XI JINPING TIGHTENS HIS GRIP ON THE SECURITY APPARATUS Moving rapidly after the 20th Party Congress (October 6-12, 2022) approved his policies and
endorsed him for a third term, Chinese President Xi Jinping has over the past year and a half
further tightened his grip on the Party, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and especially the
security apparatus. Since last year Xi Jinping has increased the country’s priority for security,
as seen at the Politburo study session on January 31 when security was placed on equal
footing with development. He has enhanced attention to strengthening his grip on the
Ministry of State Security (MoSS) and Ministry of Public Security (MPS), referred to by Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) members as the "knife handle".

XI JINPING’S LEADERSHIP APPEARS TO BE FACING OPPOSITION’' From the time Xi Jinping made his ambition for a third term clear, and for months before the 20th Party
Congress (October 6-12, 2022), China’s official media has been publishing a series of articles
highlighting the importance of safeguarding Xi Jinping’s position as the ‘core of the Chinese
Communist Party Central Committee’. They have emphasised that Xi Jinping and the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee (CC)’s leadership were essential if China was to achieve its
modernisation and reunification with Taiwan.

XI JINPING PREPARING TO INITIATE ANOTHER 'PARTY RECTIFICATION' Since Chinese President Xi Jinping withdrew the stringent zero-Covid restrictions overnight and eased the campaign against China’s tech platforms, there has been considerable speculation in the international media to suggest that Xi Jinping had been weakened by the popular protests. A few observers suggested that some members of the Politburo or its Standing Committee had together urged Xi Jinping to amend the policies. There are, however, no indications that point to a weakening of Xi Jinping’s power or authority.

CHINESE PRESIDENT JIANG ZEMIN’S DEMISE REVEALS EXTENT OF DISCONTENT IN CHINA Recent events have confirmed the considerable subterranean discontent in China. The death
of former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, who was handpicked by the late Chinese leader
Deng Xiaoping to steer the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the country in the immediate
aftermath of the Tiananmen massacre in 1989, has occurred at a critical time for Chinese
President Xi Jinping. It complicates an already difficult situation when numerous cities across
the country have witnessed protests against the stringent restrictions to implement the zeroCovid policy and the economic situation is worsening.

THE PEOPLE’S LIBERATION ARMY (PLA) AND CHINA’S 20TH PARTY CONGRESS The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is the sword arm of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
It has been the strongest pillar of the Party and has had a presence and voice in the Party's
highest echelons since almost the very founding of the CCP. This is reflected at the Party
Congress held every five years where the Work Report of the Government approved by the
Party also sets out the task for the PLA for the coming five years. For example, Xi Jinping set
a timeline for China’s defence modernization at the 19th Party Congress in 2017

ASSESSMENT OF CHINA’S 20TH PARTY CONGRESS The 20th Party Congress (October 6-22, 2022) is a watershed event in China’s political history and marks a new phase. It exemplified Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee (CC) General Secretary Xi Jinping’s absolute control and firm grip on the CCP. From selection of members of the Politburo and its Standing Committee to finalisation of the Work Report presented to the 20th Party Congress, all carried Xi Jinping’s firm imprimatur. Xi Jinping has pushed China into becoming a one-man totalitarian state.

XI JINPING AND THE PORTENDS FOR HIS THIRD TERM The recent rumour that Xi Jinping had been placed under house arrest, prompted by wishful
thinking rather than fact, nonetheless confirmed that Xi Jinping is now China’s central figure
nearly as much as Mao and Deng Xiaoping once were!
