Xi Jinpingism, Hereditary Rule, and North Korea: What Is Really Happening in Beijing?
🚨 Is This an Overinterpretation?
A Douyin creator has appeared on Chinese social media who clearly imitates Xi Jinping’s New Year’s address. The figure looks like a younger female version of Xi Jinping—or perhaps Xi’s daughter—and appears to have been AI-generated.
Yet, unusually, the account has not been shut down.
Meanwhile, Wang Huning—often described as the “ideological mentor to three generations of Chinese leaders”—a member of the CCP Politburo Standing Committee and chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, will lead a Chinese party and government delegation on an official goodwill visit to North Korea from July 15 to 17, shortly after Xi Jinping’s recent visit to the country.
In addition, on July 10, the People’s Daily, the CCP’s top official newspaper, published an article titled “North Korea’s Socialist Construction Brims with Vitality,” praising North Korea’s “achievements.”
The article stated:
“In recent years, North Korea has advanced the comprehensive development of the country and worked to improve people’s livelihoods. From cities to rural areas, and from the central government to localities, a number of major construction projects have achieved encouraging progress, injecting vibrant vitality into socialist construction.”
As a result, some people are saying that Xi Jinping may be preparing to emulate North Korea by establishing hereditary rule, and that Wang Huning is being sent there to learn more from the North Korean model.
A month ago, the Canada-based YouTuber known as Lao Deng claimed that Xi Jinping planned to discard Marxism-Leninism, which had supposedly “completed its historical mission,” and “reestablish the central role of Chinese civilization.”
According to Lao Deng, Xi intended to create a new national theoretical system for the “new era,” with national rejuvenation as its highest goal, the continuation of civilization as its central mission, the perpetuation of the state as its fundamental principle, and long-term stability as its basic structure.
Its main elements would reportedly include the principle of national unity, the preservation of state unity, ethnic integration, and civilizational identity.
This new theoretical system would be called “Xi Jinpingism (习近平主义),” or “New Three Principles of the People (新三民主义),” and was allegedly devised by Wang Huning for Xi Jinping.
Lao Deng also claimed that these ideas had already been incorporated into a document titled “Several Opinions on Upgrading the National Theoretical System for the New Era,” which had reportedly been circulated by the CCP General Office to lower levels.
So, is it possible that the CCP regime is preparing to move even closer to North Korea, both theoretically and in practice?
However, independent commentator Jiang Feng says that anti-Xi forces now have Xi Jinping firmly under their control.
Former Shanghai businessman Hu Liren (also Michael Hu), meanwhile, argues that the descendants of senior CCP military officers and red elites, led by Deng Xiaoping's son Deng Pufang, are pressuring Xi to step down by the end of August.
Among all these rumors circulating in political circles, which one do you believe?
