“On August 22, Chinese media extensively covered Xi Jinping’s speech at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, marking the 120th anniversary of Deng Xiaoping’s birth. The ceremony was attended by top leaders of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and government officials, including Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, Li Xi, and Han Zheng. This event not only sheds light on the dynamics of Chinese leadership but also carries significant implications for international relations.”– writes in the CSM comment Maciej Gaca, PhD, Sinologist, linguist, and diplomat. From 2015 to 2019, he served as the Director General of the Polish Office in Taipei. Dr Gaca is also a lecturer at the Institute of Cultural Studies, Faculty of Humanities, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.
