Chinese President Xi Jinping
Two main Points from XI Jinping’s “address of warnings”:
The speech was more or less one hour long. But the main gist of this address consisted of Two points:
1) Xi wanted to threaten World Powers which are against China’s expansion and development.
2) 2) Xi wanted to further enhance Nationalism among Chinese people.
Why Xi Jinping gave a warning?
Xi Jinping looked aggressive because Pressure is mounting on him and China on many issues. World powers and People are giving him hard time.
A Poll was conducted in 14 out of 17 advanced economies by Pew Research Centre. At least 70 percent said they had no confidence in the Chinese President’s ability to do what’s right for the world. Apart from that, China is facing huge criticisms on:
1) Human rights violation
2) Genocide of Uyghur Muslims
3) Unable to control Coronavirus in Wuhan
4) Allegations of unfair trading practices.
However, despite the aggressiveness, his address ended with 100000 Doves being released.
All-inclusive, Xi Jinping’s address can be termed as the speech to increase Nationalism as China is facing slow economic growth after a long time. Xi Jinping spoke on the Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan issue and issued a warning to critics if they try to bully them. The world is increasing pressure on China on Human rights, minority rights, and coronavirus spread. How China will cope with this Pressure? Will Xi Jinping be able to take any other drastic measure except making an aggressive address? Only Time Will Tell!
