Xi Jinping is now routinely referred to as the “core” of the CCP leadership. What does this mean? Why does it matter? Read up in our latest CMP Dictionary entry. https://chinamediaproject.org/the_ccp_dictionary/the-core/

Re Example today: the “core” phrase is used repeatedly on Page 11 on the People’s Daily today, in three separate articles.

Re One of these is very much worth a read also as an explication of the phrase “matters of national importance” (国之大者), which can double as a reference to Xi himself that might translate “great man of the nation.” Thoughts on a tough term from Sinocism: https://sinocism.com/p/-matters-of-national-importance-real?s=r

Re 国之大者 is a Xi utterance that references Louis Cha’s notion of the “great man of chivalry” (侠之大者) in the Wuxia genre. This is a character that shows pluck and courage in fighting injustices.

Re I was living in Beijing at the time this video was circulated and like many people of African descent across China watched it with horror, wondering why, how, who and where - no one seemed to know all the answers - but we all wanted to.

Excellent thread and an incredible investigation

Runako Celina: In 2020, a Weibo account called ‘Jokes about Black people club’ posted a video.

In it, a group of African children huddled round a blackboard are made to say in Chinese:

‘I’m a Black monster, my IQ is low’

Re Fu Hua (傅华), the newly-appointed president of Xinhua, makes the grandiose claim that “Xi Jinping Thought” is the “most important crystallization of human thought in our time.” Clearly, this is the ardent declaration of a man of faith.

Re The phrase “wise leader” (英明领袖) was previously used for Stalin in the 1950s, for Mao Zedong during the Cultural Revolution. In Nov. 1976, not long after Mao’s death and the arrest of the Gang of Four, the term was used for Hua Guofeng (华国锋同志为我党领袖是毛主席的英明决策).

Re Interestingly, though, the very first appearance of “wise leader” in the People’s Daily is in a letter of congratulation sent to Mao by George Matthews, the leader of the Communist Party in Britain. September 26, 1949: 英共助理书记马修斯:函谢毛主席对波立特的祝贺

Re @jcmittelstaedt Precisely. 英明领袖 has not once been used since. 卓越领袖 appears just twice in the reform era. First, in 2018, in a tribute to Lin Weimin (林伟民), the early 20th century workers leader. Next, in 2019 as Carter received an “outstanding leadership” award for US-China relations.
