In order to learn why China is behaving as it is internationally, it is essential to understand what drives the communist party that has ruled it for 72 years \u2013 which is today effectively the sole institution in China. No organisation exists, from a football team to a church to a university to a private business, that is not guided by a party representative or branch within it. The party\u2019s general secretary Xi Jinping famously says: East west north south and the centre, the party leads all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xi is today the most powerful person in the world, aged 67 now constitutionally able to govern for life without a single constraint except the underlying requirement to maintain the confidence of influential members of the party. He is a risk-taker, a dice-roller. He keeps pressing on because of course he believes in historical determinism, in communism\u2019s ultimate victory, and also because of his personal experience of political success \u2013 although this naturally involves struggle. In a recent speech Xi used the word for struggle, douzheng, 60 times. One of the earliest and most important instructions issued by the party under Xi\u2019s leadership, Document Number 9, requires party members and all officials to guard against and vigorously oppose seven threats: universal values, press freedom, civil society, citizens\u2019 rights, reviewing the party\u2019s version of history, and endorsing either the \u201ccapitalistic class\u201d or the independence of the judiciary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Please click here to read the full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchile.cl\/noticias\/177223\/chinese-power-the-new-international-dynamic-a-summary\">\u201cChinese power: the new international dynamic.
