Xi Jinping
China's new paramount leader, Xi Jinping, is making the fight against corruption his No. 1 mission. In several speeches since he took over the reins of the Communist Party last November, he has warned that corruption could lead to "the collapse of the Party and the downfall of the state.” Xi sees corruption as a threat to the party's legitimacy.
Xi Jinping
Xi is systematically undermining virtually every feature that made China so distinct and helped it work so well in the past. His efforts may boost his own power and prestige in the short term and reduce some forms of corruption. On balance, however, Xi's campaign will have disastrous long-term consequences for his country and the world.
Xi Jinping
According to Pompeo [U.S. Secretary of State], CCP general secretary Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China (CCP) harbor a "decades-long desire for global hegemony.” This is ironic. Only one country – the US – has a defense strategy calling for it to be the "preeminent military power in the world,” with "favorable regional balances of power in the Indo-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and the Western Hemisphere.”
China's defense white paper, by contrast, states that "China will never follow the beaten track of big powers in seeking hegemony,” and that, "As economic globalization, the information society, and cultural diversification develop in an increasingly multi-polar world, peace, development, and win-win cooperation remain the irreversible trends of the times.”
US military spending totaled $732 billion in 2019, nearly three times the $261 billion China spent. The US.. has around 800 overseas military bases, while China has just one (a small naval base in Djibouti).
