Commenting on the just concluded 20th Party Congress on October 26, Deng Yuwen, former
editor of the People's Daily and currently visiting scholar at the Institute of China Policy at the
University of Nottingham, said "Xi not only won a big victory in personnel affairs, but also
won a big victory in the revision of the party constitution. The two safeguards not only appear
in the general outline of the party constitution but are also written into the articles of the party
constitution and appear in the column of party members' obligations. In other words,
maintaining Xi's core status is the duty of every party member. If anyone opposes him, it is not
only against him personally, not only against the general secretary, but against the party
constitution. Xi not only turned his thoughts into the party constitution, he himself is the party
constitution."
