How do Xi Jinping's conflicting personalities impact China's foreign policy with the U.S？

 

Xi Jinping's conflicting personalities

        According to personality morphology, many people have a primary personality and a hidden secondary personality. For example, Xi Jinping's basic personality is retreating, and his conflicting personality is reckless which was hidden by himself very deeply. 

        In the trajectory of Xi Jinping's life, the primary personality and the second personality are alternate. His basic personality always is the primary, on the contrary,  his second personality is the hidden one.

        In 1962, Xi Zhongxun's family was in disgrace by Mao Zedong and moved away from the power center because of an unjust case by a historical novel book <Liu Zhidang>. The prime minister of the Party-State,  Zhou Enlai sent one parting word to Xi Zhongxun: Never have a suicidal thought, the meaning was in one word: Mast be alive!

Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping

        Xi Jinping's happy childhood was ended abruptly by the Cultural Revolution. Making sure to be alive, he developed a basic personality of retreat and patience. The second personality of recklessness, which was an opposite character, was concealed deeply when he was young. 

        At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, Xi Jinping was driven by his second personality to participate in serious physical fights. He was arrested by the authorities. One day, he was punished and frightened by the spectacle of knives and stones coming out by the Red Guards. Finally, he escaped away successfully; however, he became into conflicting personalities.

        At 15 years old, Xi Jinping was forced to do hard manual labor in Liangjiahe where was a wild, poor and small village in the North West of China. Since then, he started his journey to step into the power center of CCP, Beijing Zhongnanhai.

        This painful and oppressive process lasted for more than 40 years. During that long period,  Xi Jinping gave full play to his basic personality of retreat and patience; as the result, he has no merit and no demerit in his party jobs. Because his second personality made him being a reckless person in a struggled world, his real character was always hidden firmly. Fortunately, Xi Jinping won the first Chinese political lottery ticket in the totalitarian society. He ascended to the throne of CCP because of his mediocrity rather than excellence, which is a miracle in the party-state system!

        In February 2018, Xi Jinping's long-dormant recklessness, which was his second personality, was shown by a shocking bounced back thrust in the China political system. He abolished the term limit of the State President; thus, there were a lot of outcries at home and abroad!

        A few months later, when Trump launched the trade war, Xi gave a tough reply by following his second nature: a tooth for a tooth. However, once Trump piled on the tariffs, Xi returned to his retreat personality and signed an alliance.

        When COVID-19 was rampant, and many country coalitions were calling for compensation, Xi Jinping's second personality of being a willful and presumptuous person reemerged: military planes and warships threatened Taiwan and exploded low-yield tactical nuclear weapons in Xinjiang.

        Trump and Pompeo put up deadly fights one after another, forcing Xi Jinping to return to his basic personality of retreat and concede.

        Xi Jinping's personality decided to fight the trade and viral wars in the world, which it can be expected that this kind of arrogant trick will be repeatedly played in the future.

        What are the worsts, Xi Jinping's basic personality and second personality have already been recognized and grasped by the U.S.Government. Therefore, now and then, the U.S. will adapt to the situation to control Xi but not to be controlled by Xi.
