So what role will Wang play in formulating a Taiwan policy during Xi's third term?
One source knowledgeable of China-Taiwan relations noted that Wang will be tasked with writing a theoretical unification strategy fit for the Xi era.
"One may assume that a threat of China using force to unify Taiwan is imminent, but this is not the case. The first step is to launch a new theory that will replace Deng's one country, two systems. Then pressure will be put on Taiwan based on it," the source explained.
The source expects this theory to become a yardstick with which to measure progress and to decide if a military operation is necessary.
Wang is a rare politician. He has served three successive supreme leaders -- Jiang Zemin, who died recently at the age of 96; Hu Jintao, 80; and Xi, 69 -- each time asked to stay on as the leader's brain.
On security issues, Xi is said to respect the advice of the seasoned Wang.
When Xi held talks with the rambunctious Donald Trump, Wang always sat beside him to offer advice. Nobody knew what Trump might say, and Xi needed somebody who could think quickly.
Wang's experience in writing important documents related to security and his past as a professor of international politics at Fudan University prepared him well.
The ability to write in ways that pleases the top leader of the time, however unclear it may seem to outsiders, is perhaps the most important skill to have in the Communist Party.
Wang Huning will be supported by Wang Yi, the 69-year-old former foreign minister, who was promoted to the Politburo. His promotion went against the party's traditional retirement rule that stipulates that officials do not assume new higher posts after they are 68.
Wang Yi also became director of the party's Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, making him China's top-ranking diplomat.
Needless to say, the top diplomat reports to Xi on foreign affairs and security matters. But for policies involving Taiwan unification and relations with the U.S., Wang Huning is also in Wang Yi's reporting line.
This is because Wang Yi will become secretary general of the Central Leading Group for Taiwan Affairs, where Wang Huning will serve as deputy director. Wang Yi once served as the director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, China's government.
As a Politburo Standing Committee member, Wang Huning in one of China's top seven and has a much higher level of authority than Wang Yi, a Politburo member.
Fascinating to watch the Mussolinis and Hitlers of 2023 weave their monstrous webs.
Just buy up all of Taiwan’s politicians , it worked here in America
Sums up a great deal of what many "intellectuals" have been doing for at least 100 years.
That’s easy. The road to Taipei runs through DC. China has to subvert the USA so we will agree to surrender Taiwan. Even Biden isn’t corrupt enough.
LOL! Beat me to it!
Wait - What are Wang's REAL QUALIFICATIONS?
Is Wang trans? Gay? What's his gender? Who was his grandfather? What's his 'pigmentation' level? YOU know - the qualifications that matter.
Is this 'horror of horrors' that Wang was chosen based on merit, intellect and experience?
“He is no ordinary Wang. “
Ahhhh.
So, it is “unification strategy” and not “invasion”.
One would almost think they are Democrats running Communist China. Oh, wait...
The ability to pretend to comprehend Biden, however incomprehensible he may appear to those outside the White House, is perhaps the most important skill one must have in the Democratic Party.
I bet China takes Taiwan without firing a shot. All it takes is money and a little treason.
That would be my guess as well. I don’t think they would waste the money trying to invade the country militarily.
Hong Kong capitulated, so will Taiwan. Too much invested in the buildings/infrastructure to see it destroyed when the One China policy is already agreed to by all parties including the US. Not that I agree with it, but unless Taiwan goes back on their agreements, there’s no reason for an invasion.
So Winnie the Poo has Wang, and Bidet has Heels Up?
God help us.
Man..... that Three Rivers Gorge Dam would look great through some Type 163 Laser Target Designators.... for about 20-30 missiles at the spillways and outlets and then just let water and gravity take care of the rest....
better get a surf board....cause if that dam fails.... surf’s up!!!
The same “Wang” from Caddy Shack? “Hey Wang! Don’t let `em know you’re Jewish!”
