The CCP’s inner sanctum is in Beijing this week to hold its annual closed-door meeting. But this time it’s done something rare by announcing one item on the agenda: an official resolution to revise China’s historical narrative under its reign, to reflect Xi’s take on the “correct” interpretation of party history — and by extension China’s.
What the party comes up with won’t just be an anodyne internal document only CCP nerds will obsess over. Xi’s historical revision will influence everything in China — from foreign policy, to what’s taught in schools or shown on TV and in films, to what constitutes the ultimate crime of disloyalty to the party — for an entire generation, if not longer.
