They visited the site of the CPC’s 7th National Congress, a former apartment of the late Chinese leader Mao Zedong, and an exhibition at the Yan’an Revolutionary Memorial Hall, which presents the story of the thirteen years the CPC Central Committee founded in Yan’un.
A report in the Washington Post described him as a symbol through his newly appointed high-ranking lieutenants at the Yan’an base, the birthplace of Mao Zedong’s Communist Party’s takeover of the nation.
Standing in the cave from which Mao led his Red Army troops, China’s top tough leader in decades warned of a lack of loyalty, harsh practices and sacrifice. The party, Xi told the assembled leaders, will have to promote the spirit of Yan’an,” the US newspaper added.
Guoguang Wu, a senior fellow at Stanford’s Center for Chinese Economics and Institutions, said Mr. Xi insists he succeeds in the tradition of Mao. ” he added.
At the XX National Congress, the Communist Party Xi Jinping unveiled the new central leadership of the Party at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, where he secured a historic third term as the country’s first leader.
Xi’s most sensible aides have been promoted to the CPC Politburo Standing Committee in senior management. Through the 20th National Congress, the CPC proved that President Xi Jinping is the core of strength in China and that no one can dare to oppose him.
Xi Jinping’s historic third term as China’s president will most likely see Beijing’s more radical policies on the economy, foreign relations and human rights, analysts told Washington-based Radio Free Asia (RFA).
Xi had filled the Politburo Standing Committee with close allies, and it seemed he could now act as he pleased, according to Xi Haiming, an ethnic Mongolian rights activist in Germany.
“This is the newest madness,” Xi Haiming told a political forum in Taiwan. He said: “Xi appeared, naked, as Emperor Xi, as a dictator. “
According to Wu Guoguang, Xi has more influence over who becomes prime minister, his second-in-command, Li Qiang, than the defeated Supreme Leader Mao Zedong. “Xi Jinping has more strength than Mao Zedong to appoint his favorite prime minister. “Wu told RFA. (ANI)
