Chinese leaders preparing official history to elevate Xi Jinping: Why it's significant

India TV News  

Xi Jinping's elevation: Chinese leaders are preparing to issue a political history that would give President Xi Jinping status beside the ruling Communist Party's most important figures, setting the stage for Xi to extend his rule next year. Issuing a similar statement under Xi would confirm he has amassed enough authority to ignore two-decade-old party practice that says he should step down next year when his second five-year term as general secretary ends. The history statement is expected to emphasise the party's successes in overseeing China's economic rise and likely ignore deadly political violence in its early decades in power and growing complaints about human rights abuses. By contrast, Xi has promoted a positive image of the party's early decades in power and called for it to revive its “original mission” as China's leading economic, political and cultural force.
