The name of Xi Jinping and his political ideas were included in the charter of the Chinese Communist Party last year – an honor previously awarded to the leaders of the PRC – Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.
Xi Jinping’s first term in office was marked by a tough fight against corruption in the state apparatus of China. For five years more than 100 top-level officials have been brought to justice. Many of them are current or potential opponents of the country’s leader.
As a result, Xi Jinping and his supporters have concentrated enough power in their hands to shape the composition of the Politburo completely at their discretion.
Formally, there are several political parties in China. However, the leading and leading role of the Communist Party of China is specifically spelled out in the country’s constitution. The supreme body of state power is the National People’s Congress (NPC).
