Zhu Hengpeng's "speaking ill of the central authorities" caused a leadership shakeup at the Institute of EconomicsAfter the replacement of the Director, Party Secretary, and Deputy Director of the Institute of Economics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) on August 22, the CASS president Gao Xiang accentuated recently "Three Points of Consensus" that must be followed by all the scholars and experts at the CASS.The "Three Points of Consensus" are: 1) CASS must operate in alignment with the directives of Xi Jinping and the CPC Central Committee; 2) CASS's primary mission is to serve Xi Jinping and the CPC Central Committee; and 3) the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the soul and guiding principle of Chinese philosophical and social sciences in this new era.Zhu Hengpeng, the former Deputy Director of the Institute of Economics, was covertly removed from his post and disappeared since May for his reportedly veiled criticism of Xi Jinping's economic policies in a private Wechat group.The CASS a ministry-level think tank under the State Council of China. As the Ministry of State Security (MSS) is monitoring doomsayers of Chinese economy, scholars at the government think thank are under close surveillance. Zhu Hengpeng's disappearance has sparked curiosity about his exact words and the reactions of his colleagues involved in the conversation. While it's not uncommon for economists articulating dissenting views to be suppressed by the media, the sudden disappearance of Zhu Hengpeng suggests the unusual severity of these economists' dissatisfaction. Authorities seem to be more concerned about the political allegiance of the economics department's leadership.When the political loyalty of a government think tank economist is called into question, it raises concerns about the potential leakage of state secrets and even the possibility of his past advice being deliberately misleading. This is a very serious matter to the Beijing authorities.The new leadership of the Institute of Economics endorse the government policies unconditionally. This will be perceived by Beijing authorities as both a display of political allegiance and a testament to their ability to address real-world problems.Yet, these economists, constrained by their inability to challenge the government's agenda, are limited to only offering advice that aligns with the government's predetermined course. This raises concerns about what will happen if this predetermined course is at odds with fundamental economic principles.Over a decade ago, an espionage case was exposed at the CASS. Zhu Hengpeng and his colleagues implicated in the probe are likely to be subject to an anti-espionage investigation. Beijing authorities have repeatedly underscored that the political allegiance should be the overriding concern of the think tank experts as the CASS is but a government institution.If we compare them with economists like Zhang Weiying and Xiang Songzuo, who are known for voicing open criticism of government policies without being arrested, the difference between CASS and other academic institutions becomes apparent. The Chinese government appears to have a more lenient attitude towards economists in universities, but we don't know how long this situation will last.
The notion that Deng Xiaoping reestablished the collective leadership in the CPC is a misconception. A closer examination of the historical context reveals that the collective leadership was restored due to the power vacuum created by Mao Zedong's death.Even though Deng Xiaoping held the highest de facto power, his nominal position was not that of the supreme leader. The restoration of collective leadership in the CPC was a result of the severe disruption of the power balance caused by Maoist totalitarianism, and none of the CPC leaders who succeeded Mao possessed sufficient power to be considered a de jure supreme leader.In the post-Xi Jinping era, the CPC may face a similar dilemma: in the absence of an absolute leader, the successor may lack the power to control the overall situation.Prior to his rehabilitation, Deng Xiaoping wrote a few letters to the Central Committee of the CPC, often expressing obsequious sentiments towards Hua Guofeng. However, upon his return to power, Deng swiftly orchestrated a political manoeuvre to oust Hua from the centre of power. Post-totalitarian Leninist regimes face the dual challenge of weak central authority and the ambitions of power-hungry individuals. Should these individuals resort to ruthless purges to consolidate power, a new era of totalitarianism could emerge.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) is a party that places particular emphasis on theoretical and ideological debates. The Reform and Opening-Up has undergone several major policy adjustments, and prior to these adjustments, debates emerged among various groups such as the Old Leftists, neo-conservatives, New Leftists, liberals, neo-statists, and popular nationalists. The adjustments of political direction of the Reform and Opening-Up sought compromises within these debates. In other words, ideological shifts typically preceded changes in political direction. For example, towards the end of Jiang Zemin's era, elite groups began to consider shifting the focus from economic development to a path of coordinated development of the economy and society as the center. This transition indicated that economic development was no longer the absolute priority. This shift set the tone for the political agenda of Hu Jintao's administration. However, at that time, few perceived that deviating from a purely economic-centered path meant that economic affairs would no longer be the top priority. The Xi Jinping administration has continued along the path set by Hu Jintao, but with a notable difference: the coordinated development of the economy and society has given way to regime security as the primary concern.To grasp the complexities of the Xi Jinping era, one must look into Xi's predecessors, as the Xi era did not emerge through a sudden rupture or discontinuity.

So after Trump won the popular vote, the electoral college, all seven swing states, majorities in both chambers of Congress and the most minority support in decades republicans in the Senate:1. Picked Thune to be Majority Leader- known Trump hater who didn’t want him to even run in 2024.2. Put Mitch McConnell as the head of the rules committee and the defense spending committee- another known Trump hater who thwarted Trump’s first term agenda every step of the way. 3. Put Lisa Murkowski as head of the appropriations committee- liberal democrat who has almost never voted in line with the Republicans.That is called saying F you to their voters. Defense spending, rules and appropriations are the three ways to stop a second term Trump agenda. If we had the senate seats in Arizona, Nevada and WI… the establishment republicans would have been neutered.I have said from day one that our biggest enemy are Republicans and we need to get super focused on making their life a living hell if they oppose the agenda that we voted for.
Whoever thwarts the will of the people will lose either their primary or the mid-term election itself. The people have made their will crystal clear.

I say privatize it, and better yet: let us opt-out of receiving physical mail.I bet 30%+ of Americans would gladly opt-out. Send us an email, a text, a phone call, a carrier pigeon. Anything but physical mail.Alongside federal funding, the USPS gets a lot of its funding through bulk mail prepaid postage. In other works: junk mail.Why are my tax dollars going towards an organization that is effectively spamming me with physical junk mail? It’s the worst of both worlds.It’s beyond frustrating to dig through piles of junk to find the one thing that might actually be important. And of course, all the spam mail these days prints “important” on the envelope 🤦♂️
