A Former Ambassador's Revelations on China's Shift from One-Party Rule to Personalized Dictatorship

The former Japanese ambassador to China, Hideo Tarumi, has revealed significant insights about Xi Jinping in his recent memoir. Tarumi's encounters with Xi Jinping portray him as humble in 2009 but transformed into a heavily guarded figure by 2015. Tarumi discloses that Xi Jinping has chosen Mao Zedong's authoritarian route, prioritizing national security, despite contradictions with China's economic model. Furthermore, Tarumi describes Xi Jinping's control over Politburo Standing Committee members, emphasizing meticulous monitoring and scrutiny. Tarumi's assessment that Xi Jinping has replaced one-party rule with a personalized dictatorship is considered a major insight into China's current political landscape, challenging the notion of Xi Jinping's authoritarianism remaining within the CCP framework.
