Simply listening to ministers is not that simple. Xi jinping looks up to mao but mao zedong is a lesson from history. For him to succeed many have sacrificed and lost. For qing to form, nurhaci family died by the hands of ming officials. For qing to rule, nurhaci sacrificed his life to win the hearts and mind of the chinese people. Kind of like jing ca ce qin of yan. In new romance of three kingdoms, si ma yi shang fan gu song. For one to succeed one has to learn the many lessons that others failed before him but also went through pain and suffering. Even though they may not have suceeded in winning but their losses were sacrifices and things done. For mao to suceed qing failed in that they wanted to learn from the west but were still chinese. So yuan shi kai still wanted to be the emperor. But china wanted to open up, and nationalist under jiang kai shek and sun zhong shan wanted to open up but led to japan going to war against them. But qing did open up and reformed losing the empire. Natinonalist did hand power back to the chinese people going to war against japan. And also the idea of ending an emperor's reign nationalist pain and sacrifice meant mao can have a revolution and overthrow nationalist. We lead by example but our failures and sacrifices and pain eventually allow the birth of a new dynasty a new age a new government. If no one leads, no sacrifices made, then nothing is done. Status quo remains. There is always a price to pay and birth of a new nation a new dynasty comes with losses but doesn't mean they did nothing.
