Those being removed are already the ones selected for positions by Xi," warns Jan Švec, an expert on Chinese politics from the Institute of International Relations, in an interview with Seznam Zprávy. "We can see differences in that those who were closer to Xi may have lower penalties, for example, they are just removed from their position. But loyalty alone is not enough for political survival," says Švec. After the era of Mao Zedong, a model of generational change was established, where the highest leadership changed every two congresses, or after ten years. It also became customary for cadres to be gradually promoted up the ladder to higher positions, "After the era of Mao Zedong, a model of generational change was established, where the highest leadership changed every two congresses, or after ten years. It also became customary for cadres to be gradually promoted up the ladder to higher positions," explains Švec. With the rise of Xi Jinping to power, it was expected that the sixth generation of leaders, politicians born in the 1960s, could take over leadership after him. Many of them reached high positions, but Xi Jinping has maintained leadership longer than initially expected. According to Švec, it can essentially be said that there is a "lost sixth generation": "With the rise of Xi Jinping to power, it was expected that the sixth generation of leaders, politicians born in the 1960s, could take over leadership after him. Many of them reached high positions, but Xi Jinping has maintained leadership longer than initially expected." #Čína #politickéčistky (translated)

Merit Wager wrote that Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen had said that Finland should not accept traditions, cultures, or customs that limited girls' freedom. According to the Swedish translation that Wager shared, Valtonen believed that girls and women should be able to decide over their own lives, and that religious or cultural norms should not be used to restrict their freedom. Wager also recounted Valtonen's statement that the National Coalition Party wanted to ban face-covering garments, such as the burqa and niqab, in schools and other educational institutions. Valtonen had said that the government led by the National Coalition Party had strengthened the rights of girls and women by more clearly criminalizing forced marriages and female genital mutilation. She had described female genital mutilation as violence and said that every girl had the right to bodily integrity. According to Wager's account, Valtonen also emphasized that equality, individual freedom, and human rights should not be overridden by references to religion, culture, or tradition. Every girl should have the right to be seen, heard, dream, and shape her future based on her own desires, she had said. #Jämställdhet #MänskligaRättigheter #KvinnorsRättigheter (translated)
