Why Xi Jinping Is Determined to Carry-out Zero-Covid Policy?

-- Wei Jingsheng

 

 

Xi Jinping's zero-Covid clearing policy has caused anger and resentment.  There is more news from Shanghai that has been characterized by the Shanghaies as their patience has reached the limit.  In fact, there are reports from all over China that people are unable to live.  But why does Xi Jinping have to stick to his zero-Covid clearing policy?  This puzzled many people.  There are all kinds of speculations, most of which are that he wants to show his authority and pave the way for his success during the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).  This speculation does make sense.  Xi is a dictator, and it is not normal if he does not show his authority.  The life and death of the common Chinese are not so important to him, and even the fate of the CCP regime is not important enough, only his own power is the most important.

 

But this kind of rational reasoning is not enough to explain his crazy zero-Covid clearing policy.  A lunatic is not necessarily really mentally ill.  For example, Hitler, Mao Zedong, etc. are lunatics according to the view of normal people.  But they are not mental patients, but people with normal thinking logic.  But why do they think like crazy people?  This is because some basic elements of their thinking are wrong and absurd.  Logical thinking with fallacious material or premises is bound to be wrong.

 

Since the introduction of a set of Western theories of the Communist Party into China, especially since the introduction of the philosophy represented by Marxism into China, the Chinese people's thinking has entered an era of great chaos.  Replacing common sense with pseudoscience and logic with sophistry has become a fad.  After several generations of CCP’s education, the ideological confusion from ordinary Chinese to the so-called intellectual elites can clearly be seen.  Unreasonable confusion is everywhere, and the self-defeating logic is not self-aware, and even self-righteous, in the way people think that it refutes common sense and logic.

 

This confusion of thinking reached its peak during the Cultural Revolution.  Due to the influence of long-term propaganda and brainwashing, the aftermath has not weakened so far.  Comrade Xi Jinping grew up in that era, and his basic ideas were also formed in that era: his mind was full of pseudoscience and arrogance that “mankind will win over the nature”, as well as being full of belief in violent and absurd thinkings.  This is the ideological source of his insistence on the absurd zero-Covid clearing policy today.

 

You can find out by analyzing Xi’s resume.  When he was a teenager, he was a boy who was suppressed due to his family.  He rarely participated in outside movement and lacked the ability to distinguish between true and false.  Most of his exposure was to the various violent propagandas that were popular in that era, as well as the pseudoscience of strange powers.  Those who are persecuted will develop in two directions: one is toward dissatisfaction and then attempts to eliminate this unreasonable system; the other is to surrender then worship violent oppression, and develop into a case of Stockholm Syndrome.  Xi Jinping is probably the latter.

 

Xi was promoted to the CCP secretary-general of a brigade as an “educated youth” in the countryside, which was not normal in itself.  The CCP secretary-general's job is to propagate the enslavement thought of believing in violence, and to enforce oppression.  This has formed his autocratic character throughout his life: he is very flattering under oppression, yet merciless when oppressing others, to the degree that he will not have the normal sentiments to his relatives and friends.  This is the typical tyrant without humanity character which was popular during the Cultural Revolution.

 

It is worth noting that when he was the CCP secretary-general of the brigade, Xi engaged in small activities such as biogas power generation.  There is nothing wrong with this in itself.  But when this ideological tendency to pursue fashion without understanding got developed to the present, it become his zero-Covid clearing policy with the determination that “mankind will win over the nature”, and his crazy policy of closing coal mines regardless of economic development, to the degree of not allowing ordinary Chinese to burn coal for heating, and so on.

 

All kinds of absurd thinking of Xi Jinping have created his absurd policies.  That this absurdity can be turned into reality is because a large number of people who were affected by the Cultural Revolution have just as sick minds as Xi, who felt that Xi was right, supported him and helped him.  Otherwise, it is impossible for Xi to turn these absurd ideas into truth and carry them out.

 

For the last one hundred years, the Chinese have studied Western culture.  Both good and bad have come into China.  While the Chinese Communist Party is in power, it uses various campaigns and monopoly propaganda to magnify those absurd things and use them for brainwashing, which has caused confusion in the minds of the Chinese people in the last 80 years.  This is the ideological source of many of Xi Jinping's absurd policies.  In today's China, it should be like what the early American sages said: restore common sense and stay away from pseudoscience.

习近平为什么一定要清零?

-- 魏京生

 

 

习近平的清零政策,搞得天怒人怨。新闻比较多的是上海,已经被上海人民定性为忍耐到了极限。其实全国各地都有清零让人无法生活的报道。但为什么习近平一定要坚持他的清零政策呢?这让许多人大惑不解。各种猜测都有,比较多的是说他要显示自己的权威,为他的二十大铺平道路。这种说法也有道理,他就是个独裁者嘛,不显示他的权威就不正常了。老百姓的死活在他看来没那么重要,甚至党国的命运也不够重要,只有他自己的权势最重要。

 

但是这种理智型的推论,不足以解释他的发疯一样的清零政策。一个疯子不一定是真的精神病。比如希特勒、毛泽东等人按照正常人的看法,就是疯子。但它们并不是精神病人,而是有正常思维逻辑的人。可他们为什么会有疯子一样的思考结果呢?这是因为他们思维的一些基本的因素,是错误的,荒谬的。以谬误的素材或者说前提做合乎逻辑的思考,结果也必然是错误的。

 

自从共产党的一套西方理论传入中国以后,特别是以马克思主义为代表的哲学传入中国以后,中国人的思想就开始进入了大混乱的时代。以伪科学代替常识,以诡辩代替逻辑成了一时的风尚。几代人教育下来,可以明显地看出从普通百姓到所谓知识精英的思想混乱。不讲理的混乱到处都是,自打嘴巴的逻辑也不自知,甚至还自以为是,以为驳倒了常识和逻辑。

 

这种思维的混乱,发展到文革时期达到了顶峰。由于长期的宣传教育洗脑的影响,其余波至今没有减弱。习近平同志就成长于那个时代,他的基本思想也成型于那个时代:满脑子都是些伪科学,满脑子都是人定胜天的狂妄,满脑子都是迷信暴力和荒谬的思维素材。这才是造就他今天坚持荒谬的清零政策的思想根源。

 

分析一下他的履历可以知道。他的少年时期是被镇压的黑崽子,很少参与外界的运动,又缺乏分辨真假的能力。他接触的大多是那个时代流行的各种暴力宣传,以及怪力乱神的伪科学。被迫害的人会向两个方向发展:一种是不满,进而企图消灭这种不合理的制度;一种是屈服,进而崇拜暴力压迫,并发展为斯德哥尔摩综合症。习近平恐怕是这后一种。

 

作为下乡知青被提拔为大队书记,本身就不正常。书记的职责就是宣传迷信暴力的奴化思想,并实施压迫。这就铸成了他一生的专制主义性格:在压迫下很会曲意逢迎,压迫别人时则毫不留情,六亲不认。这是文革流行的不要人性的暴君性格。

 

值得注意的是他任大队书记时期,大搞了什么沼气发电之类的小运动。这本身并没什么错误,但这种在不懂的前提下追求时髦,对不懂的时髦科学迷信的思想倾向,发展到现在,就是人定胜天的清零政策,以及不顾经济发展关闭煤矿,不让老百姓烧煤取暖等等狂悖的政策。

 

习近平的种种荒诞不经的思维,造就了他的荒诞不经的政策。而这种荒诞不经能够变成现实,是因为受文革影响的一大批和他一样头脑有病的人,觉得他很正确,支持他并帮助他。否则他自己不可能把这么荒诞的想法,变成真理一样去实行。

 

一百年来中国人学习西方文化,好的坏的都进来了。而共产党执政,用各种运动和垄断的宣传,把那些荒谬的东西加以放大,用来洗脑,造成了国人思想的八十年的混乱。这才是习近平许多荒谬政策的思想根源。现在的中国,应该像美国早期先贤们说的那样:恢复常识,远离伪科学。
