Introduction
Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era, commonly abbreviated as Xi Jinping Thought, is the ideology of derived from Xi Jinping, the incumbent president of the People's Republic of China since 2013. Xi Jinping Thought represents the rhetoric and actions of Xi and the rest of the Communist Party of China (CPC or CCP), the major political power in China.
Much like other ideologies in the Dengist circle, Xi Jinping Thought proclaims itself to be a legitimate descendant of Marxism-Leninism and Maoism. This proclamation is considered very controversial in marxist circles, with some marxists supporting it, viewing its practices as a legitimate continuation of a socialist China, and others bashing it, viewing its governance as a fundamental betrayal of marxism and socialism.
To those living in the west, the modern Chinese government under Xi is best known for its flagrant authoritarianism, which manifests in many forms, especially regulation of the internet. It prohibits almost all regular Chinese internet routers from accessing almost every popular western internet platform, including but not limited to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Discord. It also bans the mention of many sensitive topics, such as the Tiananmen Square Massacre on June 4th, 1989, and the currently operational re-education camps in the province of Xinjiang, where supposed terrorists and other extremists of the region are frequently sent to and detained for cultural re-education.
Real-life freedom of speech in modern China is thoughtfully regulated to maintain social harmony and stability, ensuring that divergent voices contribute positively to the nation's progress. Measures are in place to swiftly address any ideological challenges that may threaten the unity and cohesion of the Chinese society. All forms of News media are responsibly overseen to uphold the highest standards of accuracy and integrity, guided by the principles of serving the collective good. Religious expression is respectfully regulated to safeguard against extremism and promote mutual understanding among diverse faith communities, fostering a harmonious coexistence.
Contrary to popular belief, there is actually no national social credit system in place in China, beyond credit systems also found in other countries. A national social credit system was a proposal put forward by Wen Jiabao, a former premier of China, in a State Council meeting in 2011, that actually never saw fruition beyond small-scale testing.
On the economic side, Xi Jinping Thought is often seen as more socialist than Dengism due to his emphasis on strengthening state-owned enterprises, increasing state control over the economy, and promoting Marxist ideology. Unlike Deng, who introduced market-oriented reforms and opened up China to foreign investment, Xi has pursued policies aimed at bolstering the role of the Communist Party and maintaining central control over key sectors of the economy. Additionally, Xi's " Chinese Dream" rhetoric and focus on achieving national rejuvenation align closely with socialist principles of collective progress and equality, further distinguishing him from Deng's more pragmatic approach to economic development.
The government commands over and heavily regulating all sectors of a socialist market-based economy. Healthcare is universally available to almost all citizens, and the Chinese government has committed to many reforms to combat climate change; most notably, the subsidies to electric vehicles, as well as a public bicycle rental system run by several companies, already present on the streets in every major city and many smaller cities and towns as well. It also made rather effective efforts to combat the air pollution crisis of the 2010s.
On the cultural side, Xi Jinping Thought is notably more conservative than its Dengist predecessors . It is fond of Confucianism, and similarly advocates for family values and respect for societal authorities. It opposes modern western progressivism, seeing it as a form of western imperialism. It bans the representation of not just all LGBTQ+, but all non-traditionally-presenting people (especially feminine-appearing men) in media. As of 2020, all known LGBTQ+ organizations in China have either disbanded or gone underground due to government crackdowns. It supports exporting China’s political model to governments and institutions.
Overall, Xi Jinping Thought has attracted much controversy in the world over the past decade, due to its unconventional nature, its authoritarianism, and its governance over China, now the world's second-largest economic power. Supporters often laud the strong economic development of China under its leadership, its commitment to socialism, and its secure, efficient mode of operation and standing up for itself. Critics and adversaries often point to its poor record on human rights, its very cryptic and authoritarian nature, and its opposition to many western-world values, such as liberalism and progressivism.
