Xi Jinping is truly unwavering in his commitment to the private sector

Cthe most important thing is leader Xi Jinping encompasses the lot. His economic philosophy promotes both self-reliance and openness. His vision for policymaking includes top-down design but also bottom-up experimentation. During the covid-19 pandemic, he has urged local officials to stamp out infections (which often required lockdowns) and promote growth (which required mobility). His latest call to cultivate “new productive forces” involves promoting cutting-edge technology without neglecting traditional industries. Communists are taught to believe in the power of conflicting forces, as the consulting firm Trivium once put it. So Mr. Xi “will expect his comrades to get by.”
