The same could arguably be said of W\u00e1ng H\u00f9n\u00edng.<\/p>\n<p>America against America is fascinating for several reasons. The first is that, like a modern Tocqueville, W\u00e1ng H\u00f9n\u00edng saw in the American phenomenon a model that would allow him to explain why the Chinese phenomenon fell behind the developed nations. And here we are: sometimes it seems as though time stands still, and we relive an event that took place many decades before. In 1923, Spanish writer Vicente Blasco Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez wrote in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gadireditorial.com\/autores\/blasco-ibanez.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>La Vuelta al mundo de un novelista<\/em><\/a> (A Journalist\u2019s Trip Around the World), that in the Chinese city of Sh\u011bny\u00e1ng <strong>(\u6c88\u9633<\/strong>), <em>\u201cnear the station there are modern buildings of many floors, which imitate American architecture with all its audacity\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It could be argued that since the demise of the Great Helmsman, the Dragon has audaciously imitated many of the practices that have made America great. It is safe to say that no matter how many Chinese characteristics have been applied to the dragon model of development and growth, the advances achieved, especially in science and technology, have been based on American ideas. It is only since the second decade of this century that the dragon has begun mastering its own fire.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting aspect of the book is the youthful sense of wonder the author \u2013 who is man considered the <em>\u00e9minence grise<\/em> of current Chinese politics \u2013 has towards the United States at that time in the early 1990s, particularly with the 4Cs. The American eagle was awash with what the Chinese dragon lacked: cars, telephones (<em>call is the word he uses<\/em>), &#8211; there were no cell phones yet &#8211; computers, and credit cards.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dokumen.pub\/america-against-america.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">These 4Cs are now, of course, everyday items in China<\/a>, where there are more vehicles (300 million) than most countries have people. Unsurprisingly, the Dragon tops the list of countries with the largest number of phones in the world, 1,382 million, compared to 317 million in the United States. China is also far ahead in the use of credit cards, because all transactions are done not just by credit card, but by the credit card, which is incorporated into the <em>Wechat<\/em> application known in Chinese as <em>W\u0113ix\u00ecn<\/em> (<strong>\u5fae\u4fe1<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>And of course China is well populated by computers. Filippo Santelli, a former correspondent of Italian daily La Repubblica points out in his new book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mondadori.it\/libri\/la-cina-non-e-una-sola-filippo-santelli\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>La Cina non \u00e8 una sola<\/em><\/a> (which translates roughly as There\u2019s more than one China), that the telephone (not the computer) is the means by which the Dragon has entered the Internet age and become digitalized. Santelli notes a survey conducted by Beijing University in which 99.8% of respondents said the medium they used most to read news is their smartphone. This trend is global\u2014Santelli argues\u2014even if China\u2019s example is extreme.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s also extreme is how, when deciding on an object of study, scholars tend to take the precaution of pointing out that the object \u2013 China, America, or whatever else \u2013, is not monolithic, not homogeneous, not easy to understand. W\u00e1ng H\u00f9n\u00edng has commented that by calling his book <em>America against America<\/em>, his aim is to show that the United States is not a simple homogeneous whole easily explained in a single sentence. Santelli alludes to the same thing with the title of his book. Yet, it should seem obvious that the United States is a mass of innumerable contradictions. As is China. Is it always necessary to affirm this, to highlight the intricacy of the matter? Or is it more likely that we are not in a position to assume the complexity of the reality we face, and it is apparently always necessary to remind ourselves and others of it? By definition, shedding light on something, means the topic is obscure and acknowledges that everything has its nuances and its twists and turns.<\/p>\n<p>So, what about this author, W\u00e1ng H\u00f9n\u00edng, and his book rhown into the spotlight after last year\u2019s assault on the Capitol? To begin with, it must be noted that even though he was signed on by former President Ji\u0101ng Z\u00e9m\u00edn (<strong>\u6c5f\u6cfd\u6c11<\/strong>), W\u00e1ng H\u00f9n\u00edng not only survived to serve under H\u00fa J\u01d0nt\u0101o, which is unusual enough, but on top of that, remains active with X\u00ed J\u00ecnp\u00edng, whom he accompanies on all state trips. W\u00e1ng H\u00f9n\u00edng is also one of the seven<br \/>\nmembers of the exclusive Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CCP. And all this without ever having been appointed to run a region or a city or a ministry.<\/p>\n<p>In Chinese political circles, W\u00e1ng H\u00f9n\u00ednghe is compared to major historical figures, such as the sociologist and philosopher H\u00fa Qi\u00e1om\u00f9 (<strong>\u80e1\u4e54\u6728<\/strong>), considered the power behind M\u00e1o. In the West, he is often likened to Fran\u00e7ois Leclerc du Tremblay, better known as Father Joseph, Cardinal Richelieu&#8217;s courtly adviser. In any event, most agree that he is the <em>\u00e9minence grise<\/em> of Chinese politics \u2013 so much so, in fact, that he is also referred to with the censored name of <em>d\u00ecsh\u012b<\/em> (<strong>\u5e1d\u5e08<\/strong>), the emperor&#8217;s teacher. The name is irreverent because it suggests that the president of China is both an emperor and a student. Both suggestions threaten the foundations of political correctness in China.<\/p>\n<p>Even though he has authored more than 20 books, and has been empowered with unparalleled political experience, , it i\u2019s still not clear whether W\u00e1ng H\u00f9n\u00edng is a realist or an idealist. Realists tend to limit their dreams, keeping their feet on the ground, while idealists (dreamers, utopians, whatever term you prefer) tend to give free rein to their dreams. The tension between the two prototypes is evident in all areas of life, but the difference between them is not as clear as it might seem at first glance.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, people who call themselves realists never stop dreaming, and those who call themselves dreamers are often prepared to be highly pragmatic when it comes to fulfilling their ideals. Moreover, in everything that both do, the distance from reality, and the descent, or approach to it, are powerful metaphors for whatever they intend to do. Realists could not live without elevating the spirit, nor dreamers without descending to earth every now and then.<\/p>\n<p>In which category would you place a man who is extremely influential in political terms, but who describes himself as a reader rather than a teacher, and who at the same time has retained his position at the top because he keeps his head down while holding , say his critics, on to his ideas and, in fact, does everything possible to spread them, as he has with the <em>Chinese dream<\/em>? How to define a man who has managed to shape the reality of not just of China, but the world?<\/p>\n<p>According to Timothy Cheek, author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/books\/intellectual-in-modern-chinese-history\/3C30C5A5E48DE7CC397C26B702296CB8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Intellectual in Modern Chinese History<\/em><\/a>, W\u00e1ng H\u00f9n\u00edng is one of the top thinkers in China\u2019s modern Establishment. W\u00e1ng H\u00f9n\u00edng may indeed be a category to himself, just as the storming of the Capitol may also have created an as-yet unclassified historical category.
