Mao Zedong said: “No party outside the Party is autocracy; no factions inside the Party is nonsense.”(党外无党 帝王思想 党内无派 千奇百怪)

There are factions within the CPC party. Beijing’s power struggle is bigger than Washington’s.

There are soldiers who participated in the Agrarian Revolutionary War, they are called "Red District Party"(红区党). There is also a "White District Party"(白区党). They are headed by Liu Shaoqi, and their backbone is student cadres from the 12.9 Movement.

That is to say, in the initial stage of the CPC's revolution, it can be divided into "Red District Party" and "White District Party" in the process of development.

The "Red District Party" is mainly engaged in face-to-face military struggle with the enemy, while the "White District Party" engaged in clandestine information or sabotage activities in areas under Kuomintang rule or Japanese occupation..

It can be considered that Mao Zedong is the representative of the "Red District Party", and a large group of outstanding generals under his command belong to the "Red District Party".

The "White District Party" was completely led by Liu Shaoqi, disguised as various occupations and carried out underground sabotage struggles in the enemy-occupied areas.

The generals of the Red District were usually practical and did not tolerate deception in battle, especially when the enemy was very strong, and they were very capable.

There are two parts in the "White District Party":

• Some people are not afraid of death for the revolutionary cause and dare to engage in dangerous actions.
• Others are more cunning, and they are "Cravenly cling to life instead of braving death". Such people can often be promoted to high positions, so they are in leadership positions, often ordering CPC members who are not afraid of death to do dangerous things. For example, martyrs like Sister Jiang(江姐, 江竹筠) in the novel "Hong yan"(红岩) have been arrested and sacrificed heroically for the revolution. And those who "cravenly cling to life instead of braving death" also have the opportunity to be arrested, but after being arrested, they usually play the role of traitors, betraying their comrades and betraying the revolution. Or "fake surrender", for example, Liu Shaoqi's subordinate "61 Traitor Group" was released from prison by "fake surrender". Or like Pan Hannian(潘汉年), who secretly contacted the Japanese without telling the CPC Central Committee and did not report it. A Japanese scholar named Homare Endo(远藤誉) accused Mao Zedong of having secret contacts with the Japanese. In fact, it was Pan Hanian who secretly contacted the Japanese without the knowledge of the CPC Central Committee. In 1963, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison and deprived of political rights for life by the Supreme People's Court. (Pan Hannian was sentenced in accordance with legal procedures, not the Cultural Revolution and anti-rightist movements)

In 1949, PRC was established.

On the eve of liberation, some people saw that the CPC had a good prospect, so a large number of people who were chasing interests joined the CPC at that time. Most of these people are local civilian officials of the original KMT government and these people are also "White District Party" people.(The military attachés of the People's Liberation Army are generally not highly educated, and the CCP needs to continue to use civilian officials from the former Kuomintang government)

After the founding of the RPC in 1949, the CPC could be divided into three groups:

• The first group of people is a group of Kuomintang uprising generals, these people know that they belong to another category, usually more honest, and do not participate in the power struggle of the CPC. For example, Chen Mingren(陈明仁)
• The second group was the army cadres who went to Jinggangshan from the Autumn Harvest Uprising and then participated in the Long March. They grew up in war. They fought bravely and were not afraid to die. They also possess military skills. They are more realistic and more loyal to the revolution, but their culture is relatively low and there are fewer people with high culture. For example, Chen Yi(陈毅), they can be called "Red District Party".
• The third group is the "white district party" developed by Liu Shaoqi. These people include the "61 Traitor Group", as well as Peng Zhen(彭真) and Lu Dingyi(陆定一). There are also people who worked in the literary and art circles in Shanghai, such as Zhou Yang(周扬), who was once scolded by Lu Xun(鲁迅).

This group of "White District Party" people most have the Kuomintang habits, and are very familiar with power struggles and intrigue.

In fact, Liu Shaoqi has very rich experience in power struggles. He has constantly drawn people to form his own power base, mainly the power base of the "White District Party".

Another characteristic of the "White District Party" is that it is “Extremely leftist”. They especially like to persecute others, and they do things like "Those who submit will prosper, those who resist shall perish."

And those "Red District Party" who survived the war were not “Extreme leftists”, they sought truth from facts, and would never lie and not create false political achievements.

For example, in the PLA system:

• If it is an officer who has made meritorious service and has been injured, he is usually approachable and will not talk nonsense.
• But if an officer has never fought, you have to watch out for him, because he is good at "Political Correct" and is especially good at deception and toady.

After the establishment of the PRC, those "White District Party" used their own power and tricks to dig into the camp and quickly occupied real power in various positions. Then they appeared as "Extreme Leftists" and wantonly persecuted others. Led by Liu shaoqi, these people have formed a "Community of vested interests". And Liu Shaoqi also subtly alienated those generals who had little experience in power and tactics, provoking their internal discord and struggle, so that the power of the "White District Party" was further expanded.

A very strange person in the power struggle is Deng Xiaoping. Originally he belonged to the "Red District Party", but he was drawn over by Liu Shaoqi.

In fact, all the cheating in the Great Leap Forward was done by "White District Party" people.

You know, MAO Zedong did not direct economic construction.

Because of this, Mao Zedong's command of the economy after the founding of the People's Republic of China was not a specific command at all, but a "cheerleader", constantly Shouting to the people of the whole country "Come on, come on!"

There are two types of power in China's political system: “Virtual power” and “Real power”.

When Mao Zedong was leading China's economy, he was actually a "cheerleader", and he was not actually in charge of specific affairs. For example, how much grain is imported and how much grain is exported, and how much money is allocated to where, he is not responsible for all these matters. For specific reports sent to Mao Zedong, they were approved as usual. Mao Zedong always issued some principled instructions.

For example, from January to April 2020, Xi Jinping never appeared at a briefing on the outbreak, only giving directions that the entire country should do its best to contain. Always presided over by doctors and scientists (Dr. Zhong Nanshan, 80-year-old veteran) and officials responsible for resource coordination. This is the job of the party chairman (general secretary).

Therefore, in China's economic development, the real power has never been in the hands of Mao Zedong, but in the hands of Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Chen Yun, and Deng Xiaoping, a series of "White District Party". Mao Zedong called for large-scale steelmaking, but how to implement it, how much to allocate to steelmaking, and how to make steelmaking are all under the specific command of the "White District Party".

Like something like "Exceeding the UK, catching the USA", "Going all out and striving for the top", these are all "Cheerleading" slogans, Mao Zedong shouting to the people to cheer up. And those cheating behaviors, those false reports, and the production of ten thousand catties per mu were all made by people from the "White District Party".

The people of the "Red District Party" came out of the war and were not afraid of death at all, so they kept reporting the real situation to the top management until Peng Dehuai scolded Mao Zedong at the Lushan meeting. At this time, the "White District Party" headed by Liu Shaoqi had an absolute advantage, and Mao Zedong's power base was mainly concentrated in the army, and there was not much power base in the local grassroots government system.

Mao Zedong had two options at that time:

One is to support Peng Dehuai and overthrow the entire Liu Shaoqi's "White district party", but Mao Zedong may not have this ability at the time, or he could not do it in order to stabilize. Therefore, Mao Zedong had to oppose Peng Dehuai first and support the "White District Party".

In 1962, when China's economic situation was basically improving, in order to suppress the anger of the masses below, Liu Shaoqi convened another "7,000-person meeting". At the "7,000-person meeting" Liu Shaoqi launched a surprise attack. Downed Mao Zedong, and pinned all the mistakes made by the "White District Party" he led on Mao Zedong's head.

Later, the Cultural Revolution launched by Mao Zedong basically pointed to the "White District Party". Mao Zedong was determined to overthrow the "White District Party". But at this time, the strength of the "White District Party" was already very strong, and various resistances were carried out.

At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, Liu Shaoqi planned to turn the "Cultural Revolution" into another "anti-rightist movement". At the beginning, he had already labeled some people who dared to raise their opinions as "Gangsters", that is, rightists similar to the "anti-rightist movement". However, Mao Zedong's big-character poster of "Bombarding the Headquarters" and consecutive grant an interview to the Red Guards reversed the situation, so Liu Shaoqi's "White District Party" suffered heavy losses.

After the Cultural Revolution, the remnants of the "White District Party" were quickly reinstated. You will find that they have no democratic ideology at all, and are completely masters of "persecuting others".

• Such as Peng Zhen, who specifically removed the democracy rights of "Da Ming, Da Fang, Da Debate, Big Character Poster" from the Constitution and hated "Big Character Poster" to the core..
• Chen Yun insists on dogmatism.
• Yang Shangkun was originally one of the 28 and a half Bolsheviks in Moscow, and he learned a lot from Stalin.
• Deng Xiaoping quickly used the remnants of the "White District Party" overthrown by Chairman Mao to rehabilitate Wu Zhipu(吴芝圃), the man in charge of the Henan Famine, making the "White District Party" an overall victory, Jiang Zemin, a descendant of the "White District Party", was promoted.
