| Xi Sets Out What He Is Thinking, the road ahead for China 2020-2035 and 2035-2050 |

| [ChinaBystander] Xi Jinping Thought comprises 14 bullets points that, in short, reiterate that the Party leads everything. However, the sense of marking an epoch is as palpable as it is deliberate. Xi portrays his China as one that will have become a global leader with international influence, a modern economy, advanced culture and world-class armed forces. This future will come in two 15-year phases, 2020-2035 and 2035-2050. The first phase will focus on turning fast growth into high-quality development, the deliverance of a "moderately prosperous society". The second will turn China, by then likely the world's largest economy, into Beautiful China, some nirvana-like flowering of a great modern socialist country-cum-superpower, and to do so, conveniently, in time for the 2049 centenary of the revolution that brought Mao and the Party to power. (Poverty is to be eradicated by the centenary of the Party's founding, 2021.) The first phase involves moving ahead with the rebalancing of the economy towards consumption-led growth that has been haltingly underway for some time. The financial system will become more market-based, and state-owned enterprises will be turned into world-class, globally competitive firm. China will become more open to foreign investors. Rule by law will be enhanced. Greater environmental protections introduced. The modernization of the PLA will be completed by 2035, giving China a world-class military, for which read on par with or better than the United States'. Diplomatically, China will pursue global development in partnership with other countries, though it will create an alternative (and Beijing-led) global order architecture to be the framework for that. Alongside that, it will seek to strengthen its cultural soft power. Meanwhile, internally the anti-corruption campaign will continue to ensure the Party does not rot from the inside. And loyalty to the party and central leadership group must be absolute. I'm not sure which is worse, a future led by China or a future led by our existing globalist elites. |

| #2 China has not been promised a Mandate. Far from it. But India, maybe I could go there after the democrats and moslems finish America off. I only talked about China because they were becoming the largest Christian Nation in the world. Who knows. Spin the marxist wheel where everyone loses - I won't be there. I HATE Communism, China. And you suck at running anything with that useless ideology. Lucky for US |
