It was the first Guns N' Roses album without their longtime producer Mike Clink instead, it was produced by singer Axl Rose and Caram Costanzo. It was the first Guns N' Roses studio album since the 1993 covers album "The Spaghetti Incident?", and their first album of original studio material since Use Your Illusion I and II (1991). Instead of focusing attention on the party, focus on objectives only the party can achieve.Chinese Democracy is the sixth studio album by American hard rock band Guns N' Roses, released on November 23, 2008, by Black Frog and Geffen Records. From a propaganda standpoint, this is little short of brilliant. The implicit and obvious assumption of the video, and of the policy, is that there’s no one else to make these changes. Then there’s the Communist Party itself, mentioned but never visually depicted. Given the depth of corruption in the party’s senior ranks, it’s actually been pretty straightforward for Xi to combine anti-corruption with consolidation of political power. Xi has brilliantly used anti-corruption laws to eliminate senior political opponents - most of whom have been, almost certainly, thoroughly corrupt. Here the idea is that not only small- time officials but also big players will be arrested for corruption. More pointedly still, the video says that both “flies” and “tigers” will be caught.
CRAZY CHICKEN SONG CHINA DRIVER
There’s even an expression that captures that impulse: “My father is Li Gang!” Supposedly uttered by a drunken driver fleeing an accident scene, the phrase represents impunity based on status. The video tells viewers, “You think your dad can protect you? No way!” This is a direct reference to the widespread sense that children of influential party members can get away with anything. Moderate prosperity, in particular, gets short shrift, maybe because both China’s economy and its stock market are in worrisome states.īut a good deal of attention is focused on reform and the rule of law, interpreted with reference to the fight against corruption - the party’s most serious long-term problem. Not every one of the four principles is emphasized equally.
And the party is the entity that can make it all take place. Rule of law is the “guarantee” that this will happen. Reform is the “drive” - the way to get there. The logic runs like this: Prosperity is the ultimate goal. So how does the video connect the four principles to the Chinese Dream? (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta) Its most basic purpose is to define success - and to do so in an achievable way. In essence, the video is saying, if we achieve the Four Comprehensives, then the party will have succeeded in delivering what people need. One gets the impression of a committee asking itself, “Do people understand the relationship between these four goals and an achievable, deliverable end state?” Worried that people don’t, the committee comes up with the idea of a video that’ll make the relationship explicit. Online, the video has been criticized as offensively dumb.
The Four Comprehensives lead directly to Xi’s master slogan of the Chinese Dream - which is, like most national dreams (the American Dream included), a protean, flexible concept empty of specific content. The main point emerges upfront, when the girl asks, “Does it have something to do with the Chinese Dream?” The answer is a resounding yes.
