Xi and Mao

It is said the political style of Xi Xiaoping（習近平）looks like Mao Tse-Tung（毛沢東). I completely agree with it.

Mao used to create hypothetic enemy and order his comrade to attack them. At the time of China’s Cultural Revolution, it was intelligent people living in urban area. A lot of innocent people were sucked and killed. Best seller novel “ Wild Swans, Three Daughters of China” well explained this era. Xi also created his enemy that was Japan. It happened around 2010 to 2011 when Chinese GDP overtook Japan and became NO2 in the world. He must have had a confidence.

Hypothetic enemy is not only outside but inside people. Mao exiled his inner circle Deng Xiaoping（鄧小平）and Liu Shaopi（劉少奇). Xi also did it over scandal military and officials. I am afraid this political style will stale in internet time.
