China’s Xi Sets Out Red Lines

Chinese Communist Party chief Xi Jinping outlined “Five Never Allows” in a speech on Sept. 4, telling the world that “the Chinese people will never allow any individual or any force” to impose their will on China through bullying, change China’s direction of progress or system of government, obstruct the Chinese people’s efforts to create a better life, as well as distort the official line on China’s history — a total of 12 actions Beijing rejects.
