Party amends constitution to enshrine Xi at its core and his political thought as its underpinning ideology
China’s president, Xi Jinping, has strengthened his power as leader and elevated his status within Communist party history, with major political resolutions announced on the final day of a key political meeting.
On Saturday the Communist party (CCP) congress approved amendments to its constitution, including the so-called “Two Establishes” and “Two Safeguards”, aimed at enshrining Xi as being at the core of the party and his political thought as its underpinning ideology.
