ISSUE/POLICY BRIEFS & REPORTS
CHINA'S BIG TWO SESSIONS’ CONFIRM XI JINPING AS CHINA’S PRE-EMINENT UNRIVALLED LEADER The plenary sessions of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) -- China's version of a parliament -- and 14th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) -- China's top political advisory body -- that concluded on March 13 were, as anticipated, a success for Xi Jinping. Having again been elected as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee (CC) at the 20th Party Congress last October, 2952 Deputies to the NPC unanimously re-elected Xi Jinping for a third term as President of China. In his first speech after the NPC session, Xi Jinping exulted that he was honoured to be elected to "the lofty office of President". He also claimed to have lifted the people out of poverty and wiped out the centuries of humiliation they had suffered!

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.
