Xi Jinping's anti-corruption crackdown in China

Q: How do you think history will judge Xi Jinping's anti-corruption crackdown in China?

A:

Xi will be remembered as a great stateman. Xi is a great stateman pushing the world for the better. All the Western politicians dare not touch the interest of some internet groups. That’s why the West is in a decline.

Many affairs consider corruption in China are considered normal in the West.

For example, the Green Belt Scandal of Premier Doug Ford of Ontario is definitely corruption in China and Ford would have been put into jail if such a thing happened in China. Yet, many consider it a triumph forcing Ford to undo the Green Belt violation, and Ford continues as usual. That’s not right. The corruption will happen repeatedly because there is no loss but a chance of gain. You can always get away with it even if the corruption is exposed. The same is true for Hunter Biden's tax affairs. And Trump. President Clinton had an affair with “that woman”, and got away with it. Trudeau has been exposed to having luxurious expenses billing the government many times when homelessness increased dramatically.

Progress is made by changing the status quo of the interest groups in society. When the interest groups have more power than the government, or the government is an interest group itself, the society cannot progress, and even decline.

Corruption is using public power for the interest of some wealthy and prestige groups. The West legalized the corruption and increasingly legitimate interest groups. That’s why we don’t see statesmen in the West anymore. The Western governments are filled with politicians each is backed by one or more interest groups. They are supposed to protect the interest of the public, instead, they only protect the interest of one or some groups who have money to put him or her into government.

That’s capitalism. Capitalism is corrupt by design. Money is more powerful than state power because state power is “elected” by the money.

Since Deng’s opening and reform, corruption has flowed into China together with foreign capital. Every leader of China vowed to reduce corruption but failed, until Xi. The West was very confident that they could corrupt China by asking China to adopt the Western political system and legitimate the corruption.

The West blames China has no human rights. Yes, many so-called human rights are not allowed in China. For example, government officials cannot have a luxurious life even if they have enough money to afford luxury. This of course violates the Western “human rights”. Why officials cannot spend their own money as they like? In the West, this is a basic “human right”. Not in China. If poor people are living a low standard of living, government officials are demoted if their living standard is too luxurious.

We witness the increasing government debt of the US government and the governments of the allies countries. They have no means to address social problems except to increase the government expending. Why did Obamacare fail? Obama said that the healthcare system was too expensive which hindered the economic development, that’s why he wanted Obamacare. Yet was Obamacare more effective and less expensive? On the contrary, Obamacare was more expensive. Why? Every policy of the government has to protect interest groups. The interests of the interested groups cannot be reduced by any policies. Any change or any legislation will increase the interest of one or some groups, That’s why the debt of the US government will continue to climb up, exponentially.

A man who can push for the progress of society must fight the interest groups, not protect them. China is the only hope and future of mankind because Xi can crack down on corruption and make progress. None of the Western leaders is capable of making any progress because they dare not crack down on corruption, and even worse, they are corrupt themselves.

China, under Xi, is the only government for the people of China and of the world. Other governments are incapable of serving people because they are unable to fight corruption.

When we observe that Xi is cracking down on corruption and the US cannot, we know China's rise is inevitable. How many celebrities and Western leaders were involved in the scandal of Jeffrey Epstein's private island? This is corruption. How does the West treat this corruption? Downplay it and hope the public can forget it. So we know the decline of the West is also inevitable because its elites and leaders are all corrupt, together with the mainstream media. Why does the media refuse to mention Jeffrey Epstein's private island every time it reports those countries whose leaders are involved in the scandal? The West has been corrupted to the degree of shamelessness.
