A-CCP: OVERSEAS CHINESE NEWS OUTLET CLAIMS THAT "FOUR SELFCONFIDENCES" WILL BECOME "FIVE SELF-CONFIDENCES" ONCE IT INCLUDES "HISTORICAL SELF-CONFIDENCE"
|
The US-based Duowei News (January 14) claimed that Chinese President Xi Jinping had through last year
been increasingly mentioning "historical self-confidence" in his speeches. Asserting that it is important to
learn from history to avoid mistakes, it stated that Xi Jinping's 'intensive emphasis on "historical selfconfidence" is not only a self-confidence and high recognition of the 100-year history of the CCP, but also a
set of historical legitimacy narratives that have been striving for national rejuvenation for generations'.

Stating that this complements and conforms to the logic of the "four self-confidences", it assessed that it is
very likely that the CCP will expand the "four self-confidences" into "five self-confidences" at an appropriate
time, thereby making it 'a new spiritual guide for the whole party'.
