Xi Jinping Thought

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 Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the sole political power of significance in China.

Much like other ideologies in the Dengist circle, Xi Jinping Thought proclaims itself to be a legitimate descendant of   and. 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 practices as a fundamental betrayal of Marxism and socialism.

To those living beyond Chinese borders (and many within), the modern Chinese government under Xi is best known for its flagrant authoritarianism, which manifests in many forms, especially censorship of online media. It bans all regular Chinese internet routers from accessing almost every popular western internet platform, including but not limited to YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, 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 concentration camps in the province of Xinjiang, where Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities of the region are detained for re-education, among many others.

Real-life freedom of speech in modern China is also severely restricted, with arrests being made swiftly on anyone the Chinese Communist Party sees as a significant enough ideological challenge to their power. All forms of news media, such as TV broadcasts and newspapers, are either managed or heavily monitored by the state. Religious expression is quite limited as well, with all church/mosque/synagogue/etc. communities being required to comply with CCP guidelines, both in their distributed texts and their oral discussions. Contrary to popular belief, there is actually no social credit system in place in China. It was a proposal put forward by Wen Jiabao, a former premier of China, in a State Council meeting in 2011, that never saw fruition beyond small-scale testing.

On the economic side, Xi Jinping Model more or less follows the Dengist doctrine of corporatism, with the government commanding over and heavily regulating all sectors of a market-based economy. It is quite fond of monopolies, effectively granting them to individual corporations in many different industries, especially in the online sphere. The minimum wage is low, even when the cost of living in China is taken into account. Workers' unions are under state management, with strikes being illegal. Healthcare is universally available to all citizens. There is a progressive tax code, with the lowest bracket (<¥36,000/yr) being 3% and the highest (>¥960,000/yr) being 45%. The Chinese government has committed to certain reforms to combat climate change; most notably, its subsidizing of electric vehicles, as well as a public bike system run by several companies, already present 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. However, its sluggishness in diverting China's energy grid away from a long-running heavy dependence on coal has been criticized by many.

On the cultural side, Xi Jinping Model is notably more conservative than its predecessors in the Dengist circle. It advocates for family values and respect for societal authorities. It opposes modern-day western progressivism, seeing it as a form of western imperialism. It bans representation of not just all LGBTQ+, but all non-traditionally-presenting people (e.g. feminine-appearing men) in media. As of 2020, all known LGBTQ+ organizations in China have either disbanded or went underground due to government crackdowns.

Overall, Xi Jinping Model 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 Chinese nationalism, and its secure, efficient mode of operation. 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 democracy and progress.
