China finds new internal “enemy”: The celebrities who promote capitalism

Beijing loves him capitalism, but he hates and ruthlessly chases the Chinese who promote him. Sounds a bit like her false prophecy of a guru, but this is the (sad) truth: a country that has now been transformed, by nature and placed, into a global stronghold of the capitalist system, does not want any of its local celebrities to make a “capitalist display of their wealth”.

The “ball” of state censorship took them all: celebrities, instagrammers, popular internet personalities, actors and artists behaving like “Western capitalists” and therefore urgently need to regroup and return to their “straight path” and “socialist” principles, The British Daily Mail reports in an extensive article.

Beijing, in fact, speaks directly of “cancers and tumors in the body of the country”, which, as you understand, is quite heavy to say. And yet it was said, by a press representative of his regime Xi Jinping.

“From economics to culture and politics, a transformation is evolving, a revolution. It is a political transformation, a return to the original mission of the Communist Party Of China“the return to the essence of socialism”, wrote characteristically o Li Guangman, regime blogger. Lee describes those celebrities who make a “pointless display of their capitalist wealth” as “malignant tumors” that must be drastically eradicated.

Beijing, of course, has already considered and taken additional action against these “naughty” celebrities who tarnish the country’s’s supposedly socialist face abroad and on social networking sites. Some, as the article states, will never work again, having “gotten on the ice”, both themselves and their careers.

“Capitalism makes these young people want to make as much money as possible for themselves and negatively affect Chinese society,” he said. Jiang Yu, researcher at the State Council Research Development Center, adding meaningfully: “If capitalism is allowed to extend to civilization, the arts and culture will lose their purpose which is to serve socialism.”

Home celebrity men to become “more masculine”

At the same time, a recent announcement by the Chinese Ministry of Education that implies that young Chinese have become overly “feminine”. The message was described as “sexist”, but many agree that men celebrities they are responsible for it.

The Chinese government has been voicing its concerns for about two years now popular male role models of the country are no longer dynamic, athletic figures like “The military heroes”. So the Ministry of Education issued a statement with the title that left no doubt about the ultimate goal. THE “Proposal for the Prevention of Feminization of Adolescent Men” called on schools to completely reshape the physical education curriculum and strengthen teaching staff.

In the text are included tips for recruiting athletes and people with a sporting background, retired, but also the “dynamic development” of specific sports such as football with a view to “Cultivating the masculinity of students”.

Last May, a prominent representative of China’s top advisory body, Si Zefou, had said that many young men in the country had become “Weak and cowardly”, something that “It will inevitably endanger the survival and development of the Chinese nation, if not treated effectively “, blaming mainly the family environment, as most boys grow up with their mothers or grandmothers.

Although there were some (basically, a few and mostly the older ones) who saw the move positively, the vast majority of Chinese reacted negatively to the announcement. Hundreds of thousands of users have expressed outrage on social media, with many calling the Chinese government’s message “extremely sexist and socially dangerous.”

The international media strongly emphasizes that Beijing’s Algerian tactic of “feminizing” (sic) male celebrities and at the same time expelling them from the country’s public sphere is quite reminiscent of its counterpart. Cultural Revolution of Mao Zedong, between 1966-1976 led the country to the brink of social chaos. “The CCP tends to start a cultural ‘revolution’ when it feels it is in an existential crisis,” she said. Kai Xia, professor of Political Science and critic of the Xi government.

And of course, all sane Chinese, such as Wang Dan, from the leaders of the student movement in Tiananmen Square in 1989, they ask meaningfully: “How exactly will this cultural revolution come about? “And how will this happen when the vast majority of citizens are anything but applauding Xi’s ever-awkward handling of domestic and foreign policy issues?”

Not to mention that other seasons were in 1966 and others in the (long-suffering) 2021…
