Marx’s thought and Communism cannot be properly understood without considering how much, while criticizing him, Marx took from the leading German philosopher in the years of his youth, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Here lies a first key to read the document. ![]() Deng promoted the approval of the “Resolution on Certain Questions in the History of Our Party since the Founding of the People’s Republic of China” at the sixth plenary session of the CCP’s 11 th Central Committee in 1981. Mao had the resolution on “Certain Questions in the History of Our Party” passed by the seventh plenary session of the CCP’s Sixth Central Committee in 1945. What is translated as “historical resolution” is, more precisely, a “resolution on history.” But the resolution on history is also historical, because it is only the third such resolution in the history of the CCP, after the ones passed under Mao and Deng Xiaoping. A “historical resolution” would hardly have been needed to repeat these platitudes. Second, Western media reported that the Resolution virtually beatified Xi Jinping, elevated him to a status comparable only to Chairman Mao, and opened the way to his leadership for life.Īll this is in the Resolution, but all this has also been included in countless other CCP documents, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic started. First, that the document celebrated the historical successes of the CCP under Xi Jinping: eliminating poverty (a claim that is not true, although some results were achieved), gathering a majority of countries ready to vote in favor of China at the United Nations no matter what, and controlling COVID-19 better than any other country in the world, thus proving that its system is better than democracy in dealing with crises.Ībove all, the CCP managed to stay in power, and is set to become in two years the longest reigning Communist Party in history, surpassing the record of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It steered its readers’ attention toward two points. The press release, of course, was not unrelated to the Resolution. It was as if an author published a book, wrote a review of it, and had media comment the review rather than the book itself-realizing every author’s dream of controlling how a text is reviewed. Since, claiming to comment the Resolution, Western media in fact discussed the short CCP press release, they could only include in their articles what the Party had decided to emphasize through its communique. This was no minor achievement for the CCP propaganda. By that date, for the Western media the Resolution was old news, and only specialized China watchers paid any attention to the lengthy document. The full text was published in Chinese and English only on November 16. Indeed, very few Chinese outside of the members of the CCP’s Central Committee had read the Resolution when these comments were written. Virtually all mainline Western media published articles on the text. On November 11, 2021, at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19 th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP), an eagerly awaited document was adopted, titled “Resolution of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party over the Past Century.” ![]() ![]() What It Is All About The Central Committee approves the Resolution.
