| '''Xiism''' is the political philosophy practised by Xi Jinping.
| |
| ==History==
| |
| After [[File:XiJinpingThoughtf.png]] Xi Jinping became Paramount Leader in 2012, Jiang Zemin's power and influence over Chinese politics declined rapidly due to Xi's [[File:Anti-Corrupt.png]] Anti-Corruption Campaign which saw the arrests of hundreds and thousands of corrupt party members and billionaires, many of whom had been Jiang's allies. Xi Jinping has increased state control over the Chinese economy and clamp down on monopolies and corporations. He also banned private tutoring and home-schooling in 2022 which had become a market of its own and gave an advantage to rich kids wanting to get into prestigious universities. This is called the "Double reduction" policy. Xi's choice to ban private tutoring was met with much criticism by former private tutors and the families who paid for such services for their kids. Actually, Xi's direct aim is to help him cope with the "Three Children" policy of China's aging population by reducing the cost of education. The fundamental purpose is still to maintain the socialist system. Because the salaries of extracurricular tutoring institutions are high, many famous teachers have flowed into informal institutions to make big money, which has become an asset chain. Of course, this can not be completely banned. On the contrary, it also leads to the more practice of "one-to-one" private tutoring, because only large-scale educational tutoring institutions are prohibited. This indirectly increases the academic pressure and educational competition, and gives more advantages to those who can afford the high cost of "one-to-one" tuition.

| | |
| In order to cope with China's aging population, Xi proposed the "Three Children" policy. In fact, this policy is in vain, because in China's medium-sized cities, if the total annual income of both parents is less than 1.2 million yuan, it is basically impossible to raise three children. But in fact, the combined annual salary of most parents is less than 300000 yuan. Later, plans of restricting non-medically necessary abortion were then implemented in 2022 to prevent [[File:Mansphere.png]] selective abortion based on gender which plays a key contribution to sex ratio imbalance, another factor of gradual solution of overpopulation since the beginning of the "One-child policy".
| |
| | |
| Xi also recently propose a common prosperity policy which aims to unite China in economy and prosperity with increasing the middle class and reduce wealth gaps especially between urban and rural. This is Xi's idea for building socialism. According to Bloomberg, In Xi’s eyes, there will be only one China — not a veritable collection of feudal states of varying wealth (despite the fact that China was already unitary since the Qin).
| |
| | |
| Under Xi's rule, censorship increased and state control over the Chinese people's lives increased. China’s implementation of its Zero Covid policy and lockdown of cities to test the extent of control the government could exert on ordinary citizens. Two other examples are removing the term limits from the presidential post.

| | |
| China's confrontation with the United States and its allies over the status of ethnic minorities in China escalated during this time. According to sources like Amnesty International, UN Human Rights Council, and other human rights organizations, there are human rights abuses and cultural genocide in Xinjiang. The UN report points out wide abuse of Uyghurs’ rights, tortures, slave labour in Xinjiang and Tibet, and crimes against humanity committed by the Chinese authorities. Although it declined to use the “genocide” label.<ref>[https://news.un.org/en/tags/uyghur], United Nations.org.</ref><ref> [https://www.ohchr.org/en/documents/country-reports/ohchr-assessment-human-rights-concerns-xinjiang-uyghur-autonomous-region ''"Assessment of Human Rights concerns in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region"''], OHCHR.org.</ref> Most countries allied to the US believe its existence and say it is the Uyghur Genocide and believe that 1-2 million Uyghurs are in concentration camps. However, many Muslim countries, such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Iran, as well as other countries that have friendly relations with China, disagree with this assessment.At the same time, the Chinese government has pushed back against this claim, condemning the countries that made the reports and publicizing more about Xinjiang's governance at the UN Human Rights Council.This does undermine the credibility of the contents of the report. Many point out declining birth rates of the Uyghurs as genocide. However there are also many reports that the one child, two child, and three child policies were never applied to Uyghurs and only applied recently. The PRC officially denies all allegations and calls it a conspiracy theory of the “anti-China Foreign Hostile Forces” and believe that there is a contradiction of sources of what's really going on in Xinjiang. It can be seen that for outsiders, the situation of the main ethnic minorities in China is unknown. Because this matter has been used in the propaganda confrontation between countries.

| Xiism has an agenda of "Chinese Rejuvenation", aiming on reviving the Chinese nation to it's ‘former glory’.
| |
| | |
| '''Belt and Road Initiative''' - One of his programs were the One Belt One Road Initiative, aiming to build infrastructure in third world country, which the West criticizes as "debt trapping". One example is Sir Lanka’s inability to pay off the debts of China, causing a severe economic crisis in the country that could lead to bankruptcy, However it should be known Chinese debts only made up 10% with owing Japan even more debt (12%) along with many other and other countries like India along with most of the debt owing to the World Bank.

| | |
| Basic workers’ rights in China under Xi's era are still poor, and the infamous scandal of 996{{Refn|''"996"'' refers to 12 working hours (usually from '''9'''AM to '''9'''PM in '''6''' working days per week)|group=Note}} for Chinese IT workers is an example (although Xi Jinping later made it illegal<ref>[https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-08-27/china-s-top-court-says-excessive-996-work-culture-is-illegal ''"China's Top Court says excessive 996 work culture is illegal"''], Bloomberg.</ref>).

| The conditions of Chinese laborers, especially rural migrant workers in cities are generally bad with low wages and long hours of work. Unlike the Marxist ideal of emancipation of the working class, China does not have a good track record on workers. <ref>[https://www.ituc-csi.org/IMG/pdf/ituc_globalrightsindex_2020_en.pdf], ituc-sci.org.</ref> <ref>[https://www.ituc-csi.org/2021-global-rights-index], ituc-csi.org.</ref>

| Rural areas have usually been left out of China's prosperity though making a gap between the rural and urban. Originally there were very low wages for Chinese workers with long hours. Xi has recently putting out a policy known as Common prosperity policy which stresses the need for more say for workers in working conditions and to make sure prosperity in China goes to all people from urban to rural and closing the gap as well as raise in wages and increase of wage laws causing some companies to even move to Vietnam because Chinese labor gotten more expensive. Xi emphasizes common prosperity with his new economic policy and unity of the Chinese economy, as well as poverty programs to combat rural poverty, which has resulted in the rapid fall of poverty in rural China. Though Xi doesn't like welfare and doesn't want to use welfare in building his idea of socialism. However, some say that the progress of the Common Prosperity policy is stalling and it hasn’t achieved its goals.<ref>[https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/xi-jinpings-common-prosperity-was-everywhere-but-china-backed-off-11648978380 ''"Xi Jinping's 'Common Prosperity' was everywhere, but China backed off"''], Wall Street Journal.</ref>

| | |
| In diplomacy, Xi appears to be more tactful (based on his so-called peace thinking). "We have reservations about this (我们对此持保留态度)" is one of the most common remarks made by his diplomats on the international situation. This is a very vague term in Chinese, which generally represents the style of officials and institutions to protect themselves. Of course, people do not want Xi to use force or too radical words in foreign relations such as "War wolf" diplomatic rhetoric.
| |
| | |
| Xi's political education seems particularly successful. The Communist Party of China has developed a software called "Learning Power (学习强国)" for Party members to learn and exchange politics. Chinese people can often see students of all ages write letters of respect to him in this software. <s>Though this might be because of censorship and also cult of personality.</s>
| |
| | |
| Xi’s international reputation has suffered a blow in recent years, especially among western countries with many people expressing their concerns over China’s hyper-authoritarianism and economic influence in the world with China’s growing aggressive policy in South China Sea and Taiwan Strait, as well as the crackdown against HK protesters and Uyghurs.

| From the end of November to the beginning of December 2022, demonstrations against the dynamic zero clearing policy broke out in many parts of China. This hit Xi's reputation again. He has almost lost credibility in some cities with large demonstrations in China, especially among young people and students. As for the excuse of "infiltration of foreign forces" that he always used for demonstrations, the students quoted a line in the Death of Stalin, "foreign forces? Which? Damn the moon?" to refute him. This is because China has a network firewall, epidemic prevention and control, strict exit and entry policies, and selective information shielding to shape the completely correct image of the Chinese government in the minds of citizens. Therefore, it is difficult for foreign forces to contact people at home, and it is also difficult for people at home to know the real situation abroad, except for the information about foreign political scandals pushed to them through the news media. (Most people believe in this situation, but through Chinese citizens scattered overseas , some Chinese people have a clear understanding of other countries. In fact, Chinese people have another way to access the international network through VPN or overseas agents, but few of them want to view political content, most of them just play international games or watch stars live.)
