“Speaking at Tiananmen Square, Xi [Xi Jinping] laid out a vision of China's future that was self-congratulatory, triumphant and aggressive. In short, the speech was aimed at forging unity within, ensuring 'the party forever,' and advancing China's power abroad. Xi's emphasis on nationalism, recovering 'lost territories,' and remolding the international order suggest tensions with the U.S. and its allies will continue. After a century, the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] has made a strategic mistake and played its hand too early, revealing the game and the true nature of the party.”
