what xi jinpings congress means for india the view from india

The Hindu  

Chinese leader Xi Jinping began his unprecedented third five-year term on Sunday in even firmer control of the ruling Communist Party after filling the newly announced Politburo Standing Committee with all of his allies. Other Congress developments of note for India: On a similar note, Chinese diplomats said during the Congress China will continue a “fighting” approach to diplomacy with a “rock-hard resolve to safeguard sovereignty”. Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu also hit out, without directly naming the U.S., at “some forces bent on putting together small circles” and “stoking block-based confrontation” which “represents the biggest threat to the world order”. Another candidate, also promoted to the Central Committee, is Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Haixing who has a background in European affairs, although Xi’s familiarity with Qin, who was trusted with the posting in Washington at a difficult time in relations, may be a deciding factor.
