China's Communist Party on Saturday endorsed the country’s president Xi Jinping's “core position” among its leadership, as he concluded a five-yearly congress that is now almost certain to bring him a norm-busting third term in power, reports NDTV.
China's ruling party approved a reshuffle that saw a number of top officials including Premier Li Keqiang step down, allowing Xi to appoint new allies at the end of the week-long gathering in Beijing.
The largely rubber-stamp meeting of among 2,300 party delegates was meticulously choreographed, with Xi determined to avoid any surprises as he protected his leadership for the next five years.
But in an unanticipated move former leader Hu Jintao was led out of the closing ceremony. No official explanation was given.
