< p _ngcontent-sc90="" class="news-annotation">The Chinese Communist Party congress approved Xi Jinping's sole supreme leadership. This means that he went to a new, already third term of office.
The Congress of the Communist Party of China began on October 16, and ended on October 22 by amending the CPC charter and supporting Xi Jinping.
Amendments to the party constitution
A number of amendments were made to the party constitution. Their goal is to strengthen the status of General Secretary Xi Jinping in the Party.
- “Two Directions”– consolidates “Xi Jinping's status as the core of the Central Committee of the CPC and the entire party.” His vision of “socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era” is defined as guiding the actions of all party members.
- “Two Guarantees” – commits party members to defend General Secretary Xi Jinping's status as “the core ” Party and “protect the leadership”.
By the way, Hu Jintao's predecessor was unexpectedly taken away from the closing ceremony.
Unprecedented powers
Xi Jinping is effectively equated with the CPC leaders Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. That is, the politician is given powers unprecedented in the last 50 years of China's history.
In addition, the Congress elected the Central Committee of the CCP, consisting of about 300 people. The first plenum will take place tomorrow. At the same time, the formation of the party leadership for the next 5 years will be completed. They will elect a new Politburo, its Standing Committee and the General Secretary of the Party.
Xi Jinping will obviously keep the post of head of the CPC for the next 5 years.
What preceded this
- Xi Jinping made an important speech at the Communist Party Congress, where he summed up his work over the past 5 years and outlined a plan for the upcoming five years.
- He noted that unification with Taiwan will never disappear from the agenda. According to the official, Beijing is committed to peaceful unification, but does not rule out a forceful solution to this “problem”.
- The support of Xi Jinping by the Communist Party means that the course towards a global confrontation with the West will be maintained .
