Xi Jinping Has the Opportunity to Become a Great Man Surpassing Mao Zedong

Which is greater, Mao Zedong's merit of establishing the great nation and the faults of the Great Leap Forward's great starvation and the Cultural Revolution? Of course, the faults of the Great Leap Forward's great starvation and the Cultural Revolution are greater.

Which is greater, Deng Xiaoping's merit of reform and opening up and the recovery of Hong Kong, and the fault of the June Fourth massacre? Of course, the fault of the June Fourth massacre is greater.

Which is greater, Jiang Zemin's merit of joining the World Trade Organization and the fault of suppressing Falun Gong? Of course, the fault of suppressing Falun Gong is greater.

Which is greater, Hu Jintao's merit of 'not making trouble' and the fault of not reforming? Of course, the fault of not reforming is greater.

Which is greater, Xi Jinping's merit of fighting corruption and the fault of amending the constitution to steal the country and suppressing speech? Of course, the fault of amending the constitution to steal the country and suppressing speech is greater.

Originally, they all belonged to a group of failing students sitting in the back row. However, Xi Jinping added a variable to the previous leaders, instantly sublimating himself.

The recovery of Hong Kong was originally a good thing, but as a result, Xi Jinping's actions over these ten-plus years have directly led to a great regression in Hong Kong, showing Taiwanese people their own future and letting the world see the true face of the CCP. It served as a very effective wake-up call. Therefore, Deng Xiaoping's plus-point item eventually became a minus-point item. Xi Jinping thus gains one point.

Jiang Zemin's joining of the WTO was originally a good thing, but it encountered Xi Jinping's great promotion of 'the East rising and the West declining' and wolf warrior diplomacy, making the West fully realize the nature of the CCP as one that eats from the bowl and then smashes it, and is stubborn and unyielding. Therefore, Jiang Zemin's plus-point item eventually became a zero-point item; Xi Jinping neither adds nor subtracts.

Hu Jintao's few years of 'not making trouble' can be considered the best and most decent years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, fully embodying the mystery of the traditional Taoist 'governing by non-action,' and could even be called the 'Jintao Prosperity.'

Unfortunately, the minus-point item of 'not reforming' suddenly showed immense destructive power after encountering a successor like Xi Jinping, who 'makes trouble blindly' and 'leaves things in a messy ruin.' Therefore, the minus-point is doubled, and Xi Jinping loses another point.

Finally, only Mao Zedong remains.

Mao's plus-point item is only one: establishing the country. This is the greatest merit among all of them. But the Great Leap Forward's great starvation and the Cultural Revolution are also the greatest minus-point items among all of them.

Now Xi Jinping and Mao Zedong are tied, ranking first together.

Is this the final ranking?

Not necessarily.

If, in the end, Xi Jinping can truly toss and turn the country established by Mao Zedong all the way to a change of dynasties, then Xi Jinping will truly score big points.

He will inevitably become the most 'great' leader since the founding of the CCP state, without exception.

Let us wait and see.
