The Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s official theoretical journal, Seeking Truth, paid a rare homage in its January 6 issue when it published a retrospective on its website summarising and linking to every article ever written for the journal by current Chinese President Xi Jinping. It traced articles back to October 1966.
(Comments: Some observers suggest the 'tribute' to Xi Jinping might be a sort of mea culpa by the journal for publishing an article in issue no: 24 on December 15, 2014, by the former CCP CC United Front Work Department (UFWD) Chief, Ling Jihua, who is now under investigation for corruption. Ling Jihua’s article was entitled “Adhering to the Correct Path of Chinese Characteristics in Handling Ethnic Issues, Realizing the United Struggle for the Chinese Dream of the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese People”. It has since been expunged from the journal’s site.
