Post-Deng leadership to consolidate hold on power
BEIJING. Feb 9: Little has changed during 1995 for Deng Xiaoping. The paramount leader began the year in failing health and reportedly ended 1995 in decline. reports IPS.
But tor President Jiang Zemin and others among China’s next generation leadership. the past year had been a momentous one of diplomatic confrontation overseas and solidifying their hold on power at home.
Although Jiang holds the country's three most important posts — president, party chief and chairman of the Central Military Commission — he had been widely , derided as a political lightweight and transitional figure. Many analysts suggested his days will be numbered after the death of the 91-year-old Deng.
But during this past year. Jiang has been steadily inserting his own allies into the party apparatus, the government bureaucracy and the military command. He presided decisively over a Communist Party plenum in September, delivering a major policy address and demonstrating his slowly growing strength, political observers say.
Even though he reportedly had differences with the military over how to respond to Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui's unofficial visit to the United States last summer. he seems to remain in good graces with the military hierarchy.
"All these development signal that Jiang Zemin is in a stronger political position then many had thought," says a diplomatic analyst in Bei-
jmg.
Premier Li Peng, whom many Chinese despise for spearheading martial law and the army crackdown on Tiananmen Square prodemocracy protests in 1989. also has had a remarkably good year. Many observers in Beijing say his power is commensurate with his position six years ago.
He has succeeded in rolling back the economic expansion initiated by Deng and, with his allies among central planners, has engineered a so-called economic "soft landing” — slowing economic growth to manageable levels and moderating inflation.
Despite the government s state commitment to reforming lumbering state enterprises, Li and other central planners have used fears of
mass unemployment and worker unrest to hold back reform over the last five years.
While continuing to pub licly praise Deng, the Chinese prime minister has admitted that since 1992, the next generation of leaders "has been dealing with all internal and external affairs fully independently."
LI. who Just two years ago seemed to be politically marginalised after suffering a heart attack, has overcome domestic opposition, to his favourite projects like the Three Gorges Dam.
And he is believed to be behind the tough crackdown on political dissidents this year. Many activists, who were rounded up before the sixth anniversary of the June 4 Tiananmen Square massacre and the United Nations
Women’s Conference in August and September, remain in Jail.
Wei Jingsheng. China's best known dissident, was rearrested in April and in December found guilty of try ing to subvert the government for which he was sentenced to 14 years In trail
Previously, Wei. who helped spearhead the Democ racy Wall movement In the late 1970s. served almost fifteen years in prison before being released in 1993 in China's unsuccessful did to host tht 2000 Summer Olympics.
And In the summer, China captured US-Chineae human rights activist Harry Wu as he tried to cross the western border. Wu. who served almost two decades in deten tion and has written about and documented China s
prison system after emigrating to the United States, was tried and deported under pressure from Washington
This year, there has been an obsessive, even paranoid, climate of repression in which one can see the strong hand of Li Peng,” says a diplomat in Beijing. "He may appear clumsy ano unaophis twated in his public appear ancea but he Is reassuring for those who worry how the party's monopoly on power can survive in the future ‘
In foreign policy. China has also taken a conservative turn as the government fans nationalism to keep its grip on power Increasingly the military has used its rising clout as arbiters tn a political succession struggle to exert more Influence In foreign af
