Dictator Xi is said to have strong influence among many factions of the PLA by virtue of his father’s legacy as a CCP revolutionary. The CCP is worried that if there isn’t a person in the helm who has the support of the PLA and the Law enforcement forces, there is danger of public discontent that can boil into open revolt against the regime. In Thailand, the Thai people have been fighting the Thai military’s autocratic rule while in Myanmar, there is a civil war between the dictatorial military junta and the democratic forces of the Burmese people! The quest for freedom is a human nature and to keep denying that freedom goes against the law of nature. They have witnessed the demise of the erstwhile Soviet Union and the People’s Velvet Revolution across Eastern Europe which over -threw the communist regimes of the whole of Eastern Europe. The demonstrations in Hong Kong for freedom and democracy, the success of democracy in Taiwan have given grave concerns about their ability to keep the tight grip they held until now. The first, the CCP is gravely concerned about retaining its strangle hold on the Chinese people. There are two reasons for dictator Xi to seek a third term. It is therefore likely that if he gets the third time, he is free to remain as long as he likes since he would use the 1.5 million police force and the more than two million PLA to retain his grip on power. The 20th CCP gathering is under way which is said to propel dictator Xi to his third term! He has broken the two term stipulated by Deng. A drama recapping the highlights of the last 10 years of Mr Xi’s rule has begun airing on primetime television, while similarly themed exhibitions are being held around the country,” the BBC reported, suggesting how the frustrations from restrictive measures juxtaposed the celebratory tone with which the government and state-run media are trying to portray the present sentiments of the country. “Red banners marking the congress have popped up around the capital and popular mobile apps have changed their display colours to red. The demonstration comes at a crucial time as anger among the public mounts just days before the week-long Party Congress that is set to begin on Sunday with around 2,300 top officials and party delegates in the capital. According to BBC, authorities have tightened restrictions in the city by shutting out travelers, local residents and deliveries. One man was reportedly heard chanting slogans at the same spot.Īlthough no reports of arrest have been noted, the protest appeared to have been stopped by the authorities immediately. Thick smoke can be seen at the site of the protest in the images although the cause of that smoke is unknown at the moment. By not being slaves, we can be citizens.” The other banner called on the residents to go on strike at school or work to “remove dictator and national traitor Xi Jinping”. Images showed two banners on Sitong bridge in Haidian district in Beijing that read, “No Covid test, we want to eat. 13: A rare protest in Beijing against President Xi Jinping and the government’s mismanagement of the Covid-19 pandemic has been reported by several media outlets on Thursday in the lead up to the 20 th Party Congress.
