China’s Communist Party raises Xi to symbolic ‘core’ status
BEIJING — China’s Communist Party elevated President Xi Jinping to the position of “core” leader on Thursday, underscoring his clout and strengthening his dominance ahead of a reshuffle in the top ranks next year. A key party meeting this week called on all members to unite around the party leadership with “Comrade Xi Jinping as the core,” according to a communique released by the official Xinhua News Agency. “Core” status was an accolade bestowed on past leaders including famed reformist Deng Xiaoping and ex-President Jiang Zemin, but which Xi’s immediate predecessor never attained. “Xi and previous leaders have all emphasized how a dissolute party could eventually end up falling.” ___ Follow Gillian Wong on Twitter at twitter.com/gillianwong
