Preparations for the 20th CCP Congress to be held in the autumn season of 2022 had started in February this year. It also included a senior leadership change.
Chinese President Xi Jinping
In China, 2022 is going to be extremely important for President Xi Jinping. The reason behind this is that general elections are to be held next year. In addition to being the country’s president, Xi Jinping is also the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Jinping has introduced a new idea to regain power in China. Actually, the Chinese President has changed the rules and regulations of the CCP to a great extent for his re-election.
Chinese political commentators say that this is a sign of the deepening autocracy of the CCP and Xi’s return to the Mao regime. Preparations started for the 20th CCP Congress to be held in the autumn season of 2022 only in February this year. It also included a senior leadership change. The Regulation on Protection of Rights of CCP Members was issued by the CCP Central Committee on 4 January. People called it the ‘Gang Rule of the CCP’. This regulation was quite different from the 2004 version and the original version of 1994.
Older version includes fewer chapters and articles
If this new regulation is seen in terms of its length and the content it contains, then the new version has eight chapters and 52 articles. This is much more than the five chapters and 38 articles of the revised version of 2004. At the same time, in the original version of 1994, there were only six chapters and 35 articles. The trial version of 1194 stated that this law has been enacted to promote inter-party democracy, inter-party life reform and the common practice of the rights of party members and their rights.
The new version focuses on the leadership of the party
A lot of changes have been made in the new version brought in 2021. It emphasizes on maintaining the leadership of the party. It also talks about strengthening party building, promoting democracy within the party, protecting the rights of party members and enhancing the vitality of the party. The old version aimed at advancing or developing democracy within the party. While the focus of the new version is on maintaining leadership within the party. Leadership here is meant to keep Jinping in power.
