At the meeting that ended today, the removal of former president Hu Jintao from the hall caused consternation.
The Communist Party of China has added a position to its charter stating that the country opposes Taiwan’s independence. The party that monopolizes China decided on the matter at its party meeting today, Saturday.
According to the record, China resolutely opposes and prevents “separatists seeking Taiwan independence”. China considers Taiwan a rebel province, but in practice Taiwan is an independent island nation.
At the same time, the party meeting confirmed the president Xi Jinping position at the heart of power. Experts consider it almost certain that China will nominate Xi for a third presidential term.
– Dare to fight, dare to win, Xi told the 2,300 participants of the party meeting. He also called for hard work.
The week-long 20th Party Congress of the Communist Party of China ended in Beijing today with a speech by President Xi. The party meeting is held every fifth year.
The prime minister of China is changing
The party meeting has largely been characterized as a rubber stamp, whose task is to approve the decisions and policies that have already been made.
The change in China’s leadership was now made that the prime minister Li Keqiang resigned from his position. It is estimated that President Xi fulfills the central functions of the country and the party with his trusted people.
The carefully planned program of the party meeting was shattered when the former leader of China Hu Jintao were ushered out of the meeting hall in the middle of the closing ceremony. According to witnesses, Hu, 79, who was sitting next to Xi Jinping, reluctantly left after initially refusing to leave the hall. No official explanation was given for removing the former president from the meeting.
On the closing day of the party congress, the leaders of China received unpleasant information about the new defense cooperation agreement in the Pacific region. Australia and Japan signed an agreement in Perth, Australia, which will deepen the countries’ military cooperation and the exchange of intelligence information.
Australia and Japan justified the deepening of cooperation with the need to respond to the growth of China’s military power. The agreement was signed by the prime ministers Anthony Albanese and Fumio Kishida.
