The 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party

 

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.
