Before the Wuhan Lockdown in the beginning of 2020, the CPC (Communist Party of China) heavily invested in the New Year’s Festivals, especially in Wuhan. Their festival was a propaganda tool promoting that Xi Jinping has achieved what his predecessors couldn’t: make China a moderately prosperous society in all respects. “Moderately prosperous society” was originally used to describe a functional middle-class society in Confucianism. In the current context, it essentially means that as long as a person is a hard worker, they should be able to live a comfortable middle-class life in China. This was to resolve the extreme poverty in rural areas. We thank and honor Xi Jinping for “eliminating absolute poverty.”
