The CCP has revealed a steely resolve to eliminate dissenting voices in Taiwan and Hong Kong amid sinister centennial celebrations used to direct threats at Western powers as China moves to extend its military spending.
Chinese celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party served as a show of military might and nationalism coupled with a sinister warning for the Western world and anti-communist forces in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
The CCP’s commitment to Marxist doctrine was front and centre with the fusion of Communist principles with Chinese culture deemed crucial for the ongoing success of the nation.
An anti-democratic and pro-nationalist movement within the CCP was also evident with President Xi Jinping painting a vivid description of ‘spilled blood’ and ‘cracked heads’ for any who stand against China both on the world stage and within the nation itself.
The aggressive rhetoric employed in President Xi’s July 1 speech carried a clear threat for anti-China forces on the world stage.
“The Chinese people will never allow foreign forces to bully, oppress or enslave us,” he told 70,000 supporters packed inside Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.
“Whoever nurses delusions of doing that will crack their heads and spill blood on the great wall of steel built from the flesh and blood of 1.4 billion Chinese people,” he continued.
President Xi said the CCP would not accept “sanctimonious preaching” from foreign powers in a direct attack on democratic nations standing against China in any respect.
It comes after ongoing CCP human rights abuses against ethnic Muslims in Xinjiang province have been in the media spotlight drawing condemnation from the United States and other G7 nations.
Last Thursday, the United States described state-sponsored forced labour in China as an “affront to human dignity” and an “example of the People’s Republic of China unfair economic practices”.
“The PRC’s use of forced labour in Xinjiang is an integral part of its systematic abuses against the Uyghur population and other ethnic and religious minority groups,” the US said.
American Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have issued multiple "Withhold Release Orders” targeting silica-based products made in Xinjiang.
Threats directed at western democracies were also aimed at anti-China rebels more broadly with President Xi vowing to “restore” Taiwan with China and strengthen communist rule in Hong Kong.
He declared any attempt toward Taiwan independence would be met with “resolute action” by the CCP and result in the defeat of the dissenting group.
“Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing China's complete reunification is a historic mission and an unshakable commitment of the Communist Party of China," President Xi said.
“It is also a shared aspiration of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. We will uphold the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus.”
Moving on to address Hong Kong, the Chinese president said the CCP was committed to staying “true to the letter and spirit of the principle of One Country, Two Systems”.
This remark was blatantly overridden during centenary celebrations as police were deployed across Hong Kong to silence opposition in the city.
So-called national security laws were introduced in Hong Kong last year in a top down move directed by Chinese officials in Beijing.
The controversial legislation criminalises secession, subversion and collusion with foreign entities and carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
While originally the laws were used to go after anti-China activists, pro-democracy media publications have recently been targeted by police.
Freedom of the press in Hong Kong is supposedly protected under the ‘one country, two systems’ agreement which was reached when the United Kingdom relinquished control of the city to China in 1997.
China’s military prowess is set to expand further with President Xi detailing a path forward for the development of a modernised military under the “absolute leadership” of the CCP.
“We must fully implement the Party's thinking on strengthening the military in the new era as well as our military strategy for the new era," he said.
“We will take comprehensive measures to enhance the political loyalty of the armed forces, to strengthen them through reform and technology and the training of competent personnel, and to run them in accordance with the law.
“We will elevate our people's armed forces to world-class standards so that we are equipped with greater capacity and more reliable means for safeguarding our national sovereignty.”
President Xi went on to claim China was a force for justice on the international and domestic stage.
“We have never bullied, oppressed, or subjugated the people of any other country, and we never will,” he said.
It comes as relations between Australia and China deteriorate over a series of provocative trade tariffs imposed by Beijing upon Australian exports.
The trade blows were initially sparked by an Australia-led diplomatic push in 2020 to launch an independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19.
Wine, beef, lobsters, coal and barley were among the products hit by Chinese sanctions and relations were further strained after the Coalition axed China’s Belt and Road agreement with the Victorian government over national security concerns.
The most recent action saw China take Australia to the World Trade Organisation over anti-dumping tariffs introduced by Australia years ago on products exported by the communist superpower.
It comes after the Morrison government supported WTO cases against China’s major tariff hikes on barley and over 200 per cent duties imposed on wine last year.
At present Beijing has brought economic negotiations with Canberra to a grinding halt – cutting off streamlined communication with the country.

I'm not seeing where anyone should be confused about China's intent. As usual, the West needs to pull its collective head out of its ass or we'll be be doing this shit the hard way.
