The meeting is over, a lot has been said, and nothing seems to be said

I saw a video on Twitter this morning. The Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China is about to end. Lin Biao gave a report to the conference. Chairman Mao Zedong asked, "Comrade Lin Biao's report, please raise your hand if you agree." Then the surrounding people raised their hands, and Mao also raised his hands high, and the final result was naturally unanimous approval. A "united" victory ended. Later, in the movie Black Gold, the gang boss Zhou Chaoxian also held a similar meeting. He asked, "After I finish speaking, who agrees and who disagrees?" There were people who objected at the scene, but Zhou Shun slapped him and fell to the ground. , Although he is indignant, but he has no strength to fight back, who is in other people's territory. The meeting then reached an agreement in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. When the party was at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, when Xi proposed to write his new era thinking into the party constitution, it was also a show of hands. , the host replied "No, no, no!". What a harmonious scene, like the British and American parliaments, noisily, not necessarily one.

The Fourth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China also ended, and the official communique was released, saying a lot, but it seemed that nothing was said. There was no news about the personnel changes or even the successor arrangements that were previously rumored by foreign media. No one can accurately predict the result, and it is also expected. After all, there are very few people who know about closed-door meetings and black-box operations. Just like in "1984", only internal party members deserve to know the secrets of the party and state, how can outsiders know the inside story.

When I saw "News" in the cafeteria in the morning, I realized that the music played at the closing of the conference was "The Internationale". A friend complained that they also played the Internationale? What an irony.
