Chinese reporters and the media in recent days had the opportunity once again outdoing each other with superlatives To report to. Reason: the National People's Congress met again. This Congress, which convenes annually ever again in mid-March in Beijing, in China as the "Chinese Parliament" understood - therefore, the national media once again the opportunity offered a paean to the People's Republic along with their creators to sing. How often was the last day is not threshed the word "democracy", how often have phrases such as "gradual transition to democracy"? That the National People's Congress a perfectly staged political show is, is swept under the table - much more is the Panel an additional means to the (propaganda) purposes.
alone specially formulated description of the people's congress "to evaluate past success and construct plans for the future" says it all over this event. The about 900 opposition councilors about the 2100-seat Congress are nothing more than puppets of the Communist Party. In the years of history of Congress has never rejected a law that never interrupted a meeting, extended or boycotts - a pleasant enough opposition. Taboo topics are strictly prohibited - in this Parliament, which represented its citizens what should be its, will use no Abgeorndeter for the suppression of his fellow Tibetans, no one will press for full-or Freedom of speech put his hand into the fire. Similarly, attending the press conference with the Prime Minister: Only selected Chinese journalists allowed to ask selected questions. While before the Great Hall of the People, in the annual meeting of the Congress, countless reporters and camera crews romp, is in the interior of the building, although a lot of talk but little discussed. Solutions will be the answer-hungry people guilty. About how to soaring land prices should proceed. Or the seemingly unstoppable rise in inflation.
Dear one proudly displays on TV and Premier Wen Jiabao for an hour chats with Internet users and answers political questions. "This is democracy," the reporter rejoice in the camera for the evening news. A very interesting democracy. A democracy in which Parliament sits once a year, as if problems would not arise in a country with 1.3 billion people every day. A democracy that are referred to in some religious leaders as terrorists just because they disagree with the opinion of the party. A democracy in the free exchange of information remains limited service is solid, civil rights are still being imprisoned or even executed.
is needed now even more complicated socio-political themes such as democratization or freedom of speech to the people to suspicious. You just want to "make ends meet," lead a simple life. But with land prices, which have risen compared to last year in some cases more than 60% for no reason, is also the last optimist. Many experts now warn before a giant soap bubble - like those anno 1997 with the Asian crisis episode. But instead to reaffirm its claim to leadership and to offer solutions, the party can hang the people. Much rather you practice thrashing in phrases and in Selbstüberheblichkeit - of course with powerful backing from the media itself. The entire Congress is a shadow of himself
Meanwhile plays off the parking lot before the Great Hall of the People an entirely different scene. Mao Xinyu has just left after a meeting the building, surrounded by dozens of reporters. The 40 year old with a beer belly is none other than the grandson of Mao Zedong, founder of the People's Republic of China. Dressed in high-ranking military uniform he holds in the desert snow outlook for his car. The parking lot in front of the Ggroßen Hall of the People for the congressman reserved and parked cars packed with countless identical black Audi A8 models. "Where's My Car?" Asks the famous grandson rather upset again and he goes back into the building. 500 meters looking for a pensioner in the trash by the roadside for returnable bottles, as you face the icy wind whipped. A style image of a whole nation.
