A four-date publicity and educational campaign is being launched in China to mark the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party (CCP) in July this year.
In addition to this campaign, the President of the country and Secretary General of the Communist Party Xi Jinping launched a campaign on February 20 this year to acquaint the members of the Communist Party with the history of the Communist Party. Against the backdrop of issues such as the Great Depression, the economic challenge and other conflicts facing China, the Chinese leadership believes that informing the public about this officially confirmed date will help smooth public opinion and rule. The party's power will gain moral legitimacy and public support for its vision of development will increase.
What are the four dates?
The four histories mean the history of the CCP, the history of modern China, the history of reform and opening up of the economy in China, and the history of the development of socialist thinking globally in the last five centuries. This interpretation of history has in fact been made from the mind and point of view of the ruling party CCP. China's ruling party has always insisted on teaching the history of the party and the country, but the current leadership of the CCP, under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, has focused on the history of reform and opening up the economy and socialist thinking in China. It also insists on enlightenment from the history of promotion and development. He hopes that in this way the thinking and ideas of the members of the party and the people will come to maturity. It has become a nationwide campaign following an announcement made by the CCP on May 25. The declaration said that the promotion and awareness of the "four histories" should be created especially among the youth to help them understand why the CCP is successful, why Marxism is effective and why Chinese-style socialism. Why good? '
The English-language newspapers and media outlets in China, whose readers, listeners and viewers are mostly from the outside world, rarely mention the four-date campaign. But Chinese-language magazines and media outlets abound with comments, analysis and articles.
Awareness of CCP's achievements
At the end of the five-year session of the Communist Party Congress, it was decided by a unanimous vote to make 'Xi Jinping's thinking' part of the constitution. One of the reasons for the Chinese government's efforts is to highlight the role of the CCP in building a new China, which introduced economic reforms and opened up the economy to investment, and thus helped the country grow economically. And the people prospered. The CCP hopes that the public knowledge of these four histories will strengthen its claim that the ruling party is capable of taking the Chinese people to new heights of development and prosperity and thus increasing its popularity among the people. Wants to increase support. An article in the May 31 issue of a ruling party newspaper stated that the campaign aims to raise awareness among all members of the party and society about the key points of CCP's services and achievements for the Chinese nation. To increase
Promoting the Chinese-style socialist system
The CCP believes that a study of the four histories will also help reinforce the notion that China's socialist system is superior to other political systems and will help end the debate in the country. That China also needs political reform so that it does not stand alone in a world where Western political traditions and thinking take precedence. In another article published in the Guangman Daily, a newspaper run by the ruling party, on June 15, Li Hongwai, a researcher on Xi Jinping's thinking on modern-day Chinese-style socialism, wrote in an article: The study will make it easier for people to understand that somehow China took the successful path of Chinese-style socialism and showed people around the world that socialism and communism work. He added that the historical process of evolution and the conflict between the two ideologies and the two social systems had led to changes in favor of socialism and communism. The teaching of the four histories will also help to refute this narrative of history, which in CCP's term is called 'historical mortality'. Historians from countries other than China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan have also done scholarly work on China's recent history, but their views do not necessarily align with those of China's ruling party. The Chinese leadership is well aware of this and wants to strengthen China's grip on Chinese history by promoting the "four histories".
In 2013, President Xi Jinping expressed concern that hostile forces, both inside and outside the country, were invading the history of the CCP and modern China, with the primary aim of scattering the minds of the people and making them Chinese. To provoke the current leadership and to overthrow the Chinese socialist system.
