QUICK GLIMPSE INTO CHINA'S UPCOMING ANNUAL 'BIG TWO' SESSIONS
With just a couple of weeks to go before China’s ‘Big Two’ -- the popular name for the plenary
sessions of China’s version of a parliament, the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the top
political advisory body, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) –
there are no signs of any easing in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s efforts to promote
Chinese communist ideology. The deliberations at the NPC and CPPCC sessions will reveal
China’s priorities for this year and the longer term. The Reports are expected to bear the
unmistakable imprimatur of Xi Jinping.

CHINA IS REPLACING ETHNIC LANGUAGES WITH MANDARIN
Wary of efforts by the US and West to bring about the collapse of the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP), particularly as memories of the disintegration of the erstwhile Soviet Union and
collapse of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) still remain sharply etched,
Chinese President Xi Jinping has been focussed on strengthening the CCP to ensure it retains
its monopoly on power. Xi Jinping has also long had an interest in united front work and ethnic
minority issues and in 2017 took over as head of the powerful Central Leading Small Group
on United Front Work, which exercises direct control over the formulation and
implementation of policies for China’s ethnic minorities. Since then there has been a
noticeable uptick in united front activity concerning the ethnic minorities.

CHINESE REACTIONS TO U.S. PRESIDENT TRUMP’S POLICIES ON TAIWAN
Recent US pronouncements regarding Taiwan have annoyed Beijing and the US’ plans to send its Ambassador to the UN, Ms. Kelly Craft, to Taiwan provoked a sharp response. Hers would have been the first trip at this level since 1968. Though Craft's visit, which was scheduled to start on January 13 was abruptly cancelled at the last minute, she did later have a virtual meeting with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen.

XI JINPING FURTHER STRENGTHENS CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY'S
'MAGIC WEAPON' - THE UNITED FRONT WORK DEPARTMENT
China is making efforts to arrest the slide in US-China relations and lower temperatures after Joe
Biden takes over as President on January 20. In addition to Chinese Politburo member and former
Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi’s plans for visiting Washington this week, a Chinese trade delegation
is likely to travel to the US shortly. Confirming that China will use all the levers it possibly can,
Chinese President Xi Jinping on January 6 wrote to Howard Schultz, Honorary Chairman of the
Board of Directors of Starbucks Corporation of the United States, emphasising that China "will
provide a broader space for companies from all over the world, including Starbucks and other
American companies, to develop in China".
