The decision was made at the end of the Communist Party’s party congress on Saturday. This is reported by the AFP news agency. – It is agreed that the party’s constitution includes statements about determined resistance and prevention of separatists who want “Taiwanese independence”, the resolution states. During the party congress, a resolution was also adopted supporting Xi Jinping continuing as party leader. It was unanimously adopted. – All party members are obliged to maintain Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position in the party’s Central Committee and in the party as a whole, the resolution states. Thus, it is almost certain that he will get a third five-year term in power. It has been common for Chinese leaders to only serve as party leader and president for two five-year terms. President Xi Jinping has wanted to change this so that he can remain in office for another term. In addition, four politicians were removed from the top leadership of the Communist Party, including China’s Prime Minister Li Keqiang, according to the AP. Governor of the Chinese central bank, Yi Gang, and chairman of the Chinese Financial Supervisory Authority, Guo Shuqing, were excluded by the Communist Party’s Central Committee, writes the Reuters news agency.
