It’s a clear shot at the west and I think the key phrase is “the security of state power “. The state will have control over most aspects of life with perhaps some carve outs for economic activity and freedom of association. We may be in a Cold War with China economically and militarily but I would argue that we’re in a hot war in the realm of ideas and we need to lift our propaganda game to a new level if we’re going to compete effectively. What I really like is the mind boggling hypocrisy in the speech. “We (China) must uphold independence and self reliance . “ But when the US wants to do the same by uncoupling the editorials from Chinese media start spewing the “that will never work, the only way forward is to deepen cooperation “ BS. 華為，美何不為呢？
