The 20th National Congress of the Chinese
Communist Party
The 20th National Congress of the Chinese
Communist Party formally closed on
Saturday (Oct., 23, 2022)
The full report answers some of the questions
about China’s future direction and priorities, although it does not drill down
into specific policies. It explained Xi’s common prosperity
initiative and how it can be achieved. The report also
outlined his vision of green development and greater
self-reliance in science and technology.
Xi also delivered a strong message on
anti-corruption, as well as military and defence after pledges to
improve strategic deterrence were included in the report for the first time the 20th party congress is very much a show for Xi. The
message of his supreme leadership and his dream of national rejuvenation will
be amplified and promoted in China many months after the conclusion of the
congress
Chinese
paramount leader Xi Jinping has unveiled his main supporting cast
for his record-breaking third term, promoting rising stars Li Qiang, Li Xi,
Ding Xuexiang and Cai Qi to China’s highest decision-making body.
Together with ideology tsar Wang Huning, and former
anti-corruption chief Zhao Leji, they will form the new Politburo Standing
Committee. By bringing these fresh faces into his core team, Xi has laid the
foundation for his rule for the next five years and beyond.
He brought them out to meet the press at the Great Hall of the
People on Sunday, capping the Communist Party’s week-long 20th national
congress. According to state news agency Xinhua, the new hierarchy
order of the Politburo is party secretary Xi Jinping, 69, Li Qiang, 63, Zhao
Leji, 65, Wang Huning, 67, Cai Qi, 66, Ding Xuexiang, 60 and Li Xi, 66.
This means Li Qiang will
become China’s next premier, as the South China Morning Post
reported earlier. Cai Qi is the first secretary of the party’s secretariat –
taking over from Wang Huning – and will be responsible for the day-to-day
running of key party affairs.
